Abstract: A machine incorporating presser cylinders for continuously making printed patterns or designs, in intaglio or in relief, on webs of supple material lined with synthetic foam. It comprises a die cylinder (1) mounted on fixed bearings (2) and driven at variable speed by a motor (3), a presser cylinder driven by a motor (8) mounted on bearings (5) fixed on articulated arms (6), moved by jacks (7). The webs of foam (9) and of fabric (11) are conducted towards the cylinders respectively by devices (10 and 12). A heating element (13) is disposed upstream of the cylinders. Rotary (14) and linear (15) sensors modulate the force of approach of the cylinders as a function of the rotation of the die cylinder. The different operational parameters are controlled by a process control (16).
