Abstract: A drying rack with multiple wire framed shelves with at least one spacer support shaft and a spacer for each wire framed shelf, wherein the spacer comprises (a) a member having a perimeter, preferably a substantially cylindrical member having a substantially circular perimeter, opposing faces, and a central longitudinal axis, (b) a slot extending inwardly or outwardly from the perimeter between the opposing faces along a line substantially parallel to the central longitudinal axis, and (c) a hole extending inwardly from one face, such that the slot is capable of receiving the wire framed shelf and the hole is capable of receiving the spacer support shaft of the wire framed shelf.

Abstract: In a screen printing press having a squeegee and flood bar mounted on a movable support carriage, a movable actuator means is provided by the present invention which includes a pivotal lever having a brake pad on its upper end to firmly engage an upper braking surface at the point of transition from the flood mode to the print mode and vice versa in response to change in direction of movement of the carriage, for securing the carriage in a fixed position while the squeegee and flood bars shift position in preparation for the print or flood stroke.

Abstract: A screen printing press is provided having essentially three distinct power trains for accomplishing the infeed, printing and removal of stock from the printing bed, which power trains are completely mechanical in operation and are interconnected to operate in a timed relation with one another.

Abstract: A multicolor printing apparatus for automatically screen printing cut piece textile goods and finished garments in diverse colors having a plurality of printing machines, each printing machine operatively positioned at a station about a turntable which is rotated by an indexer to successively present each platen on the turntable at each station. After being indexed at a particular station the turntable is locked into a registered position for the duration of the printing cycle, after which the locking bar is disengaged allowing the indexer to rotate the turntable and the platens to the next station.

Abstract: A screen printing press having a support frame, a printing frame pivotally mounted on the support frame and angularly movable relative thereto, a carriage assembly mounted on a pair of spaced support arms mounted on the printing frame, a single drive arm pivotally mounted on the support frame and connected by a drive rod to the carriage assembly to move the carriage assembly relative to a printing screen during a printing cycle, and a carriage assembly actuating means having an actuator channel mounted on spaced parallel legs for movement toward and away from a support arm in generally parallel relationship thereto, an actuating lever mounted for movement along said actuator channel having one end attached to a parallelogram mounting bracket on the carriage assembly on which a squeegee and flood bar are mounted so that upon movement of the actuator channel, the positions of the squeegee and flood bar are reversed, and a control lever pivotally and slidably mounted on the support frame and operatively connecte
