  • Apparatus for imprinting discrete substrates with a flexible stamp
    Patent number: 10875337
    Abstract: An apparatus for texturing or patterning discrete substrates by imprinting a curable lacquer with a discrete flexible stamp and curing the imprinted lacquer resulting in an additional functional textured layer on a discrete substrate is provided having at least a first and a second clamp, a first roller and at least one driven belt connected with the first clamp and with the second clamp and capable of moving the clamped flexible stamp wherein either the roller is not able to cause its own rotation, but is driven by the stamp which in turn is driven by the belt which in turn is driven by a belt driving device, or the roller is driven at the same speed as the belt by a roller driving device which follows the belt driving device in a master slave configuration.
