Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An apparatus for applying a strip of elastomeric material to a surface, the apparatus comprising: a nozzle having an inlet in fluid communication with a pumping means, said nozzle having an upper surface and a lower surface, wherein the lower surface has a curved shape for mating engagement with an outer surface of a rotatable roller, said lower surface having an opening positioned for engagement with the roller outer surface.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus for applying a strip of elastomeric material to a surface, the apparatus comprising: a nozzle having an inlet in fluid communication with a pumping means, said nozzle having an upper surface and a lower surface having a nozzle outlet, said nozzle having an interior channel having a portion immediately upstream of the nozzle outlet that decreases in area, wherein the lower surface has a curved shape for mating engagement with an outer surface of a rotatable roller, said nozzle outlet being positioned onto the roller outer surface, wherein the roller is pivotally mounted so it can pivot about a fixed point not located in the center of the roller. 2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the pumping means is an extruder. 3. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the pumping means is an extruder in combination with a gear pump. 4. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the outlet of the nozzle has a V shaped outlet. 5. The roller and nozzle apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the outlet of the nozzle further includes a die. 6. The roller and nozzle apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the outlet of the nozzle is formed between the roller outer surface and the curved surface of the nozzle.
