ABSTRACT:
A sealing probe for injecting a sealant into a sealant-receiving region between a pair of members. The probe includes a hollow, sealant-releasing section, for insertion into the hole in the upper member into at least a portion of the sealant-receiving region. The sealant-releasing section has a plurality of apertures disposed about an outer wall of such section. The aperture passes through the outer wall from a hollow region within such section to the sealant-receiving region. The sealant-receiving section also includes an entrance adjacent a top portion of the sealant section for receiving a sealant and passing such sealant to the hollow region and then from the hollow region, through the apertures, to the region external the sealant-receiving region. The probe includes a first seal disposed about an upper portion of the outer wall. The first seal extends beyond the outer surface of the sealant-releasing section to prevent sealant from passing beyond such first seal to portions of the hole above such first seal. The probe includes a second seal disposed adjacent to a lower portion of the outer wall to prevent sealant from passing into the aperture in the lower member.
