  • COATING DEVICE WITH INSULATION
    Publication number: 20090285999
    Abstract: A coating device for coating a flexible substrate and methods of manufacturing and operating a coating device are described. The coating device includes a roll having an axis and two or more insulating layers, wherein a first insulating layer is applied on a first area and a second insulating layer is applied on a second area on the surface of the roll, the first and second area being circumferential, and wherein at least one insulating layer is adapted to be applied as a vapor or as a fluid, and a central area between the first and second area, and a flexible substrate receiving area having two or more boundaries, wherein a first boundary lies within the first area and a second boundary lies within the second area.

  • Metallizing device for vacuum metallizing
    Patent number: 6189806
    Abstract: A metallizing device for vacuum metallizing arrangements is disclosed having a vaporizer (3) heated by an electrical heating rod (8). This vaporizer (3) is connected to a nozzle element (1) in the form of a hollow body. For the purpose of vaporizing a substrate, vapor flows out of the vaporizer (3) into the nozzle element (1) and from there out of a nozzle gap (2) toward the substrate.

  • Evaporator boat for an apparatus for coating substrates
    Patent number: 5788769
    Abstract: A flat, elongate, trough-shaped part (8) made of an electrically conductive ceramic can be heated by the direct passage of current between clamping points at opposite ends. The trough-shaped part (8) being provided with openings (12) for reducing cross sectional area where increased ohmic heating is desired, such as near the clamping points and between individual areas where wire is fed for melting in the trough.

  • Method and apparatus for the production of metal-free areas during metal vapor deposition
    Patent number: 5652022
    Abstract: An area of an insulating strip (3) which is to remain free of metal is covered by an endless cover strip (4), which rests on the insulating strip (3) and travels along with it at the same speed. Before it enters a vapor deposition zone (5), the cover strip is provided with a film of oil on the side facing the metal evaporator (6) and, after the cover strip (4) has passed through the vapor deposition zone (5) and after the cover strip (4) and the insulating strip (3) have been separated from each other, the oil which has been deposited from the vapor phase onto the cover strip (4) is removed by heating the cover strip (4) with a heater (7) installed in the immediate vicinity of the cover strip (4).
