Description
La présente invention est relative à un cylindre de transfert de feuilles se distinguant par le fait qu'il accueille des aimants affleurant à sa surface, ces feuilles ayant reçu préalablement au moins une impression réalisée par sérigraphie, à l'aide d'une encre contenant des particules (pigments) orientables sous l'effet d'un champ magnétique.The present invention relates to a sheet transfer cylinder distinguished by the fact that it accommodates magnets flush with its surface, these sheets having previously received at least one printing by screen printing, using an ink containing particles (pigments) orientable under the effect of a magnetic field.
Elle est également relative à un ensemble constitué d'une juxtaposition d'au moins deux cylindres tels que désignés ci-dessus.It also relates to an assembly consisting of a juxtaposition of at least two cylinders as designated above.
Dans l'ensemble de la présente demande, y compris les revendications, on entend par le terme "feuille", non seulement une feuille à proprement parler, mais également une fraction de cette dernière, par exemple une longue bande.Throughout the present application, including the claims, the term "sheet" means not only a sheet itself, but also a fraction thereof, for example a long strip.
Des encres pour l'impression fiduciaire contenant des pigments magnétiques sont disponibles sur le marché. Ces pigments, couramment désignés sous l'abréviation OVMP (pour "Optically Variable Magnetic Pigment), eux-mêmes dérivés des pigments dits "OVI®" (pour "Optically Variable Ink"), possèdent au moins une propriété de changement de couleur et sont capables d'être orientés à la demande, sous l'influence d'un champ magnétique, notamment lorsqu'ils se trouvent dans une encre à l'état humide.Inks for fiduciary printing containing magnetic pigments are available on the market. These pigments, commonly known under the abbreviation OVMP (for "Optically Variable Magnetic Pigment"), themselves derived from the so-called "OVI®" pigments (for "Optically Variable Ink"), have at least one color change property and are capable of being oriented on demand, under the influence of a magnetic field, especially when they are in a wet ink.
Les documents suivants décrivent de tels produits, leurs dérivés et/ou leurs applications :
Par ailleurs, la société KBA NotaSys a développé une machine d'impression sérigraphique dénommée "NotaScreen", dans laquelle on vient appliquer l'encre "magnétique" sur le support constitué d'une feuille, à l'aide d'un premier cylindre d'impression équipé d'un tamis. On vient ensuite plaquer le support imprimé (l'impression n'étant pas encore sèche) sur un cylindre contenant une multitude d'aimants organisés en matrice, selon une répartition correspondant aux impressions sur les feuilles.In addition, KBA NotaSys has developed a screen printing machine called "NotaScreen", in which the "magnetic" ink is applied to the support consisting of a sheet, with the aid of a first cylinder. printing equipped with a sieve. The printed medium is then pressed (the printing is not yet dry) on a cylinder containing a multitude of magnets organized in a matrix, in a distribution corresponding to the impressions on the sheets.
Le passage des feuilles fraîchement imprimées d'encre non encore sèche au travers des champs magnétiques créés par les aimants a pour effet d'orienter les pigments magnétiques contenus dans cette dernière. Enfin, dans une portion plus éloignée de la machine, l'encre est séchée, ce qui fige définitivement les pigments magnétiques dans une orientation donnée.The passage of freshly printed sheets of ink not yet dry through the magnetic fields created by the magnets has the effect of orienting the magnetic pigments contained therein. Finally, in a portion farther from the machine, the ink is dried, which permanently freezes the magnetic pigments in a given orientation.
Ce sont ces orientations spécifiques qui confèrent à l'élément de sécurité ainsi confectionné, dénommé SPARK®, ces propriétés optiques particulières. Outre le changement de couleurs obtenu en inclinant le support, des effets de mouvements, de profondeur, de volume sont générés. Ces effets sont, en particulier, obtenus en élaborant des aimants permanents différents non seulement par la taille et les contours, mais également en les gravant afin de faire varier leur épaisseur localement. Ceci permet de moduler les champs magnétiques et les effets visuels qui en découlent, sur l'encre.It is these specific orientations that give the security element thus manufactured, called SPARK®, these particular optical properties. In addition to the color change obtained by tilting the support, effects of movement, depth, volume are generated. These effects are, in particular, obtained by developing different permanent magnets not only by size and contours, but also by engraving them to vary their thickness locally. This makes it possible to modulate the magnetic fields and the visual effects that result from them, on the ink.
Pendant la phase d'orientation des pigments, il est important que le substrat et le cylindre soient statiques l'un par rapport à l'autre et plaqués l'un contre l'autre.During the phase of orientation of the pigments, it is important that the substrate and the cylinder are static with respect to each other and pressed against each other.
Une telle technique est décrite notamment dans le brevet
On y décrit notamment la structure du cylindre de transfert des feuilles.In particular, the structure of the sheet transfer cylinder is described.
Ce cylindre, que l'on qualifie "d'anneau" pour désigner son corps entrainé en rotation sur lui-même, présente, débouchant à sa surface, un canal annulaire périphérique dans lequel est positionné au moins un aimant pour orienter lesdites particules contenues dans l'encre.This cylinder, which is called "ring" to designate its body rotated on itself, has, opening on its surface, a peripheral annular channel in which is positioned at least one magnet to guide said particles contained in ink.
Il comporte des moyens d'aspiration débouchant à ladite surface, en dehors du canal, sous la forme d'au moins une zone pourvue d'orifices pour plaquer lesdites feuilles contre cette surface.It comprises suction means opening to said surface, outside the channel, in the form of at least one zone provided with orifices for pressing said sheets against this surface.
Dans la pratique, cette zone pourvue d'orifices est constituée d'une plaque ou tôle de protection, indépendante et perforée, qui est rapportée et mise en place sur l'ensemble de l'anneau (cylindre) et dont le galbe est adapté en conséquence.In practice, this zone provided with orifices consists of a plate or protective plate, independent and perforated, which is reported and placed on the whole ring (cylinder) and whose curve is adapted to result.
L'aspiration des feuilles (ceci permet de plaquer la feuille sur les aimants) est améliorée par interposition d'un joint entre l'anneau et la plaque de protection.The suction of the sheets (this makes it possible to press the sheet on the magnets) is improved by interposing a seal between the ring and the protection plate.
Dans le document précité, il est indiqué que la plaque recouvre les aimants. Dans la pratique, la plaque comporte des "fenêtres", c'est à dire des découpes, au travers desquelles les aimants affleurent, ceci pour une meilleure efficacité de ces derniers.In the aforementioned document, it is stated that the plate covers the magnets. In practice, the plate has "windows", that is to say cutouts, through which the magnets are flush, for a better efficiency of the latter.
Un tel équipement donne généralement satisfaction, mais est cependant perfectible.Such equipment generally gives satisfaction, but is however perfectible.
Ainsi, dès lors que l'on souhaite disposer les aimants selon un agencement nouveau par rapport à ce qui se pratiquait précédemment, il est nécessaire de disposer d'une nouvelle tôle présentant des fenêtres réparties de manière adéquate.Thus, when it is desired to arrange the magnets in a new arrangement with respect to what was previously practiced, it is necessary to have a new sheet having windows properly distributed.
Il est par ailleurs nécessaire de réaliser de nombreuses perforations dans cette tôle d'épaisseur fine sans la déformer, ce qui s'avère long et fastidieux et présente un coût non négligeable.It is also necessary to perform many perforations in this sheet of thin thickness without deforming, which is long and tedious and has a significant cost.
On note aussi la nécessité de rehausser les aimants pour compenser les éventuelles différences d'épaisseur de la plaque. Plus globalement, on rencontre une certaine difficulté de mise en tension de la plaque sur le cylindre.We also note the need to enhance the magnets to compensate for any differences in thickness of the plate. More generally, there is some difficulty in tensioning the plate on the cylinder.
La latitude de réglage de la position des aimants (en direction latérale et dans le développement du cylindre) au travers des fenêtres de la plaque est réduite et il est nécessaire de sortir l'anneau de la machine pour une éventuelle modification de positionnement des aimants.The latitude of adjustment of the position of the magnets (in lateral direction and in the development of the cylinder) through the windows of the plate is reduced and it is necessary to remove the ring of the machine for a possible modification of positioning of the magnets.
On rencontre également des problèmes d'étanchéité entre le joint de l'anneau et la plaque. Plus précisément, on constate des fuites d'air, de sorte qu'il est nécessaire de prévoir un compresseur plus puissant.There are also problems of sealing between the seal of the ring and the plate. Specifically, there is air leakage, so it is necessary to provide a more powerful compressor.
L'aspiration des feuilles n'est pas optimum, ce qui résulte d'un mauvais plaquage de ces dernières contre l'anneau. Ce phénomène est accentué en "queue de feuille", c'est à dire là où le plaquage de la plaque est le plus critique. Document
La présente invention vise à solutionner ces problèmes.The present invention aims to solve these problems.
Ainsi, selon un premier aspect, la présente invention concerne un cylindre de transfert de feuilles, ces feuilles ayant reçu préalablement au moins une impression réalisée par sérigraphie, à l'aide d'une encre contenant des particules orientables sous l'effet d'un champ magnétique, ce cylindre ayant la forme d'un anneau,
- qui présente, débouchant à sa surface, un canal annulaire périphérique dans lequel est positionné au moins un aimant pour orienter lesdites particules contenues dans l'encre ;
- et qui comporte des moyens d'aspiration débouchant à ladite surface, en dehors du canal, sous la forme d'au moins une zone pourvue de perforations pour plaquer lesdites feuilles contre cette surface,
- which has, opening on its surface, a peripheral annular channel in which is positioned at least one magnet for orienting said particles contained in the ink;
- and which comprises suction means opening to said surface, outside the channel, in the form of at least one zone provided with perforations for pressing said sheets against this surface,
Du fait que la zone pourvue d'orifices est d'une seule pièce avec le reste de l'anneau, il ne se pose plus de problème d'étanchéité comme cela a été explicité ci-dessus.Because the area provided with orifices is in one piece with the remainder of the ring, there is no longer any problem of sealing as has been explained above.
L'aspiration des feuilles vers le cylindre est nettement plus performante. Il en résulte que même en regard du canal annulaire dans lequel sont logés les aimants, les feuilles ne forment pas de creux mais gardent au contraire, le galbe de la surface du cylindre.The suction of the sheets towards the cylinder is clearly more efficient. As a result, even with respect to the annular channel in which the magnets are housed, the sheets do not form a hollow, but rather keep the curve of the surface of the cylinder.
Selon d'autres caractéristiques non limitatives et avantageuses de ce cylindre, prises seules ou en combinaison :
- ledit canal d'un anneau s'étend en position médiane avec, de part et d'autre de celui-ci, des bandeaux de largeur identique ou sensiblement identique, chaque bandeau présentant au moins une zone pourvue d'orifices pour plaquer lesdites particules de l'encre au travers de la feuille sur laquelle elle est imprimée, contre cette zone, et les exposer au plus près du champ magnétique dudit au moins un aimant ;
- ledit canal est dépourvu d'un quelconque moyen de recouvrement ;
- il comporte, entre deux aimants voisins, une entretoise qui affleure à ladite surface ;
- ladite entretoise en un matériau antiadhésif tel que par exemple du polytétrafluoroéthylène.
- said channel of a ring extends in the middle position with, on either side thereof, strips of identical or substantially identical width, each strip having at least one zone provided with orifices for pressing said particles of the ink through the sheet on which it is printed, against this area, and exposing them closer to the magnetic field of said at least one magnet;
- said channel is devoid of any means of recovery;
- it comprises, between two neighboring magnets, a spacer which is flush with said surface;
- said spacer in a non-stick material such as for example polytetrafluoroethylene.
Un autre aspect de l'invention se rapporte un ensemble constitué d'une juxtaposition d'au moins deux cylindres tels que désignés ci-dessus. Cet ensemble est notamment remarquable en ce qu'entre deux cylindres voisins s'étend une entretoise, sensiblement de même diamètre que lesdits cylindres, en un matériau antiadhésif tel que par exemple du polytétrafluoroéthylène.Another aspect of the invention relates to an assembly consisting of a juxtaposition of at least two cylinders as designated above. This assembly is particularly remarkable in that between two adjacent cylinders extends a spacer, substantially of the same diameter as said cylinders, a non-stick material such as for example polytetrafluoroethylene.
Préférentiellement, l'ensemble comporte de trois à sept cylindres et plus particulièrement cinq.Preferably, the assembly comprises from three to seven cylinders and more particularly five.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description détaillée qui va suivre. Elle sera faite en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :
- la
figure 1 est une vue simplifiée en perspective avec arrachement partiel, d'un anneau constitutif du cylindre selon l'invention ; - la
figure 2 est une vue partielle en perspective de l'anneau de lafigure 1 , selon un mode de réalisation particulier ; - la
figure 3 montre, de face, la juxtaposition de deux anneaux selon l'invention, avec interposition, entre eux, d'une entretoise ; - la
figure 4 est une vue analogue à la précédente, montrant cette fois-ci la juxtaposition de cinq anneaux ; - la
figure 5 est une vue de face d'une feuille imprimée à l'aide d'un ensemble de cylindres de transfert conforme à la présente invention.
- the
figure 1 is a simplified perspective view partially broken away, of a constituent ring of the cylinder according to the invention; - the
figure 2 is a partial perspective view of the ring of thefigure 1 according to a particular embodiment; - the
figure 3 shows, from the front, the juxtaposition of two rings according to the invention, with the interposition between them of a spacer; - the
figure 4 is a view similar to the previous one, this time showing the juxtaposition of five rings; - the
figure 5 is a front view of a printed sheet using a set of transfer cylinders according to the present invention.
Dans un simple souci de simplification, l'arbre longitudinal de mise en rotation de l'anneau ou cylindre 1 sur lequel ce dernier est calé, n'a pas été représenté sur les figures.For the sake of simplicity, the longitudinal shaft of rotation of the ring or cylinder 1 on which the latter is wedged, has not been shown in the figures.
L'axe X-X' représente l'axe longitudinal du cylindre, et donc de l'anneau qui le constitue, autour duquel il se meut.The X-X 'axis represents the longitudinal axis of the cylinder, and therefore of the ring which constitutes it, around which it moves.
Plus particulièrement et en se référant à la
Dans ce manchon est prévu une série d'ouvertures oblongues 100, réparties régulièrement et dont on expliquera plus loin la fonction.In this sleeve is provided a series of
Le manchon 10 s'étend à distance et est coaxial à une paroi annulaire 11 de plus grand diamètre.The
Le manchon et la paroi annulaire font partie de la même pièce et sont rendus solidaires l'un de l'autre par deux parois divergentes 12 dirigées radialement. Ces parois délimitent une rainure 13 dirigée parallèlement à l'axe X-X'. Son fond est référencé 130 et ses parois latérales 131 et 132. Du fond 130, s'élève radialement une paire de pinces 134 de type connu, destinée à immobiliser une feuille préalablement imprimée, relativement au cylindre.The sleeve and the annular wall are part of the same part and are secured to one another by two diverging
Il existe donc un large espace E entre le manchon 10 et la paroi annulaire 11 dans laquelle les ouvertures 100 débouchent.There is therefore a large gap E between the

Ainsi que le montrent plus particulièrement les
Les emplacements précités résultent bien entendu de la répartition des régions de la feuille imprimée avec de l'encre comportant des particules magnétiques.The aforesaid locations result of course from the distribution of the regions of the printed sheet with ink having magnetic particles.
Dans l'exemple représenté à la
Chaque entretoise peut être avantageusement constituée en un matériau antiadhésif tel que du polytétrafluoroéthylène. Il pourrait s'agir toutefois d'un autre matériau à surface lisse et/ou à effet glissant. Toutefois, celui qui vient d'être mentionné présente l'avantage d'être répandu, peu cher et facile à usiner.Each spacer may advantageously be made of a non-stick material such as polytetrafluoroethylene. However, it could be another material with a smooth surface and / or a sliding effect. However, the one just mentioned has the advantage of being widespread, inexpensive and easy to machine.
Toutefois, la présence de ces entretoises est simplement facultative et l'on peut envisager de laisser non recouverts les espaces entre deux blocs aimantés.However, the presence of these spacers is simply optional and it is possible to consider leaving the spaces between two magnetized blocks uncovered.

Sur les figures annexées n'ont pas été représentés les moyens qui permettent de générer une dépression à l'intérieur de l'espace E et, par voie de conséquence, un flux d'aspiration, de l'extérieur vers l'intérieur, au travers des orifices 110. On utilise par exemple un compresseur.In the appended figures, the means which make it possible to generate a vacuum inside the space E and, consequently, a suction flow, from the outside towards the inside, to the through
Le fait que les zones pourvues de ces orifices soient d'une seule pièce avec le reste de l'anneau permettent d'obtenir un plaquage optimal de la feuille imprimée à traiter. Il n'y a plus de fuite d'air comparativement au matériel connu préalablement. La puissance du matériel d'aspiration peut être réduite en conséquence.The fact that the zones provided with these orifices are in one piece with the rest of the ring makes it possible to obtain optimum plating of the printed sheet to be treated. There is no more air leakage compared to previously known material. The power of the suction equipment can be reduced accordingly.
Par ailleurs, d'une fabrication à l'autre et pour autant que l'emplacement des zones imprimées avec une encre magnétique change, l'accès aux blocs aimanté est aisé et leur déplacement facilité. Une grande souplesse de fonctionnement est ainsi obtenue et l'on peut donc éviter la fabrication de la tôle de protection et d'aspiration décrite intialement dans l'art antérieur et qui se trouve unique et dédiée à une configuration d'impression donnée.Moreover, from one manufacture to another and as far as the location of the areas printed with a magnetic ink changes, access to the magnetic blocks is easy and their movement facilitated. A great flexibility of operation is thus obtained and one can thus avoid the manufacture of the sheet of protection and suction described in the prior art and which is unique and dedicated to a given printing configuration.
Avec le cylindre de transfert décrit dans la présente invention une multitude de configurations d'impression peut être envisagée sans être obligé d'originer autre chose que les blocs aimants.With the transfer cylinder described in the present invention a multitude of printing configurations can be envisaged without having to originate anything other than the magnet blocks.
Même lorsqu'aucune entretoise 5 n'est présente entre deux blocs aimantés, le plaquage de la feuille sur le cylindre est malgré tout correct.Even when no
