Abstract
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.
