Abstract:
A guide for leveling the flow of a coating onto a substrate of a component in a machine, the substrate being rotated about a longitudinal axis, whereby the coating is spirally applied to the substrate, said guide comprising a member operably associated with the flow of the coating and operably associated with a slide movable with a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis, said member having a first end fixedly secured to the slide, said member having a second end spaced from said first end and fixedly secured to said slide, said member resiliently cooperable with the periphery of the substrate and having a surface thereof slightly spaced from the periphery of the substrate whereby at least a portion of the flow of the coating may be positionable between the periphery of the substrate and the surface of the member so as to assist in evenly distributing the coating on the periphery of the substrate.
