    (54) A silk screen printer


    (57) The present invention relates to silk screen printer which comprises a cylindrically curved printing table adapted for the application of print onto print material; a stencil frame and stencil arranged for reciprocating movement in response to the reciprocating movement of the printing table (2); a squeegee arrangement for pressing the stencil against the printing table and therewith transfer print to print material located between the printing table and the stencil; and a gripper (8) which coacts with the printing table and which grips the leading end part (3a) of the print material(3), as seen in the direction of movement, at least during part of a printing sequence.
    The gripper (8) is pivotally mounted on the printing table (2) and extends in the direction of longitudinal, curved extension of the table, the gripper (8), in a registered position, being pressed against a stop means (13) such as to register the gripper in relation to the chassi (10) of the printer, it being possible to effect this registration while disregarding the stop position of the stencil frame and the printing table (2).
    The printer also includes a forked roller arrangement (30) which is effective in retarding movement of the gripper (8) towards a registered position and in accelerating the gripper (8) away from this position.
    It is proposed that Figure 3 is published together with abstract.
