Patent number: 12325250Abstract: A method of operating a sublimating device includes providing heat to a cavity of the sublimating device by increasing (i) a temperature of a heater to a predetermined target temperature and (ii) a temperature of a base heater to a predetermined standby temperature. The method further includes determining a difference between the predetermined target temperature and a reduced temperature of the heater. The method also includes determining whether a workpiece is arranged in the cavity based on the difference between the predetermined target temperature and a reduced temperature.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2024Date of Patent: June 10, 2025Assignee: Cricut, IncInventors: Kristy Lynn Barney, Desmond Kavanagh, Bayden Filleul, Jerome Tobin, Mathew Bates, Peter Bevan, Norman Stevenson

Patent number: 12188605Abstract: A crafting support system is disclosed. The crafting support system is configured to receive a crafting apparatus. The crafting support system includes a proximal portion and a distal portion removably connected to the proximal portion. Each of the proximal portion and the distal portion includes a support rod and at least one support pad connected to the support rod. A first portion of the support rod of each of the proximal portion and the distal portion is axially offset from a second portion of the support rod of each of the proximal portion and the distal portion for forming a well that is sized for receiving the crafting apparatus. An assembly including the crafting support system and the crafting apparatus is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2021Date of Patent: January 7, 2025Assignee: Cricut, Inc.Inventors: Bayden Filleul, Mel Reynolds, Jerome Tobin, Norman Stevenson

Publication number: 20240075760Abstract: A crafting apparatus (10) includes a working portion (22) and a base portion (20). The working portion (22) includes a lower surface (32) and an upper surface (34). The upper surface (34) defines a working three dimensional Cartesian coordinate system (X-Y-Z). The base portion (20) includes a lower surface (24) and an upper surface (26). The lower surface (32) of the working portion (22) is disposed adjacent to the upper surface (26) of the base portion (20). The lower surface (24) defines a non-working three dimensional Cartesian coordinate system (XS-YS-ZS). The upper surface (34) of the working portion (22) extends relative to the lower surface (24) of the base portion (20) at an angle (?22) for angularly-offsetting the working three dimensional Cartesian coordinate system (X-Y-Z) from the non-working three dimensional Cartesian coordinate system (XS-YS-ZS). Methods (200, 300) are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2022Publication date: March 7, 2024Applicant: Cricut, Inc.Inventors: John Barrus CHRISTENSEN, Bryan Fred Bihlmaier, Donald Christopher Sutton, John Douglas Dalton, Ryun Bates Noble, Kyle Kenneth Johnson, Grayson Stopp, Bayden Filleul, Kurt Stalsberg, James Lynch, Norman Stevenson

Publication number: 20230354946Abstract: A heat press includes a handle portion and a curved heat plate. That handle portion may be configured to be grasped by a user, and the curved heat (i.e., having a curved engagement surface) may be configured to engage a heat-activated design implement to transfer a design of the heat-activated design implement to a curved surface of a workpiece. Also disclosed herein, according to various embodiments, is a heat press stand having a curved floor and a hat form for supporting a workpiece (e.g., a hat) during a heat-activated design transfer using the heat press. Associated methods are also disclosed herein.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2023Publication date: November 9, 2023Applicant: Cricut, Inc.Inventors: Kristy Lynn Barney, Mitchell Alan Cheever, Yung Tseng Chen, Thomas Crisp, John Douglas Dalton, Michelle Fishberg, Kelton Gubler, Desmond Kavanagh, Hayley Ketch, Tyler Lee, Ildefonso M.
