A liquid dispensing apparatus that provides for positional adjustment of multiple liquid dispensing modules. The liquid dispensing apparatus includes a flow metering device which provides a flow of a liquid to a plurality of discharge orifices and a spray head attachment comprising a stationary plate, at least one movable plate, and multiple liquid dispensing modules. Flexible liquid supply lines route the liquid from the discharge orifices to the liquid dispensing modules. Each movable plate carries at least one liquid dispensing module and is movable relative to the stationary plate for varying the relative positions of adjacent ones of the liquid dispensing modules. The flexible liquid supply lines conform to the positional adjustment of the movable plates. For dispensing heated liquids, the apparatus may further include a heated enclosure through which the liquid supply lines are routed in the fluid path between the discharge orifices and the liquid dispensing modules.

1. An apparatus for dispensing a liquid comprising:a flow metering device having a liquid discharge port operable to discharge metered quantities of the liquid; a stationary plate mounted to said flow metering device, said stationary plate including a first throughbore extending therethrough; a movable plate mounted for sliding movement relative to said stationary plate, said movable plate including a liquid passageway having an inlet and an outlet; a liquid dispensing module attached to said movable plate, said liquid dispensing module fluidically coupled with said outlet of said liquid passageway; and a liquid supply line having a first end fluidically coupled with said liquid discharge port and a second end extending through said first throughbore to fluidically couple with said inlet of said liquid passageway, said liquid supply line having a flexible first portion that permits said liquid discharge port and said inlet of said liquid passageway to remain fluidically coupled when said movable plate is slidingly moved relative to said stationary plate.
