Abstract
An extrusion coating head comprises an upstream side block ( ) and a downstream side block ( ) aligned in the conveying direction, and adjusting mechanism. The upstream and downstream side blocks ( ) respectively have edge surfaces ( ) on which the flexible support ( ) is pressed. The upstream and downstream side blocks ( ) define therebetween a slit ( ) through which a coating composition can be extruded and applied onto the flexible support. The adjusting mechanism adjusts a length (t) of a perpendicular line which is drawn from an upstream end (A) of the edge surface of the downstream side block to a tangential line (L) of the edge surface of the downstream side block which is drawn from a downstream end of the edge surface of the upstream side block, to thereby adjust a distribution of a coating thickness on the flexible support in the width direction.
