Abstract
Abstract A bar coating process for coating a coating liquid on a continuously travelling web which comprises the steps of supplying a coating liquid so as to form a liquid reservoir immediately before a position of contact between a bar and the web, and coating the coating liquids on the web using the bar, wherein the bar is axially positioned perpendicularly to the travelling direction of the web, is supported on a supporting member and is rotated in the same direction as that of the web while coming into contact with the web. The diameter of the bar being 6 to 25 mm.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
149 words
In a coating apparatus for coating a coating liquid on a continuously travelling web including a supply of coating liquid and a rotatable coating bar positioned between said traveling web and said supply of coating liquid and axially perpendicularly to the travelling direction of said web, the improvement comprising said bar being a wire or a grooved bar 6 to 25 mm in diameter, positioned on a support member under said web and rotatable in the direction of said web, said bar picking up said coating liquid from said supply and carrying said coating liquid directly to the lower surface of said web to form a reservoir of said coating liquid in and immediately prior to the nip between said bar and said travelling web and maintaining said reservoir by rotating said bar at a high enough rotating speed to pick up a sufficient amount of said coating liquid.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
149 words
In a coating apparatus for coating a coating liquid on a continuously travelling web including a supply of coating liquid and a rotatable coating bar positioned between said traveling web and said supply of coating liquid and axially perpendicularly to the travelling direction of said web, the improvement comprising said bar being a wire or a grooved bar 6 to 25 mm in diameter, positioned on a support member under said web and rotatable in the direction of said web, said bar picking up said coating liquid from said supply and carrying said coating liquid directly to the lower surface of said web to form a reservoir of said coating liquid in and immediately prior to the nip between said bar and said travelling web and maintaining said reservoir by rotating said bar at a high enough rotating speed to pick up a sufficient amount of said coating liquid.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
34 words
The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said bar sits in a support member and said supply is formed between said support and a weir member positioned approximately perpendicular to the surface of said web.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the rotating speed of said bar is substantially equal to the speed of said web to prevent scratches on said web.
