DEFINITION

Classification: 118/200

(under the class definition) Coating apparatus having a nonfluid, self-sustaining body impregnated with or wetted by fluent coating material, the body physically touching the work and transferring a film of coating material thereto from a bulk supply.

(1) Note. An impregnated applicator may be, for example, a brush, a porous pad or other body which retains or contains the bulk supply of coating material.

(2) Note. Solid applicators for transferring coating material having side walls to enable the transfer means to retain a layer of coating material of thickness greater than a surface film are considered to be immersion coating devices and such subject matter is classified in subclass 400.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
