Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tamper-proof information carrier, e.g. an identification card (ID card), a bank card or an authorization card that contains an insert with a passport picture, the owner's data and various security features in an inseparable connection between two plastic films.
  • ID card identification card
  • bank card bank card
  • authorization card that contains an insert with a passport picture
  • the insert can be made from a piece of special photo paper, on the layers of which the cardholder data and the passport photo are exposed and developed.
  • the insert can then be provided with additional identification features, e.g. with line or raster prints and is finally sealed between foils.
  • the invention has for its object to develop an information carrier that offers a high degree of security against counterfeiting and whose edge stability is improved so that the machine readability of the data in the various card readers is guaranteed even with strong mechanical stress on the edges.
  • a forgery-proof information carrier consisting of an insert with a passport picture, the data of the owner and other security features, the two sides of which are inextricably linked with plastic films, and a frame-shaped mask arranged along the edges of the information carrier, which is flush with the edges of the Closes information carrier, characterized in that the mask is made of metal.
  • the metal mask protects the edges of the information carrier from wear in a surprisingly simple manner, since the metal of the metal mask provides mechanical resistance to much greater resistance than the previously used plastic edges of the information carriers.
  • the metal edge ensures that the information carrier is securely positioned in the reader and thus that the data can be read without interference using the card reader.
  • the ID is more stable thanks to the metal mask and, as shown below, is also more secure against counterfeiting.
  • the metal mask can be made from any metal.
  • a sheet steel mask shows good results in terms of mechanical strength, which also has price advantages.
  • the thickness of the mask will generally be comparable to that of the insert. However, it can also be significantly lower in certain application forms. If the counterfeiting of the information carrier is to be made more difficult, rare metals or metal alloys can also be used as a metal mask.
  • the metal mask can also be used as a further security feature if it has certain magnetic or electrical properties, e.g. a certain coercive force, a certain capacity or a certain resistance.
  • the metal mask is serrated or irregularly shaped on the inner edges, which makes it considerably more difficult to open the welded or glued information carrier for counterfeiting purposes.
  • the metal mask is characterized in that the metal mask is provided with holes through which the upper plastic film is connected to the lower plastic film by gluing or welding. The bond between the insert, the metal mask and the two protective foils is thereby improved and an attempt at forgery is made even more difficult.
  • FIG. 1 shows a top view of an information carrier, the insert 1 of which contains a field 7 for a passport photograph or a photograph and on which fields 8 for personal data of the cardholder are arranged and a field 9 is provided along an edge of the information carrier.
  • the insert sheet is surrounded by a metal mask 2 and welded or glued together with the mask between plastic films 5, 6 (FIG. 2).
  • Fig. 2 shows a cross section through the information carrier according to Fig. 1, the
  • the insert 1 is between plastic films 5 and 6 and is permanently connected to them.
  • a metal mask 2 is arranged around the insert 1, which protects the edges of the information carrier from mechanical wear and guarantees that the distance from the edge 10 to the field 9 for machine-readable data remains practically unchanged, even if the identification card is used for purposes other than the intended purpose for which it is not intended.
  • the metal mask 2 is also inserted between the foils 5 and permanently connected to them, so that the information carrier advantageously forms a stable, solid unit with the same thickness over the entire surface.
  • the insert 1 has the same size as the information carrier and the metal mask is embedded in the insert 1 or is glued to it.
  • FIG. 3 shows an advantageous development of the information carrier according to FIG. 2 in which the metal mask, in addition to the solidification of the edges, also takes on the task of increasing security against counterfeiting.
  • the metal mask has a smooth edge along the outer edges to protect against mechanical abrasion.
  • the edges of the metal mask lying towards the insert are provided with teeth 3 or irregular shapes which protrude into the insert 1.
  • the insert 1 can be punched out at its edges to match the metal mask 2 if the metal mask 2 has the same thickness as the insert 1 (FIG. 2).
  • the insert 1 can also have smooth edges and the metal mask 2 can be glued to it.
  • the prongs 3 By embossing the information carrier under pressure and heat, the prongs 3 then penetrate both into the insert 1 and into the plastic film 5 (or 6), so that a card of the same thickness is also formed (FIG. 4), the metal mask being in two Layers namely the film 5 and the insert 1 is pressed so that opening the card by separating the layers is no longer possible for counterfeiting purposes.
  • a further advantageous improvement of the information carrier is obtained in that the metal mask is provided with bores or holes 4 (FIG. 3).
  • the foils 5, 6 are glued or welded to the insert 1 and the metal mask 2, the upper foil 5 and the lower foil 6 are firmly connected to one another through these holes.
  • This increases the stiffness and strength of the information carrier and at the same time makes counterfeiting considerably more difficult.
  • the combination of the inwardly directed tines 3 and the all-round holes 4 in the metal mask, carried out together significantly increase the security of the information carrier against attempts at counterfeiting.
  • the properties of the metal mask 2 can be used to check the authenticity of information carriers.
  • the metal mask 2 can be magnetic, have a certain electrical resistance, take up a certain electrical charge or can consist of a certain alloy that is difficult to reproduce.
  • the prongs 3 and / or holes 4 can have certain irregular distances from one another, from which a code can be read inductively when the card is moved by a test device and electronically compared with the test code, the data in field 9 being able to be read simultaneously.
