Abstract:
In a method for lacquering pencils by the push-through method, a respective pencil is guided through a lacquering chamber in order to apply a lacquer coat. After exiting the lacquering chamber, successive pencils butt against one another and are held against one another at their end sides such at a plurality of pencils form a stable strand which is guided, subsequent to the lacquering chamber, through a drying section, with the result that a respective pencil is held in a hovering manner on leaving the lacquering chamber. It is hereby in particular also made possible to use UV-curing lacquers, with the overall result that a very short total lacquering time for lacquering pencils, in particular cosmetic pencils, is achieved.

Claim (Index 13):
A lacquering apparatus for lacquering pencils by a push-through method, the lacquering apparatus comprising:\n a lacquering chamber; a feed unit for feeding and conveying the pencils, said feed unit is formed such that, during operation, a plurality of the pencils are conveyed in direct succession to form a strand; an abutment for the strand is formed against which the strand is pressed during operation; and a drying section formed downstream to said lacquering chamber, in said drying section a respective pencil is held in a hovering manner after leaving said lacquering chamber.
