9 . A device for applying clay to a surface, in particular for producing automotive design models, comprising: a housing with a connecting port for a clay supply line, and with a clay-dispensing phalange opening; a motor; and a disk that sits in a clay-tight and rotatable manner in the clay-dispensing flange opening so as to be driven by the motor, wherein the disc has a clay-dispensing opening and otherwise closes off the flange opening, and wherein the disk has an elevation on an external side.
10 . The device according to claim 9 , wherein the elevation is disposed eccentrically on the disk.
11 . The device according to claim 9 , wherein the elevation extends along a radial periphery of the disk.
12 . The device according to claim 9 , wherein the elevation, conjointly with a region of the external side or the entire external side of the disk, forms a consistent surface.
13 . The device according to claim 11 , wherein the elevation has an edge that also extends radially.
14 . The device according to claim 9 , wherein the clay-dispensing opening is at least one elongate bore that extends in a shape of a circular segment and concentrically in the disk.
15 . The device according to claim 9 , comprising a plurality of the dispensing opening distributed uniformly on a circumference about a rotation axis of the disk.
16 . The device according to claim 9 , further comprising a clay dispensing line and at least one mixer and/or impeller are/is disposed in the dispensing line so that the clay is able to pass therethrough.
