Abstract (en)

A machine (1) for decorating flexible laminar surfaces (P) comprising a bearing frame (2) resting on a reference surface (S), a first coating unit (3) comprising a first coating cylinder (4), coupled to the bearing frame (2), provided with an outer wall (4a) engraved with a first patterned design (5) and operatively connected to first motor means (6) which rotate the first coating cylinder (4) about a first transverse axis (X<sub>1</sub>) to deposit by pressure, while the first coating cylinder (4) rotates about the first transverse axis (X<sub>1</sub>), a first liquid product (L<sub>1</sub>) on an upper face (P<sub>s</sub>) of flexible laminar surfaces (P) advancing along a preset direction (F), so that said first patterned design (5) made of the first liquid product (L<sub>1</sub>) is imprinted on the upper face (P<sub>s</sub>) of the flexible laminar surfaces (P). In detail, the machine (1) includes a second coating unit (7) which comprises at least a second coating cylinder (8) coupled to the bearing frame (2), operatively arranged downstream of the first coating cylinder (4) from which it is separated by a predetermined distance (D), measured along the preset direction (F), provided with an outer wall (8a) engraved with a second patterned design (9) and operatively connected to second motor means (10) which rotate the second coating cylinder (8) about a second transverse axis (X<sub>2</sub>), parallel to said first axis (X<sub>1</sub>), to deposit by pressure and after the first coating cylinder (4), while the second coating cylinder (8) rotates about the second transverse axis (X<sub>2</sub>), a second liquid product (L<sub>2</sub>), different in color from the first liquid product (L<sub>1</sub>), on the upper face (P<sub>s</sub>) of the flexible laminar surfaces (P) advancing along the preset direction (F) on a conveyor belt (11) below the coating cylinders (4, 8), so that the second patterned design (9) made of the second liquid product (L<sub>2</sub>) is imprinted on the upper face (P<sub>s</sub>) of the flexible laminar surfaces (P) in a given combination with the first patterned design (5) already imprinted on the upper face (Ps).
