Patent ID: 8733276

Claim:
A device for application of a protective material on one edge of a part, comprising: a body ( 32 ) that is equipped with means for application of the protective material ( 26 ) on the one edge ( 12 ), means ( 28 ) for calibrating a height of the protective material ( 26 ) applied to the one edge, at least one stop ( 30 ) that positions the body ( 32 ) relative to the one edge ( 12 ), and means for calibrating side surfaces ( 18 , 18 ′) of the protective material ( 26 ) applied to the one edge comprising two smoothing plates ( 68 , 68 ′) that rest respectively against the right surface ( 14 ) and the left surface ( 14 ′) of the part adjacent to the one edge ( 12 ), at least one of the two smoothing plates ( 68 , 68 ′) being movable relative to the other smoothing plate, wherein the body ( 32 ) comprises at least one arm ( 72 , 72 ′) that supports the at least one of the two smoothing plates ( 68 , 68 ′) and that pivots relative to the body ( 32 ) around an axis of rotation ( 74 , 74 ′) to regulate the spacing between the two smoothing plates ( 68 , 68 ′), and return means ( 76 , 76 ′) for urging said at least one arm ( 72 , 72 ′) to pivot around the axis of rotation ( 74 , 74 ′) to move said at least one of the two smoothing plates ( 68 , 68 ′) closer to another of said two smoothing plates.
