Abstract
An applicator for direct or indirect application of a liquid or pasty coating medium onto a traveling material web, notably of paper or cardboard, includes at least one open-jet nozzle from which the coating medium issues in an open jet extending through the ambient atmosphere. The applicator also includes at least one traveling countersurface disposed opposite the open-jet nozzle and to be acted upon by the open jet. At least one jet-splitting system is arranged in the open jet in an area contained between the exit of the open-jet nozzle and the countersurface. The jet-splitting system divides the open jet into at least one diversion jet and at least one coating jet which flows on the countersurface.
