CLEANING APPARATUS FOR PRINTING MASK, AND PRINTER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cleaning apparatus which can more surely clean the surface of a printing mask compared with a case in which the cleaning is performed by pressing a roller-shape cleaning member to the printing mask, and to provide a printer. SOLUTION: This cleaning apparatus is equipped with a cleaning sheet 620 which is spanned on a plurality of supporting rollers 602, 603 and 604, and a cleaning head 610 which presses the cleaning sheet 620 to the printing mask 2. The cleaning sheet 620 and the cleaning head 610 are moved along the rear surface of the printing mask 2 in such a manner that the cleaning sheet 620 being pressed by the cleaning head 610 may rub the rear surface of the printing mask 2. The pressing surface of the cleaning head 610 which presses the cleaning sheet 610 is bent into a projected form regarding the moving direction of the cleaning sheet 620. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
