Definitions

  • apparatus for applying one or more substances to a substrate in a plurality o ⁇ spaced discrete deposits, characterized by means for guiding relative movement of the substrate and a plurality of applicators of such a substance to follow a predetermined path and means for defining a plurality of indexed relative positions of the substrate and applicators along that path and at which at least one applicator is operated to apply the substance to the substrate, individual applicators being disposed relative to the respective indexed positions such that the spacing between adjacent deposits can be less than the spacing between adjacent applicators, longitudinally and/or transversely of the path.

Abstract

Un appareil permettant de réaliser des dépôts rapprochés discrets sur une lame porte-objet comprend un support (9) maintenant plusieurs lames, ainsi qu'un porteur (3), animé d'un mouvement alternatif vertical, et maintenant plusieurs applicateurs, par exemple des becs de stylos de cartographie, auxquels on peut faire toucher les lames en abaissant le porteur. Afin de pouvoir procéder aux dépôts avec un espacement plus petit que celui des applicateurs, on déplace le support (9) latéralement sous le porteur entre plusieurs positions indexées le long d'un chemin, ledit porteur étant abaissé pour procéder à des dépôts lorsque le support (9) se trouve à chacune des positions indexées. On décale la position des applicateurs se trouvant dans le porteur (3), selon des ampleurs différentes par rapport à la position indexée de sorte que l'on procède aux dépôts en différentes positions sur la lame.
