An embossing block registration system includes a base plate adapted to be mounted in a fixed position within a die chase, an adjustable plate supported on the base plate and adjustable with respect thereto, and an embossing block supported on the adjustable plate and adjustable with respect to the adjustable plate. Securing screws are provided to secure the adjustable plate in an adjusted position relative to the base plate. Fixing screws are provided to fix the embossing block in an adjusted position relative to the adjustable plate. Two adjustment carriages mounted on the base plate are actuated by rotation of associated lead screws and snugly fit within recesses formed in the adjustable plate. Turning each lead screw adjusts the position of the corresponding adjustment carriage to effect movement of the adjustable plate relative to the base plate. The embossing block pivots on the adjustable plate so that a skewing adjustment of the embossing block is also provided.
An embossing registration system comprising a base plate adapted to be mounted in fixed position within a die chase, an adjustable plate supported by said base plate, adjustment means for adjusting the position of said adjustable plate relative to said base plate, securing means for securing said adjustable plate in adjusted position relative to said base plate, an embossing block supported by said adjustable plate, the position of said embossing block being adjustable relative to said adjustable plate, and fixing means for fixing said embossing block in adjusted position relative to said adjustable plate, wherein said adjustment means is mounted upon said base plate for movement relative thereto, said adjustment means engaging said adjustable plate, and wherein said adjustment means includes a first adjustment member and a second adjustment member, said first adjustment member being moveable in a first direction relative to said base plate, said second adjustment member being moveable in a second direction relative to said base plate, said directions being oriented at an angle to one another, said base plate having a surface and said adjustable plate having a first surface for engaging said base plate surface, said first and second adjustment members projecting beyond said base plate surface, said first surface of the adjustable plate having first and second recesses formed therein for receiving said first and second adjustment members respectively.
An embossing registration system comprising a base plate adapted to be mounted in fixed position within a die chase, an adjustable plate supported by said base plate, adjustment means for adjusting the position of said adjustable plate relative to said base plate, securing means for securing said adjustable plate in adjusted position relative to said base plate, an embossing block supported by said adjustable plate, the position of said embossing block being adjustable relative to said adjustable plate, and fixing means for fixing said embossing block in adjusted position relative to said adjustable plate, wherein said securing means includes a plurality of threaded holes formed in said base plate and a plurality of holes formed through said adjustable plate, said holes in said adjustable plate having a dimension in said first and second directions greater than the holes in said base plate, said securing means also including a plurality of threaded securing screws each of which passes through one of said holes in said adjustable plate and is threaded into one of the threaded holes in said base plate.
