The at least one power component acts upon the power transfer device through at least one spring arrangement.
Claims14
An apparatus for at least one of leveling and metering a layer of coating medium on a surface of a substrate, said substrate being one of a traveling fiber material web and a transfer element, the transfer element being configured for transferring the coating medium to a traveling fiber material web, said substrate having a width, said apparatus comprising:
- an element configured for at least one of leveling and metering the coating medium;
- at least one power component configured for positioning said element against the substrate surface;
- a power transfer device interconnecting said element and said at least one power component, said power transfer device being configured for transferring power from said at least one power component to said element;
- and
- a spring arrangement interconnecting said at least one power component and said power transfer device, said spring arrangement being configured for transferring power from said at least one power component to said power transfer device, said spring arrangement being comprised of at least one spring element, each said spring element having a first end and a second end, said first end thereof being connected to one said power component and said second end thereof being connected to said power transfer device.
