METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR APPLYING A LIQUID COATING TO A MOVING SURFACE

摘要

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR APPLYING A LIQUID COATING TO A MOVING SURFACE An device (10) for applying a liquid to a moving surface (23) includes a tank (12) having a weir (13) and having a front guide plate (14) for providing a laminar and uniform flow of liquid to a sleeve-encased roller (21). The marginal ends of the roller are supported by yokes (18,18A). The roller is freely rotatable about its longitudinal axis, and is capable of movement toward and away from a surface-to-be-coated (23) of an object (22) passing therebeneath. As the moving surface passes beneath the roller, liquid is applied uniformly to the moving surface.
