Appeal No. 1999-1002
Application No. 08/672,493
APPENDIX
17. A method for manufacturing a polymeric printing
member for use in a printing machine, said method comprising
the steps of:
providing a generally cylindrically shaped substrate
rotating the substrate about a longitudinal axis thereof in
a substantially horizontal direction; and
applying a coating from an applicator in a stream in a
generally vertically downward direction to an outer periphery
of the substrate, said stream contacting the outer periphery
of the substrate at a position substantially above a
horizontal centerline of the substrate and contacting the
outer periphery of the substrate at a position spaced from an
uppermost location of the substrate in a direction of the
rotation of the substrate, whereby the dynamics of the
rotation of the substrate and the position of the stream on
the substrate assist in the uniform distribution of the
coating onto the substrate.
