Abstract: Coating apparatus (20) includes a pair of juxtaposed bodies (22, 24, 112, 114, 112a, 114a, 138, 140) defining a nip region (30, 126, 126a, 150) therebetween, with each presenting a periphery (26, 28, 116, 118, 116a, 118a, 144, 146) and being rotatable in opposite directions, respectively. The peripheries (26, 28, 116, 118, 116a, 118a, 144, 146) of the bodies (22, 24, 112, 114, 112a, 114a, 138, 140) are provided with a series of indentations (32, 120, 120a, 148). Liquid coating material is directed onto the bodies (22, 24, 112, 114, 112a, 114a, 138, 140) through an outlet (100, 110, 158) during rotation of the bodies (22, 24, 112, 114, 112a, 114a, 138, 140). This generates an adjustable spray or fog flow pattern (108) for effective coating of a substrate.
