Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A testing device for checking the quality of a paint or lacquer layer includes at least one friction element moving device. To prevent an impression on a test region, the friction element moving device is configured to (i) initially move at least one friction element in frictional contact along a defined path, e.g., a circular path, over a test region of a paint or lacquer layer, and (ii) subsequently eliminate the frictional contact between the friction element and the test region during the movement of the friction element.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A testing device for checking the quality of one of a paint or lacquer layer, comprising: at least one friction element having a convex surface; and at least one friction element moving device configured to (i) initially move the at least one friction element in frictional contact along a defined path over a test region of the one of the paint or lacquer layer, and (ii) subsequently eliminate the frictional contact between the friction element and the test…
