Definitions
- the present invention relates to gambling chips also called casino chips.
- game token any element usable in a games room and representing a predetermined nominal value or not, whether it is a disc-shaped token itself or a game board generally representative of a high stake.
- These tokens are classified into two families according to the type of games for which they are used, "French or European” tokens and "American” tokens, all these tokens being with or without predetermined value. Generally these tokens are made of rigid plastic material which is resistant to dirt and scratches.
- the game tokens are almost systematically the subject of a decoration by marking on their faces and / or edges and which, according to the future uses of the tokens, can range from the simplest to the most complex.
- the term decor extends in its broadest sense and includes in particular any drawing, sign, brand and character (for example letters and numbers) capable of graphic representation and / or visual effect.
- the decoration of the tokens is capable of fulfilling at least one of the multiple functions presented quickly below: i) a function of identifying the casino and / or the gaming table and / or the player; ii) a function for identifying the value represented by the token; iii) an aesthetic decoration function and / or advertising medium; and iv) a security function against the risks of fraudulent manufacturing and / or re-production.
- the marking proper it is possible to distinguish the marking in thickness or in volume (for example marking in the mass with or without insert, engraving, etc.), from the marking of a surface (for example printing by mono or multichrome screen printing).
- the invention relates more particularly to surface marking, it being understood that the surface marking can be carried out on a surface inside the token itself (for example for "European" tokens and plates made of laminated plastic sheets) .
- Another technique also used for marking the surface of game tokens consists of printing a decoration (for example by screen printing) on the internal face of a plate of transparent or translucent plastic material, smooth or granite (for example polycarbonate) which is then glued into the bottom of a corresponding cavity provided on one face of the token.
- a decoration for example by screen printing
- smooth or granite for example polycarbonate
- the game token or a similar device is characterized in that at least one of its faces or its edge comprises a decoration produced by at least one pad printing operation with ink and associated with at least one layer of varnish.
- the combination of varnish with the decoration makes it possible to obtain visual effects and / or to provide the physical protection necessary for the decoration.
- the association of the layer of varnish with the decoration is carried out in several ways: i) by placing the layer of varnish on the external cover of the decoration, ii) by placing the layer of varnish internally in the decoration , iii) by decorating with a mixture of ink / varnish. ⁇ r.
- the surface layer of the decoration (ink or varnish) has non-stick properties to prevent fraudulent over-marking.
- the decoration by pad printing is produced in multichromy in particular with more or less transparent inks.
- the final color image of the decoration obtained by pad printing consists of the complementarity of monochrome images, each of these monochrome monochrome images being engraved on clichés.
- a stamp comes to recover the ink from these plates by pressure, to deposit it entirely by pressure on the token to be marked.
- the marking of the decoration by pad printing is preceded by the deposition, optionally by pad printing, of a primer layer to improve the surface condition of the support of the pad printing decoration.
- the decoration obtained by pad printing is produced with at least one ink or a varnish which can be revealed under ultraviolet radiation.
- the decoration obtained by pad printing is produced with at least one layer of an ink / varnish mixture. This characteristic makes it possible inter alia to obtain a more brilliant marking and to harden the layer forming the decoration.
- the decoration of the decoration is obtained by at least one pad printing operation with ink with the achievement of a visual effect or of a pattern by at least one layer of varnish deposited by pad printing either on the surface of the marking either between two printing layers of the latter.
- the motif can be placed on all (for example a checkerboard) or part of the decor (marking the name of the casino with a varnish more or less shiny and / or revealable under UV).
- the decoration obtained by pad printing is produced in part by one or more layers of varnish of various visual appearance chosen from matt varnish, gloss varnish, tinted varnish, iridescent varnish, pearl varnish, glitter varnish, granite varnish aging varnish and crackle varnish. This technique makes it possible to obtain a particular visual appearance for the decor and offers good protection against fraudulent reproductions.
- At least one face of the token has an edge with a softened profile, such as a chamfer or a rounded edge, the edge with a softened profile being marked by pad printing by the same marking operation of the face so as to carry out at least partial simultaneous marking of the edge of the token. Thanks to this arrangement, it is possible to mark the two faces and the edge of the token in two operations instead of three.
- At least one of the faces of the token of the type with substantially planar faces comprises at least one cavity with a substantially flat bottom carrying all or part of the decoration produced by pad printing.
- the outer part of the edge of the cavity comprises a chamfer limiting the deposition and the attachment of dirt on the central part of the token and facilitating the marking of the periphery of the cavity by the ink pad.
- the layer of varnish associated with the decoration is deposited on the cover of said decoration obtained by pad printing and has a thickness at least equal to 20 ⁇ m.
- the covering varnish layer has a thickness of between 50 and 100 ⁇ m, thus ensuring a high-resistance protective layer for the decoration. mechanical.
- the layer of cover varnish is deposited on said decoration by spraying, soaking or depositing with a drop or a curtain.
- the varnish of the covering layer consists of one or more synthetic resins loaded with powder of hard materials, for example of materials based on silica.
- the varnish of the covering layer consists of one or more synthetic resins loaded with materials giving the varnish non-slip properties, for example materials based on elastomer or wax.
- the laying of the layer of covering varnish on the decoration is preceded by an operation of coding and / or numbering the token, incremented or not, by inkjet or laser printing, marking with hot or pad printing over the decoration.
- the invention also relates to the method of marking by pad printing at least one of the faces or the edge of a game token and the application of pad printing to marking in general and to the decoration of game tokens.
- At least one of the faces or the edge of a game chip or similar device is marked by marking a decoration by at least one operation.
- the decoration is marked with at least one pad printing operation with ink and then with the covering of said decoration with at least one layer of varnish deposited by pad printing, spraying, dipping or drip or curtain deposition.
- the decoration is marked by at least one pad printing operation of an ink / varnish mixture.
- a decoration is partially marked by pad printing with one or more layers of varnish of various visual appearance chosen from matt varnish, gloss varnish, tinted varnish, iridescent varnish, pearl varnish, glitter varnish , granite varnish, aging varnish and crackle varnish.
- a decoration is marked by at least one pad printing operation with ink, with the achievement of a visual effect or a pattern by at least one layer of varnish deposited by pad printing, either on the surface of the decoration either between two layers of printing in ink of the decoration.
- the invention is applicable to similar devices in their structures, their purposes and their conditions of use such as prepayment tokens, tokens and / or access plates, countermarks, etc.
- FIG. 1 represents the block diagram of a tampograpny installation allowing the implementation of the invention
- Figures 2a and 2b show a marking operation by pad printing of a game chip according to the invention with a chamfer edge, respectively before labeling (Figure 2a) and during labeling showing the compressed tampon (Figure 2b);
- FIGS. 3a, 3b, 3c represent the diametrical sections of three tokens with metal insert ("American" tokens), in particular FIG. 3a relates to a known token with printed dot, and FIGS. 3b and 3c relate to two variants of marked tokens by pad printing according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 illustrates the principle of such an installation for implementing the invention.
- the reference 10 represents a horizontal frame on which a ribbon moves in a step-by-step movement, each section 12 of which is provided with a cell 14 intended to receive a token to be marked 16 (the side to be marked protruding slightly from the surface of section 12 of the tape).
- the token 16 with flat faces is produced by injection of plastic material.
- the section tape 12 is replaced by a turntable or carousel.
- the tokens 16 pass successively in front of an ink pad 18 which can be displaced according to alternative vertical movements.
- the pad 18 has a deformable head 13 made of synthetic material
- a plate holder 20 is also capable of reciprocating movements between the vertical of the stamp 18 (position
- the actual pad printing operation is carried out as follows. After inking the plate (position 20 ') the plate holder is moved into the position 20. A first vertical downward movement of the pad 18 makes it possible to recover the ink (or the varnish) by simple pressure. After raising the stamp 18 and removing the plate holder (towards position 20 '), the stamp 18 undergoes a second vertical downward movement to deposit the ink (or the varnish) by simple pressure on the opposite face of token 16 to be marked. This marks a monochrome image (final or intermediate).
- the final image of the decoration is constituted by complementarity and / or superposition of images in a single color, each of these intermediate images being engraved on separate photographs.
- multi-color marking either several movable plate holders or a series of monochrome pad printing units are used.
- the inks are generally very fluid, with a certain character of transparency and capable of drying quickly to allow a following operation of marking in another color without risk of mixing the successive prints of different colors (of the order of 2 seconds between two markings).
- the inks used are of multiple colors: for example blue, green, red and black for the four-color process.
- Metallic inks are also used for example, metallic gray, to give special effects on the image: moire, iridescent, pearly effect, etc.
- the decoration is associated with a layer of varnish by producing the decoration by pad printing with at least one layer of ink / varnish mixture, thus making it possible to obtain a glossy and / or more wear-resistant decoration.
- matt / gloss patterns are produced by varnish pad printing (for example solid bottoms such as checkerboards or inscriptions such as the name of the casino, the value of the token, etc.) which are very difficult to reproduce by photo (therefore very safe). These patterns are produced by the deposition by pad printing of one or more layers of varnish either on the surface or between two printing layers of the decoration deposited by pad printing in ink.
- part of the decoration is produced in association with pad printing with ink by pad printing with one or more layers of varnish of various visual appearance (and possibly different) chosen from matt varnishes, gloss varnish, pearl varnish, tinted varnish, iridescent varnish, granite varnish, glitter varnish, aged varnish and crackle varnish.
- varnish of various visual appearance (and possibly different) chosen from matt varnishes, gloss varnish, pearl varnish, tinted varnish, iridescent varnish, granite varnish, glitter varnish, aged varnish and crackle varnish.
- the latter technique changes the visual appearance of the decor and makes the decor even more complex.
- pad printing allows the use of screens on the plates, which is very appreciated for the printing of decoration of the "photography" type.
- pad printing allows without particular difficulty the use of screens of great fineness, greater than 150 dots / inch, which increases, in addition to the quality of the decoration, the security character of the token, in Indeed the difficulty of reproduction (especially for unauthorized reproductions) increases with the fineness of the frame.
- the decoration obtained by pad printing, with at least one pad printing operation in ink is protected by covering with a layer of protective varnish, such as a transparent varnish for example matt, satin or
- At least one layer of protective varnish with a thickness of at least 20 ⁇ m is deposited by pad printing, spraying, dipping, drop deposition or curtain deposition.
- the layer of cover varnish has a thickness
- cover varnishes provide protection with a hardness at least equivalent to that of the plastic material used for the token (between 70 and 85 in Shore D hardness equivalent to the top of level 2 of the MOHS scale [ scale of mineralogists]).
- higher hardnesses can be obtained with polyurethane and / or acrylic varnishes curable by UV rays or varnishes consisting of one or more synthetic resins loaded with powder of hard materials, for example silica-based materials.
- some cover varnishes are made of one or more synthetic resins loaded with materials giving the varnish non-slip properties, for example materials based on elastomer or wax.
- the marking can receive a "non-stick" coating using silicone or fluorinated inks and varnishes (PTFE) to avoid overprinting and / or falsification of the decor.
- PTFE silicone or fluorinated inks and varnishes
- the installation of the cover varnish on the decoration of the token is preceded by an operation of marking a coding and / or a numbering, incremented or not, by inkjet printing or laser, hot stamping or pad printing over the decoration, the latter being obtainable by any suitable process (in particular decoration of the pad printing or hologram type).
- a coding for example a bar code
- a lot and / or serial number according to the request of the user casino (this number being able on occasion to be incremented).
- This coding and / or numbering can remain discreet by the use of ink which can be revealed by UV rays.
- certain inks (or varnishes) used in pad printing for decoration receive pigments which are liable to be revealed under ultraviolet radiation.
- the performance of the decoration obtained by pad printing can be improved by various techniques before or after marking and adapted to the material supporting the decoration of the token (synthetic material, metal of the central insert, etc.), for example: before marking by mechanical treatment (sandblasting), chemical treatment (acid), by physical treatment (CORONA effect, flame treatment), after marking by heat treatment, drying, radiation
- pad printing makes it possible to obtain a marking of good quality tokens with a great complexity of the decor (in particular by taking advantage of the transparency of the inks and of the matt / shiny appearance of the varnishes) and the possibility of additional security operations. , all using the same basic tool, the pad printing unit.
- This feature the low tooling costs, the flexibility of the technique and the high rates obtained by this printing method (up to 3000 chips / hour) make it a very economical method of marking game chips.
- the pad printing decoration within the scope of the present invention can be from the simplest to the most complex and consisting of drawings, signs, brands, characters, letters, numbers, bar codes etc., all of which are likely of graphic representation taken individually or in combination.
- Another very interesting property of pad printing for game tokens results from its ability to mark objects having a certain relief due to the deformation of the pads.
- the faces of game chips are substantially flat possibly provided with a slight relief (ribs, engraving, notches of molding, etc.). It is thus possible to mark these tokens in relief on their entire faces and this, at the end of the manufacture of the tokens (without risk of deformation or deterioration of the decoration). This property is also used to facilitate the marking of the token edge.
- the complete marking of a token is carried out in three prints (one per side and one for the edge of the token):
- the printing of the wafer is obtained by lateral marking using a rotary buffer (or a rotary rim-buffer in the event of simultaneous marking of several tokens arranged in a stack).
- a rotary buffer or a rotary rim-buffer in the event of simultaneous marking of several tokens arranged in a stack.
- the edge of at least one face of the token is modified (relative to the usual straight edge) to present a softened profile, such as a chamfer or a rounding.
- Figures 2a and 2b illustrate the marking of a token 30 (by way of nonlimiting example, made of injected plastic) whose two faces 32, 32 'substantially planar each have a peripheral chamfer 34, 34' (according to a angle of about 60 ° with the corresponding face), the token being moreover symmetrical with respect to the horizontal plane PP T parallel to the faces 32, 32 '.
- a token 30 by way of nonlimiting example, made of injected plastic
- the depth of the cell 36 of the carrier tape of the token 38 is slightly less (a few l / 10th of a mm) than the half thickness of the token 30, thus allowing the 'total inking of the conical chamfer 34 when the deformable head 42 of the pad 40 is compressed (with slight protrusion of the rim 44 of the head 42 beyond the median plane PP'). So therefore, each printing operation allows the marking of a face and a half-slice of the token.
- the invention also relates to the marking of tokens whose substantially flat faces each have a central cavity, most often circular, with a depth of a few tenths of a millimeter, for example injected monoblock tokens or tokens obtained by successive injections of plastics of different colors to obtain a first multicolored decoration in the mass of the token (for example overmolding of a peripheral crown on a substantially flat central core obtained in first injection).
- the marking by pad printing (and the protective cover by varnish or plate) of these tokens with cavities without insert is very close if not identical to the marking by pad printing described in detail below in the context of the marking of tokens with cavities with insert.
- FIG. 3a represents a diametral section (with enlargement in the thickness direction for the clarity of the drawing) of a token 50 today in manufacture.
- the known token 50 mainly consists of an annular crown 52 of overmolded plastic material (preferably ABS, polystyrene, PMMA) on a central insert in the form of a disc and forming ballast 54 for example made of metal (in particular steel or brass) to define on each side of the disc a recess or circular cavity 56 of shallow depth (generally between 0.25 and 0.5 mm).
- the token known 50 is completed by the establishment of two adhesive labels 58, 58 ′ preferably made of polycarbonate, the internal face of which bears a visual decoration printed by screen printing. It can be seen in FIG. 3a that the thickness of the labels is slightly less than the depth of the cavity 56 to avoid scratches and degradation of the decor. It should be noted that in this type of token the crown 52 is very often produced by successive injections of plastics of distinct colors into imprints of various intermediate shapes to obtain multicolored patterns (from 2 to 5 colors) in the very mass of the material injected. As a result, the surface marking mainly concerns the central part of the token.
- the tokens 60 and 70 have the same basic structure with substantially flat faces with an annular ring 52 molded onto an insert 54 forming ballast to define a central cavity 56 of shallow but variable depth, for example of the order of 0.25 mm for the token 60 or of the order of 0.50 mm for the token 70.
- the tokens 60 and 70 stamped by pad printing (ink and possibly varnish) on the bottom 62 in generally flat shape of the cavity 56. The marking is carried out either on metal or plastic material in the case of a plastic insert (possibly after the installation of a primer layer improving the surface condition of the bottom 62).
- the decoration thus obtained is protected either by one or more layers 64 of transparent covering varnish (token 60 - FIG. 3b) or by an adhesive pad or wafer 65 (unprinted) made of resistant and transparent plastic material, for example polycarbonate or polyester, arranged on the decor 63 possibly protected with a varnish (token 70 - Figure 3c).
- the varnish option (without pads) gives better results from the point of view of manufacturing cost, safety, mechanical resistance and resistance to wear (case of token 60).
- a sheet of covering varnish of suitable thickness between 50 and 100 ⁇ m
- a wear resistance at least equivalent to that obtained with pads is obtained.
- the token has a relatively deep cavity (of the order of 0.50 mm), for example for chip tokens
- the decoration obtained by pad printing is, once coated with its protection by varnish, very difficult to modify or to make disappear, whether for a token with cavities (for example an "American" token 60 illustrated in FIG. 3b or a cavity token without insert) or a flat token with a "full face” decoration (for example the token 16 or the token 30).
- cover varnishes loaded with various materials to vary the surface condition of the varnish (and therefore of the token), its visual appearance and / or its feel.
- the varnish of the cover layer can be consisting of one or more synthetic resins loaded with particles of variable shape and size in plastic and / or mineral material to give a granular appearance to the varnish surface and / or increase the friction coefficient of the latter.
- a decoration is applied to the token, in particular a decoration of the pad printing or hologram type, then the installation on the decoration of at least one layer of varnish of blanket.
- a decoration is applied to the token, in particular a decoration of the pad printing or hologram type, followed by the marking of a coding and / or a numbering, incremented or not, by jet printing d ink or laser, hot stamping or pad printing over the decoration, then laying on the decoration and coding at least one layer of cover varnish.
