Title: Notched applicator wheel

Abstract: The present invention is an improvement in a machine described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,046,106 for applying a daub of liquid resin to the threads of a bolt-like fastener. In the unimproved machine the daub was applied by moving the fasteners tangentially to a disc-like applicator wheel. The improvement includes a number of notches in the circumferential edge of the applicator wheel. The fasteners engage the notches with the result that the patch of resin applied extends around the threaded fastener farther in the circumferential direction.
