Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a printing machine cards on security papers with a paper feeder in the form of sheets, a device for transporting papers to a printing unit, a transport device sheets printed to a control unit of the print quality and a storage unit of printed sheets.
  • the optically variable images also supported by a ribbon are applied at determined locations, the application unit comprising at least one cylinder applicator and cooperating with a printing cylinder between which the paper scrolls.
  • the ribbon is mounted between two coils arranged in a sector of the applicator cylinder and the ribbon passes along a generator of said applicator cylinder perpendicularly to the path of the paper.
  • This type of installation is provided with means allowing ensure the perfect register between the application optically variable images and desired position on value paper.
  • These facilities are in principle provided for a single type security element printing they are expensive and therefore not suitable for prints limited or security papers for which perfect print quality is not required.
  • the object of the present invention is to give a solution to the problems mentioned above, namely offer a security printing machine that can be easily transformed to apply one or the other of known security printing methods.
  • the machine according to the invention is characterized by the makes the printing unit modular for adapt to different types of security printing and that it is made up of the elements common to all these different types of impressions next, a screen printing device comprising a screen cylinder collaborating with a cylinder pressure and a drying / activation device located downstream, followed by a transfer cylinder to a second pressure cylinder intended to collaborate with at least one device for printing an element of security.
  • the advantage of the machine according to the present invention is that based on a clever choice of some elements making up this machine so permanent, it can easily be adapted to different types of security impressions without having every time to use a specific installation for each type security printing. It is thus relatively easy from base installation to add modules cooperating with this basic installation to obtain an impression of security according to his choice and in accordance with the variants described below, in limiting investment costs.
  • the screen printing unit prints beforehand on the paper passing between the cylinder pressure and the screen cylinder, an ink that is either a component of an adhesive or an adhesive. This application is made selectively to places provided for paper to be received by the following the security stamps or tapes.
  • the second component When applying an adhesive component, the second component is located directly on the stamp or safety tape and the applicator cylinder is heated to allow activation of these two components.
  • an adhesive is one component, security stamps or bands are applied directly and cold by the applicator cylinder on this adhesive.
  • the security impression is performed by at least one applicator cylinder cooperating with the second pressure cylinder between which the paper scrolls, the applicator cylinder being provided with at least one pair of coils between which the ribbon is mounted and passes along a generator, that is to say that the ribbon in this case moves perpendicular to the paper advance so intermittent between each application.
  • each cylinder can have several pairs of such coils allowing to apply in one passing paper over several rows of sheets security features.
  • a second applicator cylinder as moreover this is described in EP-A-0 625 466 previously mentioned. In this installation the unit screen printing is used either for the application of a first component of an adhesive, the second component found on stamps or bands and the application is hot, the installation screen printing applies simple adhesive and the application of a stamp or strip with the drawing of security is done cold.
  • the patch (or strip) applied hot is partially or not at all printed and printing a microstructure is performed after the stamp or tape on the paper.
  • the installation includes in addition to the elements mentioned above for applying a stamp or strip from a ribbon moving parallel to the movement of the paper, a plate cylinder fitted with a plate with a relief drawing.
  • a microstructure is printed by embossing the stamp or band.
  • a second screen cylinder located downstream of the wall plate cylinder also selectively on the drawing thus created a varnish allowing to freeze the microstructure obtained by embossing the paper.
  • a drying unit allows dry the varnish before going to the control unit the quality of said print.
  • the printing unit by screen printing is arranged to apply a layer of a coating intended to be printed by embossing.
  • the second printing cylinder is in this case in contact, as in the previous case, with a cylinder plate holder carrying an embossed printing plate which when it comes into contact with the coating previously applied in the unit screen printing forms an image by embossing said coating.
  • a varnish is applied to the microstructure thus created, by means of a screen cylinder in also contact with the second pressure cylinder. Thereafter a drying unit allows to dry said varnish and thus fix the printed microstructure. The paper then passes through the control unit of print quality.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic side view of a installation in which the safety drawing is applied from a ribbon moving in parallel when moving the paper.
  • Figure 2 also shows a schematic view of side of an installation in which the drawing of security is applied from a multitude of ribbons moving perpendicular to the movement paper.
  • FIG. 3 is a variant of FIG. 1.
  • Figure 4 shows a schematic side view of an installation where a coating is applied to the leaves and it is subsequently printed by embossing.
  • the installation includes a supply device 1 in sheets of securities, in particular Bank notes. These sheets, which may already be partially printed or not are brought one by one to through a feed roller 2 to a first pressure cylinder 3 collaborating with a cylinder screen holder 4. Cylinders 3 and 4 constitute the unit screen printing. Downstream of these two cylinders is located a drying / activation device 5 which is preferably an ultraviolet device. Thereafter a transfer cylinder 6 allows transfer the sheets to a second cylinder of pressure 7. Thereafter, and depending on the variant other elements allow to print the safety drawing as will be explained later. After printing, the sheets thus printed are taken by a gripper transfer device 8. The leaves pass through a control unit of the print quality 9 before being directed to a storage of printed sheets 10, 11, 12.
  • this installation includes a unit 13 for applying stamps or bands with an image of security on the sheets of paper passing between the second pressure cylinder 7 and a cylinder applicator 14.
  • Unit 13 will be briefly described and it is similar to that described in document EP-A-441 596.
  • Security images in the form of stamps or bands are supported by a stretched ribbon 15 between two coils 16 and 17, the coil 16 being a reel which takes place while .the reel 17 wraps.
  • the ribbon passes through different deflection devices before coming between the cylinder applicator 14 and the pressure cylinder 7 for apply a stamp or strip at the intended location.
  • the device 13 naturally includes a device allowing to control the register between the images to apply and the locations on the paper located between cylinder 7 and the applicator cylinder 14.
  • the ribbon advances step by step but we might very well depending on the application and especially if it is a question of applying bands, use an installation in which the ribbon 15 advances in same time as the paper.
  • the screen printing unit 3, 4 is equipped, alternatively, to apply to places predetermined paper located between the cylinder pressure 3 and a screen cylinder 4 a first component of an adhesive in the form of an ink, the paper then passes in front of a drying or activation of said component and thereafter it is supported by the pressure cylinder 7.
  • the second component of the adhesive is already on the stamps or strips and during application the applicator cylinder 14 is heated to obtain adhesion of the stamp or strip on value paper.
  • the unit printing by screen printing 3, 4 allows to apply on predetermined places of the paper an adhesive which is activated by unit 5 and when the sheet of paper passes between the pressure cylinder 7 and the applicator cylinder 14 bonding is obtained cold.
  • Unit 13 can be in the form of an element closed that could be designated by cassette. It is obvious if the paper has multiple columns in the direction of the paper movement, the cassette includes several parallel ribbons, which allows a single pass to apply the stamp or ribbon on all the columns of the sheets of paper.
  • the cassette 13 may contain a ribbon bearing stamps or strips partially or not at all printed and after their application, either hot or cold as described above, a cylinder 18 plate holder in contact with a second pressure cylinder 7 allows the by means of a plate 18a presenting an image in relief to create a microstructure on the stamp or strip when the paper passes between the cylinder 18 and the pressure cylinder 7.
  • the material used for make these stamps or bands has a structure allowing this printing by embossing.
  • the paper thus printed passes between a screen cylinder 19 and the pressure cylinder 7 for applying a varnish to the microstructure as well formed in order to fix it.
  • the paper passes in front a drying unit 20 which is advantageously a ultraviolet unit.
  • the installation shown in Figure 2 for application of security drawings includes two applicator cylinders 21, 22 provided with fixed coils on the applicator cylinders. These coils allow the unwinding of a ribbon along a generator of the applicator cylinder 21 or 22 and so when the sheet of paper passes between the applicator cylinder and the pressure cylinder 7, the stamp or the band is fixed on the sheet of paper in the place provided.
  • each cylinder 21, 22 includes several pairs of spools to allow the passage of ribbons with labels or strips with a drawing of security to ensure during a passage the application stamps or bands in several rows of value papers printed on sheets of paper.
  • applicator cylinders 21, 22 reference may be made to the Patent application EP-A-0 625 466.
  • the screen printing unit is used according to two variants, namely, the screen cylinder 4 deposits a first component of a adhesive on predetermined locations on the paper and stamps or tapes on the ribbon include the second component which is activated when of the application by the applicator cylinder 21 or 22 by heating, either it is deposited by means of the cylinder sieve holder 4 a layer of adhesive and application labels or strips are made cold.
  • the unit screen printing 3, 4 apply a coat of a coating on preselected places of the sheet which passes between the pressure cylinder 3 and the screen cylinder 4.
  • This layer is dried with 5.
  • UV drying facility plate cylinder 23 carries a plate 23a having in relief a microstructure allowing print it by embossing on the coating beforehand applied to sheets of paper.
  • a second screen cylinder 24 allows application of a varnish on the microstructure previously formed to freeze it.
  • a drying unit 25 allows the varnish to dry before the sheet passes the quality control unit.
