Definitions

  • the present invention particularly relates to a method and an apparatus for making a coating on a continuously running elongated flexible support, such as a photographic material, for example, a photographic paper or the like, a photograving material, photosensitive paper, thermosensitive paper, magnetic material, etc.
  • a photographic material for example, a photographic paper or the like
  • a photograving material for example, a photograving material, photosensitive paper, thermosensitive paper, magnetic material, etc.
  • a coating method and a coating apparatus conventionally known is a device in which a flowing path of a coating solution stream is curved over the entire length thereof as shown in Fig. 1 so as to make the coating solution distribution even from a coating solution supply inlet of a solution injector to a slot outlet of the solution injector in order to avoid thick coating at coating end portions and increase in coating amount at a center portion.
  • Yuji Harazaki "Progress of Coating Technique", Extension Technology Service Center Inc., 1988, p. 359.
  • a solution injector constituted by a coating solution supply inlet, a manifold in the direction of width of the solution injector and communicated with the coating solution supply inlet, a slot communicated with the whole of the manifold in the direction of width of the solution injector and communicated with a coating solution discharge outlet
  • the working to produce such a solution injector is very difficult in view of design and work, and therefore, generally, the manifold is passed through and the opposite ends of the manifold are formed of plugs which are worked linearly.
  • the coating solution which touches the end portion of the manifold partially stays so that macromolecules in the coating solution are bridged to produce an insoluble material to cause a problem of generation of slag, streak, etc.
  • the present invention has been attained to solve the above problem and an object thereof is to provide a coating method and a coating apparatus in which a solution injector capable of maintaining good quality of coated products.
  • Fig. 1 is a front section of an example of a conventional solution injector having a curved flow path.
  • Fig. 2 is schematic front view of an embodiment of the coating apparatus according to the present invention.
  • Fig. 3(a) shows a cross section of an embodiment of the manifold according to the present invention.
  • Fig. 3(b) shows a front section of the end portion of the manifold.
  • Fig. 3(c) shows a plan section of the same.
  • Fig. 4(a) shows front sections of a conventional technique.
  • Fig. 4(b) shows the technique according to the present invention.
  • the coating method in which a coating solution is supplied from a coating solution supply inlet of a solution injector, then distributed in the width direction of the solution injector by means of a manifold, and then discharged from the solution injector through a slot having an even interval from the manifold to thereby perform coating, including slide beads coating, extrusion coating, curtain coating, etc., and other coating methods using such a solution injector.
  • the feature of the present invention is in that the slot portion is made to be linear while only the manifold portion is made to have a curved surface.
  • the manifold portion may be worked so that the solution injector is halved along the center line of the slot.
  • the manifold portion is formed as a through hole which passes left/right through the solution injector and plugs are provided at the end portions to which the coating solution touches and the inner surfaces of the plugs are finished to be curved surfaces.
  • the coating solution supply inlet of the solution injector is provided at a center portion of the solution injector and in which the coating solution supply inlet of the solution injector is provided at one end portion of the manifold, respectively.
  • the coating solution touches the opposite end portions of the manifold, while in the later case, the coating solution touches the other end portion of the manifold.
  • an end portion of the manifold to which the coating solution touches is constituted by a plug, and a front sectional shape of an inner surface of the plug has a curved surface tangentially connected to opposite ends of the slot is specifically realized as follows.
  • the present invention is effective even if the end surface of the plug is formed only of such a two-dimensional curved surface.
  • any material for example, such as metal, rubber, synthetic resin, or the like, however, it is particularly preferable to use Teflon, polyvinyl chrolide, resin, rubber, or the like.
  • the "coating solution” may include those of various solution components corresponding to usages.
  • it includes: coating solutions for a photographic emulsion layer, a under coating layer, a protection layer, a back layer, etc. in a photographic material; coating solutions for a magnetic layer, a under coating layer, a lubrication layer, a protection layer, a back layer, etc. in a magnetic recording medium; and other coating solutions for an adhesive layer, a colored layer, a rust prevention layer, etc., those coating solutions containing a soluble binder or an organic binder.
  • the coating solution was supplied from the center portion of the solution injector.
  • the manifold was filled first with the coating solution containing dyes while the coating solution was supplied at a predetermined flow rate, then the coating solution of the above solution composition containing no dyes (transparent solution) was supplied at the same flow rate, and the time taken for substitution was measured.
  • the test was carried out with respect to three kinds of the plugs provided at the opposite end portions of the manifold, one being a kind in which the inner surface of each plug is a flat surface (Comparative Example), another one being in which the inner surface of each plug has a two-dimensional curved surface, the remainder one being a kind in which the inner surface of each plug has a three-dimensional curved surface.
  • Table 1 The results were as shown in Table 1.
  • composition of the coating solution alkali gelatin + sodium dodecylsulfonate + sodium polystyrenesulfonate + dyes Table 1 2 l/M 4 l/M Example 56 min 31 min Two-dimensional Curved Surface 37.5 min 17 min Three-dimensional Curved Surface 11.8 min 6.1 min
  • h 50 mm
  • l 25 mm
  • R1 1.0 x h
  • R2 2.0 x l .
  • the coating solution water in which red/yellow/blue dyes are added (viscosity of 1 cp) was used.
  • the coating solution was supplied into the solution injector at a predetermined flow rate so that the manifold was filled with the coating solution, and then 7 weight % solution (100 cp) of sodium polystyrenesulfonate was supplied at the same flow rate. The time taken for the substitution of this solution for the coating solution was measured. The results are shown in Table 2. Table 2 2 l/M 5 l/M Comparative Example (45° taper) 12 min 5 min Example of the Invention 3.6 min 1.5 min
  • the stay of the coating solution at the end surface portion of the manifold is eliminated so that faults of slag and streak can be prevented.
