Abstract
The invention relates to a device for embossing and/or glazing films. The device for embossing includes a first and second embossing roll, through which flat material can be fed under pressure, in order to create a pattern. An additional embossing roll is connected downstream of the second embossing roll, this additional embossing roll interacting with the first or preceding embossing roll. The patterned flat material may be fed between these embossing rolls, in order to be embossed again with essentially the same pattern. In a simplified embodiment, only a total of two rolls are used. In order to achieve as precise an embossing as possible, with special effects, the first driven embossing roll is provided with teeth, while at least one other embossing roll comprises rings or longitudinal ribs, or is smooth.
Claims17
A device, wherein the device is adapted to apply a treatment to flat materials, the treatment including simultaneously embossing and satinizing foils, wherein the device comprises at least one first and one second embossing roll between which the flat material is capable of being passed under pressure in order to produce a pattern, the second embossing roll being followed by at least another embossing roll which cooperates with the first or the second embossing roll and between which the patterned flat material is capable of being passed, wherein the first embossing roll is a driven embossing roll including toothing formed of individual teeth, and wherein at least one embossing roll, other than the driven embossing roll, of the embossing rolls comprises a surface structure without individual teeth.
A device, wherein the device is adapted to apply a treatment to flat materials, the treatment including simultaneously embossing and satinizing foils, wherein the device comprises at least one first and one second embossing roll between which the flat material is capable of being passed under pressure in order to produce a pattern, wherein the first embossing roll is a driven embossing roll including toothing formed of individual teeth and the second embossing roll comprises a surface structure without individual teeth.
A device, wherein the device is adapted to apply a treatment to flat materials, the treatment including simultaneously embossing and satinizing foils to produce a pattern on the foils having an appearance that varies, due to the embossing and satinizing, according to at least one of the viewing angle of the observer, a kind of a light source, a position of the light source, a height of a surface of teeth of the device, and a geometry of the surface of the teeth of the device, wherein the device comprises at least a first embossing roll and a second embossing roll between which the flat material is capable of being passed under pressure in order to produce the pattern, the second embossing roll being followed by at least another embossing roll which cooperates with the first or the second embossing roll and between which the patterned flat material is capable of being passed, wherein the first embossing roll is a driven embossing roll including a toothing formed of individual teeth, wherein at least one embossing roll, other than the driven embossing roll, of the embossing rolls, comprises a surface structure without individual teeth, wherein the at least one embossing roll, other than the driven embossing roll, of the embossing rolls, comprises rings or longitudinal ribs, wherein the cross-section of the rings or longitudinal ribs is outwardly tapered with respect to a longitudinal axis of the respective rolls, wherein the rings or longitudinal ribs are flattened, the dimensions of the rings or longitudinal ribs and of grooves therebetween corresponding to the dimensions of the teeth of the first, driven embossing roll, and wherein at least some rings or longitudinal ribs of the at least one embossing roll, other than the driven embossing roll, of the embossing rolls, are designed to be different from other rings or longitudinal ribs, respectively of the at least one embossing roll, other than the driven embossing roll, of the embossing rolls.
