Abstract
A stencil assembly includes a stencil foil, having a stencil pattern thereon and of a planar configuration, with a peripheral edge, which is a captured by rigid frame. The rigid frame includes a base and a cover attached thereto. The assembly adapts a standard stencil foil for use in a stretch frame that requires an elongated groove. The assembly thereby facilitates mounting the stencil to a stretching machine during printing. Also, the stencil assembly protects a user from injury by preventing contact with the sharp outer edges of the stencil foil. Further, the assembly protects the stencil foil portion from damage and greatly facilitates handling thereof.
