Abstract
A device (1) for embossing a predetermined pattern onto at least one flat material (4) introduced between at least two printing rollers of said device, the movements of the embossing rollers being synchronized and said rollers (2, 3) also comprise at least two embossing tracks (5, 6), wherein the movements of the embossing rollers (2, 3) are synchronized with each other by synchronization means (7, 8) associated with different embossing tracks (5, 6), which mesh with each other and are distributed over the lateral surfaces of the embossing rollers (2, 3) or are electronically and/or electromechanically synchronized together, the different embossing tracks (5, 6) of the associated synchronization means (7, 8) of the same embossing roller (2, 3) being offset in relation to each other.

A device for embossing a predeterminable pattern onto at least one flat material introduced between at least two embossing rollers of the device, the movements of the at least two embossing rollers being synchronized with one another and the at least two embossing rollers also each having at least two embossing tracks,
- wherein the movements of the at least two embossing rollers are synchronized by synchronization devices,
- wherein the synchronization devices engage with one another, are distributed over casing surfaces of the at least two embossing rollers, and are allocated to different embossing tracks, the various embossing tracks of the associated synchronization devices of the same embossing roller being offset in relation to one another,
- wherein the synchronization devices constitute embossing structures,
- wherein each embossing structure constituted by the synchronization devices of a first embossing roller of the at least two embossing rollers is formed by raised points constituting an individual logo to be embossed onto the flat material,
- wherein a plurality of individual logos are arranged on the first embossing roller, and
- wherein the synchronization devices of the first embossing roller are arranged on the surface of the first embossing roller only in areas of the individual logos.
A method for embossing a tip cover material for a cigarette tip,
- providing a device for embossing a predeterminable pattern onto at least one flat material introduced between at least two embossing rollers of the device, the movements of the at least two embossing rollers being synchronized with one another and the at least two embossing rollers also each having at least two embossing tracks, wherein the movements of the at least two embossing rollers are synchronized by synchronization devices, wherein the synchronization devices engage with one another, are distributed over casing surfaces of the at least two embossing rollers, and are allocated to different embossing tracks, the various embossing tracks of the associated synchronization devices of the same embossing roller being offset in relation to one another, and
- using the device to emboss the tip cover material,
- wherein the synchronization devices constitute embossing structures,
- wherein each embossing structure constituted by the synchronization devices of a first embossing roller of the at least two embossing rollers is formed by raised points constituting an individual logo to be embossed onto the flat material,
- wherein a plurality of individual logos are arranged on the first embossing roller, and
- wherein the synchronization devices of the first embossing roller are arranged on the surface of the first embossing roller only in areas of the individual logos.
