  • the deflection rollers 25 may be, for example, crosswise to each other and at a 45 ° angle to the film web arranged deflection rollers 25, which allow a 90 ° deflection substantially in one plane.
  • the direction of movement of the transfer film web 3 is opposite to the direction of movement of the sheets 5.
  • the transfer film web 3 is fed to further deflection rollers 20 in the area of a printing unit 4 "and then returned to the film collection roller 23 of the film module 17 again by corresponding deflection rollers 21, 25.
  • FIG. 4 FIG. 2 shows an alternative embodiment of the film transfer device 1 with a transfer film collection roll 23 spatially separated from the film module 17.
  • the film module 17 is located on the first printing unit 4 downstream of the feeder 9, while the transfer film collection roll 23 is located on the last printing unit 4 in front of the delivery device 11.
  • the transfer sheet 3 each printing unit 4 and thus each potential transfer gap 16, ie the printing gaps 12 are supplied. From these potential transfer columns 16, or printing gaps 12, the transfer film web 3 can be fed to the transfer film collection roller 23.
  • Tension rollers 19 or economy circuit devices can also be provided in each case in the region of the film module 17 and / or the transfer film collecting roll 23, but are not shown here.
  • a device of the printing machine 2 so that at each potential transfer gap 16, at least on a selection of different printing columns 12, a film transfer can take place, is easily possible by guiding the transfer film web 3 via the corresponding guide rollers 20 and 21.
  • the printing machine 2 is set up such that a film transfer takes place in the third printing unit 4 "downstream of the feeder 9.
  • the deflection rollers 20, 21 in the area of the printing gaps 12 can be provided either inside the printing unit housing or outside the housing
  • a turning cylinder 24 is also located between the film module 17 and the transfer film collecting roll 23.
  • Fig. 5 shows another alternative guidance of the transfer film 3.
  • the film module 17 to the first printing unit 4 of the printing machine 2.
  • a fixed positioning at another location is of course also possible.
  • the transfer film web 3 can be guided via deflection rollers 20, 21 to different printing gaps 12. These different leadership opportunities with the corresponding pulleys 20, 21 are not shown here for the sake of clarity. Instead, a possible further guidance to another potential transfer gap 16 is shown, for which the printing machine 2 is shown here appropriately set up.
  • the further potential transfer gap 16 may be formed by a sheet transfer cylinder 7 and an extra attached further film transfer cylinder 27.
  • This film transfer cylinder 27 can be provided solely for this purpose within the printing machine 2 and, if the space is available, be accommodated directly in a tread area 28 of the printing machine 2. If space is insufficient, the film transfer cylinder 27 is accommodated in an extended tread area 29, as shown.
  • the transfer film web 3 can be guided to the transfer nip 16 outside the individual adjacent printing units 4 'and 4 or, not shown here, within these printing units 4, 4' about the deflection rollers 20 to the transfer nip 16.
  • the upstream printing unit 4 ' is here converted in such a way that, as described, it applies an imaging adhesive to the sheets 5.
  • FIG. 6 schematically a pressure chamber with three printing machines 2a, 2b and 2c is shown.
  • Each of these printing presses 2a, 2b and 2c may include the described potential transfer columns 16, either of Pressure columns 12, in coating units or by a transfer cylinder 27 and a sheet transfer cylinder 8 are formed.
  • two film modules 17a and 17b are located in the printing space, with the film module 17a unwinding two partial film webs 30a and 30b.
  • These sub-film webs 30a, 30b can be provided on two transfer film supply rolls 22 or on a single transfer film supply roll 22. Only one transfer film web 3 is unwound from the film module 17c and fed to the printing machine 2c.
  • the different webs 3, 30a, 30b can be supplied substantially independently of different printing units 4 ", or different potential transfer columns 16 of the various printing presses 2a, 2b, 2c.
  • the film modules 17a, 17b are placed in the pressure space in the area of the feeders 9 of the printing presses 2a, 2b, 2c. Via different deflection rollers 25a, 25b and 25c, 25d, the different transfer film webs 3, 30a, 30b are guided to the printing machines 2a, 2b and 2c.
  • the deflection rollers 25a and 25b are designed in size for normal width transfer film webs 3 and are designed in different directions relative to each other.
  • the deflection rollers 25c and 25c are designed for the narrower partial film webs 30a and 30b, they can be exchanged for deflection rollers 25a and 25b in order to allow a guide for normally wide transfer film webs 3 here as well.
  • the different transfer film webs 3, 30a, 30b are first guided above the deflection rollers 25a-25d above the printing machines 2a-2c and finally transfer film collecting rollers 23a, 23b in the region of the delivery arms 11a to 2c. Above the printing presses 2a-2c, the transfer film webs 3, 30a, 30b are guided substantially parallel to the transport path 6 of the printing substrates 5 in the printing presses 2a-2c. The webs 3, 30a, 30b are then fed via deflection rollers 20, 21 to different printing units 4 ", whose printing gaps 12 act as transfer gaps 16. The upstream printing units 4 'meanwhile serve as commissioned units for the adhesive and / or the transferred transfer layer on the sheet 5.
  • the number of printing units 4 is illustrated here only three for the printing machines 2a to 2c, usually several printing units 4 can be provided, in particular different numbers of printing units 4 for the different printing machines An application of printing ink can then take place before and / or after the film transfer by printing units 4. At least one printing unit 4 'in front of a transfer nip 16 should be designed as a commissioned work for the adhesive application.
  • the pulleys 20, 21 are provided above each potential transfer nip 16 to facilitate a variable transfer sheet guide in a simple manner. For reasons of clarity, only the guide rollers 20, 21 provided for the actual guide are shown here in each case.
