Abstract
A squeegee drive structure for a solder paste printing machine. The circuit board and screen are aligned in the machine. The squeegee drive structure is mounted on the machine independently of the screen to which the paste is applied. The drive structure which supports the squeegee is adapted for linear movement away from the solder paste application area and upward pivotal movement in order to provide easy access to the squeegee.
