| (54) | A silk screen printer |
| (57) The invention relates to a silkscreen printer having a cylindrically curved printing
table intended for applying print to print material. The printer further comprises
a stencil which is stretched in a stencil frame arranged for reciprocating movement
in response to reciprocating of the printing table (2), and also a squeegee device
which is intended to press the stencil against the printing table and therewith transfer
print onto print material located between the printing table and the stencil. The
printer further comprises a gripper (8) which co-acts with the printing table (2)
and which is intended to grip firmly the forward end portion (3a) of the print material
(3), as seen in the direction of movement, during at least a part of the printing
sequence. The gripper (8) is mounted in the printing table (2) for pivotal movement in the direction of the longitudinal curved extension of the printing table. When occupying a registered position the gripper (8) is pressed against a stop means (13) by means of a spring device (16) such as to register the gripper in relation to the printer chassis (10), this registration being effected without taking into account the stop position of the stencil frame and printing table (2). It is suggested that Figure 3 is published together with the abstract. |
