Abstract: A processing machine includes: (A) a lamination module including: (A1) a supply roller on which a band carrying a protective film or a layer of varnish to be deposited is wound, (A2) a recovery roller on which the band is wound after the protective film or layer of varnish has been applied to a plastic card, (A3) a heating roller disposed between the supply roller and the recovery roller, (A4) a backing roller disposed against the heating roller, and (A5) a constraining roller; (B) an insertion system defining, with the heating roller, an upstream transfer path along which the plastic card moves as far as the heating roller; (C) a discharge system defining, with the backing roller, a downstream transfer path along which the plastic card moves from the backing roller. The constraining roller is disposed across the downstream transfer path.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a card-flipping device intended to be fixed to a printer, said device including card-driving means for transferring cards from the printer to the inside of this flipping device, and to hold them in position in this flipping device, to flip them and to transfer them once flipped from the inside of this flipping device to the printer, wherein the drive means are movable so as to enable the printer, in order to manipulate a card during a processing operation performed by said printer, to use a space inside the device that is occupied by the drive means when they transfer a card from or to the printer.
