Publication number: 20240227426Abstract: A heat press may include an upper assembly comprising a heat plate, a lower assembly comprising a platen, and a base assembly interconnecting the upper assembly and the lower assembly. The base assembly may include a drive motor that is configured to drive movement of the upper assembly relative to the lower assembly. The heat press is generally configured to heat and compress, between the heat plate and the platen, a workpiece. A method for a heat press may also include a processor perform various operations, including activating a drive motor to drive an upper assembly of a heat press toward a lower assembly of the heat press to exert a compressive force on a workpiece disposed between a heat plate of the upper assembly and a platen of the lower assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2024Publication date: July 11, 2024Applicant: Cricut, Inc.Inventors: Vance Campbell, Thomas Crisp, Jeremy B. Crystal, Del Ray Doty, Francois Laine, Ryun Bates Noble, Bradley Carroll Rice, Grayson Stopp, Giacomo Michael Pasquale Strollo, Zhian Wang

Publication number: 20240059089Abstract: A heat press may include an upper assembly comprising a heat plate, a lower assembly comprising a platen, and a base assembly comprising a hinge mechanism. The upper assembly is pivotably coupled to the lower assembly via the hinge mechanism of the base assembly, according to various embodiments. The heat press may be generally configured to heat and compress, between the heat plate and the platen, a workpiece. A method for a heat press may also include a processor perform various operations, including activating a drive motor to drive an upper assembly of a heat press toward a lower assembly of the heat press to exert a compressive force on a workpiece disposed between a heat plate of the upper assembly and a platen of the lower assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2022Publication date: February 22, 2024Applicant: Cricut, Inc.Inventors: Vance Campbell, Thomas Crisp, Jeremy B. Crystal, Del Ray Doty, Francois Laine, Ryun Bates Noble, Bradley Carroll Rice, Grayson Stopp, Giacomo Michael Pasquale Strollo, Zhian Wang

Patent number: 4057592Abstract: The process of oxychlorination of ethylene to produce a product in which at least 15 molar per cent of the ethylene is transformed to 1,1,2-trichloroethane and 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane along with 1,2-dichloroethane and other more highly chlorinated saturated C.sub.2 compounds, the steps of passing a gaseous feed mixture of ethylene, hydrochloric acid and an oxygen-containing gas, with or without additional 1,2-dichloroethane, through a reaction zone at a temperature of 280.degree. to 370.degree. C, using a fluidized bed catalyst, and in which the molar feed ratios of the reactants are O.sub.2 /C.sub.2 H.sub.4 within the range of above 0.9 to 1.5, HCl/O.sub.2 within the range of 1.40 to 3.00, HCl/C.sub.2 H.sub.4 within the range of 2.20 to 3.65, and which, when 1,2-dichloroethane is present in the feed mixture, the latter is present in a molar proportion with respect to ethylene of less than 2.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 1974Date of Patent: November 8, 1977Assignee: Rhone-Poulenc IndustriesInventors: Albert Antonini, Philippe Joffre, Francois Laine
