  • Applicator device
    Patent number: 6322627
    Abstract: A device for the application of a liquid or viscous coating medium onto a moving fiber material web, specifically a paper or cardboard web, includes an applicator unit, a first backing element which is assigned to the applicator unit and around at least a portion of the circumference of which the fiber material web travels, a leveling and/or metering device, and a second backing element which is assigned to the leveling and/or metering device and around at least a portion of the circumference of which the fiber material web travels. The surface characteristics of the first backing element and the second backing element are matched to each other so that the fiber material web—under the influence of the drive by the second backing element—may move relative to the first backing element.
