often necessary to produce millions o~ such tickets all of which must be different. Even using the largest of the available belt-type printing machines, the time and cost involved is substantial. Further the initial artwork associated with the preparation of the individual mill.ions of tickets i.nvolves extremely high costs SUMMA~Y OF THE INVENTION
According to the present invention there is provided a belt-type printing machine for printing a plurality of different printed sheets of the same size on a moving web~ the machine comprising two or more endless belts each carrying thereon an ordered sequence of printing plates of the same dimensions, each plate on the first belt being provided with spaced-apart printing portions thereon associated with the printing of spaced-apart sub-areas of a sheet, and each plate on the at least one further belt being provided with a printing portion thereon associated with the printing of the remaining sub-area of the sheet between said spaced-apart sub-areas printed by the plates on the first belt, the first and further belts being of different lenyths whereby the belts carry different numbers of printing plates, the arrangement being such that, on controlled passage of the moving web past each endless belt in turn and on rotation of said helts to move the prinking plates thereon at the same speeds, said spaced-apart sub-areas and the remaining intermediate sub-area of each sheet are sequentially printed by the printing plates on the first and further belts respectively to produce a series of printed sheets on the web each comprising a combination of sub-areas printed from printing portions on different beltsr each rotation of a belt displacing the printing plates thereon relative to the plates on the at least one further belt whereby, on continuous rotation of the belts, a plurality of printed sheets each with dif~erent combinations of sub-areas thereon are printed.
Although such a machine has applications in many different fields where a series of different printed sheets are required, it is particularly useful in the high-speed printing of large numbers of different bingo tickets.
Conveniently each belt carries a number of columns of printing plates extendiny around the circumference thereof, each column of a belt containing the same number of printing platest the corresponding plates of each column on a belt being aligned to form a series of rows of printing plates each extending across the width of the associated belt.
In a currently preferred bingo ticket printing machine, there are two endless belts, each row on each belt containing eight printing plates, there being 600 rows on one belt and 601 rows on the other belt, the one belt being shorter than the other beIt by the depth of one ticket, typically 1 3/4 inches.
The plates on one belt may be associated with the printing of five of the vertical columns of a typical bingo ticket, for example the outer five columns, and the plates on the other belt may be associated with the printing of the other five vertical columns, for e~ample the inner five columns.
It will be appreciated that continuous rotation of the belts o~ such a machine ~or a full rull o~ the machine enables the printing o~ 2,884,800 d1~ferent tickets without altering the positions of the printing plates on the belt, while a total o~ 23,078,400 different tickets can be printed from the original 9,608 plates by sequentially moving the eight columns of plates on a belt one step sideways after each run.

An inker arrangement ~4 is located imrllecliltel.y adjacent the pl.ate cylinder :12 and jusL in ~ront of tl~e nip de~ined by the cyli.nders 6 and 12 betweell which Lhe web 3 of paper is fed.
A series of fLexible print:lng plates ~6 are attached to the outer surface of the bel.t X and it will ; be appreciated that, on operation o~ the machi.ne, the plates 16 are inked by the arran&ement 1.4 and web 3 is printed on passage between the plate cyli.nder :1.2 and the impression cylinder 6.

After passage through the dryer 18', the web
3 o~ printed paper is fed to an automatic sheeter.
The basic construction of the machine so far clescri.bed is of relativel.y conventi.onal Lorm, altho~l~h :it will be appreciated that the festoone(l na~ure of the 6.
rollers 10,l0' supporLing che belts 8,8' er-able a relatively long belt to be accomrnodate~ in a relatively compact space, while the web 3 of paper is not turned over in its passage between the two printin~ mech~tnisms.
The inventive differences of the illus~ratecl machine over the prior art will now be detailed.
Ihe printing plates 16,16' are all o~ the same size, equivalent to that of a standarcl bingo ticket, and typically each comprise a 30 thou thicl< photopolymer plate fixed by 4 thou thick double-sided adhesive tape to the belts 8,8', which belts may be 1() thou thick polye~ylene terephthalate.
There are eight columns of plates across each belt, belt 8 being of a length to accommodate exactly 600 -rows of plates 16 around its circumference and bQlt 8' being sllghtly longer to accommodate 601 rows of plates 16' thereon. Thus belt 8' is longer than belt 8 by the dep~h of a plate - i.e. l~,inches.
The plates 16 on belt 8, which are all diferent, are each associated wi~h the-printing of a first s~b-area of bingo tickets, said sub-area conveniently comprising the flrst ~hree vertical columns and the last two vertical columns of the tickets. The plates 16' on belt 8', which are again all different, are associated with the printing of the remaining sub-area of the tickets - i.e. the intermediate ive ver~ical columns 7.
of the tickets. It wi11 ol` course be appreciated that the sub-areas printed by the plates 16 anci l6' can be other than as detailed above and can be chosen to suit particular requirements.
On operation of the maciline, the belts, 8,8' and the web 3 of paper are moved at accurateLy controlled speeds carefully related to one another and in such a manner that the web 3 first of all passes between the cylinders 6,12 whereby an ordered sequence of first sub-areas of the eventual bingo tickets are accurately printed thereon by the plates 16. The arrows on the belts 8,8' in Fig. 1 indicate the direction of movement of said belts, while the other arrows (both in full outline and in dotted outline where the web 3 is hidden ; lS from view) indicate the direction of movement of the web 3.
The web 3 is then fed between the rollers 6',12' whereby the remaining sub-areas of the tickets are printed by the plates 16'. The feed of the web 3 and the speed of rotation of the belts 8,8' are such that the printed first sub-areas of the tickets are accurately aligned with associated printing plates 16' on passage between the rollers 6', 12'.
The belts 8,8' are rotated such tha~ the speeds of movement of the plates 16,16' thereon are identical, and it wiLl thus be appreciated that, after one 8.
complete revolution o~ the be~.t ~ to print 4,80() first sub-areas, there is sti.11 one row ot pril-ting plat:es -16' on the belt 8' that has not been used to print remair~ g sub-areas. Conti.nuous rotation o~ the be'Lts 8,8' results in this last row of plates 16' prilltîrlg remaining sub-areas which are combi.ned w-ith first sub-areas printed by the f;rst row o~ pl.ates 16 011 the belt 8. Thus, on every rotation of the helt 8, the rows of printing plates 16' on the be'l.t 8' are disp'Laced by one row relative to the rows o~ printin~
plates 16 on the belt 8. In this way 2~884,800 different combinations of first and remaining sub-areas can be printed w:ithout moving the plates l6 or 1.6' on the belts 8,8'.
Moving the eight columns oE printing plates 16,16' on the belts 8,8' rel.ative to one another after each complete cycle of the machine enables 23,078,400 different tickets to be printed fron- the basi.c 9,608 printing plates.
Bingo tickets are typically l.~inches deep and 'bel.t 8 is therefore 1050inches long, whi].e belt 8' is 1051~;inclles long. ~rhe belts 8,8' are driven at typically 1000 feet per mi.nute, resulting in in excess of eleven complete revoluti.ons of the belts per minute. At such rates, in excess of 23,000,000 tickets can be printed in about 7 llours oE working time of the machine, such vast 9.
