Abstract
The invention is related to a continuous coating apparatus for applying molten metal on a metal sheet or tape. The apparatus has an annular cylinder having an open lower section extending to a substantially closed upper section. An axle is mounted in the lower section normal to the cylinder axis, and a spool is mounted on the axle. A pair of tubes are mounted parallel to the cylinder axis inside the cylinder on oppositely facing surfaces so that a tape extending around the spool towards the upper section extends through the tubes.
