The Mug Sling is used to apply heat transferable decals to containers or other similar articles having a handle, such as mugs or cups.
-
- The sling will be utilized in high temperatures for sublimation printing.
- The materials used to form the sling 10 must be resistant to repeated exposure of temperatures up to 400°F.
- The sling should be formed of metallic materials, particularly those useable in repeated exposure to elevated temperatures, such as steel (stainless steel). Metallic tubing may be used in places to assist in heat dissipation.
A Sling for Supporting Mugs During Sublimation Printing!
A sling is provided to support mugs during sublimation printing. The sling includes an elongated base having opposing first and second ends with first and second stanchions mounted to the first and second ends of the base, respectively. First and second arms extend between and are pivotally mounted to the first and second stanchions. At least one silicone wrap is secured to the first and second arms to be suspended therebetween.
The first and second arms are movable between an open state, where the first and second arms are spaced a first distance to allow a mug to pass therebetween into resting engagement with at least one silicone wrap, and a closed state, where the first and second arms are spaced a second distance less than the first distance.
Advantageously, the sling of the subject invention provides a fixture for supporting one or more mugs for sublimation printing for use in an oven without the need for individually mounting silicone wraps.
