Definitions

  • the present invention relates to identification cards and in particular to identification cards variably engraved into a plurality of colored plies to form a multicolored engraved image.
  • Patent No. 3,930,924 a card with two or more colored layers is disclosed. When such a card is engraved, the result is a picture with a multi- colored effect.
  • the identification card in accordance with the invention has a plurality of different colored plies of predefined thickness at predefined depths.
  • the card could have a bottom ply which is black, a next ply which is red, a next ply which is blue, a next ply which is green, and a top ply which is white.
  • Cards having one colored layer which is flesh tone can also be provided.
  • the colored engraved image can then be formed for example by drilling or punching a multiplicity of holes through one or more of the colored layers to expose a small region of color from one of the plies.
  • the combination of a multiplicity of exposed regions creates an image somewhat like a dot pattern image of a color television picture.
  • the thickness of the card and the thickness of each of the plies is precisely controlled so that an engraving machine can expose the desired color in selected regions to form the colored image.
  • the colored plies are preferably relatively thin so that when a hole of relatively small width is formed by punching or scribing, the exposed color will still be easily observed. It will be appreciated that the width of the holes or furrows in the card must be sufficiently wide relative to the thickness of the plies so that the exposed region in a hole or furrow of maximum depth will not be "buried” at the bottom of the hole or furrow in such a way that light will not be able to illuminate the exposed portion.
  • each ply must be great enough so that the engraving device will be able to consistently drill or scribe into a selected ply.
  • a multicolored engraved identification card includes base ply which may for example be black in color, a top ply which may for example be white in color, and a plurality of colored plies between the top ply and the base ply. The color of each intermediate colored ply is different from the color of each immediately adjacent ply.
  • the card further includes a multiplicity of cavities which may be holes or elongated grooves where each cavity has a depth which is selected to expose one or more portions of at least one of the plies including the base ply, the top ply and the plurality of colored plies. The multiplicity of exposed portions cooperate to form the colored image on the card.
  • the plurality of colored plies includes three plies each of which has a color other than black or white and additionally a plurality of white plies arranged so that a white ply is interleaved between each colored ply which is not black or white.
  • Each cavity preferably has a width relative to the combined thickness of the top ply and each colored ply which will allow simultaneous viewing of the multiplicity of exposed portions.
  • the width of each cavity is preferably selected to be greater than its depth with the top ply and each colored ply having substantially the same thickness.
  • one embodiment of a card with an engraved colored image 11 includes a base ply 12, a top ply 14 and a plurality of colored plies 16 between the top ply 14 and the base ply 12.
  • Each of the plurality of colored plies 16 is of a color which is different from the color of each adjacent ply whether the base ply, the top ply or an adjacent colored ply.
  • the plurality of colored plies is illustrated as including five plies.
  • the first colored ply 18 is disposed on top of the base ply 12 and has a first color
  • a second colored ply 20 is disposed on the first ply 18 and has a second color
  • a third colored ply 22 is disposed on the second ply 20 and has a third color
  • a fourth ply 24 is disposed on top of the third ply 22 and has a fourth color
  • a fifth ply 26 is disposed on top of the fourth ply 24 and has a fifth color.
  • the first color is different from the color of the base and from the second color; the second color is additionally different from the third color; the third color is additionally different from the fourth color; and the fourth color additionally different from the fifth color.
  • the color of the top ply 14 is then also different from the color of the fifth colored ply 26.
  • the base ply is black
  • the top ply 14 is white
  • the intermediate colored plies 20 and 24 are likewise white in color.
  • the first ply 18, third ply 22 and fifth ply 26 are selected to be, for example, the primary colors red, blue and green. Alternatively or additionally, a flesh colored ply could be incorporated to enable better imaging for pictures of humans.
  • a hole 28 can be drilled with a conically shaped drill bit to expose varying areas 29 of the selected portion of one of the colored layers where the exposed area will have a diameter "a" smaller than the diameter "b" of the drill bit.
  • the portion of the non-white colored layer which is exposed can be varied by controlling the depth of the hole 28 drilled through the multi-ply card.
  • the hole 28 is drilled to a predefined depth with a conically shaped drill bit to expose the circular area 29 in the third colored ply 22.
  • the diameter "a" of the exposed region 29 in the third colored layer 22 will be increased which in effect increases the intensity of that color to a viewer.
  • the vertical distance between the center of the hole and the junction 33 between the sloped bottom surface 31 and the side 35 of the hole 28 be less than the thickness of any of the plies 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 and 14.
  • the hole may have a perfectly flat bottom as illustrated by the hole 32 in Figure 3.
  • each hole or furrow as will be described hereafter
  • the holes be drilled as close together as possible and that the holes be as small as possible to increase image resolution.
  • a card 50 in accordance with the invention includes a multiplicity of closely adjacent furrows 52 which are engraved into the surface of the card.
  • the card 50 includes a base ply 54 which, for example, may be colored black; a first colored ply 56 disposed on the base ply and may, for example, be colored red; a second colored ply 58 disposed on top of the first colored ply 56 and may, for example, be colored green; and a third colored ply 60 disposed on top of the second colored ply 58 and may, for example, be colored blue.
  • the top ply 62 is then disposed on top of the third colored ply 60.
  • the top ply 62 is preferably white.
  • the cavity or furrow 52 illustrated in Figure 4 preferably has a substantially rectangular shape so that only one color is exposed across the width of the furrow 52.
  • FIG. 5 a partial cross-section of the furrow through section 5-5 of Figure 2 is illustrated where the furrow 52 has varying depths along its length.
  • the furrow 52 extends through the plies 62, 60 and 58 into ply 56 to expose a lengthwise region 64 of the ply 56.
  • the furrow 52 next becomes shallower in the adjacent region 66 to expose a portion of the ply 58 and becomes shallower in the region 68 to expose a portion of the ply 60.
  • a different color will be visible in the regions 64, 66 and 68.
  • plies may be utilized in accordance with the invention.
  • each colored ply would be adjacent to a ply having one of the other two colors.
  • the base ply 54 may be white and the ter ply black and each intermediate white ply as shown In Figure 3 in connection with the first embodiment could Zikewise be black instead of white.
