Abstract
The invention relates to a device for transferring a print design under action of heat from a carrier band (20) onto an object (24), in which the carrier band (20) is transported from a tape dispensing roll (1) past a scanning arrangement (5) and a preheating arrangement (6) by a drive roller (9) driven by a band drive motor (10) through a transfer zone to a band take-up reel (12). The object, in each case, to be provided with the print design is conveyed by a transport device (18) provided with holding members, a surface of the object receiving the print design as it passes into the transfer zone. The particular print design is transferred under pressure and heat from the moved carrier band (20) onto the moving surface of the object (24). For the simplification of the construction and of the manner of operation of such a device, the band drive motor (10) for the drive roller (9) of the carrier band (20) is constructed as a step motor, where the synchronization of the band drive motor (10) with a transport drive motor (15) bringing about the movement of the surface of the object (24) is accomplished electrically by a pacer (16) allocated to the transport drive motor (15).
