Embossed plate production equipment - has mating punch and die components formed on hinged supporting plates

摘要

A male punch and a female die simultaneously cut out the paper with which the plate is covered and emboss the characters, and the machine is particularly for the production of motor vehicle number plates. Both punch and die consist of a support plate carrying a component reproducing the character and the outside part of the character respectively. The components can be of brass, preferably chromed, and the two plates can pivot together, a certain amount of relative sliding movement between them being possible. The components can have mating relieved sections along the edges, at an angle between 10 and 15.
