Abstract

The sheet (3) carrying a matrix array of imprints partially surrounds a rotating cylinder (4). A marker (2) is fixed to the moving member of a linear motor (1) and directed at the passing sheet. The imprints are checked by a detector (5) which verifies that any defect has been marked recognisably for purposes of subsequent processing. The marking is started by a signal to the motor to bring the marker to bear upon the sheet, and terminated by a signal for its retraction.

Description

L'invention concerne un appareil pour invalider des impressions imprimées sur des supports d'impression en mouvement comprenant au moins un dispositif de marquage pour marquer des impressions de valeur reconnues comme défectueuses par un système de contrôle de qualité d'impression qui commande ce dispositif lors du passage d'une impression défectueuse.The invention relates to an apparatus for invalidating prints printed on moving print media, comprising at least one marking device for marking valuable prints recognized as defective by a print quality control system which controls this device during the passage of a defective print.

Un dispositif d'invalidation constitué d'un dispositif d'impression d'invalidation est connu du document EP-B-0167 196 du demandeur dans le cadre d'un procédé de traitement de bandes ou de feuilles de papiers-valeur pour en faire des liasses. Selon ce procédé, les supports d'impression munis d'impressions de valeur, se présentant sous forme de bandes ou de feuilles, dont les impressions sont arrangées en rangées transversales et en rangées longitudinales de manière à former une matrice, sont tout d'abord inspectés afin de reconnaître des impressions défectueuses. Les impressions identifiées comme défectueuses sont munies d'une marque lisible par un détecteur. Pour leur traitement, les supports d'impression passent devant un appareil de lecture présentant, pour le contrôle de toutes les rangées longitudinales, autant de détecteurs qu'il y a de rangées longitudinales. Ces détecteurs lisent les marques sur les impressions défectueuses et introduisent leur position dans un calculateur où ces positions d'impressions défectueuses sont enregistrées. Les supports d'impression parviennent ensuite dans le dispositif d'impression d'invalidation qui est commandé par ce calculateur et imprime une impression d'invalidation sur toutes les impressions défectueuses.An invalidation device consisting of an invalidation printing device is known from document EP-B-0167 196 of the applicant within the framework of a process for processing strips or sheets of security paper to make them bundles. According to this method, the printing supports provided with valuable prints, in the form of strips or sheets, the prints of which are arranged in transverse rows and in longitudinal rows so as to form a matrix, are first of all inspected to recognize defective prints. The prints identified as defective have a mark readable by a detector. For their processing, the print media pass in front of a reading device having, for the control of all the longitudinal rows, as many detectors as there are longitudinal rows. These detectors read the marks on the defective prints and enter their position in a computer where these positions of defective prints are recorded. The print media then arrive in the invalidation printing device which is controlled by this computer and prints an invalidation impression on all the defective prints.

Ensuite, les supports d'impression traversent une machine à numéroter dans laquelle seules les impressions irréprochables sont numérotées dans l'ordre. Les supports d'impression sont ensuite découpés en papiers-valeur et les impressions défectueuses identifiées par l'impression d'invalidation sont éliminées en tant que maculature, tandis que les papiers-valeur irréprochables sont réunis en liasses avec une séquence complète de numéros. La construction détaillée de ce dispositif d'impression de marque d'invalidation n'est pas décrite dans le document EP-B-0167 196.Then the print media pass through a numbering machine in which only flawless prints are numbered in order. The printing supports are then cut into value papers and the defective prints identified by the invalidation impression are eliminated as smudges, while the impeccable value papers are gathered in bundles with a complete sequence of numbers. The detailed construction of this invalidation mark printing device is not described in document EP-B-0167 196.

Du document EP-B-0 440 576 du demandeur, on connaît un dispositif d'invalidation composé d'un réservoir d'encre en forme de cuve et d'une roue centrifugeuse en rotation permanente positionnée dans un support au dessus de la cuve sur un axe horizontal. La cuve peut être déplacée verticalement entre une position inférieure de repos et une position supérieure de travail pendant laquelle la roue plonge dans l'encre. La roue centrifugeuse est couverte par un capot présentant une ouverture qui peut être fermée ou ouverte par un cache mobile selon que la cuve est en position repos ou non, le support d'impression étant déplacé devant cette ouverture. Lors de chaque impression, la roue centrifuge plonge dans l'encre de la cuve, éjecte de l'encre par l'ouverture du capot sur le support d'impression. Au bout d'un temps plus ou moins long, une couche d'encre séchée se dépose sur la roue, à la suite de quoi tout le dispositif doit être démonté pour être nettoyé.Document EP-B-0 440 576 of the applicant discloses an invalidation device composed of a tank-shaped ink tank and a centrifugal wheel in permanent rotation positioned in a support above the tank on a horizontal axis. The tank can be moved vertically between a lower rest position and an upper working position during which the wheel is immersed in ink. The centrifuge wheel is covered by a cover having an opening which can be closed or opened by a movable cover depending on whether the tank is in the rest position or not, the print medium being moved in front of this opening. During each printing, the centrifugal wheel plunges into the ink of the tank, ejects ink through the opening of the cover on the printing support. After a more or less long time, a layer of dried ink is deposited on the wheel, after which the whole device must be dismantled to be cleaned.

Un autre système d'invalidation connu est constitué d'un groupe typographique appliquant sur l'impression une marque perpendiculaire à la direction de marche des feuilles. Ce groupe typographique est constitué d'un cylindre typographique équipé d'un nombre de têtes de marquage équivalent au nombre d'impressions sur la feuille d'impression et tournant en synchronisme avec un cylindre entraînant les feuilles d'impression. Ces têtes de marquage consistent en un ensemble mécanique dans lequel une barrette métallique est actionnée par un solénoïde. Quand une impulsion est envoyée au solénoïde pour le marquage, la barrette est poussée en avant dépassant ainsi la circonférence du cylindre, est encrée par un dispositif d'encrage et transmet en conséquence son empreinte sur le billet défectueux. La superficie de la barrette établit la dimension de la marque sur l'impression. Dans le cas de changement de format de feuilles, la redisposition de toutes les têtes sur le cylindre est une opération laborieuse demandant un temps important. Ce système d'invalidation demande d'avoir à disposition de la machine un imprimeur responsable de l'encrier du groupe typographique.Another known invalidation system consists of a typographic group applying to printing a mark perpendicular to the direction of travel of the leaves. This typographic group consists of a typographic cylinder equipped with a number of marking heads equivalent to the number of prints on the printing sheet and rotating in synchronism with a cylinder driving the printing sheets. These marking heads consist of a mechanical assembly in which a metal bar is actuated by a solenoid. When an impulse is sent to the solenoid for marking, the bar is pushed forward, thus exceeding the circumference of the cylinder, is inked by an inking device and consequently transmits its imprint on the defective bill. The area of the bar establishes the dimension of the mark on the print. In the case of a change of sheet format, the rearrangement of all the heads on the cylinder is a laborious operation requiring considerable time. This invalidation system requires having a printer in charge of the typographic group's inkwell.

La présente invention a pour but de réaliser un dispositif d'invalidation qui en obviant les désavantages cités précédemment permet également une réalisation simple et peu coûteuse du marquage d'invalidation sur des papiers-valeurs .The object of the present invention is to provide an invalidation device which, by obviating the disadvantages mentioned above, also allows simple and inexpensive production of the invalidation marking on securities.

Ce but est atteint par le dispositif défini par la revendication 1.This object is achieved by the device defined by claim 1.

Ce dispositif permet d'éviter l'utilisation de solvants potentiellement dangereux pour la santé, de réduire la manutention journalière se limitant aux changement éventuels des marqueurs et de diminuer les coûts du dispositif.This device makes it possible to avoid the use of solvents potentially dangerous for health, to reduce the daily handling limited to the possible change of markers and to reduce the costs of device.

De manière préférentielle, le moteur linéaire est disposé pour recevoir du système de contrôle de qualité d'impression un signal de début de marquage et un signal de fin de marquage en fonction de la dimension de l'impression et de la vitesse d'avancée du support d'impression. En ajustant le temps entre les signaux de début et de fin de marquage, on peut donc facilement appliquer une marque sur toute la longueur d'une impression défectueuse et adapter la longueur de la marque à la dimension de l'impression dans le sens de déplacement sans changement des marqueurs.Preferably, the linear motor is arranged to receive from the print quality control system a signal for the start of marking and a signal for end of marking as a function of the size of the print and the speed of advance of the print media. By adjusting the time between the start and end of marking signals, it is therefore easy to apply a mark over the entire length of a faulty print and adapt the length of the mark to the size of the print in the direction of movement. without changing the markers.

Pour invalider des impressions disposées en matrices en rangées longitudinales et transversales sur des supports d'impression en forme de feuilles ou de bandes, on prévoit autant de dispositifs de marquage que de rangées longitudinales d'impressions sur le support d'impression.To invalidate prints arranged in matrices in longitudinal and transverse rows on printing supports in the form of sheets or strips, as many marking devices are provided as there are longitudinal rows of prints on the printing support.

De manière préférentielle, le dispositif de marquage est suivi d'un détecteur destiné à vérifier qu'une marque a bien été apposée sur l'impression défectueuse, une alarme étant générée lorsque cela n'a pas été le cas.Preferably, the marking device is followed by a detector intended to verify that a mark has indeed been affixed to the defective printing, an alarm being generated when this has not been the case.

On utilise de manière préférée des marqueurs standard munis d'une pointe en feutre. Leur fixation sur la partie mobile du moteur étant telle qu'ils peuvent être remplacés facilement.Standard markers with a felt tip are preferably used. Their attachment to the movable part of the motor being such that they can be replaced easily.

D'autres formes d'exécution préférentielles résultent des revendications dépendantes.Other preferential embodiments result from the dependent claims.

Le dessin annexé représente plusieurs formes d'exécution de l'invention.The accompanying drawing represents several embodiments of the invention.

La figure 1 représente une vue latérale d'une première forme d'exécution.Figure 1 shows a side view of a first embodiment.

La figure 2 représente une vue latérale d'une deuxième forme d'exécution.Figure 2 shows a side view of a second embodiment.

La figure 3 représente une vue de dessus de la deuxième forme d'exécution.Figure 3 shows a top view of the second embodiment.

A la figure 1, on peut voir un cylindre 4 qui tourne dans le sens de la flèche et est entouré partiellement d'un support d'impression 3 en forme de feuille qu'il transporte. Cette feuille comporte une multitude d'impressions de papiers-valeurs disposées en forme de matrice. Près de la périphérie de ce cylindre 4, qui peut appartenir à une machine d'impression, est installé de manière fixe un moteur linéaire 1 sur une partie mobile 1a duquel est fixé un marqueur 2. Cette partie mobile 1a est déplaçable perpendiculairement au support d'impression 3. Lorsqu'une des impressions de la feuille a été reconnue comme maculature par un système de contrôle de la qualité d'impression, un signal de début de marquage est envoyé au moteur linéaire 1 qui à la suite de ceci appuie sa partie mobile munie du marqueur 2 contre l'endroit de cette impression sur la feuille, un signal de fin de marquage étant ensuite envoyé au moteur 1 pour l'éloignement du marqueur 2 de la feuille 3. Les moments de ces signaux sont de manière préférentielle ajustés ou réglés de telle façon que toute la longueur de l'impression dans le sens d'avancée est invalidée par une marque.In FIG. 1, one can see a cylinder 4 which rotates in the direction of the arrow and is partially surrounded by a printing medium 3 in the form of a sheet which it carries. This sheet contains a multitude of prints of securities arranged in the form of a matrix. Near the periphery of this cylinder 4, which may belong to a printing machine, a linear motor 1 is fixedly installed on a movable part 1a of which is fixed a marker 2. This movable part 1a is displaceable perpendicular to the support d 'impression 3. When one of the impressions of the sheet has been recognized as smudge by a system of control of the quality of impression, a signal of beginning of marking is sent to the linear motor 1 which following this supports its part mobile provided with the marker 2 against the place of this printing on the sheet, an end of marking signal then being sent to the motor 1 for moving the marker 2 away from the sheet 3. The moments of these signals are preferably adjusted or set in such a way that the entire length of printing in the forward direction is invalidated by a mark.

A la suite du moteur 1, est installé un détecteur 5 chargé de vérifier que le marquage de l'impression défectueuse a bien été fait de façon à pouvoir être reconnu lors des traitements suivants.Following the motor 1, a detector 5 is installed responsible for verifying that the marking of the defective printing has indeed been done so as to be able to be recognized during the following treatments.

A la figure 2 est représentée une seconde forme d'exécution dans laquelle le dispositif d'invalidation est situé au-dessus d'une surface plane 7 en forme d'une bande transporteuse sur laquelle la feuille ou bande 3 imprimée avance à vitesse constante.In Figure 2 is shown a second embodiment in which the invalidation device is located above a flat surface 7 in the form of a conveyor belt on which the sheet or strip 3 printed advances at constant speed.

A la figure 3, le système de la figure 2 est représenté en vue de dessus. On peut reconnaître une feuille 3 munie d'impressions 3a disposées sous forme de matrice en rangées longitudinales et transversales. La feuille 3 dispose de neuf rangées transversales d'impressions et de cinq rangées longitudinales d'impressions et de ce fait le dispositif d'invalidation est constitué de cinq moteurs linéraires 1 suivis chacun d'un détecteur 5. Chaque moteur 1 est situé au dessus et selon l'exemple considéré au milieu de la rangée longitudinale d'impressions lui correspondant. Il peut bien sûr être situé à n'importe quel endroit de la largeur de la rangée d'impression lui correspondant.In Figure 3, the system of Figure 2 is shown in top view. We can recognize a sheet 3 provided with prints 3a arranged in the form of a matrix in longitudinal and transverse rows. Sheet 3 has nine transverse rows of prints and five longitudinal rows of prints and therefore the invalidation device consists of five linear motors 1 each followed by a detector 5. Each motor 1 is located above and according to the example considered in the middle of the longitudinal row of impressions corresponding to it. It can of course be located anywhere in the width of the corresponding printing row.

La feuille 3 est entraînée en mouvement dans le sens de la flèche par la bande transporteuse 7. Elle est déjà passée par le dispositif d'invalidation : les maculatures sont marquées par un trait 6 parallèle à la direction de marche de la feuille 3.The sheet 3 is driven in movement in the direction of the arrow by the conveyor belt 7. It has already passed through the invalidation device: the maculatures are marked by a line 6 parallel to the direction of travel of the sheet 3.

Le marqueur 2 est fixé de telle manière sur la partie mobile du moteur 1 qu'il peut être remplacé facilement.The marker 2 is fixed in such a way on the movable part of the motor 1 that it can be replaced easily.

En général, le marqueur 2 fait avec le support d'impression 3 un angle aïgu qui est de manière préférentielle, comme montré en figure 2, de 90°.In general, marker 2 made with the support printing 3 an acute angle which is preferably, as shown in Figure 2, 90 °.

En général, le système d'invalidation peut aussi être utilisé pour des papiers-valeurs seuls déjà coupés sur format. Il est en outre applicable à l'invalidation de n'importe quelle impression. S'il y a plusieurs rangées longitudinales et transversales d'impression, le nombre de moteurs avec leurs marqueurs est alors égal au nombre de rangées longitudinales d'impressions.In general, the invalidation system can also be used for single securities already cut on format. It is also applicable to the invalidation of any impression. If there are several longitudinal and transverse printing rows, the number of motors with their markers is then equal to the number of longitudinal printing rows.

Sous le nom de moteur linéraire on comprend tout organe entraîneur électrique, électromagnétique, pneumatique, hydraulique ou autres entraînant un élément dans un déplacement linéaire. Cela peut être notamment un vérin, un piston à double effet pneumatique ou hydraulique, un moteur électrique, un électro-aimant.The term linear motor includes any electric, electromagnetic, pneumatic, hydraulic or other driving element driving an element in a linear movement. This can in particular be a jack, a pneumatic or hydraulic double-acting piston, an electric motor, an electromagnet.
