Abstract
An apparatus for bead coating a substrate with an organic solvent-based coating solution by the use of a slide hopper is disclosed, which is useful for preventing deflection of the members due to changes in temperature stemming from evaporation of the organic solvent and for maintaining a narrowed gap between the lip of the hopper and the substrate with high precision, in which the slide hopper is composed of a raw material with a coefficient of linear expansion of 3.times.10.sup.-6 or less, or composed of an alloy comprising 9.0% to 10.5% by weight of chromium, 52.5% to 56.0% by weight of cobalt and the remainder consisting of iron and other inevitable impurities.
