Abstract
Abstract Large wires are coiled with latex by pulling them upward through curved channels down which the latex continuously flows. Flow rate is controlled by means of a weir in the tank and bubbles are broken up by flowing the latex through apertures in a submerged baffle.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
137 words
An apparatus for coating heavy wire with latex comprising, a. tank means holding a supply of said latex, b. weir means restricting a flow of latex from said tank means and means for vertically adjusting said weir means c. a fixedly mounted curved member comprising portions extending from said weir means downwardly, forwardly and rearwardly, said member defining at least one channel for flowing said latex, d. means continuously advancing said wire upwardly through said channel, said wire being coated with said latex within said channel, and said channel conveying excess latex downwardly and rearwardly away from said wire by means of said rearwardly extending portion, supply means continuously flowing said latex into said tank means, and baffle means within said tank means preventing surface movement of said latex from said supply means to said weir means.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
