A squeegee blade holder system including a squeegee blade holder comprising a first elongated recess on a front side of the squeegee blade holder for receiving a pivoting clamp bar in communication with a squeegee blade, and a second elongated recess on the front side of the squeegee blade holder for receiving a push bar for urging the pivoting clamp bar to capture the squeegee blade between the pivoting clamp bar and the front side of the squeegee blade holder, and a locking mechanism comprising a cam lock lever for biasing the push bar against the pivoting clamp bar.
A squeegee blade holder system comprising:
- a squeegee blade holder including a front side;
- a pivoting clamp bar in communication with a squeegee blade, said pivoting clamp bar being captured by the squeegee blade holder on the front side thereof such that the pivoting clamp bar is pivotable about an elongated direction of the squeegee blade holder;
- and
- a curved push bar for urging the pivoting clamp bar to pivot to capture the squeegee blade between the pivoting clamp bar and the front side of the squeegee blade holder.
