PASTE SUPPLY APPARATUS AND SCREEN PRINTING MACHINE

摘要

A paste supply apparatus includes: a pot holder which holds a paste pot including an inner lid movable in a container; an ejecting member; an elastic member provided at the ejecting member and including an annular pad portion including a taper having a diameter increasing toward downward; an annular protruding portion protruding downward from a lower surface of the ejecting member within an internal space surrounded by the pad portion; and an ejecting member lifting unit which moves the ejecting member to press down the inner lid to eject the paste. When the ejecting member presses down the inner lid, the pad portion of the elastic member is elastically deformed to extend outside and firmly contacts an upper surface of the inner lid, and the annular protruding portion abuts on the upper surface of the inner lid within the internal space.

1. A paste supply apparatus comprising:
a pot holder which holds a paste pot comprising a tubular container which stores paste and which comprises a bottom portion having a through hole and an inner lid movable in the container, such that the through hole of the paste pot faces downward; an ejecting member having a diameter smaller than an inner diameter of the container; an elastic member which is provided at the ejecting member and which comprises an annular pad portion comprising a taper having a diameter increasing toward downward; an annular protruding portion provided to protrude downward from a lower surface of the ejecting member within an internal space surrounded by the pad portion; and an ejecting member lifting unit which moves up and down the ejecting member, and which causes the ejecting member to press down the inner lid of the paste pot held by the pot holder to eject the paste from the through hole, wherein when the ejecting member presses down the inner lid, the pad portion of the elastic member is elastically deformed to extend outside and firmly contacts an upper surface of the inner lid, and the annular protruding portion abuts on the upper surface of the inner lid within the internal space of the pad portion.
