Abstract
Abstract A die coating apparatus for applying coating solution onto materials such as wires. The apparatus includes a radial bearing in a position adjacent and prior to a floating die with respect to the advancing direction of the material to be coated, so that the material to be coated after having passed through the coating solution is passed through the radial bearing before advancing into the floating die. Thus, the undesirable lateral vibration of the material to be coated at the floating die is prevented and a coating film of uniform thickness is obtained on the material to be coated.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
128 words
A coating apparatus for applying a coating solution on to a material to be coated passing therethrough, said apparatus comprising: a container containing said coating solution therein; floating die member means within said container and having an opening therethrough for allowing said material to be coated to pass therethrough after it passes through said coating solution; and radial bearing member means in a position in said container prior to said floating die member means with respect to the direction of movement of said material to be coated, said bearing member means having a through hole through which said material to be coated passes said radial bearing member means being comprised of a static pressure type forced lubricating bearing that maintains the material coaxial of the said though hole.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
128 words
A coating apparatus for applying a coating solution on to a material to be coated passing therethrough, said apparatus comprising: a container containing said coating solution therein; floating die member means within said container and having an opening therethrough for allowing said material to be coated to pass therethrough after it passes through said coating solution; and radial bearing member means in a position in said container prior to said floating die member means with respect to the direction of movement of said material to be coated, said bearing member means having a through hole through which said material to be coated passes said radial bearing member means being comprised of a static pressure type forced lubricating bearing that maintains the material coaxial of the said though hole.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
60 words
An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein: said coating solution is pressurized in said container; said radial bearing member means has at least one inlet opening therethrough communicating with its bearing surface, whereby said coating solution, after pressurization, is supplied through said inlet opening into the clearance between said bearing surface and said material to be coated passing therethrough.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said radial bearing member means is fixed to said container.
