Abstract: A heat press includes a clutch and a linkage that moves the upper platen relative to the lower platen. A first link is pivotably coupled to the base and pivotably coupled to an intermediate link. The intermediate link can rotate in a first rotational direction from a first rotational position to a second rotational position. A first clutch member can be coupled to the intermediate link. A second clutch member can be mounted to the upper platen for common movement with the upper platen. When the intermediate link is in the first rotational position, the clutch can be disengaged to permit relative movement in the clamping direction between the first and second clutch members. When the intermediate link is in the second rotational position, the clutch can be engaged to inhibit relative movement between the first and second clutch members.

Abstract: A system includes a transfer press that includes upper and lower platens, and a support head that moves the upper platen between an open and closed position. The system includes a set of sensors for sensing a pressure and a temperature during operation of the transfer press. The system includes a controller that receives the pressure and the temperature, and the controller includes a transceiver communicatively connected to a network to transmit the pressure and temperature. The system includes a first hardware processor communicatively connected to the transfer press via a network, configured to receive the transmitted pressure and temperature from the controller and store in a database. The system includes a second hardware processor communicatively connected to the transfer press and to the database, the second hardware processor configured to revise a temperature and a pressure setting for the transfer press based on data from the database.

Abstract: A container is provided for collecting and filtering material. The container includes an inlet penetration through at least one surface of the container, and an outlet penetration through at least one surface of the container. The container further includes at least one filter being integral to the container such that the at least one filter is disposed of together with the container. The at least one filter is connected to the outlet. The material enters the container through the inlet, the material conveyed by a media (filtrate) is passed through the at least one filter resulting in a clean media stream (permeate), and the clean media exits the container through the outlet.

Abstract: A console (10) for a vehicle includes a body (12) having a back panel (14), the body defining at least one storage compartment (22). A support assembly (40) is secured to a back panel (14) of the body (12) and is configured for attaching the body to a seat back (38). A hinge assembly (58) is secured to the support assembly (40) and configured for enabling rotation of the body (12) from a first position against the seat back (38) to a second position aligned with a seat armrest (70).
