Definitions

  • This invention relates to a heat transfer press that allows decorations to be applied on fabrics for example by using a transfer paper, by adding a fabric or vinyl, and/or by embossing.
  • the prior art includes multi-head industrial embroidery machines (with various embroidery heads) and single-head embroidery machines (specific multi-head embropidery machines which only comprise a single embroidery head).
  • a multi-head industrial embroidery machine simultaneously embroiders fabrics (the term "fabric” is used hereinafter to refer to clothes, fabrics and, in general, all materials likely to be embroidered) that are individually disposed at each of the embroidery heads incorporated into the machine.
  • fabric the term “fabric” is used hereinafter to refer to clothes, fabrics and, in general, all materials likely to be embroidered
  • the functioning of multi- head industrial embroidery machines is highly optimized in order to ensure that the output per time unit is as high as possible, while also ensuring that the quality of the resulting embroidery is as high as possible.
  • Each embroidery head in industrial embroidery machines usually presents a reception or loading area installed on the pantograph (a movement element common to all the embroidery heads) and provided with a quick holder to facilitate the loading and unloading of the fabrics, which are previously positioned on respective frames that hold them perimetrally and tighten them.
  • the positioning of the fabrics on the frames is conducted by hand, normally on a support table.
  • the type of frame that is used depends on the size of the embroidery to be performed, the characteristics of the fabric and the type of embroidery machine, and for this reason there are many different types of frames.
  • each embroidery head has one or more needles that collect thread from a series of thread reels and, with a movement synchronized with the pantograph, perform the embroidery on the fabric in accordance with a design pre-programmed by a software file stored in the machine.
  • transfer techniques are also other fabric decoration techniques that are performed by a machine provided with two platens or flat surfaces, wherein at least one of said platens is heatable, so that in the process of performing said techniques the platens are pressed together, flattening the fabric that is positioned between them and applying a decoration onto the fabric.
  • transfer techniques are the transfer of a transfer paper, the direct transfer of vinyls and flocks, and embossing.
  • the machines that perform these transfer techniques are common on the market and are known as “heat transfer presses” or “heat seal presses”. A single press, fitted with various tools, can perform all the aforementioned transfer techniques.
  • the transfer technique using a transfer paper involves positioning a piece of paper (called a "transfer paper") on the fabric, being the transfer paper provided with a decorative image printed with heat-sensitive ink that is to be transferred onto the fabric.
  • a transfer paper a piece of paper
  • the transfer paper can be printied using various techniques such as digital printing, silk-screen printing, laser printing, ink-jet printing and printing with sublimation inks.
  • the direct transfer of vinyls and flocks basically involves sticking a material (usually vinyl) directly onto the fabric, as a result of the pressure and temperature applied by the platens.
  • the material is cut beforehand into the required shape and has had a thermal adhesive applied to it.
  • embossing which can be performed together with the transfer-paper technique or not, basically involves inserting the fabric between the platens of a metallic mould provided with an emboss or relief and then applying a pressure and temperature so that a permanent three-dimensional emboss is formed on the fabric in contact with said relief.
  • One such limitation is the impossibility of obtaining sufficient concordance between the embroidered pattern and the stamped design that the embroidered pattern is stitched upon. This limitation has several causes.
  • the fabric is transferred beforehand in a heat transfer press and then positioned on the embroidery frame (this is usually done on a support table by hand).
  • Embroidery machines have a manual centring system (or point "0" in relation to the frame) which is controlled by a keyboard that slowly moves the "0" point in X and Y. This keyboard is used by the machine operator before beginning to embroider, to try to adjust the concordance of the embroidery over the stamped decoration.
  • This process provides a relative concordance quality in single-head embroidery machines, although even here a misalignment occurs when positioning the fabric on the frame (caused by tightening and/or angular deviation).
  • Silk-screening is another fabric decoration technique, completely different to stamping, which involves applying an ink or paint on the fabric and including a screen acting as a mesh so that the paint, forced by a scraper that is moved along the screen, passes through said screen only in certain areas. This process is conducted color by color, and the paint of one color must be dried before applying the next color.
  • the invention WO-2004058415-A1 refers to a method and apparatus that enable the application on a fabric of a decorative element that combines a silk-screen design followed by an embroidered design, without releasing the fabric from a common frame.
  • the apparatus that the invention relates to is a specific frame that can be separated into different parts so that a series of parts assembled together are suitable for a silk-screening machine, while another series of parts assembled together are suitable for an embroidery machine.
  • the present invention aims to provide the necessary means and methods to enable the creation of decorative elements on fabrics by means of a stamping process followed by an embroidery process or vice versa.
  • Said means and methods make it easier to perform the combined stamping and embroidery process (already known in an unproductive form and with diffused designs, as has already been explained) in industrial volumes and production times, and with an increase in quality and aesthetic possibilities as it enables a perfect concordance of the embroidered ends with the stamped design.
  • a fabric initially positioned in the frame receives the transfer and then the embroidery or vice versa without shifts appearing between the stamped design and the embroidery.
  • the fabric can be transported from one machine to another simply and quickly, thereby reducing the total manufacturing time of the stamping and the embroidery.
  • the present invention does not require a frame of a particular design but, rather, proposes a design of a heat transfer press adapted to the conventional frames of embroidery machines. This results in lower costs and reduced complexity in executing the combined embroidery and stamping process.
  • the invention defines a heat transfer press, adapted in general terms to stamp on fabrics positioned on conventional embroidery frames.
  • textile transfer machines/presses There are various construction forms of textile transfer machines/presses. The detailed description of the invention given below focuses on a construction type known as a "press with a frontally-extractable second platen", although the invention is equally applicable to other construction forms such as machines/presses with several movable lateral platens, machines/presses with angular aperture of the top platen, machines/presses with an oscillating top platen and other variations all with platens capable of being closed upon themselves.
  • the presses are designed with quick-change platens so they can be adapted with their various platen shapes to the different frames and needs that may be required of them in everyday embroidery.
  • the combined stamping and embroidery technique that can be performed industrially by the inventive heat transfer press and a conventional embroidery machine allows the opening up of a new range of fabric decoration design possibilities, reducing existing drawbacks. It enables the quality manufacture of this textile decoration combination very quickly and flexibly. It also enables two completely new processes in the industry: one is embroidery performed on an embossed fabric, and the other is stamping with sublimation inks on a design embroidered entirely with white polyester thread. Both processes are impossible to perform without the positioning precision afforded by the inventive machine. It also significantly reduces the amount of ends in the embroidery as it replaces certain embroidery areas with astamping, cutting production times in the process.
