Abstract
In a dip coating apparatus including a jig having a function of generating a stream of air flowing downward toward the surface of a coating liquid stored in a bath, and causing the jig to hold a base to be coated and dip it in the coating liquid, the bath includes a lid having an opening whose inside diameter is equal to or greater than the inside diameter of the opening of the bath. The apparatus is capable of forming a uniform film free from roughness on the surface of a desired base, e.g., a photoconductive element for electrophotography.
