Abstract: A method of and apparatus for producing a transparent film or a transparent layer with a surface structure at least on one side and, on the other side, in register with said surface structure, a structural or 2-dimensional pattern, operate with at least two rotating rollers and layer application between them and curing of a structural layer. By means of a third rotating application roller, a further layer can be applied in register to the rear side of the structural layer and can be cured. The rollers and roller nips can be set very accurately by suitable devices. The rotation of all the rollers is controlled by a master drive.

Abstract: An apparatus for the separating and renewed applying of an incoming material web on winding machines to a winding sleeve, a separating knife and an applying brush, fixedly connected to the latter, being swivelled into the path of the material web for separating, and the separating knife being accelerated by a hydraulically driven motor, controlled by a stepping control motor, by means of a shaft at an angle of up to 130.degree., whereupon the separating operation is performed at from 230.degree. to 260.degree. and the shaft comes to a standstill again after about a further 90.degree.. In this way, transverse separating of a material web is possible even at high speeds. In order to avoid deformations of the separating knife, the shaft of the hydraulic motor is provided with a compensating shaft.
