Abstract: An apparatus for printing a viscous material onto a surface of a board through the medium of a screen having openings therein. The apparatus comprises a viscous material dispenser (S) of the type having a box-like housing (A) in which a chamber (5) for containing the material and a slit-like bottom aperture (3) communicating therewith are provided. A pair of blades (2A, 2B) depend from the housing (A) on opposite sides of the bottom aperture (3). A rear wall (8) of the housing (A) comprises a fixed upper wall section (8A) and a lower flap wall section (8B) swingably and slidably connected thereto and depending therefrom. The lower flap wall section (8B) defines the rear side of the bottom aperture (3). One of said blades which serves as a squeegee blade is fixed to the flap wall section.
