Abstract
The invention is a take-off apparatus for removing sheets of stock from the bed of a screen printing press where the apparatus accommodates variations in the shape, position and size of the stock and includes a carriage member slidably mounted to a take-off frame which travels from a pick-up point through a drop-off point, and adjustable gripper bars mounted to the carriage member for gripping the stock at the pick-up point and for releasing the stock at the drop-off point. To accommodate variable arrangements of the forward edge, each gripper bar of the invention is adjustable on the carriage member laterally for selective positioning of the gripper bars along and longitudinally for selective positioning of the gripper bars at a forward edge of the stock.
