A transfer press for applying a transfer to a garment includes an upper platen, a lower platen, a support head adapted to move the upper platen between an open position and a closed position, to apply heat to at least one of the upper platen and the lower platen to apply a transfer to a garment positioned on the lower platen, and a support arm assembly. The projection assembly is attached to the support arm assembly and extends above the lower platen, the projection assembly having a projector positioned to project an image to the lower platen, the image selected to match in size with the transfer to be applied to the garment, to guide a user where to place the transfer onto the garment.

Heat transfer press projection alignment system and method

A projection assembly for a transfer press includes a projector configured to project a projected image toward a lower platen of a heat transfer press, and an adjustment block for adjusting both a rotational position and a lateral position of the projector with respect to the lower platen.

A support assembly for a heat transfer printer and cutter may include a first leg, a second leg pivotably connected to the first leg, a first support member pivotably connected to the first leg, and a second support member pivotably connected to the second leg. The first support member and the second support member may be releasably connectable. The support assembly may be adjustable to a use position and to a storage position via rotating the first leg and the second leg relative to one another, rotating the first support member relative to the first leg, and rotating the second support member relative to the second leg.

Support assembly for heat transfer printer and cutter

A heat press includes a lower platen and an upper swing arm attached to a base, and an upper platen having a heater therein. The upper platen is coupled to the upper swing arm via a piston rod, and operable via a linkage. The linkage includes a coupler linked between the upper swing arm and a print handle and includes an input link that rotationally couples the print handle to the piston rod such that a motion of the print handle moves the piston rod up or down. The heat press includes a control housing that is electrically coupled to the heater. The upper swing arm is operable to swing the upper platen away from the lower platen when not in contact with the lower platen. The control housing remains in a stationary position regardless of a position of the upper swing arm.

Low profile heat transfer press

A lower mandrel for a cap logo applicator includes a structure having a curved surface and a first end and a second end, an extension extending from the first end to the second end, and a first pad positioned on an upper surface of the structure. The first pad extends radially beyond both the first end and the second end and below a lower surface of the structure.

Cap logo applicator

A cap logo applicator, and method of fabricating, includes a first mandrel having a front and a back, the first mandrel having a curved, non-cylindrical surface, and a relief space in the back such that when a cap is positioned on the first mandrel, a front of the cap is in contact with the non-cylindrical surface and a top of the cap extends over the relief space, and a second mandrel opposing the first mandrel and configured to apply pressure to the first mandrel. At least one of the first mandrel and the second mandrel includes a heater.

Handle controller for a heat press

A press can include an upper platen, a lower platen, a support arm, and an adjuster. The support arm can be adapted to move the upper platen substantially parallel to the lower paten between an open position and a closed position. The adjuster can have a cam adapted to engage a surface of the support arm and to rotate between a first rotational position and a second rotational position relative to the support arm. Rotation of the cam from the first rotational position to the second rotational position can move the upper platen toward the lower platen.

Dual pressure clam press

A heat press includes a clutch and a linkage that moves the upper platen relative to the lower platen from a first position to a second position. The distance between the upper and lower platen is less in the second position than in the first position. The clutch is coupled to the linkage and mounted to the upper platen. The clutch is configured to adjust the distance between the upper and lower platens in the second position in response to movement of the upper platen from the first position to the second position being impeded by a work piece positioned between the lower platen and the upper platen.

Upper platen for heat press

Upper platen of a heat press

A heat press includes a clutch and a linkage that moves the upper platen relative to the lower platen. A first link is pivotably coupled to the base and pivotably coupled to an intermediate link. The intermediate link can rotate in a first rotational direction from a first rotational position to a second rotational position. A first clutch member can be coupled to the intermediate link. A second clutch member can be mounted to the upper platen for common movement with the upper platen. When the intermediate link is in the first rotational position, the clutch can be disengaged to permit relative movement in the clamping direction between the first and second clutch members. When the intermediate link is in the second rotational position, the clutch can be engaged to inhibit relative movement between the first and second clutch members.

A press includes an upper platen assembly having a first heating element, a lower platen assembly disposed beneath the upper platen assembly, the lower platen assembly having a second heating element, and a support head adapted to move the upper platen assembly between an open position and a closed position with respect to the lower platen assembly. The press further includes at least one heater controller operatively coupled to the first heating element and to the second heating element, and configured to separately apply power to the first heating element and to the second heating element.
