Definitions
- the present invention relates to an improved edge dam assembly for use with an applicator for applying a coating liquid to a web of moving paper carried on a movable support, wherein the applicator is of a type having a body portion defining a chamber therein with an elongate opening thereto positionable below, adjacent to and transversely of the web, the chamber receiving coating liquid and directing the same upwardly through the opening and onto the web, and wherein said edge dam assembly is of the type comprising seal means at each end of the opening mountable in the opening below the web for sealing along side surfaces thereof with the body portion on opposite sides of the opening and for extending at upper surfaces thereof toward the web for sealing with the web.
- An edge dam assembly of the type indicated above is for example, known from US-A-4 250 211.
- Such applicators may include a chamber having an opening extending across and parallel to the web, together with a doctor blade located on a trailing side of the opening for leveling the coating and a front wall extending from a leading side of the opening toward the web. Coating liquid is supplied to the chamber, and thence through the chamber opening and between the front wall and doctor blade to the web. To seal the end spaces between the front wall and doctor blade to prevent escape of coating material laterally of the web, edge dams are provided thereat.
- the edge dams may comprise a flexible element at each end space.
- the edge dams absolutely prevent passage of any coating liquid therepast.
- coating liquid often leaks past the edge dams, with the result that the backing roll of paper web edges become contaminated with coating liquid.
- a primary object of the invention is to provide improved edge dam assemblies for paper coating applicators, which significantly decrease leakage of coating liquid therepast.
- each said seal means extends at an upper surface thereof closely adjacent to but spaced from the web for sealing therewith, each said seal means has a plurality of spaced grooves formed therein along said side and upper surfaces thereof, the interiors of said grooves are substantially at atmospheric pressure and said grooves in said upper surface extend generally along the direction of movement of the web thereat, whereby coating liquid seeping past said seal means enters and gravitates through said grooves.
- Fig. 1 there is indicated at 20 an applicator of a type with which an edge dam assembly, indicated at 22 and configured in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, is particularly adapted for use.
- the applicator applies a pigment bearing liquid coating to a moving web of paper 24 carried on a resilient backing roll 26 in a direction indicated by an arrow 28, and includes a main support or housing 30 having a coating liquid chamber 32 between a front or leading wall 34 and a rear or trailing wall 36 of the support.
- the walls extend generally transversely of and parallel to the backing roll, and taper toward an open upper end of the chamber. Coating liquid is introduced into the chamber for flowing through the opening and against the web of paper and the lower sides of the chamber are closed by side walls (not shown) extending between the front and rear walls.
- the coating applicator is positioned closely adjacent the backing roll 26 with the opening in the upper end of the chamber 32 facing the surface of the paper web 24.
- a flexible doctor blade 38 in a'slot 40 in the main support 30 forms a portion of the chamber rear wall, and is clamped in place against the edge dam assembly 22 and urged against the web by a pair of transversely extending air tubes 42 and 44.
- the doctor blade levels the coating applied to the web and forms a seal at the trailing end of the applicator to prevent escape therepast of excessive amounts of coating liquid.
- the pressure of the blade on the roll is regulated by the pressure of the air within the tube 42, the tube for this purpose resulting in an even pressure of the blade across the entire width of the paper web.
- an edge dam assembly is positioned at each side end.
- the edge dam assembly 22 is preferably of a plastics material such as nylon or polypropylene and includes a mounting and support member 46 through which extends a steel rod 48 for rigidity or stiffening of the assembly.
- a plurality of quasi- triangular seal elements 50 are at one end of the support member and spacer portions 52, of a smaller size than the seal elements, separate the elements to define peripheral grooves 54 between adjacent elements.
- the generally triangular shape of the seal elements 50 enables the edge dam assembly 22 to be mounted in the space between the doctor blade 38, the front wall 34 and the backing roll 26 toward the side of and at the opening from the chamber 32.
- the mounting member 46 has a flange 58 received within a slot 60 in the main support 30 and releasably secured therein by a knob 62 having a threaded portion passing through an opening in the main support into clamped engagement with the flange.
- each seal element 50 forms a separate seal with the paper web, and any coating liquid which seeps past a seal element moves into a groove 54, the interior of which is at substantially atmospheric pressure, before it encounters the following seal element.
- the grooves thus receive and contain coating liquid which seeps past the seal elements, the flow of which must be controlled. Then, as the backing roll rotates, coating liquid in the grooves is drawn by the paper web toward the doctor blade 38 for application onto the web, which minimizes the amount of coating liquid available for leakage past the following seal elements and ultimately beyond the edge dam assembly.
- the flow of coating liquid within the grooves is orthogonal to the direction of flow of liquid which must be controlled, so that the grooves reduce the quantity of leakage of coating liquid past the edge dam assembly to a considerably greater extent than could otherwise be accomplished with a non- grooved sealing surface.
- the configuration and size of the edge dam assembly is important relative to the position of the doctor blade 38. That is, the seal elements 50 must be of a size to substantially fill the area defined between the doctor blade, the front wall 34 and the backing roll 26 when the doctor blade is in its doctoring position. If the seal elements are too small, coating material will leak therepast, and if too large, the doctor blade will be held from its doctoring position against the paper web.
- the edge dam assembly includes a plurality of separate seal elements 102, adjacent ones of which are separated by spacers 104.
- the seal elements and spacers are interleaved and supported at an end of a mounting member 106 by a rod 108 extending through aligned passages in the elements, spacers and mounting member.
- One end of the rod is fastened to the outermost seal element, and an opposite end is threaded and provided with a knurl nut 110, which may be tightened to draw the elements, spacers and mounting member together.
- Each seal element 102 has a pair of sealing surfaces 112 and a peripheral groove 114 between the surfaces, and each spacer 104 has an open ended notch 116 extending from an upper end thereof to a medial point therein.
- the height of each seal element is such that its upper sealing surfaces 112 extend toward and adjacent to but slightly spaced from the paper web when the edge dam assembly 100 is mounted on the applicator main support 30, but the width of each is less than the spacing between the front wall 34 and the doctor blade 38 when the blade is doctoring the web.
- the seal elements do not restrict blade movement against the paper web.
- Each spacer 104 has a height equal to or less than that of the seal elements and a width greater than the distance between the front wall and doctor blade when the blade is not doctoring the paper.
- the sides of the spacers flex inwardly to enable the blade to move to its doctoring position, and at the same time form secure seals with the blade and the front wall.
- Figs. 5 and 6 show the positioning of the edge dam assembly 100 with respect to the paper web 24 when the assembly is mounted on the applicator main support 30.
- the edge dam assembly operates in the same manner as does the edge dam assembly 22 to minimize leakage of coating liquid therepast.
- the assembly is illustrated as comprising three seal elements and two spacers, more or less seal elements and spacers could be used, it being understood that since the seal elements close the notches through the spacers, formation of an efficient seal requires use of at least two seal elements.
