outer diameter of the tube portion 86 in this manner when thumbscrew 34 makes contact with the outer diameter of the tube portion 86 the frictional relationship allows the gooseneck tip 10 and mud pump 2 to maintain a seal a lock indention 90 is sized to accept the distal end of the thumbscrew 34 to provide alignment and additional engagement between the two it should be noted that while a thumbscrew is disclosed other types of quick connectors suitable to create engagement between the base member and the tips may be utilized without departing from the scope of the invention such quick connectors may include but should not be limited to ball locks spring pins collets and the like the upper end portion 12 of the gooseneck tip has a substantially 90 degree bend 22 the upper end portion 12 may also include a support plate 40 the support plate is disposed on the substantially 90 degree bend 22 opposite the second portion of the quick connector 16 however the support plate may be located anywhere along the gooseneck tip 10 the support plate 40 includes a rod member 42 bent into a semi circular shape that is constructed and arranged to support a bazooka type tape applicator when the joint tape applicator is installed on the outlet 18 of the gooseneck tip 10 the lower end portion 14 contains a substantially 180 degree bend 24 terminating in an outlet 18 the outlet 18 is upwardly facing so as to connect to a bazooka type tape applicator not shown on the 180 degree bend 24 a base plate 28 is mounted.
