Silk screen work stations and clamp mechanism assemblies for the precise positioning and support of the work pieces

摘要

A silk screen work station and clamp mechanism assembly for the precise positioning and support of a work piece comprising a cabinet which has an upper planar work surface with a centrally disposed working area and a pair of compartments below the work area and with cabinet drawers and storage space. The central working area also has a rectangular opening formed therein. The opening has lateral and longitudinal edges. A work plate in a rectangular configuration corresponds to the rectangular opening in the work surface, but slightly smaller lengthwise and width-wise for precise positioning within the opening during operation and use. A pair of spaced parallel lead screws are secured to the under side of the work surface on opposite sides of the opening through bearing members. The bearing members are secured to the under side of the work surface. A single lead screw extends transversely with respect to the pair of lead screws and is secured by bearing members to the under side of the work surface adjacent to the opening. A pair of threaded bearing members are secured to the under surface of the work plate. Each is threadably secured to one of the longitudinal lead screws for movement thereof and the work plate in the longitudinal direction. A pair of threaded bearing members are secured to the under surface of the work plate and threadedly secured along the transverse lead screw at spaced locations for the transverse movement of the work plate.
