Definitions
- a transfer unit with two transfer arms carrying transfer pads is pivotally mounted for reciprocating movement parallel to the stations and axial reciprocating movement perpendicular to the stations, and the inking stations are arranged symmetrically with respect to a plane passing through the pivotal axis of the transfer unit and the central zone of the printing station.
- Each transfer pad may print the same or different colors. With two-color printing the same color order can be maintained with a high printing rate.
- the transfer arms may also be provided with a plurality of said transfer pads for simultaneously printing on a plurality of objects.
- the present invention relates generally to the printing of an object of any kind following a process known as the Bienne transfer, from the name of the Swiss town in which this process first saw the light.
- This process which permits both the printing of objects of flat shape and objects of any non-flat shape, consists of the use of a transfer pad, of gelatine for example, or more recently of elastic synthetic material such as synthetic rubbers, neoprene, butadiene, or better still rubber with silicones, this transfer pad being successively applied, first on a block hollow-engraved to represent the design to be reproduced, previously inked and wiped, and then to the object to be printed.
- a transfer pad of gelatine for example, or more recently of elastic synthetic material such as synthetic rubbers, neoprene, butadiene, or better still rubber with silicones
- the ink present on the block is taken-off by the transfer pad and is transferred by this latter to the object to be printed.
- a machine comprising an inking station equipped with a block-carrier plate and a trolley movably mounted for sweeping over and inking a block of this kind, a printing station equipped with an object-carrier plate and a transfer arm carrying a transfer pad and mounted on the one hand pivotally with a reciprocal motion parallel to the said plates between the said stations, and on the other hand, movable to-and-fro perpendicularly to the said plates, at each of the said stations.
- the present invention has for its object a machine for printing an object of any kind following the Bienne transfer method which is free from these drawbacks and which in addition has other advantages.
- the machine according to the invention is of the kind comprising an inking station equipped with a blockcarrier plate and a trolley movably mounted for sweeping over and inking the said block, a printing station 2 equipped with an object-carrier plate and a transfer arm carrying a transfer pad and pivotally mounted on one hand with a to-and-fro movement parallel to the said plates between the said stations, and on the other 5 hand movable to-and-fro perpendicularly to the said plates at each of the said stations, and is characterized in that it comprises a second station similar to the first and symmetrical with this latter with respect to a plane passing through the pivotal axis of the transfer arm and the central zone of the printing station, and in that, for this second printing station a second transfer arm is provided which is keyed on the first and which also carries a transfer pad.
- Howeventhe blocks of the inking station may be different for the application for example of two different colours to the same object, such an object being thus printed in two stages after two downward movements of the transfer arm.
- This remarkable property may be imputed to a kind of passivation to which the ink employed is subjected with respect to the particular material of the transfer pad, after a first contact of this ink with that material.
