Abstract

Abstract A dielectric web substrate is primed for adhesion of a plastic coating by passing between two rolls in rolling contact therewith. One roll has a conductive core and an insulating jacket while the other roll has a conductive surface. A high voltage A.C. source is connected between the conductive portions of both rolls to establish a corona discharge therebetween to effect said priming. Additional rolls with conductive surfaces may be connected in parallel with the first such roll.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 136 words
Apparatus for corona priming a dielectric web substrate for adhesion to plastic material comprising first and second rolls mounted for rotation on parallel axes, at least one of said rolls being mounted for biased movement towards the other roll, means for training said web between the nip of said first and second rolls for rolling engagement by both of said rolls, one of said rolls having as its entire web engaging surface the radially outer surface of a thin layer of dielectric material and means for effecting electrically conductive contact with substantially the entire radially inner surface of said dielectric layer, the other of said rolls having its entire web engaging surface formed of electrically conductive material, and means for supplying a corona producing voltage between said conductive material and said means for effecting conductive contact.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 136 words
Apparatus for corona priming a dielectric web substrate for adhesion to plastic material comprising first and second rolls mounted for rotation on parallel axes, at least one of said rolls being mounted for biased movement towards the other roll, means for training said web between the nip of said first and second rolls for rolling engagement by both of said rolls, one of said rolls having as its entire web engaging surface the radially outer surface of a thin layer of dielectric material and means for effecting electrically conductive contact with substantially the entire radially inner surface of said dielectric layer, the other of said rolls having its entire web engaging surface formed of electrically conductive material, and means for supplying a corona producing voltage between said conductive material and said means for effecting conductive contact.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 28 words
Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said roll with the web engaging layer of dielectric material comprises a metallic core jacketed with a sleeve of said dielectric material.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 20 words
Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said means for supplying a corona producing voltage comprises a high voltage A.C. source.
