Method of applying viscous fluid material and apparatus therefor

Abstract

A method of applying a viscous fluid material for preventing a viscous fluid material (40) from accumulating on a contact type slot nozzle (30) when applying the viscous fluid material (40) onto an object to be applied (50) which has surface irregularities by using the contact type slot nozzle (30). The method of applying a viscous fluid material includes: moving the object (50) in a predetermined transport direction (X); bringing the nozzle (30) provided to a slot (35) into contact with the object (50) that is being moved; dispensing the viscous fluid material (40) from the slot (35) to apply the viscous fluid material (40) onto the object (50); and ejecting a heated compression gas on the downstream side of the slot (35) in the predetermined transport direction (X) to press the viscous fluid material (40) applied on the object (50) from the slot (35) against the object (50) by the ejected compression gas.
