Device For Embossing Foils

A device for embossing foils, comprising a base embossing plate and a counter embossing plate, the surfaces of which facing one another are respectively at least partially planar and which, for embossing a foil lying between them, are arranged so as to be movable on the one hand towards one another and on the other hand away from one another in parallel alignment of their at least partially planar surfaces, wherein the base embossing plate is provided on its side facing the counter embossing plate with a plurality of embossing inserts for embossing a plurality of blanks to be punched out of the foil, and wherein the embossing inserts are configured and arranged such that during embossing of the foil they respectively cooperate with a corresponding embossing region arranged on the side of the counter embossing plate facing the base embossing plate,

• wherein
• each embossing insert is held at the base embossing plate by means of an own embossing insert retainer so as to be movable by a predetermined amount relative to the base embossing plate in the direction perpendicular to the at least partially planar surface of the base embossing plate, is at the same time spring-borne relative to the base embossing plate by means of an own embossing insert suspension and is guided by means of an own embossing insert guide during the spring-borne movement relative to the base embossing plate enabled thereby.
