Abstract: Holographic labels are used on a variety of articles of manufacture for security, authenticity, or aesthetic appeal. Manufacturing a holographic label or sticker typically entails microembossing, that is, imprinting or cutting, microscopic grooves into a clear plastic sheet with a shiny aluminum coating. The grooves diffract light and form a three-dimensional image, such as the dove commonly found on Visanull brand credit cards. Unfortunately, conventional microembossing machines, or microembossers, suffer from a number of problems. For example, these microembossers include two large base rollers that move back and forth in sequence to contact a shimroller. The clumsy back and forth movement not only limits how fast embossing can occur but also causes misalignment of embossed images. To address this and other problems, the inventors devised an exemplary microembosser which includes a single base roller and a shimroller which one or more unique features. Among these features are magnetic members that assist in holding a shim; an internal temperature sensor that aids control of shimroller temperature; and one or more shimcollars or shimclamps that spans across a gap between the leading and trailing edges of a shim. Other features of the exemplary embosser include an automatic mechanism for separating the base roller and shimroller during shutdown.

Abstract translation: 全息标签用于各种制造制品，用于安全性，真实性或美学吸引力。 制造全息标签或贴纸通常需要微压印，即压印或切割，微细凹槽成为具有光泽铝涂层的透明塑料片。 凹槽衍射光并形成三维图像，例如在Visa（TM）品牌信用卡上常见的鸽子。 不幸的是，常规的微型压片机或微型电子装置存在许多问题。 例如，这些微型组件包括两个大的基本的辊子，它们依次前后移动以接触闪光器。 笨拙的前后运动不仅限制了压花的发生速度，还会导致压印图像的未对准。 为了解决这个问题和其他问题，本发明人设计了一种示例性的微型灌封器，其包括一个或多个独特特征的单个基底辊和微光器。 这些特征中的磁性构件有助于保持垫片; 内部温度传感器，有助于控制温度; 以及跨越垫片的前缘和后缘之间的间隙的一个或多个薄膜或垫片。 示例性压花机的其他特征包括用于在关闭期间分离底辊和微光板的自动机构。

Abstract: A method of laser-assisted pressing is used to adjust the pressing position with a laser projector and an impressible element while pressing an opaque object. The apparatus in this invention is characterized by a platform, a pressing unit with at least one press head, and at least one laser projector for projecting a laser beam to form a light area. The press head presses the impressible element to form a pressure mark indicating the pressing position. The light area is then adjusted to match the pressure mark. Finally, the relative positioning of the platform and the pressing unit is adjusted to match the light area with the area to be pressed. Thus the pressing position will be accurate in the pressing process.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for producing a seamless embossing shim. The shim carries a pattern to be embossed on a decorative medium, such that the image on the decorative medium contains no production seams. The methods comprise several steps. First, the a flat shim is casted onto a plastic cylinder to form a plastic master with the pattern on the outer surface to form a plastic master. Second, the plastic master is used to produce a metal master by depositing a layer of metal on the outer surface of the plastic master. Lastly, the metal master is then used to formed the seamless embossing shim by depositing a layer of metal on the inner surface of the metal master.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for the embossing of a sheet of flexible graphite material between a pair of embossing rollers. The embossing rollers include a primary embossing roller and a backup roller. The primary embossing roller has an embossing pattern defined thereon. One or both of the rollers include a raised stabilization area adjacent a periphery of the embossing pattern. The raised stabilization area preferably has a roughened outer surface for better gripping the sheet of flexible graphite material. The raised stabilization areas apply a stabilizing force to the sheet adjacent the periphery of the embossing pattern, thereby limiting egress of the material laterally away from the embossing pattern. The roughened surfaces increase the grip of the raised areas upon the sheet, thus aiding in pulling the sheet between the rollers and also aiding in the application of lateral stabilization forces to the sheet.

Abstract: A process for increasing the tactile properties of a base web without adversely effecting the strength of the web is disclosed. In one embodiment, the process includes the steps of placing a creped base web between a first moving conveyor and a second moving conveyor. The conveyors are then wrapped around a shear-inducing roll which creates shear forces and compressive forces that act upon the base web. The shear forces disrupt the web, increasing the softness and decreasing the stiffness of the web. The compressive forces are localized at the areas where the fabric knuckles contact the base web, imparting a unique fabric-imprinted pattern to the web with limited caliper reduction. The shear-inducing roll typically has a relatively small diameter. In some applications, more than one shear-inducing roll may be incorporated into the system.
