ABSTRACT:
A squeegee assembly including an outer pair of longitudinal plate brackets secured about a squeegee holder for retaining and positioning a squeegee blade. The squeegee holder secures the squeegee blade and is connected to positioning shafts at each end of the outer brackets. The positioning shafts may be rotated to adjust the position of the squeegee holder and blade, which retains the printing edge of the blade at the desired distance from a slotted opening in the outer brackets. The squeegee holder may consist of one or two longitudinal bars and includes a longitudinal flange which is positioned in a longitudinal groove in the squeegee blade to ensure the proper retention of the squeegee blade. The outer brackets are secured at the top end and include a longitudinal groove for connecting the squeegee assembly to the carriage of the screen printing apparatus. Rotating the positioning shafts positions the squeegee blade which extends from the squeegee holder through a slotted opening in the bottom of the outer brackets. A pair of locking bolts are used to lock the squeegee holder in the desired position and to align the squeegee blade.
