Abstract

A multiple screen printing apparatus includes a fixed shaft extending upwardly from a base, and a lower rotatable shaft secured concentrically about a lower portion of the fixed shaft. A plurality of platen supporting assemblies extend radially outwardly from the lower rotatable shaft and are spaced at equal angles thereabout. An upper rotatable shaft is secured concentrically about an upper portion of the fixed shaft, and a disc-like table is secured thereto for rotation therewith. A spindle shaft extends upwardly from the top end of the fixed shaft, and a plurality of screen support arm assemblies extend radially outwardly therefrom for independent rotation thereabout. Each of the screen support arm assemblies includes an arm mounting bracket resting on the rotatable table, and clamping means secures the bracket to the table in an angularly adjustable fashion. Each of the platen supporting assemblies includes an alignment gate for engaging a screen in the printing position and angularly aligning the screen precisely with the respective platen.
