Anotations

Scope note:

Electric devices that provide continuous heat to melt thermoplastic glue, which is typically inserted into the device in solid form, melted, and pushed through the gun by a mechanical trigger mechanism. The device is often hand-held and gun-like in shape with barrel and hand grip. Another form of the device may allow heat to be applied directly to the thermoplastic adhesives that have been placed in solid form onto the surface to be glued.
