Caulk Cartridge Cap

Abstract

A method for sealing a caulk cartridge type container may include the steps of opening an end of a dispensing nozzle of the caulk cartridge type container, deforming the caulk cartridge type container so that dispensing material stored within the chalk cartridge type container flows through the end of the dispensing nozzle, positioning a dispensing sleeve on the end of the dispensing nozzle, deforming the caulk cartridge type container so that the dispensing material flows into the dispensing sleeve, curing the dispensing material within the dispensing sleeve. The curing step may cure the dispensing material only within the dispensing sleeve, and the dispensing nozzle may be tapered. The dispensing sleeve may form a friction fit with the dispensing nozzle, the dispensing sleeve may be deformable. The dispensing sleeve may be expandable, and the dispensing sleeve may be rigid.

1 . A method for sealing a caulk cartridge type container, comprising the steps of:
 opening an end of a dispensing nozzle of the caulk cartridge type container;   deforming the caulk cartridge type container so that dispensing material stored within the chalk cartridge type container flows through the end of the dispensing nozzle;   positioning a dispensing sleeve on the end of the dispensing nozzle;   deforming the caulk cartridge type container so that the dispensing material flows into the dispensing sleeve;   curing the dispensing material within the dispensing sleeve.   
   
   
       2 . A method for sealing a caulk cartridge type container as in  claim 1 , wherein the curing step cures the dispensing material only within the dispensing sleeve. 
   
   
       3 . A method for sealing a caulk cartridge type container as in  claim 1 , wherein the dispensing nozzle is tapered. 
   
   
       4 . A method for sealing a caulk cartridge type container as in  claim 1  wherein the dispensing sleeve forms a friction fit with the dispensing nozzle. 
   
   
       5 . A method for sealing a caulk cartridge type container as in  claim 1 , wherein the dispensing sleeve is deformable. 
   
   
       6 . A method for sealing a caulk cartridge type container as in  claim 1 , wherein the dispensing sleeve is expandable. 
   
   
       7 . A method for sealing a caulk cartridge type container as in  claim 1 , wherein the dispensing sleeve is rigid.
