Driving mechanism for an embossing machine

Abstract

Abstract In a driving mechanism for an embossing machine (1), by which two embossing dies (9, 9'), opposite each other at an inoperative distance, can be pressed relatively with respect to each other by an embossing pressure against an embossing plate (14) held in between, on the one hand an idle stroke has to be overcome until contact is made between the embossing dies (9, 9') and the embossing plate (14) and on the other hand a relatively high embossing pressure subsequently has to be exerted on the embossing dies (9, 9'). For adaptation to the different conditions prevailing during the idle stroke and the embossing stroke, the driving mechanism is divided into a first driving device (23) of relatively low driving force, serving to overcome the idle stroke, and a second driving device (24) of high embossing force, effecting the relatively small embossing stroke (Figure 1). <IMAGE>
