DEFINITION

Classification: 118/261

(under subclass 258) Coating apparatus having (1) a solid transfer member which separates a film of coating material from a bulk supply and applies said film to the applicator, or (2) a member for limiting the thickness of the film of coating material retained on the applicator.

(1) Note. The means for limiting the thickness of the film retained on the applicator may be, by way of example, a solid scraper edge or it may be a so-called "air-doctor" or gaseous blast which blows off the surplus coating material.

(2) Note. In every instance the doctor member regulates the thickness of the film on the applicator before the applicator contacts the base to be coated. For members which scrape excess coating material from the applicator after the completion of the coating operation, see subclass 203 of this class.
