  • Patent number: 6098538
    Abstract: The several screen frames of a multistation screen printing machine, such as a carousel screen printer, having multiple work supports movable to the printer stations in succession to effect successive printing of screen images on work pieces fixed to the supports are precisely registered with the work supports by providing each frame with registration features precisely located relative to the screen image on the frame, providing a selected work support with registration features precisely located relative to the printing position of a work piece on the selected support, effecting movement of the selected work support to the print stations in succession, adjusting the corresponding screen frame to directly align its registration features with the registration features on the selected work support, and securing the frame in fixed position.

  • Patent number: 5806422
    Abstract: The several screen frames of a multistation screen printing machine, such as a carousel screen printer, having multiple work supports movable to the printer stations in succession to effect successive printing of screen images on work pieces fixed to the supports are precisely registered with the work supports by providing each frame with two and preferably three registration points precisely located relative to the screen image on the frame, providing a selected work support with the same number of registration points precisely located relative to the position of a work piece on the selected support, effecting movement of the selected work support to the print stations in succession, adjusting the corresponding screen frame to directly align its registration points with the registration points on the selected work support, and securing the frame in fixed position relative to its respective print station while the frame and work support are firmly held in fixed position by registration pins extending between
