Definitions

  • the present invention belongs to the field of " new generation " number plates, that is to say the plates consisting of a rigid support, made of plastic, receiving a flexible film carrying the information and in particular the number of registration of a vehicle.
  • the device also comprises means for introducing said flexible film into the posterior zone of the thermal printer, said thermal printer also receiving an internal guide capable of inducing a half-turn to said flexible film after introduction with a view to its printing by the thermal print head of the printer.
  • the invention consists in providing, downstream of the thermal printer, that is to say at its output, at least one flexible film introduction zone capable of exhibiting different widths, and to provide said printer with a member for presenting said flexible film thus introduced in front of the thermal printing head.
  • the printable area is always correctly positioned with respect to the print head of the thermal printer.
  • the invention also relates to a flexible film, of a size greater than the thermal head of the printer, intended to be printed by means of the thermal printer of the aforementioned type.
  • This flexible film is in this case constituted by a bilayer respectively a layer made of a retro-reflective material that will receive heat transfer and a layer for protecting said retro-reflective material once the plate is completed.
  • This flexible film of square or rectangular shape, is characterized in that it comprises, at one of its two middle lines, pre-cuts made on the whole of its thickness, suitable for favoring its folding and corollary its introduction within the printer.
  • FIG. 1 So we represented in the figure 1 a perspective view of a thermal type printer capable of producing the printing of a flexible film, in particular for attachment to a rigid plate for the constitution including a license plate.
  • This printer is advantageously integrated in the context of a license plate making installation, comprising means for wedging the respective edges of the rigid plate, made of plastic, and the flexible film after printing. Indeed, once the printing of the film made, it is necessary to secure the latter to a rigid plate, transparent, attached to the vehicle to register.
  • the rigid plate is advantageously provided with a double-sided protective adhesive, the protective film of which is removed before assembly with the flexible film.
  • the thermal printer (1) implemented is for example of the type manufactured by TSC.
  • the output plate (2) of the printer (1) is provided with an additional lower slot (4), intended to allow flexible film to be introduced into the latter, and thus by the posterior, unlike conventional thermal printers.
  • This lower slot is positioned under the exit slot (5) of the printer.
  • This lower slot (4) is intended to allow the introduction into the printer of different formats of flexible film, likely to vary typically between a width of 110 mm to a width of 200mm. As will be described later in more detail, this same lower slot is intended to allow the introduction and therefore the printing of flexible films for automotive square plates, motorcycle, moped.
  • This particular installation makes it possible to achieve a saving of space and a greater ergonomics of the workstation by rationalizing the workstation.
  • the external guide (3) is partially represented in more detail within the figures 4 and 5 .
  • This guide has in fact several guide paths, three in this case, which all converge towards the lower slot (4) of the printer, when said guide is in place.
  • Lateral protrusions emanating from the two lateral edges (14, 15) define an intermediate guide path (12), elevated with respect to the guide path (11). More particularly, the left edge (14) of the outer guide has an offset (16) relative to its inner wall (17).
  • a flexible film of format, and in particular of smaller width can be inserted in said intermediate guide path (12), while remaining taped with respect to the inner wall (not shown) of the lateral edge (15) constituting the reference of introduction of the flexible film within the printer, and for the purpose of maintaining said film correctly positioned at the thermal print head.
  • an upper guide path (12) also having a recess relative to the intermediate guide path, resulting in fact to a lower width.
  • an internal turning guide (6) shown on the figure 3 . It is secured to the floor of the printer, in the immediate vicinity of the rear face (2) of the printer.
  • It comprises an inclined face (7) towards the top, coated with a low friction material, and ends with a vertical section (8) which, following the handling of the flexible film by one of the two motorized rollers (10) with a high coefficient of friction, will induce in cooperation with the internal structure of the printer, and in particular the guide of the print head, the reversal of the flexible film in the direction of the upper slot (5) output of the printer, and its submission to the print head to allow the effective printing of the desired data, previously introduced by a PC associated with the printer.
  • said support will undergo a reversal within the printer before being subjected to printing by the thermal head.
  • a flexible film (20) corresponding to the size of the plate .
  • it also consists of a bilayer, as previously described. It may however consist of a monolayer film.
  • This flexible film has, at its center line (21), precuts (22) made on the entire thickness of the film, thus facilitating the folding of said film along this median line (21).
  • the flexible film After folding on itself, the flexible film has a width of 100 mm ⁇ 1 mm, adapted to allow its introduction by the lower slot (4) of the printer.
  • the printer After turning the folded film on itself, it becomes possible to print a film at the two zones (23) and (24) of said film, in particular by thermal transfer , without any difficulty, what we did not know how to do so far.
  • the present invention which uses a single thermal printer, allows the printing of all license plate holders currently on the market.
