ABSTRACT:
The subject invention provides an improvement in split gas-wipe apparatus, which, although not limited thereto, is normally used in coating or cleaning applications on wire, rod, or strand. The conventional apparatus has two segments hinged along an outer edge parallel to the passline of the wire or rod. The segments have mateable half-conical guides on their entry side which, when contacted by joints in the workpieces, cause rotation of one segment, the other normally being fixed, so that the joints have sufficient space to automatically pass through. The improvement of this invention involves providing pivoted mounting means replacing the hinged joint, the mounting providing an axis of rotation for one of the segments in a plane normal to the passline and substantially spaced therefrom. Advantageously, much larger joints may pass through the apparatus. Furthermore, better guiding is achieved since the guide of the rotated segment remains centered in a plane through the passline and center of the guide of the fixed segment. Thus, the workpieces do not become dislodged from the guides when the segment is rotated, as tends to happen in the conventional apparatus when the joints are more than several times larger than the workpiece cross section.
