SQUEEGEE DEVICE

摘要

Squeegee device for applying printing medium to a substrate (1), interacting with a squeegee element (5) which is made at least partially from a magnetizable material and can be moved between an operating position and an at-rest position, which squeegee device comprises a support frame (12) for delimiting an operating space, inside which the operating position of the squeegee element (5) is located, and magnetic means (15) which are provided on the support frame (12) for generating a magnetic field at the location of a designated bearing-wall part (20) of the support frame (12) in order to pull the squeegee element (5) onto the bearing-wall part (20) in the at-rest position, in which device switching means (14) are provided, which interact with the magnetic means (15) in order to apply the magnetic field at the location of the bearing-wall part (20) in a switched-on position and to substantially eliminate the magnetic field at the location of the bearing-wall part (20) in a switched-off position.
