Method and apparatus for applying printing to an at least partially conical article

摘要

In a method and apparatus for applying printing or decoration to the conical surface of an article using screen printing, the screen printing stencil performs a pivotal movement during the printing operation in a plane extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the article to be printed upon. The stencil moves on a path of movement which substantially corresponds at least over a part of its periphery to the peripheral surface of a truncated cone whose cone angle is the same as that of the conical surface.
