Abstract
The present invention is a device which is inserted into a two roll coating apparatus. The device includes two elongated bars with an arcuate surface running the length of the application roller and spaced therefrom. The bars are attached to the cross pieces on each end and fill in the area between the end of the roll and the end of the open hopper. The device eliminates turbulent eddies that occur in an open mouth hopper and thereby reduces coating defects.
