Abstract
Before the start of coating, a deflector receives a curtain of a coating liquid free-falling from a coating hopper in order to prevent a continuously-running web from being coated with the coating liquid. At the start of the coating, the deflector is moved relatively to the coating hopper, so that the coating liquid can start to be applied to the web. A receding part is formed at the end of the deflector.
