Abstract
A method and devices for coating a carrier part make it possible to coat the carrier part formed of a less expensive material with a higher-quality and thus more-expensive material in only a defined region. As a result, novel properties attainable by the coating, such as improving hardness or resistance or varying color or appearance, finally exist only in the region where it is actually needed. Therefore, the coating material is fed in through one or more associated feeding devices, below a distributor head, in a preliminary tube that is already provided with the carrier material, in one or more angular regions relative to the horizontal axis of the preliminary tube. At least one distributor element that has adjustable segments is disposed below the rotatably disposed distributor head. The segments are provided with profiled sections for providing different wall thicknesses.
