Description

The The invention relates to a passport with a laserable personalization page and a fleece insert as a bent edge.

In the EP01516749A2 , Mitterhofer et al (Austria Card plastic cards and Ausweisysteme GmbH, Vienna; "passport with plasticized personalization page and method of making a passport with plasticized personalization page", priority: 19.09.2003) becomes a passport with plasticized personalization page and / or plasticized intent, as well another Passbuchinnenbögen, which are connected to each other in the central region and there form a kink or folding edge, which allows turning over or folding over of the individual pages, called the kink or folding edge formed only by the paper substrate of the Personalisierseite. In this area, a seam for joining the sides of the passport is arranged and the edge portion of the paper substrate is piece-wise armored by the laminated films and protected against delamination.

In This document uses a paper personalization page and the paper used as a bending joint in the seam area. Even if this kind of production with conventional passports paper pages are an excellent option For manufacturing, there is the problem that the paper tearing in the area of the bending joint.

In the WO27131383A1 , Bürkli et al (Landgart; "Flexible layer structure with integrated circuit", priority: 17.05.2006) is called a flexible multi-layer structure with RFID chip and antenna, wherein RFID chip and antenna are integrated into the multi-layer structure so that they do not apply and wherein at least one of the layers consists of a nonwoven fabric or an open-cell foam whose cavities are filled with a flexible thermoplastic adhesive.

In the EP01382011B1 Rancien et al (Arjo Wiggins Security SAS; Priority: Apr. 26, 2001) discloses a multilayer structure which forms an envelope for a booklet, in particular a passport, the multilayer structure being intended to to be folded as a fold of the envelope. The materials forming the individual layers of the multilayer structure and the thickness of these layers are chosen such that the cover is resistant to mechanical and thermal shocks.

In the EP01008459B1 Wesselink (Enschede / Sdu BV, "Method for manufacturing a booklet, booklet manufactured according to the method and booklet", Priority: 13.12.1998) discloses a method of making a booklet, such as a passport, in which a Volume is fixed in the booklet, as the other leaves and on this band at least partially made of plastic plate is attached.

In the EP00936976B1 , Almgren et. al. (Setec oy; "Passport", Priority: 01.11.1996) is a passport with a page of information from a thermosetting plastic, such as polycarbonate, called, which is individualized with laser entries.

In the EP01245407B1 , Syrjänen et. al. (Setec oy, "Data Sheet"; Priority: 30.03.2001) describes a layer-structured and flexible data sheet of a security document exemplarily including an upper laser-capable polycarbonate layer, wherein an inner laminate layer of, for example, Teslin molecularly having a backside layer For example, HDPE is connected.

Out The prior art passports are known, which are made of conventional Security paper sheets with a corresponding graphic Design to be made into a booklet, the individual sheets from the passport booklet to the personalization sheet and the various Passbuchinnenbögen usually collected in multiple use, folded, sewn and be punched out.

The Lamination of such sheets in a heating-cooling transfer press also belongs to the state of the art in card production. The lamination process in a heating-cooling transfer press relies on the melting of the thermoplastic substrates. Usually can thus thermoplastic films without adhesion promoter be connected to each other.

For PC films, lamination temperatures of 190 to 200 ° C are usually required. For various reasons, it may be advantageous to use a primer, which is usually one by some 10 degrees lower lamination temperatures, thereby reducing, for example, the thermal stress of printing inks.

task The present invention is the inexpensive production a laserpersonalisierbaren page of a passport while maintaining the usual manufacturing processes in binding a Passport and in use, especially at the opening and when closing a passport without substantial Wear of the bending edge.

The Task is solved by the technical teaching of claim 1.

essential Feature of the invention is a passport with a plasticized Personalization page for laser personalization and a procedure for the production. This is a special lamination process in Multiple benefits used, with a usual in the card lamination area Laminate construction is used. Be in the seam area of the passport the various plastic films provided with recesses and at least in this exposed area becomes a tear-resistant non-woven element inserted and then laminated and trimmed bordering or punched out.

By this type of manufacture is not a change in the seaming process required and it becomes the usual bending flexibility reached a passport book. The plasticized personalization page enables both individual personalization by means of Laser of a finished passport as well as the installation of a machine-readable Integrated circuit (IC's) with a contactless data transmission device.

According to the invention a laminate structure in the multiple use chosen, as in customary for the production of credit cards or ID cards is. Polycarbonate films or polycarbonate precursor layers are preferred used, since usually a lifetime of at least 10 years for a passport.

Under a Polycarbonatvorverbundlage is understood as an example of a Vorverbund with integrated RFID system. In particular, ICAO 9303 MRTD (Machine Readable Travel Documents) compliant RFID systems according to the ISO 14443 Understood. Such pre-composite sheets can be used, for example, in the 8 to 16-fold benefit in the format of typically about 520 x 620 mm and have a thickness of typically less than 500 microns.

According to the invention, a fleece insert with the following properties is used for the bent edge:

• - Only as a strip - preferred, for the purpose of fusion, with or without recesses
• - Full surface - preferred, for the purpose of fusion, with or without recesses
• - Nonwoven: by way of example the Freudenberg product having a weight per unit area of 60 to 100 g / m ² , in particular 75 g / m ²
• - Nonwoven: preferably a polyester nonwoven with long fibers
• Fleece: usual non-wovens have better tear resistance in one direction; These should be arranged on the passbook page, so be resistant to lateral tearing
• - Inlay of the web such that the most possible flat location of Personalisierseite is achieved

punching of the multiple arch in the area of the fleece by means of corresponding hold-downs.

In a preferred embodiment, the nonwoven insert or the nonwoven strip has the following properties: 1. Thermally bonded polyester nonwoven fabric 2. basis weight: 75 gr / m ² 3rd thickness: 0.110 mm 4. maximum tensile force: 150 N / 5 cm along 250 N / 5 cm across 5. Maximum tensile strength elongation: 14% along 20% across

With the use of a thermally bonded polyester nonwoven fabric becomes the main advantage achieves a maximum tensile force of 150 N / 5 cm in the longitudinal direction and 250 N / 5 cm in the transverse direction is achieved. Furthermore, the above-mentioned maximum tensile elongations are achieved, which means that a nonwoven strip used according to the invention has an extraordinarily long service life, high buckling stability, high tear resistance and a low basis weight.

One significant advantage of using a nonwoven strip is that he is excellent sewable and therefore also at Passing through seams a corresponding Retains tensile strength.

This is in conventional plastic films, otherwise after the The prior art used as a bending edge, not the case. In such plastic films, which with textile seams are interspersed, there is a risk that they tear in the seam area and thus become useless.

By the use of a nonwoven strip yields the essential Advantage that due to the irregular and unregulated position of the individual non-woven fibers care is worn that the nonwoven strip neither in the longitudinal direction can still be torn apart in the transverse direction. It results So an extremely high longitudinal and Transverse tear, leading to the described high durability and buckling stability of the invention Fleece strip leads.

Important is that the fleece strips with a particularly favorable Manufacturing process and fastening methods in the card composite the data card are introduced.

To For this purpose, it is provided that the nonwoven strips edge are provided with recesses. The so prepared fleece stripes are combined from the multiple arcs of the data card inserted. The strips are here for attachment in the middle part the unfolded arcs of the data card before their final lamination, for example with ultrasound, z. B. on the surface on one of Inner layers attached.

If the fixation thus produced took place in an in-sheet position has, the other layers of the bow are reissued, so that The fleece strip is approximately in the middle of the bow the data card is located and preliminary by the previously specified ultrasonic welding points.

After that comes the entire bow, consisting of a variety of superimposed Laying with the fleece stripe provisionally fixed between them in a conventional laminating and is laminated there. A part of the nonwoven strip protrudes from the edge of the sheet out and will not be laminated. This untreated part forms later the crease.

by virtue of the melting of the layers during the lamination process therefore penetrates the upper layer of the bow, which is directly above the Fleece strip lies, partly through the recesses of the nonwoven strip through towards the lower layer and connects to this. On this way is thus the fleece strip between the two, so to speak Wrapped layers, in the area of the recesses.

It is therefore no longer possible due to the welding the nonwoven strip in the space or in the interior of the individual Discharge sheets of the data sheet of this data sheet again. The fleece strip can not be torn out because it is due to its recesses of the heat-meltable Material of the above and below bows is interspersed and the individual bows can also Do not be delaminated because they are due to the welding process inseparable and inseparable from each other. It This results in an extraordinarily high security against counterfeiting, because the data card thus produced with the laminated there Fleece strip is not separable.

Another Advantage in the use of a non-woven strip preferably with a Thickness of about 0.110 mm is the good bending possibility, d. H. It only requires a small buckling force to the entire Passbook to bend and fold. In the conventional Plastic films according to the prior art, which the creases training, namely the disadvantage that this relatively are rigid and therefore the passbook so fanned out inclines. This is perceived by the wearer as unpleasant.

at the use of a fleece, it is the rest to the other Increase in counterfeit security possible, in to incorporate the nonwoven fabric security threads that be incorporated immediately in the production. This will be the security against counterfeiting even further increased. Such Security threads can z. B. fluorescent Be threads, which is a separation of this nonwoven strip and a subsequent reconnect feature and in the make ultraviolet light visible.

One another advantage of using a nonwoven strip instead of a conventional fabric strip results from if tissue strips were used, the The disadvantage is that such fabric strips fixed edge side Need to become. The edges of the fabric are prone to fraying, so that such a fabric, for example, peripherally circulating thermal must be fixed.

This is not necessary when using a nonwoven strip; it requires no edge-side fixation of the nonwoven fibers because due the high tear resistance and the manufacturer already thermal hardening of the material a fraying in the edge region is not expected.

Furthermore has a fleece, which in the lamination in the liners of a Data sheet is inserted and fixed there, the further advantage that it is relatively thermostable. So it tends to temperature not to warp or shrink, possibly in tissue structures is the case. It stays during the Laminating process thermostable, especially when as a nonwoven material a thermally consolidated polyester nonwoven fabric is used.

In order to The nonwoven strip used also has a high long-term stability based on different temperature influences in the later Passport.

Of the Advantage of the non-woven strip makes itself in particular in comparison noticeable with a strip of paper, which is also instead of a non-woven strip could be used.

It It is known that the paper strip during the lamination process does not warp, but the plastic material of the one above the other lying plastic sheets during the lamination process slightly shrinks, the inserted and fixed there Paper strip but does not join in this shrinkage. Hence comes it causes a crumpling of the inserted paper strip, what with a non-woven strip is not the case. The fleece strip makes the thermal expansions of the plastic material used with, so that he remains extremely dimensionally stable.

Of the Subject of the present invention does not arise only from the subject matter of the individual claims, but also from the combination of the individual claims among themselves.

All in the documents, including the abstract Information and features, in particular those shown in the drawings Spatial training, are claimed as essential to the invention, as far as they are individually or in combination with the stand new to the technology.

in the Below, the invention will be described with reference to only one embodiment illustrative drawings explained in more detail. in this connection go from the drawings and their description further essential to the invention Features and advantages of the invention.

It demonstrate:

1 : Top view of a multiple utility for making a data card for a passport

2 : Cut through a data card

3 : Top view of a data card as a dual-use

4 : Cut through a pass when unfolded

5 : enlarged partial section through a nonwoven strip according to 4

In 1 is as multiple benefits 1 a series of superimposed arches, their composition and type based on the 2 will be described in more detail.

It is important that in this multiple use a series of slot-shaped punched 2 are present, which form the recesses into which the nonwoven strips 4 be inserted, these punched out 2 fill in and cover. These portions of the nonwoven strips in the die-cut portions of the multiple-use are not laminated with other sheets in the later lamination.

Likewise shows the 1 that each approximately strip-shaped over the entire width of the Mehrfachnutzens 1 extending nonwoven strip 4 each the punched out 2 cover. Furthermore, the shows 1 that the fleece strips 4 , which are rectangular strips across the width of the multiple use 1 extend, recesses 5 have, at any point below the punched out 2 can be arranged.

The 1 shows that the recesses over the entire length of the nonwoven strips 4 can extend or that these recesses 5 may be only partially present.

These Recesses may have any shape, d. H. They can be round, angular, oval or otherwise be educated.

The 2 shows the structure of a data page 15 that come from the multiple benefits 1 was won. It can be seen that, starting from an upper, transparent cover layer 6 a printed sheet 7 is placed on either the top and / or bottom of a printed image 8th can carry.

Under the print sheet 7 there is a laserable plastic sheet 9 and this forms - in the unlaminated state - like the 2 shows a gap 10 to the adjoining pre-laminated bow 12 ,

The nonwoven strips according to the invention 4 are in the space between the laserable plastic sheet 9 and the pre-laminated sheet 12 inserted.

2 also shows that in the area of the prelaminated sheet 12 a contactless chip 13 is embedded and possibly still the coil windings 11 an antenna coil can be provided.

On the pre-laminated sheet 12 then closes again a laserable plastic sheet 9 on, and this laser-capable plastic sheet 9 is at the bottom by a cover layer 14 covered. It can either be the laserable plastic sheet 9 and / or the topsheet 14 a printed image 8th wear.

The printed image 8th is either on top of the top layer 14 or on the underside of the laserable plastic sheet 9 , The top layer 14 can also be equipped with laser capability.

Importantly, when laminating such a data page 15 the plastic from the laserable plastic sheet 9 through the recesses 5 of the non-woven strip 4 towards the underlying pre-laminated bow 12 flows and mixes with the plastic of this prelaminated arc 12 combines.

This also disappears the gap 10 and the layers are welded together. This is the fleece strip 4 Inseparable and inseparable in the map network of the data page 15 integrated.

The 3 shows that a finished pass is achieved by stacking a plurality of layers, based on the 4 be shown in more detail, wherein the stacking takes place in a double benefit. Among other things, you can see the data pages 15 , and one recognizes by the punching lines 16 where later the finished passport is punched out.

Important is that at the top of each data page 15 the non-woven material consisting of a nonwoven material - preferably a thermally bonded polyester nonwoven - existing nonwoven strip 4 Looks like this in 3 is shown.

The processing of a data page 15 takes place according to 4 as follows:
The proportions in 4 are drawn to scale, and are shown in exaggerated thickness. It is therefore not possible to infer how thick the individual layers are in reality. The 4 Therefore, only schematically shows the structure of a passport, where it can be seen that the data page 15 with the front side outstanding fleece strip 4 used so that the fleece strip 4 is bent and this is a bending edge 17 forms. In the area of the bend edge 17 will now be a variety of paper pages 24 of the pass and with the help of a textile seam 18 sewn, but this seam only in the range of paper sheets 22 going in, in conjunction with overlying Einbandlagen 21 the front and back lids 19 . 20 of the passport.

Now be the two lids 19 . 20 in the direction of the arrows 23 closed against each other, is thus the passport book produced.

It can be seen that the only bending forces only on the folded non-woven strip 4 act, which means that the fleece strip 4 is particularly good kinking ability, has a long service life, is excellent tear-resistant and, moreover, has superior properties over other plastic films and fabric strips.

This is evident 5 where it can be seen that the fleece strip 4 consists of a variety of microscopically in non-directional directions stacked nonwoven fibers, resulting in the high resistance to tearing and kinking.

It goes without saying that the sheets used in the area of the data card can be provided with security printing with CLIs, with MLIs and the like kinegrams, microfonts and the like. Likewise, embossing and embossing can be applied in the area of this data page. This is all known to those skilled in the art, and in the present invention, in particular, the improvement of the buckling stability of the buckling edge 17 in the area of a passport book.

Furthermore The invention also includes a double-sided data page in which the connection between two adjacent data pages by one continuous nonwoven strip is achieved. That passport would So then include two data pages that are complementary complement each other, and with each other through the nonwoven strip connected in both the one data page and in the other data side is laminated.
