Abstract
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.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a press having a lower platen and an upper platen, the press movable between a pressing position where the lower and upper platens are horizontally aligned and a loading position where the lower and upper platens are horizontally displaced from each other;
- and
- a projection assembly having a projector supported above the lower platen, the projector is configured, when the press is in the loading position, to project an image toward an upper surface of the lower platen,
- wherein the image is configured to align at least one of a garment to the lower platen or a heat transfer to the garment disposed over the lower platen.

A system comprising:
- a press having a lower platen and an upper platen movable between a pressing position over the lower platen and a loading position horizontally displaced from the lower platen;
- and
- a projection assembly having a projector supported above the lower platen,
- wherein when the upper platen is in the loading position, the projector is configured to project an image toward an upper surface of the lower platen,
- wherein the image is selected to match a reference characteristic of a garment loaded on the lower platen or a heat transfer to be applied to the garment, and
- wherein the image is located to coincide with a desired position of at least one of the garment on the lower platen or the heat transfer on the garment.

A system comprising:
- a press having a lower platen configured to interface with an upper platen;
- a projection assembly having a projector supported above the lower platen,
- wherein the projector is configured to project an image toward an upper surface of the lower platen for aligning at least one of a garment to the lower platen or a heat transfer to the garment;
- and
- a controller communicatively connected to the projector and configured to access the image from a database having a plurality of images.
