DEFINITION

Classification: 118/100

(under the class definition) Coating apparatus having a nonfluid, self-sustaining member, spaced from the coating applier and physically in contact with the previously applied coating, which member works or otherwise modifies the coating.

(1) Note. The member may be rigid or flexible and it may be porous. It may squeegee surplus coating material from the work, or finish the coating, or remove complete portions of the coating from the work.

(2) Note. Among the art terms used to describe these members are the terms: wipers, scrapers, doctors and burnishers.

(3) Note. Wiping or doctoring members which are actually part of the coating material supply device, for example, strand coating devices having an exit die below the upper surface of the coating material reservoir, are excluded from this subclass, and will be found in subclasses 400+.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

63, for apparatus utilizing a gas blast to modify the coating on the base. 200+, for coating apparatus having solid applicators for transferring a film of coating material from a source of supply to the work.

400+, for coating devices wherein the base contacts a pool of coating material and a retaining wall for the pool serves to meter the quantity of coating material applied to the base, and see (3) Note above.
