Abstract
A squeegee device is used for applying materials of varying viscosities, such as coating substances, varnishes and adhesives to an application surface. The squeegee is pressed onto the application surface by a magnetic force. A profile member houses the squeegee and is pivotably supported by a bearing. The bearing allows the squeegee and profile member to be tiltable along an axis that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the squeegee or profile member in order to insure a tilting-free and bending-free adjustment of the squeegee on the application surface.
Claims21
A squeegee apparatus for applying materials having varying viscosities to an application surface comprising at least one squeegee extending in a longitudinal direction of the apparatus, said squeegee being pressed onto the application surface by a magnetic force and having a profile member with a longitudinal axis extending in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the squeegee, and bearing means for articulating the profile member, at least one of said squeegee and said profile member being formed of magnetic material, and
- said bearing means being a pivot bearing means for pivotally supporting the profile member with respect to the squeegee apparatus such that the profile member is freely tiltable with respect to a position wherein the profile member is parallel to the application surface about at least one pivot axis that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the profile member.
