Description

The invention relates to a method for producing a tab for a data page and a data page, a book block and a book-like document. The invention further relates to a tab, a data page and a book block and a book-like document.

From the DE 10 2012 112 383 A1 A method for producing a data page for a book-type document is known, in which the data page comprises a data carrier and a flexible strip material arranged thereon as a tab, which are connected to one another in an inseparable manner in an overlapping area. This flexible strip material is provided as an endless belt and is supplied with a feeding device to the data carrier to connect the tab to the data carrier for forming the data page.

From the DE 10 2013 103 353 A1 Furthermore, a data page, in particular Personalisierdatenseite, known for a book-like document in which on the disk a tab is connected, which consists of a fabric-shaped band material of a polymer material. The disk consists at least of a layer of polycarbonate.

To increase the security against forgery for such a data page is for example from the WO 2010/097225 A1 It is known that both the data page and the tab are provided with a personalization. The data page comprises a first layer of a thermoplastic material, which is provided with at least a second layer of a different thermoplastic material, wherein these layers extend along both the data carrier and the tab.

To form the tab on a data page, increasingly, belt-shaped strip materials made of plastic are used, which deviate from the at least one layer which forms the data carrier of the data page. When printing such web-shaped tape materials for introducing a security feature for a data page, it is necessary before printing to pretreat such a web-shaped strip material with other materials, in particular to impregnate or smooth with punches.

The invention has for its object to provide a method for producing a tab made of a tissue-shaped strip material, a data page with such a tab and a book block and a book-like document in which increases the security against counterfeiting and prevents manipulation or difficult. It is another object of the present invention to propose a tab of a webbing having a security feature, a data page having such a tab, and a book block or book-type document comprising a data page with a tab having a security feature in which the security against counterfeiting is increased and manipulation is prevented or made sufficiently difficult.

This object is achieved by a method for producing a tab in which a web-shaped strip material for the flap, which comprises at least individual threads made of plastic, fed to a processing machine and at least one surface of the existing plastic filaments of the tissue-shaped strip material with a laser beam with an IR Radiation labeled. Surprisingly, it has been shown that the threads in the region of the travel path of the laser beam are changed by the inscription of the web-shaped strip material with an IR radiation. The labeling may be, for example, a motif, a lettering, a pictogram, symbols, other characters, information, a combination thereof or the like. This label visually stands out against the unmarked area. By capturing a security feature is introduced into the fabric-shaped strip material according to the invention. As a result, such a tissue-shaped strip material for the formation of the tab is customizable and forgery-proof.

Preferably, a laser beam having a wavelength in the range from 750 nanometers to 1400 nanometers, in particular 1064 nanometers, is used for inscribing the tissue-shaped strip material. Thereby, a surface modification of the individual threads of the web-shaped strip material, in particular a melting, take place in order to achieve the lettering. The individual threads can be melted and roughened within the track of the laser beam and along the travel path. In addition, a discoloration of the surface of the threads can take place, whereby the label is visually recognizable compared to the untreated tissue.

According to a preferred embodiment of the method, the web-shaped strip material is positioned stationary in the processing station within a scanning range of the laser beam and the laser beam preferably traversed by means of a scan head line for labeling the one surface of the tab. This represents a simple production.

Alternatively, the web-shaped strip material may be provided as an endless belt and continuously passed through the processing station and the laser beam are preferably traversed at right angles to the movement of the band-shaped material. In this case, a line-shaped control of a scan head of the laser processing system is sufficient for the introduction of the label. This allows high productivity.

A further preferred embodiment of the method provides that the strip material is passed freely through the processing station, in particular within a scanning region of the laser system. This has the advantage that a large part of the IR radiation of the laser beam can pass through the PET tissue. Impairment due to re-radiation can be prevented.

Furthermore, a prefabricated length of the web-shaped strip material can be supplied to the processing station in order then to introduce the at least one security feature into the web-shaped strip material. Alternatively, a continuous supply of the web-shaped strip material into the processing station in the provision of the web-shaped strip material can take place as an endless belt.

The object on which the invention is based is furthermore achieved by a method for producing a data page for a book-type document, in particular value and / or security document, in which a tab is provided according to one of the previously described embodiments of the method and with a data carrier forming an overlapping area is connected. Alternatively, a tab which comprises a fabric-shaped strip material which comprises at least individual threads made of plastic can be connected to a data carrier in an overlapping area and subsequently an inscription or identification of the tab can be carried out according to one of the previously described embodiments.

The object underlying the invention is further achieved by a method for producing a book block for a book-like document, in particular value and / or security document, in which one inside or more stacked insides with a data page whose tab with at least one security feature after a the above-described embodiments is brought together in a stack and the at least one inside and the tab of the data carrier data carrier are connected to each other.

Alternatively it can be provided for the production of the book block, that one or more inner pages stacked together with a data page, in which a disk and a tab made of a tissue-shaped strip material, which comprises at least individual threads of plastic, in the overlapping area, merged into a stack and that the at least one inside and the tab of the data carrier are connected to each other and the tab is labeled according to one of the embodiments described above and in a subsequent step. By introducing the at least one security feature or a label with a laser beam, such a processing of the tab can also be made after the production of the book block, especially since it can be positioned freely against the book block for introducing the label in a processing station.

The object underlying the invention is further achieved by a method for producing a book-like document, in particular a value and / or security document, in which at least one inner side, a data page according to one of the above-described embodiments and a book cover tied together or a book block after a the above-described embodiments are connected to a book cover. Alternatively, the at least one inside, a data page comprising a data carrier and a tab made of a tissue-shaped strip material comprising at least individual threads of plastic, which are interconnected in the overlapping area, and bound together a book cover and subsequently labeled the tab according to one of the embodiments described above become. By introducing at least one security feature in the form of a label by means of a laser beam, the production process of the book-like document can be made flexible. In different stages of production, in each case the tab can be labeled by means of an IR radiation and a security feature can be introduced.

The object underlying the invention is further achieved by a tab for a data page of a book-like document, in particular a value and / or security document, which comprises a fabric-shaped strip material having at least individual threads made of plastic, and which with an IR radiation a laser beam is labeled or marked. As a result, the tab can be individualized, so that manipulation is difficult or visible.

A surface of the threads forming the web-shaped strip material is preferably melted along a travel path of the laser beam. As a result, a rough surface can be formed. This rough surface is visible and may include a creative, lettering, or other symbols.

Furthermore, the IR radiation is preferably used to change at least the surface of the threads of the web-shaped strip material along the travel path of the IR radiation in the color in relation to the adjacent or untreated web-shaped strip material. Preferably, a brownish-beige color is introduced. As a result, a characteristic inscription can be introduced as a security feature in the tab, which in turn makes manipulation more difficult.

Threads of a thermoplastic material, in particular polyester or polyamide, are preferably used for the production of the web-shaped strip material. Preferably, PET is used as the material for the threads. The web-shaped strip material may comprise individual threads of plastic and further threads of a textile and / or metallic material. Furthermore, hybrid fibers can be used in which at least one outer sheath is formed from a thermoplastic material. Also, the web-shaped strip material may be formed solely of threads made of plastic, in particular as a PET fabric.
