Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device and a method for embossing a decorative layer of a strip-shaped embossing film on a small radius possessing corner of a surface element.
  • a device for embossing a decorative layer of a strip-shaped embossing foil on the, a surface element limiting narrow sides of the surface element is for example from DE 102 16 139 C1 known.
  • this known embossing device it is possible with high cycle speeds, ie high cycle numbers, to characterize surface elements on their narrow sides with the decorative layer of a strip-shaped embossing foil.
  • the respective surface element is formed with rounded corners having a small radius
  • the corresponding decorative layer sections at the said corners are previously fixed to the rounded corners, for example with a tool to be handled manually.
  • this manual mode of operation is only possible with low cycle speeds or cycle numbers, so that the productivity leaves corresponding wishes unfulfilled.
  • the fillets may have a radius of 2 mm to 5 mm, it being understood that the corresponding problems also exist with radii of other dimensions.
  • a stroke embossing is applicable, as it is feasible, for example, with an embossing machine of the type PE500 / KTF "Touchwood". With such an embossing machine, however, corners of a surface element having a small radius can only be stamped with moderate cycle speeds.
  • the surface element to be embossed pin elements made of a plastic material peripherally, wherein the surface element to be embossed and the pin elements perform during the decorating relative to each other a relative movement.
  • higher embossing speeds can be achieved in comparison to a stroke embossing;
  • this higher speed can also in comparison to an embossing device according to the aforementioned DE 102 16 139 C1 , for embossing narrow sides of surface elements, still wishes open.
  • the DE 35 31 898 A1 relates to an initial embossing machine with a heatable, rotatable type wheel for embossing each type by means of a hot stamping foil on objects such as wallets, purses, etc., which are provided with initials.
  • the type wheel is heated from the side, in particular by a heating disk applied to the type wheel.
  • the DE 35 31 898 A1 describes that thereby in relation to the underlying state of the art a lowering of the heating temperature and a faster control of the embossing temperature is possible.
  • the DE 1 161 568 B1 relates to a die for printing objects with fonts and characters using stamping foils.
  • the stamp includes a heated metallic stamp body with a pad of silicone rubber.
  • the elastic support ensures that even less yielding material can be easily printed with flat patterns.
  • the EP 0 437 720 A1 relates to a device for transferring a decoration from a stamping foil to a planar substrate, such as a badge card, credit card etc.
  • the stamping foil is transported continuously from an unwinding drum to an embossing station, where the decoration is transferred to the card by means of a work roll and a counter roll.
  • the carrier foil of the embossing foil which runs off behind the embossing station, is wound onto a take-up drum.
  • the working drum can be heated by a heating device.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an embossing device and a method for embossing of the type mentioned, with the or with high productivity, i. With large embossing speed and high cycle numbers, it is possible to characterize a small radius owning corners of a surface element with a decorative layer of a strip-shaped embossing foil.
  • the inventive design of the embossing device is provided for a rapid supply of heat to the elastic stamp elements.
  • the stamping element is elastic because the surface of the material from which the stamping element is formed has a hardness in the range of 45 ° Shore to 95 ° Shore, preferably in the range of 60 ° Shore to 80 ° Shore, in particular of approximately 70 ° Shore, having.
  • the elasticity of the surface of a stamp element is to be matched to the radius of the corner of the surface element which is to be embossed.
  • the elastic stamp elements on the circumference of the turret in the region of the radius of the corner of the surface element can be pressed so that each stamp element adapts to the radius and thus leads to an optimal transfer of the decorative layer on the corner of the surface element.
  • the linear drive device may be formed by a piston-cylinder device.
  • the stamp elements may have at least superficially silicone rubber, it may be useful if the stamp elements are made of silicone rubber.
  • the heater for the provided on the turret elastic punch members is preferably provided in the center of the turret.
  • the heater is preferably provided in the axis of the turret.
  • the heating device comprises radiant heaters, between which the turret is provided, wherein the radiant heaters are preferably arranged in a plane oriented perpendicular to the axis of the turret.
  • the turret with the associated linear drive device and the heater are expediently provided on a base frame, on which a stamping foil supply roll, Folienvorschub- and -umlenkrollen and a take-up roll are mounted on associated bearing axes.
  • the bearing axes for the stamping foil supply roll, the Folienvorschub- and -umlenkrollen and the take-up reel are preferably oriented parallel to the axis of the turret.
  • An optimal use of the device according to the invention can be realized in such a way that a number of basic frames corresponding to the number of rounded corners of the respective surface element are provided, wherein the turrets can be adjusted back and forth simultaneously between the embossing position and the inactive position.
  • embossing device With the embossing device according to the invention, it is highly productive possible to characterize the rounded corners of a surface element having a small radius of, for example, 2 to 5 mm with a strip-shaped embossing foil, wherein the corresponding clock speeds correspond to the clock speeds of Embossing device are adapted, with which the narrow sides of the surface element are embossed with the strip-shaped embossing film.
  • the said narrow surfaces can be rectilinear or curved, wavy or designed differently.
  • the small radius owning corners of the respective surface element may be designed as its narrow sides planar or concave or convex.
  • the figure shows a design of the embossing device 10, which is provided for embossing a decorative layer of a strip-shaped embossing foil 12 on a small radius possessing corner of a surface element, not shown.
  • the embossing device 10 has a base frame 14, on which a turret 16 is gradually rotatable about an axis 18.
  • the turret 18 is provided on a linear drive device 20.
  • the linear drive device 20 is formed by a piston-cylinder device 22.
  • the cylinder 24 of the piston-cylinder device 22 is fixed to the base frame 14.
  • the turret 16 is connected to the piston of the piston-cylinder device 22.
  • the turret 16 With the aid of the linear drive device 22, the turret 16 between an embossing position and an inactive positive back and forth adjustable.
  • the turret 16 has at its periphery 26 a number of elastic stamp elements 28.
  • the stamp members 28 are made of silicone rubber and are arranged at the periphery 26 of the turret 16 evenly spaced.
  • the turret 16 is associated with a heater 30 for the stamp elements 28.
  • the heater 30 is preferably provided in the center of the turret 16. It is particularly advantageous here if the heating device 30 is provided in the axis 18 of the turret.
  • a stamping foil supply roll 34 is rotatably mounted on a bearing axis 36.
  • film feed rollers 38 and guide rollers 40 are rotatably mounted on corresponding bearing axles 42, 44.
  • a take-up roller 46 for the carrier strip of the embossing foil 12 is also rotatably mounted on an associated bearing shaft 48.
