Claims
- 1. An extrusion-type coating head comprising:
- a rear block defining a back edge;
- a front block defining a doctor edge; and
- an intermediate block disposed between said rear and front blocks, a first slit being defined between said rear block and said intermediate block for accommodating a flow of a first coating solution, a second slit being defined between said front block and said intermediate block for accommodating a flow of a second coating solution, a slot being formed between an end portion of said intermediate block and an outlet of said head, wherein said end portion is rounded with a radius of curvature of no more than 1 mm.
- 2. The extrusion-type coating head as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least said end portion of said intermediate block is formed of a material having a Rockwell scale A hardness of at least 80.
- 3. The extrusion-type coating head as claimed in claim 2, wherein said material having a Rockwell scale A hardness of at least 80 is selected from the group consisting of carbon steel, nitride steel, cement steel, cemented carbide, and ceramics.
- 4. The extrusion-type coating head as claimed in claim 1, wherein said end portion has a flat end face having a width of less than 1 mm.
- 5. The extrusion-type coating head as claimed in claim 1, wherein said end portion has a flat end face having a width of less than 0.5 mm.
- 6. The extrusion-type coating head as claimed in claim 1, wherein said end portion is formed by tapered sides that are further tapered near the tip to form a taper angle of at least 25.degree..
- 7. The extrusion-type coating head as claimed in claim 1, wherein said end portion is tapered to form a taper angle of at least 50.degree..
- 8. The extrusion-type coating head as claimed in claim 1, wherein a distance from a top of said end portion to a line joining tops of said doctor and back edges is in a range of 0.01 to 20 mm.
- 9. The extrusion-type coating head as claimed in claim 1, wherein a distance from a top of said end portion to a line joining tops of said doctor and back edges is in a range of 0.01 to 5 mm.
- 10. The extrusion-type coating head as claimed in claim 1, wherein a distance from a top of said end portion to a line joining tops of said doctor and back edges is in a range of 0.01 to 1 mm.
- 11. The extrusion-type coating head as claimed in claim 1, wherein widths of said slits providing for the flow of each of said coating solutions at positions prior to said coating solutions meeting and a width of said outlet providing for a multi-layer flow produced after said coating solutions meet are each in a range of 0.03 mm to 3 mm.
- 12. The extrusion-type coating head as claimed in claim 11, wherein a ratio of flow rates between flows of each of said coating solutions is in a range of 1:1 to 5:1.
- 13. An extrusion-type coating head comprising:
- a rear block defining a back edge;
- a front block defining a doctor edge; and an intermediate block disposed between said rear and front blocks, a first slit being defined between said rear block and said intermediate block for accommodating a flow of a first coating solution, a second slit being defined between said front block and said intermediate block for accommodating a flow of a second coating solution, a slot being formed between an end portion of said intermediate block and an outlet of said head, wherein said end portion is rounded with a radius of curvature of no more than 0.5 mm.
