Abstract
In a trickling apparatus (1) for producing thin vertical surfaces of a pressure-sensitive trickling material that floats downwards, the trickling material is received in a supply container (2) having an electrically driven roller (5) located underneath or in the supply container. The roller (5) has a smooth surface (8) and cams (9) on said surface that pick up and release the trickling material. When the roller or the tube (5) rotates, the material trickles into the open through the opening (4) in the base of the supply container (2).
Claims4
Trickling apparatus for pressure-sensitive trickling material, which is intended for producing, as a visual effect, thin vertical, curtain-like surfaces of material that floats downwards, and which has a supply container (2) for the trickling material, an elongate slit-shaped opening (4) formed on the lower end of the supply container (2) for releasing the trickling material, a roller (5) that is located underneath or above the slit-shaped opening (4), is driven by a motor, is rotatable about a rotational axis and has substantially a smooth and sealed roller surface (8) on which a plurality of small cams (9) or rods (14) are arranged that protrude from the roller surface (8).
