Definitions
- the invention relates to a security element, in particular for banknotes, which has a carrier material and a magnetic code and / or an independent code based on electrical conductivity, hereinafter referred to as conductivity code, and furthermore an optical code.
- the invention further relates to a security document, in particular a bank note, with such a security element.
- the security element is in particular a security thread.
- Security threads are used as a security feature in a wide variety of products, especially in security papers.
- One of the most well-known applications to which the highest security requirements are placed is the embedding of the security thread in banknote paper, the optical code in most cases forming a positive or negative writing that can be checked with transmitted light with the naked eye.
- the optical code can also or additionally be a code that can be checked with optical devices, in particular a bar code (WO 99/28852).
- the security thread is usually equipped with additional security features in addition to the optical code, in particular with an electrically conductive coating and / or a coating with magnetic properties, these coatings being arranged one above the other.
- These security features are checked by machine and are therefore also referred to as “machine features”.
- the optical code is mostly formed by the machine internal cranks themselves, in that the associated coatings either form a positive font or - due to corresponding recesses in the coatings - form a negative font.
- the generation of the optical code consists in partially demetallizing a metallized thread, the overlying layer with magnetic properties either being removed (EP 0 748 896 A1) or so is ordered that it does not interfere with the demetallizing zones, or is applied so thinly that the demetallized areas of the security thread are visually recognizable in transmitted light despite the magnetic layer present (EP 0498 186 AI).
- the electrically conductive coating can also be used as an ink containing metal pigment, e.g. Silver bronze, can be applied (EP 0516 790 B1, Figure 8).
- the magnetic layer can also be made electrically conductive by admixing soot particles, so that by printing a single layer all three security features - magnetic, electrically conductive, negative writing - are generated simultaneously.
- This magnetic code can consist of magnetic material or of material that can be detected by means of magnetoresistors (EP 0 610917 AI), the code not only due to the local material distribution, but also due to different magnetoresistive properties (EP 0610 917 AI) or different magnetic layer thicknesses (EP 0 914970 A2) or different magnetic properties, such as remanence properties or coercivity (WO 99/28852) can be detected.
- the magnetic coating can have a corresponding lettering, which is printed on the magnetic layer by means of conventional printing ink (EP 0 610 917 AI, EP 0 748896 AI).
- a general concern with security threads is that potential counterfeiters should not become aware of the presence of the machine features. However, this cannot be avoided without further ado, since a magnetic coating usually has a completely different appearance than an electrically conductive, metallic, shiny metal coating.
- WO 99/28852 therefore proposes to arrange the magnetic layer and the freshly conductive metal layer one above the other in register, so that they completely hide one another.
- this measure is only successful if the security thread is viewed from only one side or at least has an opaque base material.
- the security thread is usually transparent, so that there would be a different appearance depending on the viewing side.
- EP 0 516790 B1 and EP 0 748 896 A1 it is proposed in EP 0 516790 B1 and EP 0 748 896 A1 to completely cover the magnetic coating on both sides with the electrically conductive material, so that the paper has a uniform appearance in incident and transmitted light.
- EP 0 914970 A2 proposes to "mask" a magnetic bar code by masking bars from the area between the magnetic bars.
- same magnetic material can be provided, which differ from the bars forming the magnetic code only in the material thickness - and thus in the intensity of the magnetic feature.
- a potential counterfeiter is optically misled by this, since he will initially assume that the marking bars are part of the magnetic code.
- the production quality of the security thread and the quality of the measuring device for checking the security thread have to meet very high requirements so that the marking bars are reliably recognized as such and are not assigned to the magnetic code.
- the concealment of the security features of the security element according to the invention is based, inter alia, on the fact that different security features are applied to a carrier material and that these different security features are formed by materials that cannot be distinguished from one another optically, that is to say with the naked eye.
- the carrier material can be an opaque or transparent material, preferably plastic, particularly preferably transparent plastic.
- the concealment according to the invention is based on the fact that in addition to the technically testable security features (“machine features”), that is to say in addition to the coating with the electrically conductive material and / or the coating with the magnetic material, a further coating is provided, which is not just the has characteristic physical properties of the machine features, which is therefore not electrically conductive or does not have the special magnetic properties.
- This additional coating of "neutral" material at least also covers areas of the security element that are not covered by the machine features. Since the viewer cannot distinguish between the individual materials, a visually recognizable pattern results, for example a bar code or a combination of characters (hereinafter: “optical code”), which is formed by an overview of the areas covered by machine features and the areas covered by the neutral material. The viewer remains concealed whether and where in the optical code there may be machine features.
- optical code a combination of characters
- the machine feature areas and the areas of the security element covered with neutral material can be present separately from one another.
- a more effective obfuscation arises, however, if the regions adjoin one another or preferably overlap one another in part or, if appropriate, completely.
- the security element is a security thread and that each longitudinal section of the security thread is provided with at least one of the coding materials, so that the security thread extends over its entire length optically identical material is coated.
- This continuous coating preferably has cutouts in the form of negative writing as optical code. In this case, the viewer will initially believe that he has a conventional, fully coated security thread that has the typical recesses in the form of negative writing.
- the production of the security element according to the invention is particularly simple if the different coating materials are based on optically identical printing inks, to which particles with the machine-testable features are mixed.
- the uncoated areas of the security element belonging to the optical code then do not need to be produced by a complex demetallization process, but can simply remain unprinted.
- the invention is therefore particularly suitable for a transparent security thread which is visible in transmitted light when embedded in the paper.
- the machine-testable coating materials and the neutral material are opaque, preferably dark, and are preferably based on the same printing ink.
- thermochromic and / or luminescent security feature can be integrated in the security element, in particular a thermochromic and / or luminescent security feature.
- the security element is a security thread, ie the security element is in the form of a thread or strip that is at least partially embedded in a document material, such as banknote paper, or can also be arranged on the surface.
- a document material such as banknote paper
- the security element is in the form of a thread or strip that is at least partially embedded in a document material, such as banknote paper, or can also be arranged on the surface.
- FIG. 1 shows a security element with a continuous electrically conductive coating with a magnetic code printed thereover and an optical code in the electrically conductive coating
- Fig. 2 shows a security element with a magnetic coating with conductivity code printed over it and an optical code in the conductivity code and the magnetic
- FIG. 3 shows a security element with spaced apart magnetic code, conductivity code and optical code
- FIG. 4 shows a security element with a conductivity code, which is partially overlaid by a magnetic code and forms an optical code with it and with a third coating;
- FIG. 5 shows a security element with a magnetic code, which is superimposed on an optical code composed of electrically conductive and neutral coating sections; and Fig. 6 shows a continuously coated security element with a
- Conductivity code above it a magnetic code and a neutral coating between the two codes, as well as an optical code in the form of a negative writing in the continuous coating.
- Figures 1 to 6 each show the security element in supervision and, below, schematically in side view.
- the top view shows the appearance of the security element, as it is presented to the viewer when using a white or light-colored security element under supervision or when using a transparent security element in transmitted light.
- the side view shows the respective layer structure of the security element. If it is a security thread, the width is usually in the range of 1 to 2 mm. All figures only show a short section of the security thread, which is usually produced as a continuous thread.
- FIG. 1 shows a continuously conductive, magnetically coded negative text element 1. That is, the optical code 20 is formed by cutouts which form characters in the continuous, electrically conductive coating 30 of the security element 1.
- the security element 1 consists of transparent plastic 10, so that the optical code 20 is visible in transmitted light when the security element 1 is embedded, for example, in banknote paper or another security document.
- the continuous coating 30 is printed with a special magnetic code 40, which is visually indistinguishable from the coating 30 underneath for the naked eye. Magnetic code 40 forms a bar code, for example.
- the code can be a continuous coating, such as the continuous electrically conductive coating 30 in the exemplary embodiment.
- Magnetic code in the sense of the present invention is to be understood as any “magnetic coating” which is provided on the basis of its special magnetic material properties in order to check the authenticity of the security element based on these magnetic properties. This also includes, for example, coatings made of a material that can be identified by means of magnetoresistors and can therefore be reliably distinguished from other materials of the security element.
- the security element according to FIG. 1 has a total of three security features, namely the optical code 20, the magnetic code 40 and a continuous electrical conductivity 30. It is thus “triple coded”.
- the purpose according to the invention is also achieved if the Coating 30 has no special physical properties and is, for example, a neutral printing ink
- the most important condition to be placed on coating 30 is that it cannot be distinguished optically from the material of magnetic ink 40.
- FIG. 2 shows a security element 1 similar to that in FIG. 1, which has a transparent plastic as the carrier material 10 and which is, however, continuously coated with a magnetic paint 40 which is coated with a special code of electrically conductive paint 30 is coated.
- this security element thus has a special conductivity code 30 and instead of a continuous electrical conductivity, this security element is continuously magnetic.
- the optical code 20 is not only present in the continuous magnetic coating 40 of the security element 1, but also in areas of the electrically conductive coating 30. Since the optical code 20 is a negative writing, Both the magnetic layer 40 and the electrically conductive layer 30 have correspondingly formed cutouts in the areas of the optical code 20.
- the continuous magnetic coating 40 could be replaced by a neutral printing ink, which, however, reduces the number of security features of the security element from three to two.
- the preferred embodiments of the invention provide three security features, an optical, a magnetic and an electrically conductive security feature, wherein coating materials that cannot be distinguished from one another optically are selected to generate these security features are and which are applied to the security element 1 using a suitable method, preferably by printing technology in the form of printing inks.
- a suitable method preferably by printing technology in the form of printing inks.
- the printing processes are, for example, screen, gravure, offset and flexographic printing, with screen and gravure being preferred.
- the security features can also be applied using any other suitable method, such as spraying or vapor deposition methods. at Vacuum coating methods are preferred using vapor deposition technologies.
- FIG. 3 shows a further embodiment of a security element 1 according to the invention.
- the optical code 20 consists of characters 20a and 20d and bars 20b, 20c in a trapezoidal shape.
- the individual components 20a to 20d of the optical code 20 are each formed on the security element 1 from a specific coating material.
- the component 20a “G&D” is formed by a coating 50 made of neutral material without special physical properties.
- the component 20b of the optical code and the component 20d “PL” are formed by a magnetic coating 40.
- the component 20c of the optical code is in turn formed by an electrically conductive coating 30.
- the respective text components 20a and 20d thus have different physical properties, and the trapezoidal bars 20b, 20c also have different, but different physical properties than the labeling components 20a, 20d.
- the observer initially has no idea of these different properties, since the coating materials of the optical code 20 cannot be distinguished from one another by the naked eye. As in FIG. 1, the coating is on a plastic carrier 10.
- FIG. 4 shows a security element 1 according to the invention, the optical code 20 of which is a bar code which is formed by bars of different lengths and evenly spaced apart. The viewer will initially believe that they have a usual bar code in front of them. However, as can be seen from the side view of the security element 1, the individual bars of the bar code 20 are formed by different coating materials, namely by electrically conductive coating sections 30, magnetic coating sections 40 and neutral coating sections 50, which are neither magnetic nor electrically conductive. There is thus a conductivity code 30 due to the electrically conductive coating sections 30, a magnetic code 40 due to the magnetic coating sections 40 and an optical code 20 due to the entirety of the electrically conductive, the magnetic and the neutral coating sections 30, 40, 50.
- the coating sections 50 thus serve to complete the optical code 20, and it would be sufficient, in contrast to the illustration according to FIG. 4, if the coating sections 50 merely adjoin the magnetic and / or electrically conductive sections 40 or 30. However, this requires a very precise manufacturing accuracy in order to avoid gaps between the individual coating sections. An arrangement of the coating sections in which adjoining coating sections overlap is therefore preferred because of the simpler manufacturability, in particular in the printing process. Manufacturing tolerances are not critical in this case. As in FIG. 1, the coating is on a plastic carrier 10.
- FIG. 5 shows a further embodiment of the security element 1 according to the invention, in which the optical code 20 again comprises characters 20a and bars 20b, 20c.
- the bars 20c with the negative writing "PL" consist of an electrically conductive coating 30 and the bars 20b with the negative writing "G&D” consist of a neutral, opaque printing ink 50.
- the electrically conductive coating 30 thus forms a conductivity code which is suitable for the However, the viewer cannot be recognized in its special code shape, since the viewer will assume that the neutral coating area 50 is also part of the code.
- the security element has a third code, namely a magnetic code 40, which is formed by printing sections of the bars 20a, 20b with magnetic ink 40.
- the partial areas of the magnetic code 40 lie outside the negative writing 20a, so that the magnetic code 40 as a classic bar code can be produced in the simplest manner using the printing process.
- the coating is, as in Fig. 1, on a plastic carrier 10.
- FIG. 6 again shows a security element 1 according to the invention, which the viewer faces as a continuously coated security element with negative writing 20.
- the security element has a conductivity code 30 and a different magnetic code 40, which are formed by corresponding coatings 30, 0. Areas of the security element that were not covered by the coating areas 30, 40 were previously printed with a neutral, opaque printing ink 50.
- the coating sequence is, however, irrelevant for the purposes of the invention, since in any case a security element 1 is printed which is completely opaque in terms of appearance and which has the same appearance from both sides even in the case of a transparent element.
- the coating is on a plastic carrier 10.
- the coatings can also be present on different sides of the carrier material 10.
- the areas 40 of the security element which form the magnetic code can be divided into subclasses which differ in their magnetic remanence and / or their coercive force. These different classes of magnetic areas can be distinguished from one another on the basis of their different magnetic properties in identification machines.
- the different magnetic and mechanical Showable properties of the subclasses can be adjusted using different magnetic materials or using a material that varies in quantity and / or pigment distribution. Pigment distribution is understood to mean, for example, the pigment size or the packing of the pigments (density).
- the magnetic materials can be both hard and soft magnetic materials and mixtures thereof.
- Suitable magnetic colors are hard magnetic pigments, for example Fe 3 O 4, and soft magnetic powder colors, for example made of Fe or NiFe, incorporated in binders.
- the electrically conductive areas 30, like the magnetic areas 40, are e.g. generated using printing inks in the printing process.
- This has the advantage that the optical appearance of the electrically conductive paint can be easily adapted to the optical appearance of the magnetic paint. Furthermore, it is possible without effort to provide cutouts or special contours in the electrically conductive coating for forming the optical code without, for example, a complex demetallization process being necessary.
- the colors of the type Electrodag from the company Acheson or carbon black incorporated in binder e.g. Printex XE2B from Degussa Hüls can be used.
