A combination nozzle and a device for applying a viscous material, particularly an adhesive, to a component edge includes two wide-slot nozzles lying close to one another. The first nozzle applies the viscous material and the second nozzle supplies a gas such as air for shaping the applied material bead. A nozzle mount has a guide roller placed on and movable about the edge of the component during application. A connector element via a connecting mechanism allows movement of the nozzle mount parallel to the surface normal on the component edge to press the guide roller against the edge during the application process by a spring mechanism. With the proposed combination nozzle and the proposed device, an optimal wetting of the component edge with the viscous material can be achieved, and additionally the component tolerances are compensated without the necessity of an elaborate sensor system.

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.

The invention relates to an apparatus for the coating of a substrate, in particular of a circuit board, with a material application device for applying a coating material and with a gas supplying device for the supply of a gaseous medium, the material application device having an inner tubular element, the gas supply device having an outer tubular element which is arranged coaxially to the inner tubular element and surrounds the latter, so as to form between the outer and the inner tubular element a gas supply duct which has an annular orifice at one end, the supply duct being configured so that the gaseous medium flows out, parallel to the coating material, through the annular orifice, in order, when it impinges on the substrate, to displace the applied coating material and thereby distribute it over the area. The apparatus is distinguished in that the material application device has a jet valve which, in a first operating mode, carries out a jetted supply of material into the inner tubular element.
