FIG. 2 shows an additional device
10′ for covering information on an information support
12 with a colored layer from a hot-stamping strip
24, wherein a stationary ultrasonic sonotrode
38 is utilized whose head extends along the conveyor belt direction
14. In contrast to the operation of the device
10 of
FIG. 1, the device
10′ presses an anvil
40 against the information carrier
12 from a lower side and against a head of the stationary ultrasonic sonotrode
38 to a sufficiently strong extent that the ultrasonic vibrations release the required colored layer from the support strip
24 which is disposed between the information carrier and the head of the stationary ultrasonic sonotrode
38 such that the information carrier
12 can be covered. The stamp
44, disposed about the periphery of the anvil
40, effects the required material pressure necessary for material transfer. In the procedure of
FIG. 1, the material pressure is directly introduced onto the hot-stamping strip
24 and the information carrier
12 by means of the ultrasonic rotational sonotrode
18. With the procedure shown in
FIG. 1, more precise information transfer loading can be achieved.
