Abstract
A coating applicator that applies a coating or liquid to a variety of different substrates having different contoured surfaces is disclosed. A coating applicator of the present disclosure is able to reach, contact, and cover the entirety of a contoured substrate. In this manner, the coating applicator is able to transfer a coating to the entirety of the contoured substrate. Additionally, fluid application systems of the present disclosure include systems for advantageously providing a fluid to a fluid applicator.
Claims32
A fluid application system for applying a fluid to a substrate, comprising:
- a carrier;
- a fluid applicator for applying the fluid to the substrate, the fluid applicator removably attachable to the carrier, the fluid applicator comprising a body having a first portion and a second portion, the first portion having a first contoured surface and the second portion having a second contoured surface different than the first contoured surface;
- and
- a fluid dispensing portion for applying the fluid to the fluid applicator, the fluid dispensing portion removably attachable to the carrier, the fluid dispensing portion having a first section including a plurality of first section apertures and a second section including a plurality of second section apertures, wherein the first section apertures apply the fluid to the first portion of the fluid applicator, wherein the second section apertures apply the fluid to the second portion of the fluid applicator, wherein the first section apertures are spaced a first distance apart, wherein the second section apertures are spaced a second distance apart, and wherein the second distance is less than the first distance.

A fluid application system for applying a fluid to a substrate, comprising:
- a carrier;
- a fluid applicator for applying the fluid to the substrate, the fluid applicator removably attachable to the carrier, the fluid applicator comprising a body;
- and
- a fluid dispensing portion for applying the fluid to the fluid applicator, the fluid dispensing portion removably attachable to the carrier, the fluid dispensing portion having a plurality of apertures, wherein the plurality of apertures apply the fluid to the fluid applicator, and wherein the plurality of apertures are spaced apart different distances from each other;
- and
- a mixing portion removably attachable to the carrier, wherein the mixing portion receives a first part of the fluid and a second part of the fluid and mixes the first part and the second part theretogether.

A fluid application system for applying a fluid to a substrate, comprising:
- a carrier;
- a fluid applicator for applying the fluid to the substrate, the fluid applicator removably attachable to the carrier, the fluid applicator comprising a body;
- a first mixing portion removably attachable to the carrier and having a first mixing tip, wherein the first mixing portion receives a first part of the fluid and a second part of the fluid and mixes the first part and the second part theretogether to create a first mixed fluid, wherein the first mixing tip applies the first mixed fluid to the fluid applicator;
- and
- a second mixing portion removably attachable to the carrier and having a second mixing tip, wherein the second mixing portion receives the first part of the fluid and the second part of the fluid and mixes the first part and the second part theretogether to create a second mixed fluid, wherein the second mixing tip applies the second mixed fluid to the fluid applicator.
