The invention relates to a device for wetting inserting aids for the improved assignment of plate assemblies outside a complex production installation with a positioning device for the positionally accurate positioning of the wetting device on the inner walls, which are to be wetted, of the inserting aids, and also a wetting device with a supply system for the wetting agent and a cleaning device for cleaning the brush, wherein the positioning device takes the form of a linear axis system which is equipped via separate drives for the movement axes with horizontal and also vertical movement sequences, and wherein a coating brush, which is connected to a wetting agent supply system, is arranged at the end of the positioning device.

An apparatus and method for producing a coated analytic substrate using a compact and portable automated instrument located in the laboratory setting at the point of use which can consistently produce one or a plurality of coated analytic substrates “on demand” for using the analytic substrate immediately after coating, preferably without a step of rinsing the coated analytic substrate before use. The apparatus preferably uses applicator cartridges having a reservoir containing the coating compositions used to form the coatings. Preferably the cartridges are removable and interchangeable to facilitate the production of individual analytic substrates having different coatings or different coating patterns. These coated analytic substrates have superior specimen adhesion characteristics due to the improved quality of the coatings applied by the coating apparatus and due to the quickness with which the coated analytic substrates can be used in the lab after production.

The invention relates to a blade guard (1) for a wiper (100) of a vehicle (200), the blade guard (1) comprising a first part (11) and a second part (12), the first part (11) being configured to allow the blade guard (1) to be attached on the wiper (100), the second part (12) being intended to come into contact with a glazed surface (50) of the vehicle (200), characterized in that the second part (12) is configured to contain a product to be applied onto the glazed surface (50). The invention also relates to a wiper (100) comprising such a blade guard (1).

A fluid pressure-feed device includes a main tank and a sub tank. The sub tank is connected integrally with an upper portion of a main follower plate that applies pressurizing force to a urethane adhesive inside the main tank. A drum pump is provided in an upper portion of a sub follower plate provided in the sub tank. While the urethane adhesive is flowing into the sub tank from the main tank, the urethane adhesive is fed under pressure from the sub tank to a fluid passage by actuation of the drum pump. While the main tank is being replaced, the urethane adhesive inside the sub tank is fed under pressure to the fluid passage by the drum pump.

An epoxy coating can be applied to a round surface by keeping the round surface in constant motion, thus defeating the tendency of the epoxy to run off the outer surface of the round object. The process is aided by mechanical equipment that rotates the cylindrical object about its center, while also permitting adjustment of rotational speed.

A device for a lacquer transfer includes a frame, transfer roller with a circumferential lateral wall, drive unit for rotating the transfer roller, and slit nozzle with a muzzle end for dispensing lacquer. The slit nozzle includes a first nozzle-part, second nozzle-part and deformation unit. The deformation unit is attached to the first nozzle-part, the lateral wall passing in a rotation direction subsequently the deformation unit and the muzzle end during transfer unit rotation. The lateral wall of the transfer roller is deformed by the deformation unit in the radial direction resulting in a deformation section of the lateral wall in the rotation direction behind the deformation unit, the muzzle end of the slit nozzle arranged for dispensing lacquer into depressions of the lateral wall. The transfer roller can roll with the outside contact surface on a work surface of a work piece for transferring lacquer from the depressions to the work surface of the work piece.

A device for lacquer transfer is disclosed having a frame, a transfer roller with a circumferential lateral wall, and a slit nozzle for dispensing lacquer, wherein an outside contact surface of the lateral wall includes several depressions. The transfer roller is mounted rotatably about an axis of rotation to the frame, wherein the slit nozzle is arranged for dispensing lacquer into respective depressions in the lateral wall while the transfer roller is rotated about the axis of rotation, wherein the transfer roller is configured to roll with the outside contact surface on a work surface of a work piece for transferring the lacquer from the depressions to the work surface of the work piece, wherein the slit nozzle at its muzzle end includes an upper lip and a lower lip as well as a slit between the upper and lower lips for dispensing lacquer.

Devices, systems, and methods of improving paste flow during the manufacture of wind turbine blades are provided. An apparatus for applying adhesive to a composite structure (e.g. wind turbine blade) comprises a paste shoe having a top surface with an aperture to receive a supply of adhesive, and two legs extending downwardly from the top surface and configured to engage a surface of the composite structure to define an interior volume within the paste shoe. A transport mechanism (e.g. wheels, treads) are disposed on each leg to move the paste shoe relative to the composite structure while adhesive is dispensed within the interior volume. A force applicator, applies a force to the paste shoe to maintain a constant interior volume and thus a uniform bead of paste is applied to the composite structure.
