Abstract
Description
- The present finding concerns the manufacture of a machine for roller finishing natural skins, leather and the like, functioning with the so-called "synchro" method; the finding also concerns the use of a gravure cylinder, of the per se known type, to be used in the aforementioned machine.
- As it is known, for carrying out the finishing operation in the field of tanning, roller spreading machines are particularly used, commonly called "coating machines", in which the skin is conveyed by a lower roller or belt and where a opposing upper spreading roller, made up of a steel gravure cylinder, pressing down on the surface of the skin, countered by the underlying cylinder or belt, deposits a film of liquid product, previously distributed on the surface of the aforementioned upper roller, through a doctor blade, onto the aforementioned surface.
- A perfect outcome of the finishing operation of the skins, apart from depending on a regular and constant pulling of the product in the spreading area, i.e., the area comprised between the upper roller and the underlying lower roller or conveyer belt, mainly depends on the spreading or "coating" action, i.e., the depositing action of liquid product on the entire surface of the material to be treated.
- The most relevant document of the state of the art consists in
DE 20 2006 003489 U1 . - Such processing is problematic, because the skins often have an irregular thickness and the surface is never perfectly flat, but has depressions and concavities and all of this prevents a total and uniform contact between the surface of the spreading roller and the surface or the material to be treated.
- In practice, the chemical product, held inside the incisions, commonly called "pits" and formed on the surface of the spreading cylinder, is released either only at the surface areas of the skin, leaving out the cavities and the nicks of the skin itself, when a covering process is carried out or only on the incisions, depressions, cavities and scratches when a filling operation is carried out. Similarly, it is not possible to uniformly distribute small quantities of finishing product on the surface of printed skins (fake flower, dollar sign, crocodile), where the product deposits on the surface and not on the nicks ("millepunti" effect), for which reason it is necessary to use another finishing technology, that of spraying the chemical product on the skin through airbrush.
- The purpose of the present finding is to make a machine for roller finishing skins, leather and the like, in which the gravure cylinder for spreading, which rotates in synchrony, or rather with a direction in agreement with the advancing of the skin, positioned above the lower roller or conveyer belt, uniformly deposits the chemical product on the entire surface of the skin, on both the ridges and depressions, and on the cavities and nicks.
- Such a purpose is obtained by using an upper spreading roller, consisting of a metal cylinder, the surface of which is covered by a highly deformable elastic material, such as an elastomer or natural or synthetic rubbers, which enters into contact with the entire surface of the skin, adapting to its entire profile, or rather with the flat part, with the possible protrusions and also with the depressions, the incisions, the nicks and concavities.
- The finding shall be better understood through the description of one of its possible embodiments, given just for non-limiting purposes, with the help of the attached drawing tables, in which:
-
fig. 1 (table I) represents a schematic perspective view of the finishing machine according to the finding; -
fig. 2 (table II) represents a front view of the spreading roller or gravure cylinder according to the finding; -
fig. 3 represents a side view of the gravure cylinder, sectioned according to the line III-III offig.2 ; -
fig. 4 represents a detailed view of the gravure cylinder/skin contact area. - As can be seen in the figures, the upper roller or gravure cylinder of the finishing machine, wholly indicated with the
reference numeral 1 and which operates "synchro" or "direct" mode, comprises ametal drum 2 covered, on its outer part, by a layer of highly deformableelastic material 3, the incised surface 4 of which conveys the liquid covering product, such as dye or fixatives "C", from the doctor blade "R", up to the depositing on the surface "S2" of the skin "P", supported and pulled by anunderlying belt 5 orroller 6. - As can be seen in the detailed view of
fig. 4 , by using the highly deformableelastic material 3, the surface "S1" of the gravure cylinder deforms and exactly covers the profile of the surface "S2" of the skin "P", or rather complete contact between the two aforementioned surfaces is obtained, in both the protruding areas "H", and the concavity areas "K", all to obtain a regular and homogeneous deposit of chemical product. It is also possible to foresee that the outer surface of the cylinder be only partially incised. Moreover, it is possible to foresee that the outer surface of the gravure cylinder prints a drawing.
