Description

The invention relates to a method for producing a laminate for a pass-inlay according to the preamble of claim 1 and an identification document produced thereby.

Forgery-proof and, in particular, machine-readable identification documents are particularly advantageous with regard to security aspects. To read the data, an optically readable font with the data of the card holder is used in the documents known from the prior art, which are then compared in a security database with the data stored there.

Such identification documents, however, only allow data to be read from the document, but not to write or change the data on the document, so that each reading process at each relevant terminal is linked to a data comparison on a central server, which is sometimes located at a very remote location. This is very disadvantageous, for example, when checking criminal or offense registers, for example when inquiring about the current score of a road user, because the road user document itself does not have any such data because the document is not designed for data storage.

Chip or magnetic cards are known in particular for storing data or for identifying a user. These consist e.g. from a laminate composite, in which essentially two plastic disks sandwich a chip module and / or an antenna device, the chip module in particular being firmly and permanently integrated into the card body formed in this way.

However, such chip cards cannot readily be used for identification documents, for example passports, provided that the production devices, for example printing or binding machines, are designed for processing paper or fabrics, or the use of paper or fabrics for the identification document is prescribed.

The task now arises of specifying a method for producing a laminate for a pass-inlay in an identification document, with the aid of which it is possible to also use pass-inlays in paper or tissue-processing production lines for producing the identification documents.

Furthermore, there is the task of specifying an identification document which combines simple and inexpensive data storage in connection with a simple possibility of data transmission and the greatest possible protection against forgery of the document and which contains such a pass-inlay

This object is achieved with a method for producing a laminate for a pass-inlay according to the features of claim 1. With regard to the device aspect, the object is achieved by an identification document with the features of claim 2, the subclaims comprising expedient expansions and refinements for this purpose.

The process for producing a laminate for a pass-inlay that can be processed using paper technology is characterized according to the invention in that an intermediate product is produced, a laminating of a flat prelaminate being carried out during the lamination process with a fibrous and / or fabric material.

The prelaminates are thus preferably laminated on both sides in a sandwich-like manner, with these one Include the chip module or the antenna device between them. The intermediate product thus has a fibrous or woven surface, so that the laminate can subsequently be processed, for example printed or bound, in appropriately designed production facilities.

In a first embodiment of the method, a paper material is laminated on as a fibrous coating. As a result, the finished laminate can be further processed in paper processing devices.

In a further embodiment, a fabric material is laminated on as a woven coating. This gives the laminate the quality of a very strong fabric, which can in principle be treated like a flat or guided fabric.

An identification document based thereon is characterized according to the invention by a pass-inlay made of an intermediate product laminate body covered with a fibrous and / or woven lamination and containing an antenna device in connection with a data carrier at least in sections.

The identification document is made of a fiber or fabric material on the one hand and accordingly has all the relevant properties and on the other hand contains a corresponding memory and / or antenna device of conventional memory cards within the laminate body.

In one embodiment, the identification document can be in book form, the laminate body being integrated in the region of the cover and / or back of the identification document.

The lamination thus enables the laminate body to be molded into the identification document like a component made of paper, cardboard or fabric. This means that the back or cover can be produced like a conventional ID document.

The laminate body can, in particular, be inserted in the back and / or the lid of the identification document in a non-detachable manner or only releasably by destruction, in particular sewn and / or glued. It is therefore possible to fall back on the commonly used joining methods for producing the identification document.

An embodiment of the identification document is particularly favorable, in which the lamination of the laminate body is designed as a section of the lamination of the identification document, in particular the cover and / or back lamination. In this case, the laminate body can either be dispensed with its own lamination, or the lamination of the laminate body itself serves to be inserted into the cover or spine of the identification document.

The method according to the invention and the identification document according to the invention will now be explained below using exemplary embodiments. The attached figures serve for clarification. The same reference numerals are used for identical or identically acting parts.

Exemplary embodiments of an identification document or a semi-finished product for producing an identification document are described below. Two basic variants are assumed. In the first exemplary embodiment, the laminate body is integrated in a cover base body of the identification document. This embodiment is particularly in 1 described. In the second embodiment, the laminate body itself forms the lid base body. This embodiment is particularly in 2nd shown.

In both embodiments, the laminate body can be laminated with a paper or fabric layer and can therefore be designed as a laminated intermediate product. Either the lamination of the cover covers the lamination of the laminate body or the lamination of the laminate body simultaneously forms the lamination of the cover of the identification document.

This in 1 The exemplary identification document shown has an arrangement made of an electronic data carrier in the area of the back and / or cover of the identification document in connection with an antenna device for contactless data transmission. Both the antenna device and the electronic data carrier are placed in a laminate body. Alternatively, it is of course also possible to use only one Form conductive fabric or knitted fabric as a quasi "electronic joint" in the area of the back

A data memory, in particular a memory chip, and an antenna device are thus inserted through the laminate body into the identification document and form an inseparable unit with the body of the document. This can only be separated from one another by destroying the ID document and is therefore largely forgery-proof.

At the in 1 The embodiment shown is the electronic data carrier and / or the antenna device as a laminate body with a laminated memory chip and / or a laminated winding that is permanently inserted, in particular sewn, into the back and / or cover 30th educated. The memory chip and / or the coil device are thus hidden from the outside in the laminate body.

The electronic data carrier and / or the antenna device can also be embodied as components of a nonwoven or woven fabric that is integrated in the ID card back and inseparably connected to the ID document, in particular sewn. The fleece or the fabric thus contains on the one hand the data carrier and / or antenna device as an integral part and on the other hand serves to hold the identification document together.

The fleece or fabric can optionally be introduced in sections in the laminate body and form a flexible joint element in the area of the back of the identification document. This makes it possible to guide the antenna device over the spine of the identification document, which at the same time forms a flexible articulated connection between the covers or between the laminate body.

In this case, the fleece or fabric consists of a metallic or plastic material, in particular a fiber material.

In the 1 is the identification document with a partially cut back 5 or lid 10th shown. The cover has a data carrier designed as a memory chip in this exemplary embodiment 20th on that with an antenna device 30th for a contactless or contactless data exchange with external reading devices. In this exemplary embodiment, the antenna device is designed as a coil-like arrangement or winding.

In the in 1 The exemplary embodiment shown covers the arrangement of the antenna device and data memory both a part of the rear and front cover and also the back of the identification document. Inside the lid 10th are the conductor tracks of the antenna device 30th or the data storage 20th in a laminate body 40 embedded and forms an inseparable compact body with it. This composite is in the lid 10th of the ID document cannot be removed and can only be destroyed by destroying the cover 10th or the laminate body can be removed. For example, the laminate body 40 with a base made of cardboard or plastic 41 of the lid 10th glued or sewn and with a lid lamination 42 of the lid 10th covered and thus inextricably linked so that the cover lamination can only be removed from the area of the laminate by irreversible damage to the identification document.

In the area of the back 5 of the identification document, the laminate body goes into a fleece or fabric 50 over that part of the back as a flexible material 5 forms. The fleece or the fabric preferably consist of plastic fibers, which within the fabric are the conductor tracks of the antenna device 30th contain. The fleece or the fabric is advantageous 50 introduced into the laminate body mentioned, ie laminated between the surfaces of the prelaminates and sandwiched within the laminate body with the data carrier 20th connected.

Furthermore, the fleece or the fabric is inextricably linked to the base body of the cover or the other components of the back, in particular glued or sewn, in such a way that a separation of the fleece or fabric leads to its irreversible destruction.

The sections form the on the lids 10th of the identification document arranged laminate body 40 in conjunction with that within the back 5 arranged fleece or fabric 50 a hinge connection that opens or closes the lid 10th allowed and at the same time a contactless data transmission between the antenna device 30th and external readers.

Of course, a number of modified embodiments are possible, in which the entire arrangement consists of a laminate body 40 or fleece or fabric 50 in the lid 10th of the ID document are integrated. For example, for safety reasons, the fleece or fabric can be covered several times with the cover lamination 42 connected, for example quilted.

2nd shows a further exemplary embodiment of an identification document, shown here as an exemplary semi-finished product. In with an in Form of a fabric material running back 5 connected lid 10th are two laminate bodies in this example 40 inserted. These contain an antenna device or winding 30th and a memory chip 20th as a data carrier. In 3rd is the laminate body 40 shown in an enlarged view. The identification document is in the area of the cover 10th laminated with a paper layer so that both laminate bodies are hidden under the paper layer. The cover body 41 can either be made of the same material as the inserted laminate body 40 or be made of a material different from this. At the in 2nd In the embodiment shown, the base body forms the laminate body 40 and is covered with the paper layer or another lamination. Furthermore is a fabric material 50 in the example shown in the figure, laminated into the laminate body in the area of the back.

In the 2nd The arrangement shown can be further processed in a paper lamination in devices which are designed for the processing of paper materials. The example shown in the figure is an exemplary semi-finished product made up of two interrelated units C and D, each of which is made of the cover 10th or the back 5 with the corresponding laminate bodies 40 consist. The units C and D of the semifinished product can be printed in the manner customary for paper surfaces and then separated, in particular cut apart, along the cutting edge S.

The 4a and 4b show two different sectional views of the in 2nd illustrated embodiment. The sectional view 4a shows a section in the area of the back of the embodiment 2nd along the cutting line AA , the sectional view 4b shows a section in the region of the antenna device or winding 30th and the data carrier or memory chip 20th along the cutting line BB out 2nd .

The sectional view 4a shows one of two prelaminates 40a and 40b existing laminate body 40 . The fabric material is between the prelaminates 50 laminated and forms a firm connection. A paper lamination is on the outward-facing surfaces of the composite of laminate body and fabric thus formed 57 by means of an adhesive layer 40c glued to the back of the ID document or the so formed in 2nd semifabirates completely covered.

The sectional view 4b shows a laminate body 40 made from a prelaminate 40a with a cavity that holds a disk 20th serves in the form of a memory or chip module. The antenna device or winding 30th is together with the data carrier by means of a carrier film 55 on the prelaminate 40a laminated, the data carrier in the corresponding cavity of the prelaminate 40a has been indented. As mentioned previously, the resulting laminate body forms 40 the cover body 41 from, also on both sides with a glued paper lamination 57 is covered.

Various embodiments are possible for the design of the laminate body. In a first exemplary embodiment, the prelaminate consists of a layer of Pretex, between which the transponder device or the memory chip is laminated in a sandwich-like manner. The joint element consists of a PET fabric laminated between the Pretex pre-laminates, which can be integrated into the back of the ID document.

It is also possible to use PVC pre-laminates with a PET fabric laminated in the joint area and a writable or printable paper lamination applied to the PVC pre-laminates. The laminate body thus formed can be further processed like a paper material.

The prelaminate can also consist of a polycarbonate material with a laminated PET fabric in the joint area or the laminated transponder device with memory chip.

In addition, an embodiment is also possible in which the memory chip with transponder is applied to a pre-laminate made of a Teslin plastic and a fabric layer, for example a PET fabric, is laminated onto this arrangement. Pretex can also be used instead of the Teslin plastic. Stitching gauze or other cotton fabric can also be used.

Before the layers are laminated, it may be expedient for safety reasons to sew the prelaminates or the transponder or fabric layer sandwiched therebetween by means of a sewn-in security thread. The safety seam mechanically prevents the laminated layers from being removed later unintentionally or as part of a forgery attempt. The safety seam is expediently designed as a quilting seam, which is applied in any shaped path, for example an X, an O or a Lissajous figure, and firmly connects the components of the laminate. In particular, chain seams or flat seams can be used as the seam shape. The seam can be made with a conventional sewing device.

This sewn structure is then laminated, i.e. pressed together. When pressing, the sewn components are pressed together to the level of the safety seam. This creates a flat and very smooth laminate surface.

The safety seam can both enclose the paper lamination or be covered by the paper lamination.

The 5a and 5b show exemplary embodiments of a seam course within the cut structure 4a respectively. 4b . In the embodiment 5a is a sewing thread 60 through the entire layer structure made of paper lamination 57 , Carrier film 55 as well as the laminate composite from the prelaminates 40a and 40b or the tissue 50 passed through and is visible on the outside of the paper lamination. This means that the paper lamination cannot be removed without being destroyed.

In the embodiment 5b is the sewing thread 60 under the lamination 57 hidden and only by the components 40a , 40b , 50 and 55 guided. Such an embodiment is appropriate when the composite of the prelaminates 40a and 40b or the tissue 50 and the carrier film 55 is first sewn and then pressed, whereby a uniform, smooth and printable surface is required for paper lamination.

An exemplary seam course on an exemplary semi-finished product 2nd shows 6 . In this embodiment is on each laminate body 40 a seam that outlines the contour of the laminate body and runs diagonally over the outlined area 61 intended. The seam 61 can be arranged both above and below the lamination according to the previous statements. Any stitches can be used as the seam shape. Advantageously, a double-sided chain stitch or a serrated seam shape is used in particular. The path of the seam is expediently guided such that it does not affect the chip module 20th touched.

Further embodiments result from the subclaims or from extensions or combinations of the features disclosed here in the context of professional action.
