ABSTRACT:
A method of and an apparatus for providing a bubble-free coating on a fibre, more particularly on an optical fibre. A fibre to be coated is fed into a pressure chamber (61) via an inlet duct (56) with a restricted inlet opening (57) and leaves the pressure chamber (61) through an outlet opening (41) of a nozzle (40). Liquid coating material is supplied to the pressure chamber (61) at such a pressure that the coating material rises in the inlet duct (56) up to a certain level to form a convex meniscus (D). By flushing the surroundings of the inlet opening (57) with a gas having a kinematic viscosity which is lower than that of air, the drawing speed at which the applied coating is still bubble-free can be considerably increased.
