Claim:
An application nozzle for viscous adhesives, comprising: a nozzle housing ( 1 ) encompassing an interior ( 4 ), having an application edge ( 6 ) along which a plurality of nozzle openings ( 8 , 33 ) are arranged, and having at least one feed opening ( 5 ) located opposite from the application edge ( 6 ), wherein the interior ( 4 ) of the nozzle housing ( 1 ) widens from the feed opening ( 5 ) towards the nozzle openings ( 8 , 33 ), as seen in the direction of the application edge ( 6 ); at least one flow element ( 9 , 10 , 11 ) that has an inflow edge ( 12 ) and an outflow edge ( 13 ) and that is oriented in such a way that the flow element, while being completely surrounded by the volume flow of adhesive, uniformly distributes the volume flow of adhesive, taking into consideration the different flow paths leading from the feed opening ( 5 ) to the individual nozzle openings ( 8 , 33 ); and a sieve ( 35 ) installed in the interior ( 4 ) upstream from the nozzle openings ( 8 , 33 ) that separates granules that are present in an adhesive so that such granules only come out of the nozzle openings in an area located towards the application edge ( 6 ).
