Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a printing machine security on securities, especially banknotes, including a device paper feed in the form of sheets, a paper transport device and unit application of security images supported by at minus a ribbon which is brought into contact with the paper as these images are applied to locations determined paper corresponding to the impressions of securities, the application unit comprising a applicator cylinder provided with pads arranged on the periphery of the applicator cylinder in register with said determined locations, cooperating with a printing cylinder between which the paper runs, said tape being mounted between two reels of unwinding, respectively winding the ribbon, the ribbon running parallel to the paper path.
  • the ribbon moves between two cassettes according to a generator of the cylinder applicator.
  • the applicator cylinder is provided with several pairs of these cassettes to allow single-pass application multiple images to several places on a leaf.
  • the path between the two coils includes, in addition to tension guide rollers and rollers, a cylinder provided with circumferential grooves, interrupted by bridges, said ribbon passing through said grooves.
  • the leaves to be treated pass between said cylinder and pressure cylinders and the image transfer takes place every time a bridge passes on the pressure cylinder.
  • the cylinder of the applicator is heated to allow activation of the adhesive carried by the image.
  • the contact between the cylinder bridge applicator and the images should last a while, which means that the dimensions of the cylinder applicator and those of the pressure rollers must always be adapted to the size of the leaves and partially printed securities or totally on said leaves.
  • the ribbon including the images scroll continuously and synchronism with the leaves on which the images must be applied. This installation performed by the depositor gives satisfaction.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a machine similar to that described above, but free from the aforementioned disadvantages.
  • the machine according to the present invention is characterized by the fact that it is provided with a device for tape preheating upstream of the applicator cylinder to preheat the images that will be applied against the sheet of paper by simple contact of said stamps with the images against the pressure cylinder.
  • the advantage of this machine is that the preheating of the images to be applied on the sheet avoids the obligation to use rollers pressure pressing against the two longitudinal edges of the sheet to ensure good contact with the applicator cylinder and obtain the desired heating.
  • the fact that all it takes is a simple contact between the pads of the applicator cylinder and the printing cylinder to obtain the transfer of ribbon images on paper so you don't have to modify the machine when the ticket formats or leaves change, but just move them buffers both axially and peripherally to adapt to the new dimensions of the sheet and tickets to print, the ribbon with the images to apply being prepared with the spacings corresponding to the new dimensions.
  • the machine is characterized by the fact that in order to save the ribbon, it is provided with means allowing to make advance the ribbon in synchronism with the sheet passing between the applicator cylinder and the pressure, to brake the tape advance and to do it retreat a distance equal to about the length of a sheet when the sheet has left the cylinder applicator while waiting for the sheet to arrive next and register the ribbon with the next sheet.
  • the means used to obtain these results are a pair of feed rollers arranged downstream of the cylinder applicator advancing the ribbon, a pair of reversing rollers arranged upstream of the preheating to brake and reverse the tape, a device for reading register marks previously printed on the ribbon and ordering the rollers previously mentioned, as well as devices to assist the rollers during sudden changes gear changes arranged upstream of the rollers reversing, respectively downstream of the feed rollers.
  • Said devices for assisting the rollers are advantageously two negative pressure boxes in which the tape is sucked up, which creates a some slack in the movement of the ribbon which can thus be used to cushion sudden changes in speed as will be described later.
  • the ribbon is guided by a set of deflection rollers to pass at least a second times between the applicator cylinder and the pressure at a position offset in the axial direction of these cylinders, that is to say apply images on a second column of the sheet.
  • the machine comprises at least a second ribbon, which allows you to apply the images on a third column, or even a fourth if the machine is also provided with return means for pass the second ribbon a second time.
  • the second pass of the ribbon has the advantage of saving the ribbon because instead of placing the images shifted by a length of a bank note, we have the images at a distance of half a length, which means that when the ribbon passes the first time between the pressure cylinder and the applicator cylinder, these are the pictures, for example, odd that are applied on the sheet and when second pass of the ribbon, these are the even images that are applied. This therefore saves on the length of the ribbon.
  • the buffer of the applicator cylinder can also be heated to get better image adhesion on sheets and reduce any deviations from temperature between the different images.
  • the heating means are optional: hot air, or radiation, or infrared. These means can be composed of two parallel plates, one of which is heated located on the side of the adhesive, while the other has as function of reflecting the warmth of the first.
  • Figure 1 shows a schematic perspective view of a machine according to a preferred embodiment of the invention.
  • Figures 2 to 4 are a partial side view of the installation to explain the operation of the machine.
  • the machine in question (fig. 1) has two cylinders transfer 2 and 3 receiving sheets 1 partially or totally printed on which an image 7 from a ribbon 8 must be pasted.
  • the sheets 1 come by conventional means of a stock of leaves leaving a facility printing.
  • Transfer cylinders 2, 3 can advantageously be suction cylinders.
  • To the following the two transfer cylinders 2 and 3, is a pressure cylinder 4 intended to receive two sheets 1.
  • An input device 41 of the front edge in the direction of movement of the sheet 1 allows grab the sheet and drag it in the direction of displacement of the cylinder indicated by arrow F.
  • the cylinder 4 is therefore provided with two projecting parts 42, separated by two grooves 43, one of the ends is provided with means 41 for gripping the front edge from sheet 1.
  • the applicator cylinder 5 provided with rings 51 carrying buffers 51 to apply images 7 against sheet 1.
  • a cylinder 6 which is in principle a cylinder suction takes over sheet 1 after its passage between the two cylinders 4 and 5 towards a storage device. Often before storing sheets 1 on which the security images 7 have been glued, the sheets 1 pass through a device cooling to cool the adhesive.
  • the double passage of the ribbon between the cylinders printing and applicator saves the length of the ribbon because instead of arranging the images to apply to the tape at a distance which is equal to the distance of two consecutive images 7 on the sheet 1, we arrange the images over half a distance and when the first strand of the ribbon passes between the applicator and pressure cylinders, images, by example, odd numbers are applied and when passing the second strand of the ribbon, these are the even images which are applied. In this way, we save a little almost half the length of the ribbon.
  • tapes 8 and 8a used are provided with spacing between images corresponding to the format of sheet 1 and the securities la to print.
  • the ribbon is registered with the sheet 1 to which the images 7 are to be transferred.
  • the ribbon is provided in a way regular 27 marks which are read by a device 26 located after the heater 13 and before the ribbon comes into contact with the two pressure cylinders 4 and applicator 5.
  • This device 26 has not been shown on the installation shown in Figure 1 so as not to unnecessarily load the drawing. Reader 26 controls the rollers back 12 and forward 14 to position the ribbon correctly 8.
  • the heating means 13 operate so intermittent so as not to unnecessarily preheat the ribbon. We could even heat only the images which will be applied when the ribbon passes between the two aforementioned cylinders.
  • preheating 13 is stopped and the ribbon is also at a standstill, register mark 27 facing the reader 26.
  • the ribbon moves in synchronism with sheet 1 and supported images by the ribbon 8 are pushed against the sheet 1, at means of buffers 52, as can be seen in the figure 2.
  • the heating 13 is activated to heat the length of the ribbon or the ribbon images to follow.
  • the tape also by stopping the feed rollers 14 and by actuating the reversing rollers 12 assisted by the device 11 for stretching the ribbon.
  • the pressure cylinder 4 and the applicator cylinder 5 continue their rotation to come to the position of departure for the application of images 7 on the second sheet 1 located on the pressure cylinder 4, the ribbon 8 is moved back approximately a length equal to the length of a sheet, repositioned using rollers 12 and 14 under the control of the reading 26 of position 27 of the register mark. During this period, the preheating 13 is stopped.
  • the two elements to aspiration 11 and 15 are intended to aspirate a part of the length of the ribbon 8 assisting the rollers 12 and 14 and somehow creating a slack which allows, of a share, in the event of a sudden acceleration of the strip to absorb this acceleration without causing a unwanted tension in the coil and, on the other hand, during deceleration to also be able to absorb the difference in speed by sucking inside the length of strip which continues to advance under force of inertia.
  • the buffers 52 can also be heated to ensure a almost constant temperature of application of images 7 on sheet 1.
  • the size of the stamps is approximately the size of the images to be applied.
  • a setting of temperature is desirable so that the images preheated arrive at the place of application to the correct temperature. Depending on the adhesive used, and working conditions, we can not heat buffers 52 if the preheating temperature is sufficient.
  • the installation can also be used to apply not images but whole strips on the tickets and in this case instead of having buffers as shown here we have buffers which are segments ring to apply the tape directly either on the sheet from one end to the other, or only on tickets and in this case we have need several separate annular sectors.
  • the heating means 13 are composed of two parallel plates including the one located on the side of the adhesive is heated, while the other reflects the heat.
