This invention describes a specialized tray, called a pallet assembly, for machines that print directly onto clothing. It features a flat plate where a garment is placed, and a hinged cover, or clamshell, that rotates to secure the garment in place for printing. The clamshell has open areas to allow the printer to access the garment, and the plate itself can be inserted into the garment and may include pins to hold the collar.
Why it matters: Since 2020, direct-to-garment printing technology has advanced significantly in speed and automation. This makes efficient and precise garment handling systems, like the claimed pallet assembly, more critical for maximizing throughput in modern printing operations.
