DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for attaching a seal made of hologram foil on a printed sheet, such as an admission ticket or the like, for various tickets.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, with the development of copying machines and the like, forgery of various tickets such as admission tickets and seal certificates (hereinafter, collectively referred to as tickets, etc.) has been easily performed. Is coming. For this reason, a special seal called a hologram foil is attached to the ticket or the like. This hologram foil is
A fine pattern is engraved on the surface of the aluminum foil by laser processing or the like. By preparing this as a seal and attaching it to a ticket or the like, forgery of the ticket or the like can be made difficult.

[0003] As a device for attaching a seal (hologram seal) made of the above-mentioned hologram foil to a ticket or the like, for example, the one shown in Fig. 3 is known. In the hologram seal sticking apparatus 20 shown in FIG. 4, a tape-shaped hologram foil 300 on which a seal 310 is continuously formed and a sheet 400 continuously printed as a ticket or the like are shown in FIG. Then, the hologram foil 300 is sent to the transfer unit 22 so that the hologram foil 300 overlaps the printed surface of the sheet 400 with the front side facing upward, and FIG.
As shown in (2), in the transfer unit 22, the seal 310 of the hologram foil 300 and the seal affixed portion of the sheet 400 are positioned immediately below the plate 221 (seal transfer position), and the hammer is placed from the opposite side of the plate 221 side. I hit it at 222. Hologram foil 300
In FIG. 7, the front side (the upper side in the figure) on which the pattern is formed is covered with a resin sheet, while a hot melt adhesive layer is formed on the opposite side, and while the plate 221 is heated, the The hologram seal 310 is transferred to a predetermined portion of each ticket or the like by overlapping and hitting the portion of the sheet 400 with the sticker.

In the hologram sticking step, the position of the seal 310 of the hologram foil 300 and the position of the sticker 410 of the sheet 400 need to be adjusted to the seal transfer position, as shown in FIG. In the foil 300, one stop mark 320 is formed on each side of a certain number (usually about 3 to 5) of the seals 310. The stop marks 420 are printed one by one, and these stop marks 320 and 420 are printed on the sensors 24a and 24b shown in FIG.
The control is performed such that the advance of the hologram foil 300 and the sheet 400 is stopped when each of the seals 310 and each of the sticking portions 410 reach the seal transfer position.

[0005]

In the hologram seal sticking apparatus 20, the sensors 24a and 24b are provided at positions distant from the transfer section 22, so that the sensors 24a and 24b detect the stop marks 320 and 420. After that, an error is likely to occur before the corresponding seal 310 and seal sticking portion 410 reach the seal transfer position of the transfer unit 22. As a result, a gap occurs between the position of the sticker 310 on the sheet 400 and the position of the sticker 310 actually affixed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a hologram seal sticking apparatus capable of positioning a hologram seal with high accuracy. It is in.

[0007]

A hologram seal sticking apparatus according to the present invention, which has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, comprises:
An apparatus for attaching a seal made of a hologram foil onto a sheet, comprising: a hologram foil on which a seal is continuously formed and a supply unit for sending out the sheet to which the seal is attached; and transferring the seal from the hologram foil onto the sheet. And a collecting unit for collecting the hologram foil and the sheet after the transfer, and is intended to stick a seal on a sheet and a stop mark formed on the side of each seal in the hologram foil. A sensor for detecting a stop mark printed on the side of each part is installed on the side of the seal transfer position in the transfer unit, and the stop mark is detected on the side of the seal transfer position. By
The position of the sticker on the seal and the sheet is adjusted to the seal transfer position.

[0008]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A hologram foil and a sheet are sent from a supply section to a transfer section, and a stop mark is detected by a sensor provided on a side of the transfer section at a seal transfer position. When the part reaches the seal transfer position, the hologram foil and the sheet are stopped, and the seal is transferred from the hologram foil onto the sheet. This operation is performed for each seal, and the hologram foil and sheet after transfer are collected by the collection unit.

[0009]

According to the hologram seal sticking apparatus of the present invention, the detection of the stop mark is performed on the side of the seal transfer position of the transfer portion, so that the detection of the stop mark and the alignment of the hologram seal are performed at substantially the same position. Therefore, it is possible to highly accurately match the position on the sheet where the seal is intended to be attached with the position of the actually applied seal.

[0010]

The present invention will be described below with reference to examples. FIG.
1 is a schematic view showing one embodiment of the hologram seal sticking device of the present invention. The hologram seal sticking apparatus 10 shown in FIG. 1 includes a supply unit 11 that sends out a hologram foil 30 and a sheet 40, a transfer unit 12 that transfers a seal 31 from the hologram foil 30 onto the sheet 40, a hologram foil 30 and a sheet after the transfer. And a collection unit 13 that collects 40. The transfer unit 12 includes:
A sensor 14 for detecting a stop mark is provided.

In the supply section 11, the hologram foil 30 is fed from a first supply roll 111 by a sheet 40.
Are sent out from the second supply rolls 112 respectively.
The sheet 40 is sent out with the side to which the sticker is attached facing upward, and the hologram foil 30 has the pattern forming side (resin sheet covering side) facing upward and the hot melt adhesive layer forming side facing downward. Sent out on top of it. The sheet 40 is printed at regular intervals as a ticket or the like, while the hologram foil 30 is provided with a seal 31 at regular intervals. Note that the interval between the two may be different.

The hologram foil 30 and the sheet 40 sent from the supply unit 11 are sent to the transfer unit 12.

In the transfer section 12, the stop mark is detected by the sensor 14, so that each time the seal 31 of the hologram foil 30 and each seal-attached portion on the sheet 40 come directly below the plate 121, a hologram is formed. The foil 30 and the sheet 40 stop.

As shown in FIG. 2, the sensor 14 comprises two sensors 14a and 14a juxtaposed on the side of the plate 121.
4b, each seal 3 of the hologram foil 30
The stop mark 32 formed on one side of the sheet 1 is detected by the sensor 14a, while the stop mark 42 printed on the side of each seal sticking portion 41 on the sheet 40 is detected by the sensor 14b. Sensors using optical fibers are used as the sensors 14a and 14b.

In the hologram foil, one stop mark is conventionally formed for a plurality of seals (for example, about 3 to 5) as described above, whereas in the present invention, the hologram shown in FIG. Since one stop mark 32 is formed for one seal 31 like the foil 30, the positioning of each seal 31 can be performed with higher accuracy. In the sheet 40, similarly, one seal sticking site 4
Since one stop mark 42 is used for each one, the position of each sticking portion 41 can be aligned with higher accuracy.

After the respective seals 31 of the hologram foil 30 and the respective sticking portions 41 on the sheet 40 are positioned just below the plate 121 as described above, FIG.
As shown in FIG.
22 strikes the plate 121. At this time, the plate 121 is heated by the heater block 123, so that the seal 31 is
0 is transferred onto the sheet 40.

The hologram foil 30 and the sheet 40 after the transfer are sent to the collecting section 13. This collection unit 1
3, the hologram foil 30 is taken up by a take-up roll 131 connected to a motor,
Is sent out of the apparatus 10 by a pulling roller 132a and a pressing roller 132b connected to a motor.
