Abstract: An apparatus for decorating includes a kiln provided with a heating chamber for receiving the objects and a carriage for transferring the objects from a more distant position from the chamber to a position nearer to the chamber. The carriage includes a resting arrangement for restingly receiving the objects and configured to serve as a bottom of the heating chamber in the nearer position.

Abstract: Apparatus for decorating objects including a heating device for heating an object wrapped in a transferring support bearing a sublimable image and a conveying device for conveying the object into, and removing the object from, the heating device, the conveying device being mainly movable in a substantially vertical direction. The conveying device is provided with a supporting element such as to convey one object at a time to the heating device via inlet and outlet openings on the same side of the heating device.

Abstract: A decorating apparatus comprises an advancing arrangement for advancing an elongated element in an advancing direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the elongated element and a plurality of decorating devices positioned downstream one another along the advancing arrangement for decorating distinct surfaces of said elongated element, each decorating device comprising a decorating unit for decorating a respective surface of the elongated element, the decorating unit comprising: a transferring device for transferring a flowable material on the elongated element, including a transferring roller rotatable around a rotation axis and arranged for interacting with the elongated element, the transferring roller being made of deformable material so that non-flat surfaces can be decorated; a kiln arrangement arranged downstream of the transferring device for heating said flowable material applied to said elongated element.

Abstract: An apparatus for decorating objects through sublimation comprises a kiln for heating the objects, a carousel comprising a plurality of arms having a supporting arrangement for supporting the objects, each object being associated with a transferring sheet provided with a sublimable decoration and further comprises a sucking arrangement for sucking air between the transferring sheet and the object.

Abstract: Apparatus and a process for the continuous cycle decoration of profiled bars for shutters and frames, or other similar objects, with a carrier film of plastic material, printed with the desired decoration with sublimable inks. The process provides for a significant number of profiled bars or decorated steel sheets to be produced per unit of time.
