To enable an intermittent coating by forming at least a groove part on the peripheral side surface of a coating roll and removing a coating material in the groove part before coming into contact with a base material to be coated by a removing means to form a continuous non-coated part in the running direction of the base material to be coated.

A slurry-like coating material 15 is sprayed on the rotating coating roll 10 from a nozzle part 16. At this time, the coating material 15a in the groove part 19 is stripped off to be recovered to a tray part because projecting parts 21, 22 of a doctor bar 18 are engaged with the groove parts 19, 20 of the coating roll 10. As a result, the continuous non-coating material part is formed in the rotating direction of the coating roll 10 to form a non- coated part 23b is formed on the base material 12 to be coated. And, in such a case, the coating material layer is controlled by a control roll 11 and the excess coating material 15 stuck on the control roll 11 is stripped off by a doctor blade 17 and the stripped coating material 15b is recovered similarly in the tray part.
