Abstract
Abstract Apparatus for applying partial surface coatings to textile substrates, particularly adhesive compounds in fixing inset technology. A cylinder rotatable about a cylindrical axis has inner and outer cylindrical surfaces with perforations extending through these surfaces. A coating head mounted inside the cylinder has a coating nozzle adjacent and facing the inner surface. The head includes a feed duct, a main duct extending from the feed duct and an opening chamber extending from the main duct. The opening chamber is bounded by two sealing lips adapted closely to the inside of the cylinder, supported by a mounting structure for the chamber and defining an outlet opening therebetween for controlling flow from the chamber. The structure has rods attached to the lips and adjustably coupled to the coating head to enable the opening to be adjusted in width.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 19
Claim 1
Independent Claim
119 words
An apparatus for applying partial surface coatings to textile substrates, particularly adhesive compounds, comprising: a rotatable metal cylinder having inner and outer cylindrical surfaces, having perforations extending therethrough from said inner surface to said outer surface and being rotatable about a longitudinal axis; a coating head mounted inside of said cylinder and having at least one coating nozzle adjacent and facing said inner surface; feed means for moving a textile substrate in contact with said outer surface adjacent said coating nozzle; a hot air nozzle mounted adjacent to and externally of said cylinder and directed at a contact point of said cylinder with the textile substrate; and supply means for conveying a plastic coating compound to said coating head.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
119 words
An apparatus for applying partial surface coatings to textile substrates, particularly adhesive compounds, comprising: a rotatable metal cylinder having inner and outer cylindrical surfaces, having perforations extending therethrough from said inner surface to said outer surface and being rotatable about a longitudinal axis; a coating head mounted inside of said cylinder and having at least one coating nozzle adjacent and facing said inner surface; feed means for moving a textile substrate in contact with said outer surface adjacent said coating nozzle; a hot air nozzle mounted adjacent to and externally of said cylinder and directed at a contact point of said cylinder with the textile substrate; and supply means for conveying a plastic coating compound to said coating head.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
An apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said feed means comprises a rotating roller adjacent said outer surface of said cylinder and opposite said nozzle, said rotating roller forming a nip with said cylinder for the textile substrate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
An apparatus according to claim 2 wherein said feed means comprises a pair of calender rolls receiving the textile substrate downstream of said rotating roller and rotating simultaneously with said rotating roller.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
80 words
An apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said coating head is a beam extending parallel to said axis and comprises a feed duct, a main duct extending from said feed duct and an opening chamber extending from said main duct, said opening chamber being bounded by two sealing lips adapted closely to the inside of the cylinder which are supported by mounting means on said coating head and define an outlet opening therebetween for controlling flow from said opening chamber.
