Spring-Loaded Wiper-Blade Squeegees
A wiper-blade squeegee unit that spring-loads the blade edges against the film riding between the blades offers several advantages over the usual fixed mounting technique. The need for critical adjustment of the blades is reduced while constant and unvarying blade pressure on the film is provided. The spring-loaded squeegee yields the high efficiency of a precisely adjusted opposed fixed-blade squeegee while reducing the need for maintenance. A simple low-cost design using non-corroding plastic construction and fiberglass-epoxy springs is described.
