  • Patent number: 6910419
    Abstract: A pallet (10) for use with a screen printing apparatus having arms (12) extending outwardly from the printing machine supports an article against a printing force supplied by the screen printing machine. A base portion (14) of the pallet (10) is attachable to the arm (12) of the printing machine and includes a support structure extending therefrom to stabilize and reduce deflection against the printing force.

  • Publication number: 20040074405
    Abstract: The present invention is to a stand (10) for supporting framed (100) screens (200) during the coating, developing and cleaning processes. The stand (100) includes one or more braces (40) supporting a top portion (30) substantially parallel to a bottom portion (20). The top portion (30) rotates relative to the bottom portion (20) to permit one to remove or insert a frame into the stand (10). The top and bottom portions (20,30) support shafts (52) that are selectively rotated by a controller assembly (60) and an actuator assembly (80). As a result, one can clean, coat or treat the front of the screen and then the back of the screen without touching, lifting or physically moving the screen. This facilitates the coating, exposing, developing and cleaning processes associated with screens used in screen printing.
