Abstract:
1. Squeegee unit for a rotary screen-printing device, comprising a squeegee with a squeegee edge which is designed, during operation of a rotary screen-printing device in which the squeegee unit is mounted, to be pressed against the inner side of a cylindrical screen of the rotary screen-printing device, and a squeegee holder to which the squeegee is fastened, it being possible for the squeegee edge to be moved away from the squeegee holder and towards the squeegee holder, and a resilient element being arranged between the squeegee edge and the squeegee holder, in such a manner that the squeegee edge is pressed away from the squeegee holder by spring force, said squeegee unit further being provided with a stop which is designed in such a manner that the squeegee can only move over a relatively short distance from the working position in the direction away from the squeegee holder till the squeegee abuts against the stop.
