Definitions
- the invention relates to a card made of thermoplastic with safety signs that are visually perceptible at a suitable viewing angle.
- a card of this type is known from DE-A-2 659 639.
- Cards are therefore already known which are designed as composite cards, a security paper layer being enclosed between two plastic layers (cf. FR-A-2 176 463). Cards of this type are relatively expensive to produce and, in particular, do not offer any security because separation along the paper layer is easily possible.
- Fig. 1 the basic structure of the plastic card from two half parts 2 and 3 is shown. A relief structure is embossed in each of these half parts before assembly.
- the relief in the half-part 3 is preferably embossed in such a way that the total amount of material remains constant and there is only a shift in the amount of material from the areas 5 to the areas 4. This means that the average thickness over the areas 4 and 5 provided with a relief structure is equal to the thickness of the rest of the map.
- the other half part 2 is provided with a corresponding, opposing embossing, the embossing mold used for this purpose being preferably electrolytically molded from the first embossing mold. The two half parts are then inseparably formed into a single part by laminating.
- the plastic molecules polymerize at least in the unprinted areas, so that a molecular connection is formed which makes separation impossible.
- graphic patterns are now printed on the inner interfaces, which, together with the relief structure, form visual security features.
- the surfaces of the assembled card 1 are flat and can be printed or coated in a conventional manner. The characteristic mark is completely inaccessible in the card.
- the relief-like interface which arises with the aid of the explained procedure within the card 1, is equipped for the identification of the card in supervision. If this is to be associated with see-through marking in the manner of a watermark, then one half part must continue to be made from transparent, the other from opaque thermoplastic.
- FIGS. 2 and 3 A linear relief structure on a half part 3 is shown in FIG. 2.
- This structure is printed with a color strip 8, which runs in a straight line in vertical supervision.
- the half part 3 designed in this way becomes a card with an opposite, transparent half part (not shown) united, of which a section is shown schematically in FIG. 3.
- the vertical view is shown in FIG. 3a.
- the straight line grid 8 can be seen. Since the half part 3 consists of a thermoplastic material with an increased light absorption coefficient in comparison to the other, opposite half part, the light absorption in the view is greater at the points 4 of greater (averaged) thickness or at the points 5 smaller (averaged) thickness smaller than in the remaining places.
- a darkened area 4 which is surrounded by lighter areas 5, can thus be seen in the view. If the map is now viewed in an oblique view, as shown in FIG. 3b, the line pattern 8 appears slightly wavy and the darkened or raised areas 4 and 5 disappear. This creates a double effect of supervisory labeling and transparency labeling. This combination of inspection and supervisory labeling increases the difficulty of counterfeiting such cards and therefore further increases their security.
- FIGS. 4 and 5 Other possible configurations of the invention are shown on the basis of FIGS. 4 and 5, which allow identification in particular in the supervision.
- a variant of this configuration is shown in section in FIG. 4.
- the interface between the two half parts 2 and 3 each has a linear grid-shaped relief structure. This is provided with a printed pattern on one of the half parts, the appearance of which changes in the top view and in the view depending on the viewing angle.
- This variant is based on a relief structure which has at least approximately a rectangular shape 9.
- the side flanks and valley bottoms are provided with a color layer 10, while the tops remain free of color.
- the color areas 10 are essentially perceptible as lines, while in oblique view they merge to form a continuous color area. If colors with low light transmission are used, a different brightness is determined in the view depending on the view angle. When viewed vertically, greater belliness is perceived than when viewed diagonally.
- gaps 13 are provided as an additional security feature in the printing just explained, which are arranged in certain directions in a line. In supervision this is not noticeable if this structure is sufficiently finely decorated. However, if a flat viewing angle is selected, then bright alleys appear in a dark environment. This effect, which is known per se from banknotes, but where an uneven surface is assumed, can easily be used in the manner explained as an additional security feature for flat all-plastic types.
- FIG. 6 shows an embodiment whose relief structure essentially has a triangular shape 11 in cross section.
- One flank 12 is provided with a color layer 12, while the other flank is free of color.
- a changed appearance of the print pattern becomes visible, namely changing between a mere dash pattern (arrow on the left in FIG. 6) to a continuous colored area (arrow on the right in FIG. 6).
- the perceptible brightness behaves asymmetrically if a color with low light transmission is used. If the card is tilted on the one side from a vertical view, the brightness increases, but when it is tilted on the other side it decreases.
- This easily ascertainable security feature cannot be imitated by means of external counterfeiting measures, such as external imprints, and on the other hand, since it is located on the inside of the card, manipulations are inaccessible.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Karte aus thermoplastischem Kunststoff mit bei geeignetem Betrachtungswinkel visuell wahrnehmbaren Sicherheitszeichen gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Eine derartige Karte ist aus der DE-A-2 659 639 bekannt.The invention relates to a card made of thermoplastic with safety signs that are visually perceptible at a suitable viewing angle. A card of this type is known from DE-A-2 659 639.
In neuerer Zeit haben bedruckte Karten aus Kunststoff weite Verbreitung als Kredit-, Geldsubstrat- und Ausweiskarten gefunden, welche eine Dienstleistung vermitteln, einen Wert repräsentieren oder ein Zutrittsrecht beinhalten. Die den Träger identifizierende Teilinformation sowie die Merkmale, welche die Karte einer bestimmten Organisation oder einem System zuordnen, sind in Form von Aufdrucken, Prägungen, Stanzungen oder Magnet-, Laser- oder holographischen Informationen auf der Karte angeordnet. Dabei ist es nun relativ einfach, die äussere Erscheinung solcher Karten nachzubilden. Es ist einleuchtend, dass damit die Möglichkeit des Missbrauches solcher Karten, welche mehr und mehr den Bargeldverkehr ersetzen, besteht, ohne dass hierfür ein allzu grosser Aufwand nötig ist. Dabei hat insbesondere das Publikum keine Möglichkeit, sich von der Echtheit einer solchen Karte zu überzeugen.Recently, printed cards made of plastic have found widespread use as credit, money substrate and identification cards which convey a service, represent a value or contain an access right. The partial information identifying the carrier and the features which assign the card to a specific organization or system are arranged on the card in the form of imprints, embossings, die-cuts or magnetic, laser or holographic information. It is now relatively easy to recreate the appearance of such cards. It is obvious that there is the possibility of misusing such cards, which are increasingly replacing cash transactions, without requiring too much effort. The public in particular has no way of convincing themselves of the authenticity of such a card.
Es sind deshalb bereits Karten bekannt, die als Verbundkarten ausgestaltet sind, wobei eine Sicherheitspapierschicht zwischen zwei Kunststoffschichten eingeschlossen ist (vgl. FR-A-2 176 463). Derartige Karten sind relativ teuer in der Herstellung und bieten insbesondere deshalb keine Sicherheit, weil eine Auftrennung entlang der Papierschicht leicht möglich ist.Cards are therefore already known which are designed as composite cards, a security paper layer being enclosed between two plastic layers (cf. FR-A-2 176 463). Cards of this type are relatively expensive to produce and, in particular, do not offer any security because separation along the paper layer is easily possible.
Deshalb sind insbesondere mit erhöhten Bedruckungen bzw. Prägungen versehene Papiere, wie sie zur Aufsichtskennzeichnung etwa aus FR-A-2 331 451 oder DE-A-1 771 453 an sich bekannt sind, zur Einlagerung als Sicherheitsmerkmale in Kunststoffkarten nicht geeignet. Es ist auch nicht erwünscht, solche Strukturen direkt auf die Kartenaussenflächen aufzubringen, weil sie dann unerlaubten Manipulationen offen stehen und durch Abnutzung sowie Verschmutzung ihre Wirkung einbüssen. Die Maschinenlesbarkeit erfordert ebenfalls Karten mit im wesentlichen ebenen Oberflächen.For this reason, papers provided with increased printing or embossing, as are known per se for supervisory identification, for example from FR-A-2 331 451 or DE-A-1 771 453, are not suitable for storage as security features in plastic cards. It is also not desirable to apply such structures directly to the card outer surfaces, because they are then open to unauthorized manipulation and lose their effect due to wear and soiling. Machine readability also requires cards with essentially flat surfaces.
Es stellt sich damit die Aufgabe, eine Vollkunststoffkarte mit den eingangs genannten, visuell wahrnehmbaren Sicherheitsmerkmalen zu schaffen, welche ebene Oberflächen und keine Einlagerungen aus Papier oder anderen Fremdmaterialien aufweist.It is therefore the task of creating an all-plastic card with the visually perceptible security features mentioned at the outset, which has flat surfaces and no deposits made of paper or other foreign materials.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss durch die Merkmale gemäss Anspruch 1 gelöst.According to the invention, this object is achieved by the features according to claim 1.
Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen mittels der beiliegenden Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Darin zeigen:
- - Fig. 1 a und b den grundsätzlichen Aufbau der Karte aus zwei mit Reliefstrukturen versehenen Halbteilen,
- - Fig. 2 eine perspektivische vergrösserte Ansicht eines bedruckten Halbteils mit wellenartiger Reliefstruktur,

In Fig. 1 ist zunächst der grundsätzliche Aufbau der Kunststoffkarte aus zwei Halbteilen 2 und 3 gezeigt. In jeden dieser Halbteile wird vor dem Zusammenfügen eine Reliefstruktur geprägt.In Fig. 1, the basic structure of the plastic card from two
Die Prägung des Reliefs im Halbteil 3 erfolgt vorzugsweise derart, dass die gesamte Materialmenge konstant bleibt und nur eine Materialmengenverschiebung aus den Bereichen 5 in die Bereiche 4 stattfindet. Dies bedeutet, dass die mittlere Dicke über die mit einer Reliefstruktur versehenen Bereiche 4 und 5 gleich der Dicke der restlichen Karte ist. Der andere Halbteil 2 wird mit einer entsprechenden, gegengleichen Prägung versehen, wobei die hierzu verwendete Prägeform vorzugsweise von der ersten Prägeform elektrolytisch abgeformt ist. Die beiden Halbteile werden dann durch Laminage untrennbar zu einem einzigen Teil homogen zusammengeformt. Entlang der mit der Reliefstruktur versehenen Grenzfläche der beiden Halbteile findet dabei mindestens in den unbedruckten Bereichen eine Polymerisation der Kunststoffmoleküle statt, so dass eine molekulare Verbindung entsteht, die ein Auftrennen verunmöglicht. Auf die inneren Grenzflächen sind nun graphische Muster aufgedruckt, wie noch zu erläutern ist, die zusammen mit der Reliefstruktur visuelle Sicherheftskennzeichen bilden. Die Oberflächen der zusammengefügten Karte 1 sind plan und können in herkömmlicher Weise bedruckt oder beschichtet werden. Das charakteristische Kennzeichen ist dabei vollständig unzugänglich in der Karte eingeschlossen.The relief in the half-
Die reliefartige Grenzfläche, welche mit Hilfe des erläuterten Vorgehens innerhalb der Karte 1 entsteht, ist zur Kennzeichnung der Karte in Aufsicht ausgestattet. Soll dies mit Durchsichtskennzeichnung in der Art eines Wasserzeichens verbunden sein, so ist weiterhin der eine Halbteil aus transparentem, der andere aus opakem thermoplastischem Kunststoff anzufertigen.The relief-like interface, which arises with the aid of the explained procedure within the card 1, is equipped for the identification of the card in supervision. If this is to be associated with see-through marking in the manner of a watermark, then one half part must continue to be made from transparent, the other from opaque thermoplastic.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel, welches dies illustriert, ist in den Fig. 2 und 3 gezeigt. In Fig. 2 ist eine linienartig aufgebaute Reliefstruktur an einem Halbteil 3 gezeigt. Diese Struktur ist mit einem Farbstreifen 8 bedruckt, der in senkrechter Aufsicht geradlinig verläuft. Der so ausgestaltete Halbteil 3 wird mit einem gegengleichen, transparenten Halbteil (nicht dargestellt) zu einer Karte vereinigt, von welcher in Fig. 3 schematisch ein Abschnitt dargestellt ist. In Fig. 3a ist die senkrechte Durchsicht dargestellt. Erkennbar ist einerseits das gerade Linienraster 8. Da der Halbteil 3 aus einem thermoplastischen Kunststoff mit erhöhtem Lichtabsorptionskoeffizienten im Vergleich zum anderen, gegengleichen Halbteil besteht, ist die Lichtabsorption in der Durchsicht an den Stellen 4 grösserer (gemittelter) Dicke grösser bzw. an den Stellen 5 kleinerer (gemittelter) Dicke kleiner als an den restlichen Stellen. Neben dem Linienraster 8 ist damit in der Durchsicht eine verdunkelte Stelle 4, die von helleren Stellen 5 umgeben ist, zu sehen. Wird die Karte nun in schräger Aufsicht betrachtet, wie dies in Fig. 3b gezeigt ist, so erscheint das Linienmuster 8 leicht gewellt und die verdunkelten bzw. aufgehelften Stellen 4 und 5 verschwinden. Damit entsteht ein Doppeleffekt von Aufsichtskennzeichnung und Durchsichtskennzeichnung. Diese Verbindung von Durchsichts- und Aufsichtskennzeichnung erhöht die Schwierigkeit der Fälschung solcher Karten und vergrössert deshalb deren Sicherheit weiter.An embodiment which illustrates this is shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. A linear relief structure on a
Anhand der Figuren 4 und 5 sind andere, mögliche Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung gezeigt, welche insbesondere in der Aufsicht eine Kennzeichnung erlauben. In Fig. 4 ist eine Variante dieser Ausgestaltung im Schnitt gezeigt. Die Grenzfläche zwischen den beiden Halbteilen 2 und 3 weist jeweils eine linienrasterförmige Reliefstruktur auf. Diese wird auf einem der Halbteile mit einem Druckmuster versehen, dessen Erscheinung sich in der Aufsicht und in der Durchsicht je nach dem Betrachtungswinkel ändert. Diese Variante beruht auf einer Reliefstruktur, welche mindestens angenähert eine Rechteckform 9 aufweist. Die Seitenflanken sowie Talsohlen sind dabei mit einer Farbschicht 10 versehen, während die Kuppen frei von Farbe bleiben. In der senkrechten Aufsicht sind die Farbflächen 10 im wesentlichen als Striche wahrnehmbar, während sie sich in schräger Aufsicht zu einer durchgehenden Farbfläche zusammenschliessen. Werden Farben mit kleiner Lichtdurchlässigkeit verwendet, so wird in der Durchsicht je nach Durchsichtswinkel eine unterschiedliche Helligkeit festgestellt. Bei senkrechter Durchsicht wird demzufolge eine grössere Belligkeit wahrgenommen als bei schräger Durchsicht.Other possible configurations of the invention are shown on the basis of FIGS. 4 and 5, which allow identification in particular in the supervision. A variant of this configuration is shown in section in FIG. 4. The interface between the two
In einer leicht abgewandelten Ausführung gemäss der Fig. 5a und b sind als zusätzliches Sicherheitsmerkmal Lücken 13 in der eben erläuterten Bedruckung vorgesehen, welche in bestimmten Richtungen in Linie angeordnet sind. In Aufsicht fällt dies nicht auf, wenn diese Struktur genügend fein ausgestattet ist. Wird jedoch ein flacher Betrachtungswinkel gewählt, so erscheinen deutlich helle Gassen in dunkler Umgebung. Dieser an sich von Banknoten her bekannte Effekt, wo allerdings eine unebene Oberfläche vorausgesetzt wird, lässt sich auf die erläuterte Weise ohne weiteres als zusätzliches Sicherheitsmerkmal bei ebenen Vollkunststoffarten anwenden.In a slightly modified embodiment according to FIGS. 5a and b,
In Fig. 6 ist schliesslich eine Ausführung dargestellt, deren Reliefstruktur im Querschnitt im wesentlichen eine Dreiecksform 11 besitzt. Die eine Flanke 12 ist mit einer Farbschicht 12 versehen, während die andere Flanke frei von Farbe ist. Wiederum wird je nach Aufsichtswinkel ein verändertes Erscheinungsbild des Druckmusters sichtbar, und zwar ändernd zwischen blossem Strichmuster (Pfeil links in Fig. 6) bis zu einer durchgehenden Farbfläche (Pfeil rechts in Fig. 6). In der Durchsicht verhält sich die wahrnehmbare Helligkeit asymmetrisch, falls eine Farbe mit geringer Lichtdurchlässigkeit verwendet wird. Wird die Karte ausgehend von der senkrechten Durchsicht auf die eine Seite geneigt, so nimmt die Helligkeit zu, bei Neigung auf die andere Seite nimmt sie dagegen ab. Dieses einfach feststellbare Sicherheitsmerkmal ist mittels äusserer Fälschungsmassnahmen, wie äusseren Aufdrucken, etc. nicht zu imitieren und ist andererseits, da im Innern der Karte befindlich, Manipulationen unzugänglich.Finally, FIG. 6 shows an embodiment whose relief structure essentially has a
Es versteht sich von selbst, dass die ebenen Oberflächen derart gebildeter Kunststoffkarten in der bekannten Weise bedruckt sein können. Für die Kennzeichnung nach der beschriebenen Art sind dann an den entsprechenden Stellen Fenster im Aufdruck vorzusehen. Ferner können Teile der Karteninformation auch im Druckmuster an der Grenzfläche vorhanden sein.It goes without saying that the flat surfaces of plastic cards formed in this way can be printed in the known manner. For labeling according to the type described, windows should then be provided in the print at the appropriate points. Furthermore, parts of the map information can also be present in the print pattern at the interface.
Die beschriebene Anordnung mit einer reliefartig ausgebildeten, mit einem Druckmuster versehenen Grenzfläche zwischen zwei Kartenteilen, welche untrennbar verbunden werden, ergibt, wie oben dargestellt, mannigfache vorteilhafte Möglichkeiten der visuellen Sicherung derartiger Karten, welche bisher nicht gegeben waren. Dabei bleiben absolut plane Oberflächen erhalten. Prägungen in der Karte führen nicht zu einer Wölbung, wie dies bei den bisher bekannten Verbundkarten der Fall war. Die Sicherheilsmerkmale sind Manipulationen unzugänglich.The arrangement described with a relief-like interface provided with a printed pattern between two card parts, which are inseparably connected, results, as shown above, in numerous advantageous ways of visually securing cards of this type, which were not previously available. Absolutely flat surfaces are preserved. Embossments in the card do not lead to a curvature, as was the case with the previously known composite cards. The security features are inaccessible to manipulation.
