Abstract
An electric wire 1 is moved in a moving direction at a desired speed. An insulating layer of varnish is formed on the outer surface of the electric wire 1 by a device for applying the varnish. The device includes a rough-like container 2 and dropping means 8. The rough-like container 2 is located below the electric wire 1 in the moving direction. The dropping means 8 is located for the electric wire above the container. A desired quantity of varnish is dropped from the dropping means 8 toward the outer surface of the electric wire 1 through a flow rate adjusting portion. The flow rate of the varnish is adjusted by the flow rate adjusting portion 9.

A device for applying varnish to an electric wire, comprising:
- a trough-like container located below the electric wire in the prescribed moving direction so as to correspond to said electric wire;
- and
- varnish dropping means located above the electric wire so as to correspond to said electric wire and including a tank for storing the vanish, a supplying tube which is communicated with the tank and through which the varnish is supplied and a flow-rate adjusting means for adjusting the flow-rate of the varnish to be dropped,
- wherein the electric wire is movable in a prescribed moving direction at a prescribed speed, and said varnish dropping means drops a desired quantity of varnish toward the outer surface of the electric wire which is moving at the prescribed speed through the flow-rate adjusting means so that an insulating layer of varnish having a uniform thickness is formed on the outer surface of the electric wire.
A method of applying varnish on an electric wire comprising the steps of:
- moving an electric wire in a prescribed direction at a predetermined speed;
- dropping a prescribed quantity of varnish toward the electric wire, the prescribed quantity of varnish being adjusted using a nozzle;
- and
- applying the varnish onto the outer surface of the electric wire to from an insulating layer of the varnish having a uniform thickness.
