Embossing unit comprising a fixed structure ( 1 ) and a mobile structure ( 2 ) configured to be moved to and from the fixed structure ( 1 ), a first embossing assembly (LA), a second embossing assembly (UA) and a gluing assembly (GA), wherein the first embossing assembly (LA) comprises a first engraved steel roller ( 3 ) and a respective rubber counter-roller ( 4 ), wherein the second embossing assembly (UA) comprises a second steel engraved roller ( 5 ) and a respective rubber counter-roller ( 6 ), and wherein the gluing assembly (GA) is mounted on the mobile structure ( 2 ). The first embossing assembly (LA) and the engraved roller ( 5 ) of the second embossing assembly (UA) are mounted on the fixed structure ( 1 ) while the rubber counter-roller ( 6 ) of the second embossing assembly (UA) is mounted on the mobile structure above the gluing unit (GA).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An embossing unit comprising a fixed structure ( 1 ) and a mobile structure ( 2 ) configured to be moved to and from the fixed structure ( 1 ), a first embossing assembly (LA), a second embossing assembly (UA) and a gluing assembly (GA), wherein the first embossing assembly (LA) comprises a first engraved steel roller ( 3 ) and a respective rubber counter-roller ( 4 ), wherein the second embossing assembly (UA) comprises a second steel engraved roller ( 5 ) and a respective rubber counter-roller ( 6 ), and wherein the gluing assembly (GA) is mounted on the mobile structure ( 2 ), wherein the first embossing assembly (LA) and the engraved roller ( 5 ) of the second embossing assembly (UA) are mounted on the fixed structure ( 1 ) while the rubber counter-roller ( 6 ) of the second embossing assembly (UA) is mounted on the mobile structure above the gluing unit (GA). 2. The embossing unit according to claim 1 , wherein the mobile structure ( 2 ) is mounted on a rectilinear guide ( 20 ) and is connected with an actuator ( 21 ) controlling translation of the mobile structure from and towards the fixed structure ( 1 ). 3. The embossing unit according to claim 1 , wherein the mobile structure ( 2 ) is hinged with a horizontal axis (A 2 ) on a lower part of the fixed structure ( 1 ) and is connected to a respective actuator ( 22 ) controlling rotation of the mobile structure from and towards the fixed structure ( 1 ). 4. The embossing unit according to claim 1 , wherein the gluing assembly (GA) comprises a tank ( 7 ) containing glue, a first horizontal roller ( 8 ) which picks up the glue from the tank ( 7 ), and a second roller horizontal ( 9 ) which receives the glue from the first roller ( 8 ) and operates as a glue distributor.
