Abstract
Abstract Extrudable materials which exhibit a decrease in viscosity as the shear rate is increased, such as magnetic dispersion striping materials, are extrusion coated in the form of a narrow stripe. The stripe has predetermined uniform cross-sectional dimensions including substantially uniform thickness, and is coated onto a moving web by means of a die maintained in a predetermined spaced relation with the web. The die has two or more bores through which the extrudable material is extruded in columns onto the moving web to form the stripe thereon.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
183 words
A method for extrusion coating on a web a magnetic dispersion striping material in a stripe which has a high width to thickness ratio and is of predetermined uniform cross-sectional dimensions, including substantially uniform thickness, which method comprises the steps of: moving said web along a predetermined path; extruding said magnetic dispersion striping material through a die located above the path of the web having at least two bores of predetermined dimensions positioned in a predetermined spaced relation with the path of the web to form columns of the extruded material which extend perpendicularly to the path of the web and are of sufficient stability to bridge the space between the die and the web; and impinging the extruded columns of material on the moving web; the size and spacing of said bores, the space between said die and said web, and the speed at which said web is moved being so selected that said extruded columns of material coalesce after impinging on said web into a stripe of uniform cross-sectional dimensions, including substantially uniform thickness, having a high width to thickness ratio.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
183 words
A method for extrusion coating on a web a magnetic dispersion striping material in a stripe which has a high width to thickness ratio and is of predetermined uniform cross-sectional dimensions, including substantially uniform thickness, which method comprises the steps of: moving said web along a predetermined path; extruding said magnetic dispersion striping material through a die located above the path of the web having at least two bores of predetermined dimensions positioned in a predetermined spaced relation with the path of the web to form columns of the extruded material which extend perpendicularly to the path of the web and are of sufficient stability to bridge the space between the die and the web; and impinging the extruded columns of material on the moving web; the size and spacing of said bores, the space between said die and said web, and the speed at which said web is moved being so selected that said extruded columns of material coalesce after impinging on said web into a stripe of uniform cross-sectional dimensions, including substantially uniform thickness, having a high width to thickness ratio.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim

Claim 4
Independent Claim
201 words
A method for extrusion coating on a photographic film a magnetic dispersion striping material in a stripe which has a high width to thickness ratio and is of predetermined uniform cross-sectional dimensions including substantially uniform thickness, which method comprises the steps of: moving the film along a predetermined path; feeding under pressure into a hopper chamber the magnetic dispersion striping material; extruding the magnetic dispersion striping material in the hopper chamber through a die located above the path of the film having two bores of predetermined dimensions positioned in a predetermined spaced relation with the path of the film to form two columns of the magnetic dispersion striping material which extend perpendicularly to the path of the film and are of sufficient stability to bridge the space between the die and the film; and impinging the extruded columns of material on the moving film; the size and spacing of said bores, the space between said die and said film; and the speed at which said film is moved being so selected that said extruded columns of material coalesce after impinging on said film into a stripe of uniform cross-sectional dimensions, including substantially uniform thickness, having a high width to thickness ratio.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
