Methods for applying liquid to articles without touching the articles
Abstract
Abstract COATING FLUID IS APPLIED TO AN ARTICLE, WITHOUT CONTACTING A BODY OF THE ARTICLE WITH MEANS OTHER THAN THE FLUID TO BE APPLIED. AN APPLICATING MEMBER, HAVING AT LEAST ONE TOOTH WITH A CONCAVITY THEREIN, IS DIPPED INTO A BATH OF COATING FLUID, RETRACTED AND FLUID RETAINED IN AND ABOUT THE CONCAVITY BY CAPILLARITY. THE MEMBER IS THEN BROUGHT INTO NONCONTACTING RELATION WITH THE ARTICLE SO THAT A PORTION OF THE ARTICLE LIES WITHIN THE FLUID-FILLED CONCAVITY. A QUANTITIY OF FLUID WITHIN THE CONCAVITY CONTACTS AND FLOWS ABOUT THE ARTICLE, COATING IT. SIMULTANEROUS COATING OF A PLURALITY OF PARAMAGNETIC-LEADED ELECTRICAL DEVICES UTILIZES MAGNETIC HOLDING OF THE DEVICES, DURING THE COATING PROCESS, AND AN APPLICATOR WITH A PLURALITY OF SPACED TEETH ARRANGED IN A COMBLIKE ARRAY.
