Patent number: 6789473Abstract: A quick release pallet for a screen printing machine in which the pallet has locating recesses at either ends which locate the pallet on the pallet arm of the screen printing machine by engaging locating lugs on the pallet arm. A toggle clip secures the pallet in position. The advantages are that the pallet has no attachments and can be very quickly positioned and released. Because there are no screw holes in the top surface of the pallet it has a larger print area. The pallet can be modified to a vacuum pallet with a perforated or porous top plate and a vacuum manifold connected to the base plate and air spaces being provided by machined channels in the base plate or a mesh interposed between the base plate and the top plate.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2002Date of Patent: September 14, 2004Assignee: Reefdale Proprietary LimitedInventor: Otto R.

Patent number: 6257137Abstract: A method of operating a screen printing machine of the type where a number of garments supported on pallets sequentially move past a series of printing stations. In order to allow a sufficient delay between each print application the garments pass around the stations several times and in each lap only some of the colors are printed. The sequence is controlled by tracking the first garment and by activating counters at each active print head as the first garment arrives. The program allows for one process to complete while another commences and thus provides improved productivity.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2000Date of Patent: July 10, 2001Assignee: Reefdale Proprietary LimitedInventor: Edward Witte

Patent number: 6065399Abstract: A screen off contact arrangement in which a rectangular screen holding frame [11] is adapted to secure the screen [13] on its two side rails [17,18]. Four off contact devices at the corners of the frame [11] allow adjustment of the off contact distance between the screen and the pallet. A scaled knob [33] enables incremental movement of the shaft [29] to move it relative to the fixed front and rear rails [15,16]. Each shaft [29] is secured to the ends of the side rails [17,18] so that incremental movement of the knob [33] results in movement of the screen [13]. The advantage is a simple repeatable manual adjustment.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 1998Date of Patent: May 23, 2000Assignee: Reefdale Proprietary LimitedInventor: Otto Richard Eppinger
