  • Publication number: 20170128962
    Abstract: A first feed section supplies a solvent from a first discharge opening formed in a side surface of a nozzle receiving portion. A cylindrical drain flow path is attached to a bottom surface of the nozzle receiving portion. The drain flow path drains at least a coating solution dispensed from a nozzle placed in the nozzle receiving portion. The drain flow path has a second feed section for adjusting a drain flow rate of the solvent flowing from the nozzle receiving portion and passing through the drain flow path. With the second feed section adjusting the drain flow rate when the solvent flows through the drain flow path, although an inside diameter of the drain flow path is set larger than a diameter of a nozzle dispenser opening, the solvent can be collected stably in the nozzle receiving portion, whereby the solvent can easily be sucked into a nozzle tip.
