As will be seen from figures, the towel printing apparatus comprises a housing 70, a table 50 provided on an upper surface of the housing 70, a guide frame 54 mounted onto a front of the table 50, a conveyor 60 extended from a rear of the housing to a front thereof along the guide frame 54, a nd a heating plate 10 positioned on the table 50 and being movable up and down by vertical moving means. The heating plate 10 thermally presses a transfer paper against a towel.
The construction and operation of the towel printing apparatus according to the present invention will now be explained in detail.
The hosing 70 includes a plurality of casters 72 attached to a bottom thereof to facilitate the movement of the apparatus, and the table 50 is provided on the upper surface of the housing 70. The guid e frame 54 is horizontally mounted onto the front of the table 50. The conveyor 60 is installed in the guide frame 54 in such a manner that it is extended from the rear of the housing to the front thereof. Specifically, rollers 62 and 64 are installed on a front of the guide frame 54 and a rear of the table 50, respectively, and a belt 61 is disposed between the front and rear rollers. One portion of the rear roller 64 is engaged with a chain gear 65, and an electric motor 68 is mounted onto the rear of the housing 70. A driving shaft of the electric motor is engaged with a chain gear 69. The chain gear 69 is coupled to the chain gear 65 via a chain. Wherein, an upper portion of the belt 61 is transferred to an upper surface of the table 50. The heating plate 10 is positioned on an upper portion of the table 50 and is movable up and down by the vertical moving means. The vertical moving means includes a threaded rod 30 assembled to a stationary member 32 extended downwardly from the table 50, a lower movable plate 20' moved vertically by the rotation of the threaded rod, and an upper movable plate 20 coupled to an engaging rod fixed to an upper surface of the heating plate 10. The heating plate 10 is mounted under the upper movable plate 20. In partic ular, the stationary member 32 includes an upper plate 34 on its upper portion, a lower plate on its lower portion, and a bearing casing 48 disposed between the upper and lower plates. The treaded rod 30 is vertically installed in the bearing casing 48. A nut 38 is threadly engaged to the threaded rod 30, and the lower movable plate 20 ' with a pair of arms 22 extended from both front and rear sides is attached to the nut 38. An engaging rod 28 is installed on an end of each arm, and the upper movable pla te 20 having the same shape as that of the lower movable plate 20 ' is mounted onto the engaging rod 28 and is fixed by a bolt 24. Specifically, the lower movable plate 20 ' is vertically moved in the stationary member 32, and the upper movable plate 20 is moved along the lower movable plate on the table 50. Meanwhile, a lower end of the threaded rod 30 is protruded downward from a lower plate 36 of the stationary member, so that the lower end is coupled to a pulley 44. The pulley 44 is connected to a driving pulley of the electric motor, which is provided in the housing, via a belt.
The heating plate 10 is fixed under the upper movable plate 20, and has heating means therein. Desired resilience means is disposed between the heating plate 10 and the upper movable plate 20. The resilience means is a spring 14 located between the upper movable plate 20 and the heating plate 10, thereby resiliently pressing the towel 80 against the table. Specifically, a bolt 16 is extended from the upper movable plate 20 to the upper surface of the heating plate 10, and accommodates the coil spring 14. The operation of the towel printing apparatus of the present invention will now be explained in detail.
After the heating plate is sufficiently heated by the heating means, to wels 80 are consequently laid on the front of the conveyor 60.
