Abstract: Disclosed herein is a die coater comprising a die composed of upper and lower mold-pieces which form a manifold and a slit extending from the manifold, an inner deckle shaft disposed in the manifold, a deckle disposed in the slit in a fluid-tight state, and a deckle guide; the inner deckle shaft having a fluid-tight portion near an end thereof and capable of moving with its fluid-tight state kept, the deckle and the deckle guide being secured to the inner deckle shaft, and the deckle being connected with the fluid-tight portion of the inner deckle shaft.

Abstract: A die coater comprising a die composed of upper and lower mold-pieces which form a manifold and a slit extending from the manifold, a first paint supply pipe communicating with one end portion of the manifold, a second paint supply pipe communicating with another end portion of the manifold and a flow channel closing member disposed in the manifold in a fluid sealing state, the member being movable along the manifold.

Abstract: A method for continuously producing a composite laminate comprising a thermoplastic synthetic resin sheet and an aluminum sheet laminated on each side of the resin sheet, wherein(1) as the thermoplastic resin sheet, a solid sheet is used,(2) as the aluminum sheet, an aluminum sheet having a thermoplastic adhesive layer provided on its surface is used,(3) two such aluminum sheets with the respective adhesive layers facing to each other, with the thermoplastic synthetic resin sheet interposed therebetween, are fed to hot press bonding rollers, and(4) when they are fed to the hot press bonding rollers, (a) a tension of at least 2 kg/mm.sup.2 is exerted to each aluminum sheet, and (b) the thermoplastic adhesive layer provided on the surface of each aluminum sheet is maintained to be in a molten state.
