Brockton, Massachusetts Patent of the Year – 2024/2025
Geo Knight & Co Inc. has been awarded the 2024/2025 Patent of the Year for transforming how heat press machines deliver consistent pressure. Their invention, detailed in U.S. Patent No. 12083786, titled ‘Pressure self-adjustment apparatus’, introduces an automatic system that adjusts pressure in real time for precision and ease of use.
This breakthrough allows heat press equipment to automatically regulate force during operation, compensating for changes in material thickness or uneven surfaces. The system uses a smart mechanism that responds to pressure fluctuations without user intervention, ensuring even application across every transfer job.
For manufacturers, artists, and print shops, the benefits are immediate. The technology reduces human error, speeds up production, and ensures quality output across different substrates. It simplifies workflows while improving consistency, especially for complex or varied materials like textiles, ceramics, and metal.
By eliminating the need for constant manual pressure adjustments, Geo Knight’s invention brings a new level of automation and reliability to the heat press industry. This innovation supports both high-volume operations and small creative studios by delivering professional results with minimal setup. The pressure self-adjustment apparatus sets a new standard in thermal printing equipment, reflecting Geo Knight & Co.’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of user-friendly, precision manufacturing tools.
