Abstract

A device for carrying a substrate, for example a drinking cup, and clamping against the substrate, for example against an outer wall of the drinking cup, a clamping sheet, wherein the clamping sheet comprises a flexible and bendable material with a width and a length, said length being measured between longitudinal ends of the clamping sheet, wherein coupling members are provided at longitudinal ends of the clamping sheet, said coupling members comprising rods protruding in the width direction of the clamping sheet. The device is characterized in that the device comprises first recesses for receiving rods of a first width side that are positioned at opposite longitudinal ends of the clamping sheet and comprises second recesses for receiving rods of a second width side that are positioned at opposite longitudinal ends of the clamping sheet, and the device comprises a support member for carrying the device and the substrate.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and a device for clampingly holding against a substrate (8), for example a drinking cup, a heat transfer sheet (5) using a clamping sheet (2), the method comprising the steps of: - providing a device (1) with a substrate holder (10) for clampingly holding the substrate (8); - providing a clamping sheet (2) with a width and a length, said length being measured between longitudinal ends of the clamping sheet (2), and wherein at the longitudinal ends of the clamping sheet (2) coupling means (3) are provided, - positioning in catch means (4) of a positioning device the coupling means (3) for keeping the clamping sheet (2) in a first position; especially wherein the method further comprises the steps of: - positioning on the clamping sheet (2) a heat transfer sheet (5) wherein a layer comprising a transferrable ink is to be directed towards the substrate (8); - positioning against each other the substrate (8) and the heat transfer sheet (5); - moving along the substrate the coupling means (3) and at least partially extending the clamping sheet (2); and - moving towards each other the coupling means (3) that are provided at respective ends of.the clamping sheet (2) for clamping the heat transfer sheet (5) in a second position against the substrate (8) wherein the clamping sheet (2) has a substantially maximum extension.
