PAPER EMBOSSING SYSTEM WITH A FLEXIBLE COUNTER AND METHOD OF EMBOSSING

A flexible counter for an embossing system provides resilient support under a sheet which opposes pressure from a contoured die forming an embossment in the sheet. The flexible counter includes a resilient mat and a fixed bolster which supports the mat. The bolster has peripheral walls which extend around sides of the mat so that an upper portion of the mat protrudes above the peripheral walls. In addition, the bolster includes a resilient bumper that bounds an upper portion of the mat. An upper edge of the bumper is about flush with an upper surface of the mat. The walls have a peripheral channel in which the bumper is disposed. The bumper is formed of a resilient material having higher rigidity than the mat, thereby controlling the flow and stretching behavior of the upper surface of the mat as compressed during an embossing operation:

Paper embossing system with a flexible counter and method of embossing

A flexible counter for an embossing system provides resilient support under a sheet which opposes pressure from a contoured die forming an embossment in the sheet. The flexible counter includes a resilient mat and a fixed bolster which supports the mat. The bolster has a peripheral wall which extends around sides of the mat so that an upper portion of the mat protrudes above the peripheral wall. In addition, the bolster includes support surfaces bounded by recesses. The support surfaces support a bottom surface of the mat, and the recesses receive bulging portions of the mat when compressed under pressure from the die.

Mold tool for paper relief engaraving

A mold tool for paper relief engraving provides a mold cavity, a mold plunger and a folder for being detachably fixed with the mold cavity and the mold plunger at the inner sides thereof. The mold cavity and the mold plunger are doubly etched to create pattern nests and pattern projections respectively with smooth fine contours and edges such that the relief engraved paper can be tightly pressed in a way of the flat part of the paper being kept without wrinkles and deformation at the nests and the jut up part of the paper extending sufficiently. Hence, the relief engraved configuration presents outstanding sense of beauty especially for making a greeting card.

A device for transforming paper in real time

The device assists the customer in cleaning residue from their skin and body hair after they use a toilet for elimination, after they receive a cut or abrasion, or from other source. With the device, the person physically transforms toilet paper and other tissue-like paper in real time to have greater texture, density, and wetness, all three of which together facilitate cleaning better than dry paper or than wet paper without such increased density and texture. Being pocket sized and intended for repeated use, the device can be easily carried by or on the person and used in any bathroom or location anywhere without modification to the plumbing facilities, without risk of running out of a supply of pre-moistened wipes, and without damaging the environment or sewage and septic systems.

Improved crafting dies

A die for cutting a shape or pattern from a material, with a base plate 1 comprising an upper surface 2 and a lower surface 3. Each surface has raised edges 4 in a pattern or shape so that the die can cut or emboss two sheets of material simultaneously. The base plate may have a thickness of 0.1-0.8mm, and each raised edge may have a width of 0.08-0.4mm and/or a height of 0.2-3mm. The pattern or shape defined on the two surfaces may be different or the same. At least one surface may comprise embossing protrusions 5, which may have a width from 0.2-2mm and a height from 0.1-3mm. A method for cutting and/or embossing a shape or pattern using the die comprises: arranging a first sheet of material (8a, fig. 2) perpendicular to the raised edges of the lower surface and a second sheet of material (8b) perpendicular to the raised edges of the upper surface, such that the die is sandwiched between the sheets; and applying a force to the sandwiched die such that the raised edges cut through or raise the sheets to form the pattern or shape.

Device for embossing a sheet with a pattern

Paper sheets may be folded in many different ways to form many different kinds of objects. To increase the ease With Which the paper sheet may be folded, folding lines may be provided in the sheet. A manually operable device for embossing a sheet With a pattern of folding lines is provided. The device comprises a stationary die on Which the sheet may be placed. A rolling die is then rolled over the sheet. Because the stationary die and the rolling die comprise protrusions and indentations corresponding to the pattern, the sheet is embossed With the pattern When rolling the rolling die over the sheet. At least one of the rolling die and the stationary die comprises a curved surface, causing all points of engagement between indentations and protrusions to lie substantially on a single line, ensuring proper embossing of the pattern into the sheet.

Device for Non-Destructive Transforming of Paper
