Rotary screen-printing device for printing a substrate, includes at least one printing station for a removable stencil, a printing-medium feed and a squeegee, substrate-conveying means for guiding a substrate past the printing station, first and second stencil-bearing means for supporting opposite ends of the stencil, and first and second support means for supporting opposite ends parts of the squeegee. The second support means includes a moveable support member which can move between a position in which it supports the squeegee and a position in which it does not support the squeegee. The first support means being designed in such a manner that it is able to hold the squeegee in a floating position if the support member of the second support means is in the non-supporting position. The first support means includes a support member and a delimiting member. The support member of the first support means forms a free resting point for supporting the squeegee, and the delimiting member forms a free stop point for delimiting the squeegee upwardly. The delimiting member is intended to act on the squeegee further towards the outside than the support member of the first support means.

Rotary screen-printing device with support means for a squeegee

A magnet bar for exerting an attracting force on a doctor, which is arranged above the magnet bar, of a screen-printing or coating device comprises an elongate top plate and an elongate magnet carrier which extends below and substantially parallel to the top plate and on which permanent magnets are arranged next to one another in the longitudinal direction. The distance between the magnet carrier and the top plate can be adjusted by means of a displaceable adjustment member, which is arranged below the magnet carrier, in order to adjust the magnitude of the attracting force. The magnet carrier is supported freely on the adjustment member and the weight of the magnet carrier with magnets or the sum of the weight of the magnet carrier with magnets and the force of at least one spring acting upon the magnet carrier in downward direction is greater than the maximum attracting force which can be exerted by the magnets on a doctor which is arranged above the magnet bar.
