The present invention is for coating a surface area of a gap in the coating of a pipeline, said surface area having a length along the central longitudinal axis of the pipeline and a width of at least part of the circumference of the pipeline. The device according to the invention comprises: a frame; a spray nozzle support element supporting a number of spray nozzles; a linear motion mechanism configured for translating the spray nozzle support element relative to the frame and parallel to a longitudinal axis of the frame; and support members configured for arranging the frame stationary relative to the pipeline with said longitudinal axis of said frame coinciding with the central longitudinal axis of the pipeline.

The present invention concerns a device (1) for applying adhesive to cores for a log comprising moving means (3) configured to cause at least one core (5) to advance along a feed direction (A) and dispensing means (7) configured for dispensing an amount of adhesive (9) on said core (5).

According to the invention such dispensing means (7) are moveable along an application direction (B) substantially orthogonal to the feed direction (A) and are configured to selectively dispense said amount of adhesive (9) along portions (11) of the core (5) during movement along said application direction (B).

A nozzle assembly may be used to apply fluid to an advancing substrate. The nozzle assembly includes a nozzle body made from a first material. The nozzle body may include one or more abrasion resistant materials fused to the nozzle body. The nozzle body may be configured to deposit a fluid, using a shim plate, onto the advancing substrate. As the substrate advances past the nozzle assembly, the substrate and/or the fluid may contact the nozzle assembly resulting in wear. The one or more abrasion resistant materials, which is different than the first material of the nozzle body, may be fused to a portion of the nozzle body to reduce the wear and prolong the life of the nozzle body. Thus, the portion of the nozzle body having the abrasion resistant material is restored rather than having to replace the entire nozzle body.

A pipe conditioning tool comprising a drive unit to move the tool along a pipe and a work head rotatable about an axis of the pipe to condition a surface of the pipe, the drive unit includes a frame extending to opposite sides of the pipe, the frame having legs extending radially beyond the work head to provide support for the tool upon removal from said pipe.

A die with alignment mechanism includes a die including a through-hole through which a traveling wire travels, a bearing member for rotationally moving the die in a circumferential direction of the traveling wire, and a movable member that moves the die so that a central axis of the through-hole is aligned with a travel direction of the traveling wire without inhibiting the rotational movement of the die produced by the bearing member when the travel direction changes in a direction orthogonal to the travel direction.

An aerial cable treatment system having a cable surface preparation assembly and a coating assembly. The cable treatment system is translatable along an in-situ aerial cable. The cable surface preparation assembly can remove dirt and debris, such as carbon deposit, grease, mud, fertilizers, bird droppings, fungal growth, mosses, soot, ice, and like from aerial cables with varying sizes as it translates along the cable. The coating assembly can apply a coating to the outer surface of the in-situ aerial cable it translates along the cable.

A method of contact coating at least one elastic strand with an adhesive is disclosed. A first strand has a periphery with an upper surface. The first strand is moved in a machine direction relative to a contact nozzle, the adhesive is discharged from the contact nozzle into contact with the upper surface of the first strand, and pressurized air is discharged at the adhesive on the first strand to cause the adhesive to spread around the periphery of the first strand without blowing adhesive off the first strand.

A contact nozzle for coating an elastic strand with an adhesive. Air is discharged at the adhesive in contact with the strand, causing the adhesive to spread around the periphery of the strand. The air assists with release of the adhesive from the nozzle and also cleans the nozzle to discourage adhesive build-up on the nozzle.

The invention relates to an apparatus for the two-sided coating of at least one running flat material web (10),

with a first and a second coating nozzle (2, 3), wherein the first coating nozzle (2) is providable to the first side of the flat material web (10) and the second coating nozzle (3) is providable to the second side of the flat material web (10), in order to coat the respective side of the flat material web (10), and wherein at least one, preferably both, coating nozzles (2, 3) are transferable from a working position into a maintenance position (A, W) and back, as well as

with supply line sections (4, 8) with throughflow channels (4a, 8a) that are embodied therein and that are connected with one another in the working position (A) and that ensure a throughflow for supplying a hot, liquid coating material to the respective coating nozzle (2, 3), wherein, during the transferring of at least one of the said coating nozzles (2, 30) from the working position into the maintenance position (A, W), a first rigid supply line section and a second rigid supply line section (4, 8), which in the working position (A) enable a throughflow of the coating material to the coating nozzle (2, 3), are automatically moved relative to one another in such a manner so that the throughflow channels (4a, 8a) embodied in them are moved relative to one another in order to interrupt the throughflow of the coating material to this coating nozzle (2, 3).
