<p>APPARATUS FOR APPLYING TRANSFERS TO FABRIC An apparatus is disclosed which is particularly designed for applying transfers or appliques comprised of thermosetting inks to garments such as T-shirts and sweat shirts. The apparatus includes an upper and lower platen for applying heat and pressure. The upper platen includes heating elements and a temperature control mechanism to heat it to a particular desired temperature. The apparatus is designed so that the pressure between the two platens is uniform and of the proper magnitude. The apparatus is also designed so that when the garment and transfer have been subjected to the appropriate amount of pressure and heat for a desired amount of time, the platens automatically disengage. Upon disengaging, a timer which is included in the apparatus automatically resets itself to the originally selected time period.</p> |
