Patent ID: 8361554

Claim:
A bar coating method of applying a coating liquid to a continuously running web using a columnar bar which rotates by being supported by a bar receiving member, comprising steps of: checking whether the bar satisfies D*≦135×10 −6 where A is a deflection value of a difference between a maximum value and minimum value of roundness of the bar, B is a value obtained by a second-order approximation of A in a longitudinal direction of the bar, T (=A−B) is a value obtained by subtracting B from A, and D* is an average inclination which is an average of a bar width of an absolute value |dT/dX| of a differential value of T in the longitudinal direction of the bar, and coating the web with the bar which has been checked in the checking step so that the average inclination D* satisfies D*≦135 ×10 −6 .
