Title:
DEVICE AND METHOD FOR APPLYING PATTERNS AND/OR LABELS TO A SUBSTANTIALLY FLAT SURFACE OF AN ARTICLE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003061986
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The use of monolayer or multilayer stencils for applying patterns is known. Many users, however, find it already difficult to align a monolayer stencil relative to a surface on which a pattern is to be applied by means of the stencil. Multilayer stencils that have to be used successively in time are even more difficult to align when a stencil used later on has to be aligned relative to the pattern produced with the first stencil. The invention therefore relates to a device that comprises at least one stencil and one stencil holder (10). Said stencil holder is provided, relative to the stencil holder, with means (16, 18) for fixing a predetermined position of the at least one stencil relative to the stencil holder and with means (20) for fixing a predetermined position of the surface to which a pattern and/or a label is to be applied by means of the stencil.
