Abstract:
Apparatus for applying tracks of an adhesive substance on strip-shaped material, in particular to the back of bottom support strips that consist of strips of carpet. A guiding and transporting device transports the material in its longitudinal direction and a device for applying the adhesive substance is arranged vertically on top of an approximately horizontal area of movement of the material. A nozzle arrangement, consisting of several outlet nozzles for the adhesive substance, is distributed over the width of the material, and the number of active outlet nozzles that apply the adhesive substance may be altered so as to adapt the device to different material widths. Each outlet nozzle may be activated or deactivated individually as well as independently of the other outlet nozzles.
