Wide slit nozzle for discharging a damping material in an overlapping manner with fixed dimensions

A wide slit nozzle comprising:

• a slit as a discharge opening configured to discharge a vibration damping material having a viscosity of 0.1 Pa·s/at 20° C. or more under a condition of a shear rate of 9400 s−1 by an airless coat method to dispose sheets of the vibration damping material in a parallel and overlapping manner on a surface of an object to be coated so as to mistlessly coat the surface of the object:
• wherein the slit has a width perpendicular to a coating direction of the vibration damping material and a thickness parallel to the coating direction, the thickness of the slit being smaller in dimension than the width of the slit so that the vibration damping material is disposed with fixed dimensions in two directions;
• wherein the slit has a lateral center part and a pair of lateral end parts, the lateral center part and the lateral end parts respectively having a width and a thickness configured to dispose the sheets of the vibration damping material on the object to be coated in a state in which the sheets of the vibration damping material are overlapped at adjacent lateral end parts of the vibration damping material sheets;
• wherein the thickness of the lateral center part is a fixed thickness or a thickness decreasing toward the center of the lateral center part, and the width of the lateral center part is a width within a range from 33% to 45% of an entire width of the slit;
• and
• wherein the thickness of each of the lateral end parts is a thickness decreasing linearly from a corresponding lateral end of the lateral center part to a corresponding lateral end of the slit, and the thickness at each of the lateral parts of the slit is one half of the thickness of the lateral center part of the slit.
