  • Patent number: 4982659
    Abstract: A fabric printing implement has a U-shaped, flexible support which carries at the ends of the "U" a printing head and an anvil. The printing head is formed of a recessed printing surface, and the anvil is formed of a tapered surface. The combination of the tapered surface of the anvil and the recess of the printing head operates such that the cloth or fabric being imprinted is stretched to remove wrinkles and present a flat surface so that the printing can be clear and legible. The arms of the "U" are formed of such size that cloth can be gathered between the arms to present almost any desired location on the cloth for imprinting between the anvil and the printing head.
