Title: Innovations by Gustav Allen Ray
Introduction
Gustav Allen Ray is a notable inventor based in Huntington Beach, CA (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of technology, holding a total of 8 patents. His work primarily focuses on innovative methods and materials that enhance printing and image transfer techniques.
Latest Patents
One of Ray's latest patents is for water-activated polymers and an adhesive image transfer technique. This invention involves an image transfer assembly that receives images printed from an inkjet printer. The assembly features a flexible substrate on one side and an upper surface that is permeable to inkjet printer ink, remaining non-tacky prior to printing. After printing with water-based ink, users can apply the assembly to a substrate, such as a window, and remove the flexible substrate, leaving the image on the surface. This technology allows for precise image transfer and has various alternative embodiments.
Another significant patent by Ray is a method for custom printing and forming three-dimensional structures. This method involves several steps, including perforating a flexible rectangular sheet to create a removable portion. Lines of weakness are formed to serve as fold lines, allowing the user to fold the two-dimensional portion into a three-dimensional structure after printing. The user can design custom printing for the structure using a computer program, which also enables a preview of the final appearance.
