Definitions
- the present invention relates to methods of and apparatus for applying or coating fluid materials, including but not restricted to hot melt type liquids and adhesives of a wide variety of viscosities, to surfaces (hereinafter generically referred to as webs), being more particularly directed to such coating with the aid of novel porous roll surfaces and the like.
- An object of the present invention is to employ the features of this discovery to provide, accordingly, a novel method of and apparatus for fluid application that enables such and other improved operation through the use of porous roll fluid-metering coating.
- a further object is to provide such a new and improved coating applicator that enables, also, simultaneous pattern coatings and stripes of different fluid coat weights; continuous, pattern and stripe simultaneous coatings of dissimilar fluid coating materials; and successive and superimposed fluid coatings.
- the invention embraces a method of coating a web with fluid material, that comprises, pumping such fluid material with one of continuous and intermittent metered flow along a predetermined longitudinal path, exiting the same at a region transverse thereto, receiving the transversely exited fluid in a reservoir volume extending along and enveloping said path, exiting the fluid from said reservoir volume through a porous surface co-extensive with and bounding said reservoir volume, relatively rotating the said porous surface and the said region of fluid exiting from said path, and applying the fluid longitudinally exited through the porous surface to said web while moving the web transversely past the same to coat the web with the fluid as metered through the pores of the porous surface.
- the invention contemplates fluid coating apparatus having, in combination, means for continuously or intermittently pumping the coating fluid along a longitudinally extending conduit terminating in an opening adjusted for transversely exiting the fluid, a cylindrical annular reservoir volume enveloping the conduit and its opening for receiving the exited fluid, a cylindrical porous shell externally bounding the cylindrical reservoir to constitute a fluid dispensing roll, means for relatively rotating the conduit and its fluid exiting opening and the roll to cylindrically distribute the exited fluid along the reservoir volume, and means for rotating said roll and applying the fluid dispensed through the porous shell to web means drawn transversely past the roll.
- Preferred and best mode embodiments and modifications are hereinafter detailed.
- Figs. 1A and B of which are isometric (exploded) and transverse sectional views of a novel porous roll applicator designed for use in accordance with the present invention
- a preferred porous roll applicator construction for continuously or intermittently pumping the coating fluid from a single supply port at a rotary joint union 2 along a longitudinally extending conduit 2 ⁇ terminating in a transversely radially extending opening 2 ⁇ within a cylindrical inner supply conduit 4 -- the inlet 2 ⁇ extending preferably axially along the roll 4 and the opening 2 ⁇ exiting fluid transversely therefrom.
- a coaxial cylindrical annular reservoir cavity or volume 6 envelops the inner roll conduit 4 and receives the exited fluid at 2 ⁇ .
- the reservoir volume 4 is coaxially externally bounded by a cylindrical porous shell 8, as of sintered metal, screening or the like, as later more fully described, with the conduit 4 and its fluid exiting opening 2 ⁇ being relatively rotatable to distribute the fluid within and along the reservoir to keep the same filled and applying fluid uniformly longitudinally along the porous shell 8.
- the porous shell may, for example, be of uniform sintered metal construction, say 20 micron pores, as in Fig. 3A, or may employ multiple varying or different porosity (and weight) shells as in Fig.
- the differential micron construction will reduce the pressure drop for high viscosity materials such as 10,000-30,000 cps at room temperature, when metered through the porous metal shell.
- the outer surface of the porous shell roll 8 may be varied not only in degree of porosity, but also in surface preparation or extent, as at 8 ⁇ in Fig. 1A, to introduce predetermined patterns in the coating, such as the repeat coating horizontal stripes or longitudinal side stripes and intermittent horizontal stripes of Fig. 4A.
- the patterns may be metered into the surface of the roll by special etching after the surface pores have been machined closed.
- porous sintered metal cylinders have heretofore been used for the very different applications of air film as bearing rolls, wicks and filter cartridges and the like
- suitable sintered stainless steel, Monel and similar porosities of 10, 20 or 40 microns in shell thickness of the order of 3/8 inch have been successfully employed for this very different usage as a viscous fluid metering coating roll.
- Such are the Series 1400 of Mott Metallurgical Corporation of Farmington, Connecticut. This unique usage is more clearly delineated in Figs. 5A and 5B, showing the porous apparatus roll 8 used for transfer and direct coating to moving webs, respectively.
- Fig. 5A and 5B showing the porous apparatus roll 8 used for transfer and direct coating to moving webs, respectively.
- the porous roll 8 is rotated in contact with a rubber-coated steel mandrel or similar applicating roll 10 that transfers the coating fluid from the porous dispensing roll 8 to the web (so-labelled) as it moves between the roll 10 and the lower laminating roll 12, rotating oppositely to the roll 10.
- the laminating roll insures positive web contact against the applicating roll for fluid transfer.
- the porous roll 8 rotates oppositely to the transfer or applicating roll 10 and preferably either with the same surface speed thereof or synchronously therewith, or proportional thereto (including fractional speed).
- the applicating roll operates at web speed or at a slightly less speed to create a smeared surface. Typical speed can be as low as 95% of web speed. In Fig.
- the porous roll 8 itself directly contacts the web as the same moves between the roll 8 and an oppositely rotating lower laminating roll 12 which insures positive contact of the web with the porous roll.
- the porous roll 8 runs synchronous to the web speed for pattern print coating; or at a slightly less speed for full width coating or continuous stripes (longitudinal in web direction) to create a smeared surface.
- the systems of Figs. 5A and 5B permit full, or continuous, stripe and pattern coatings in single weight coats.
- FIG. 6 A more complete system for that schematically shown in Figs. 5A is shown in Fig. 6 applied to the illustrative example of hot melt adhesives as of the types described in said patents or other well-known coatings of this type, fed from a hopper 1 through a filter 3 to a positive displacement metering pump 5 (such as that of said patents) to supply fluid at 7 to a three-way valve 9 (as, for example, of the type described in my U.S. Patent 4,565,217) that supplies the rotary union inlet 2 of the porous roll system 8.
- a return feed back to the filter input is shown at 11.
- the metering pump 5 is controlled by a digital pump drive 13 which is connected to a web reference magnetic pick up sensor 15 contacting the web to synchronize the pump speed with the web speed. Examples of full or continuous coatings and continuous longitudinal stripe and intermittent horizontal stripe patterns are shown in Figs. 7A and 7B.
- Multiple width porous roll applicators may also be provided as shown in Fig. 2, illustrating multiple inlet supply ports and rotary union 2, multiple width successive inner supply rolls 4, with successive section separators 4 ⁇ between adjacent rolls separating the respective successivelysive reservoir cavities and porous roll shell sections.
- Fig. 4B illustrates typical exemplary multiple width repeat coating patterns.
- a second porous roll 8 ⁇ (pattern #2 or different coating weight or material, for example) simultaneously contacts the opposite side of the applicator roll 10.
- the porous rolls 8 and 8 ⁇ can run synchronously with or at fractional differential speed to the applicating roll 10 which, in turn, may, if desired, run at a fractional differential speed to that of the web.
- FIG. 8 A complete system for such different material or differential operation is shown in Fig. 8, wherein the second porous roll 8 ⁇ is shown fed from a second positive displacement metering pump 5 ⁇ , feeding at 7 ⁇ a second 3-way valve 9 ⁇ for inputting the second porous roll assembly 8 ⁇ , and with a return line 11 ⁇ to the input of the filter 3.
- the pump 5 feeding the porous roll 8 is shown as a dual discharge metering pump with supply lines 7 and 7A.
- Fig. 9 illustrates an exemplary pattern coating of intermittent differential weight stripe (supply line 7 ⁇ -- say, 2 mol coating) and continuous longitudinal side stripes (supply lines 7 and 7A -- say, 1 mil coating).
- the porous roll applicating technique of the invention is useful with room-temperature liquids and with hot melt type liquids, at operating temperatures of 350°F, and fluid coating applications of other temperature ranges. This can be accomplished by installing heating elements within the porous roll assembly, or using the porous metal material 8 as an electrical conductor/resistor, receiving heating current. Typical material used for resistance heat would be Nichrome metal.
- Hot melt pattern coatings are required, for example, in the cigarette industry.
- the attachment of the filter covering paper, known as tipping paper, joining the filter element to the cigarette requires parameter/ rectangular adhesive pattern with the center area open, without adhesive.
- Present cigarette making machines are operating up to 7,000 cigarettes per minute, which represents the drying limita tion of conventional polyvinyl resin adhesive. Any further increase in line speed prevents successive adhesive attachment and drying of the cigarette components.
- Hot melt coating used with the present invention in place of the resin adhesive permits a further increase in production speed.
- the hot melt will be applied at a low coating thickness, such as 1 mil, in order to obtain satisfactory bond of the cigarette components.
- the invention is particularly useful with room temperature materials such as silicones, polyvinyl acetates and other adhesive coatings, and with hot melts such as the etholene vinyl package sealing materials.
