Abstract
A device and system for dynamically applying liquid to a single thread for a thread consuming device as said thread moves relative to the device along a path of movement. The device is configured to apply liquid to said thread by means of an electrospraying unit. A method for applying liquid to a single thread for a thread consuming device as said thread moves relative to the device along a path of movement is also provided.

43. A device for applying liquid to a single thread as said thread moves relative to the device along a path of movement, wherein said device is configured to apply liquid to said thread by means of an electrospraying unit comprising:
-
at least one emitter for discharging liquid through a respective discharge nozzle towards the thread in a discharge direction, such that a respective discharge zone is formed, thread guiding means configured to guide the thread through each respective discharge zone, liquid supplier for supplying liquid to said at least one emitter, and voltage supply means, configured to provide an electric potential between the at least one emitter and a counter electrode means, said emitter and said counter electrode means being configured, such that an electric field created between each respective emitter and the counter electrode means discharges liquid into said discharge zone. - View Dependent Claims (44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 63)
