Abstract

An apparatus for applying a treatment fluid, such as dye, onto an advancing web of material has a run-off surface sloping down toward the web that extends above and over the width of the web. The dye flows onto the web from the lower edge of the run-off surface. The dye is applied onto an upper zone of the run-off surface from individual nozzles, which are a constituent part of nozzle combs that are pivotable about a transverse axis between a first position disposed above the run-off surface and a second position over a run-off gutter.
