ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for coating a strip article comprises a coating head having a coating surface and elongated open-sided slot formed in the coating surface communicating with an interior channel for delivery of coating material to said slot for transfer to a strip article to be coated. The slot has a slot extension extending into the coating surface at at least one longitudinal end of the slot for applying coating material to an edge region of the strip article. The slot extension communicates with the interior channel only through a constricted opening that prevents substantial leakage of coating material from the slot extension when the slot extension becomes uncovered by the edge region of the strip article. In this way, the strip article can be coated completely up to its transverse edges, without risk of substantial spillage of coating material if the ends of the coating slot become uncovered by the strip article due to inaccurate tracking or variable strip width.
