Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An insertion method for introducing at least one stamping foil 410 into a foil drive system 440 of a stamping machine 1 , wherein the drive system advances each foil 410 in a determined feed path. The method includes the steps of unwinding an end portion of each foil 410 over a given length, turning each end portion back on itself to constitute the free strand 413 of an open loop 414 , unwinding each free strand 413 along the feed path by pulling the corresponding foil 410 from the inside of its loop 414 , while partially restraining each free strand 413 as it deploys along the feed path.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An insertion method for introducing at least one elongate stamping foil into a foil drive system of a stamping machine for advancing each foil in a determined feed path, the method comprising the steps of: providing an end portion of each foil over a given length; turning each end portion of foil back on itself to constitute a free strand of an open loop of each foil, the loop having an inside of the loop; deploying each free strand along its feed…
