Abstract
A new and improved stencil-sheet holder includes a frame adapted to define a central open area over which a stencil-sheet is mounted so that the major part of its surface is suspended in air with sufficient tension to prevent the formation of wrinkles in the stencil-sheet. A novel support structure adjustable in the longitudinal direction is provided so that different size stencil-sheets can be readily accommodated in the apparatus. Removable support pins make it possible to support different styles of stencil-sheets.
Claims8
A stencil-sheet holder assembly comprising, a rigid frame having peripheral leg members that define a central open area, said peripheral leg members including two rigid non-flexible longitudinally extending parallel leg members, clamping means located near one end of said frame for securing one end of a stencil-sheet to said one end of the frame, a cross-bar support means movably mounted to the other end of the frame and having means for securing the stencil-sheet thereto, means for longitudinally adjusting the position of the cross-bar support means, and spring tensioning means secured to the cross-bar support means and the position adjusting means so as to urge the cross-bar support means in the direction of said other end of the frame thereby to support a stencil-sheet under tension over the central open area of the frame.
