Abstract:
Support apparatus for embossing rolls comprising a fixed structure (1) with two sides (10), which provide multiple supports for one or more embossing rolls (2) having the respective horizontal axes between said sides (10) and being connected with corresponding motors (45) which make the rolls rotate around the respective axes at a preset angular velocity, characterized in that each of said supports is of the collar type (3) coaxial with and external to the axis of the respective embossing roll (2) and made by two elements (30, 31), one (30) being fixed and the other one (31) mobile, the mobile element (31) realizing the closing and, respectively, the opening of the collar (3) around the axis of the embossing roll (2) by means of an actuator (4; 62) controlled by a corresponding control device.
Abstract:
Convertible embossing device comprising a structure (1) with two fixed sides (10) and two mobile sides (11) with respective external faces (EF, EM) and internal faces (IF, IM) and provided with, in correspondence of the respective internal faces (IF, IM), two upper recesses (12, 13) and two lower recesses (12′, 13′) with a circle-arc profile intended to support the end flanges (20, 30) of the two embossing rolls (2, 3) orthogonal to the sides (10, 11) of the same structure (1), wherein the mobile sides (11) are joined to the fixed sides (10) and the respective upper and lower recesses (12, 13, 12′, 13′) define, by cooperating with one another, two pairs of circular seats for the flanges (20, 30) of the rolls (2, 3), and in that, in a second operating position, the mobile sides (11) are distanced from the fixed sides (10) and the upper recesses (12, 13) of the sides (10) and (11) define, each one by cooperating with corresponding semi-circular closure flanges (15, 16), two pairs of circular seats for the flanges (20, 30) of the rolls (2, 3).

Abstract:
An embossing assembly for sheet material includes at least two embossing rollers, the ends of which are rotatably mounted in the side panels of an embossing machine. Each of the side panels is divided into a fixed portion and at least one movable portion. The ends of the embossing rollers are mounted in supports which are removably fixed in seats formed in the fixed portions of the side panels or in the movable portions of the side panels of the machine. In this manner, when the movable portions of side panels are moved with respect to the fixed portions of side panels, a space is cleared for removal of at least a portion of the embossing roller supports.
Abstract:
The embossing rolls of embossing devices serving for the treatment of two-dimensionally extending materials, preferably in the packaging industry, may be made exchangeable if they are disposed in suitable interchangeable units. An interchangeable unit may e.g. take the form of a sleeve having its ends provided with fitting surfaces. The mount of an embossing device comprises corresponding seats which are very precisely adapted to the actual interchangeable unit. In the inserted condition, i.e. when the fitting surfaces of the retaining elements are inserted in the associated seats, the embossing roll contained in an exchangeable unit is thus placed in its operational position without requiring any further adjusting operations. Particularly the driven embossing roll of such an embossing device is thus substantially less complicated to exchange, thereby allowing quick maintenance and production changeovers.
Abstract:
A multi-purpose embossing machine (11) for producing embossed paper comprises a bottom body (12), which supports a first embossing assembly (3,4) that works associated to a second embossing assembly (36). The machine 11 has a top body (18) which supports the second embossing assembly (36) in a position corresponding to the first embossing assembly (34), said top body (18) being connected to the bottom body (12) via a supporting and actuating element (52, 54) designed to support at least part of the weight of the top body (18) during operation of the embossing machine (11) and to enable the bottom body (12) and the top body (18) to be moved apart from one another in a situation of danger. Also provided is a resting element (26) set between the top body (18) and the bottom body (12).
Abstract:
An embossed multiple ply paper product and process for producing such product displaying aesthetically pleasing decorative attributes and exhibiting functional characteristics of softness, absorbency, and drape. The decorative attributes comprise embossed patterns of indicia displaying a high quality cloth-like appearance for a softer, more quilted look. The plies are joined in a face-to-face arrangement by selective bonds which are limited to the indicia, in order to produce more permanent decorative figures that inhibit dissipation caused by compressive forces, humidity, absorption, etc.
Abstract:
A method for forming rollers, particularly rollers for embossing paper webs, includes a first step of forming a series of protrusions and a second step of forming a pattern or design entailing the at least partial removal of a certain number of the protrusions.
Abstract:
The invention concerns an apparatus for mechanically treating paper and includes two engraved cylinders each mounted between two support plates of the apparatus in a mutually tangential manner by means of cylindrical bearings affixed in corresponding housings fitted into the support plates, a first roller of the engraved rollers being mounted on a cradle pivoting relative to a stationary base plate on which is mounted the second engraved roller, the invention being characterized in that the cylindrical bearings are affixed in housings bounded at least in part by a detachable bracket which, when detached, frees a radial aperture through which the cylindrical bearing can be removed along a radial direction.
Abstract:
An embossing and laminating machine comprising a first embossing cylinder with a surface provided with a first set of protuberances, a second embossing cylinder with a surface provided with a second set of protuberances, said two embossing cylinders forming a nip, and a first and a second pressure roller interacting with said first and second embossing cylinders respectively; and in which said sets of protuberances are made in such a way that in said nip some of said first set of protuberances coincide with some of said second set of protuberances, while other protuberances of said first set are out of phase with corresponding protuberances of said second set, wherein said embossing cylinders are mechanically connected by a transmission which does not keep the cylinders in phase and which causes slight relative slippage between said embossing cylinders.
