Description

Covers apparatus and devices for applying liquid, semi-liquid, or flowable materials uniformly to surfaces by means other than spraying or atomising. This subclass includes brushes, rollers, squeegees, immersion coating systems, and curtain-coating equipment used for paints, varnishes, adhesives, inks, and similar fluent materials in industrial and commercial applications. Excludes spraying and atomising devices, which are classified under B05B, and surface preparation or finishing processes that do not involve material application.

Scope Notes

Glossary: Coating coatings The applied material. A coating may be a solidified layer originally applied as a liquid (e.g. dried paint) or a layer of material which, once applied, remains in a liquid or semi-liquid state (e.g. lubricant). Fluidised-bed technique A technique used to cause dry particulate material to behave like a fluid. This is commonly achieved by the introduction of a pressurised fluid into the material and promotes a high degree of contact between the fluid and material. Liquid or fluent designates materials which can flow, e.g. liquids, including solutions, dispersions and suspensions, as well as semi-liquids, pastes, melts and particulate materials. Particulate materials particulate material Solid materials in the form of very small pieces, e.g. powders, granules, short fibres or chips. | Limiting references: Brushes Implements for writing and drawing | Application references: Apparatus for coating or filling sweetmeats or confectionery Apparatus for coating or filling frozen sweets Appliances specially adapted for applying liquid cosmetic or toilet substances, e.g. using roller or ball Hand implements for shoe-cleaning with applicators for shoe polish Inking arrangements or devices for printing machines or presses Ball-point pens Hand or desk devices of the office or personal type for applying liquid, other than ink, by contact to surfaces, e.g. for applying adhesive Accessories or implements for use in connection with painting or artistic drawing Pliable tubular containers adapted to be permanently deformed to expel contents for applying contents to surfaces Container closures with pads or like contents-applying means Hot-dipping or immersion apparatus for applying the coating metal in the molten state without affecting the shape Liquid processing apparatus for processing exposed photographic materials , Apparatus for coating photoresists in photomechanical, e.g. photolithographic, production of textured or patterned surfaces Apparatus for coating conductors or cables with impervious material Apparatus for applying conductive material to the surface of the insulating support in the manufacture of printed circuits ,
