Description

La présente invention concerne un nouveau type de document officiel à usage personnel, un procédé de fabri­cation ainsi qu'un dispositif pour la mise en oeuvre du pro­cédé.The present invention relates to a new type of official document for personal use, a manufacturing process and a device for implementing the process.

On entend par l'expression "document officiel à usage personnel", l'ensemble des documents émanant d'un organisme étatique, délivrés à un individu particulier, com­portant au moins des renseignements relatifs à l'identité dudit individu. Habituellement, la durée de validité d'un tel document est déterminée par ledit organisme étatique. A titre d'exemple non limitatif, on peut citer la carte d'identité, le passeport, le permis de conduire, le certificat d'imma­triculation de véhicule, la carte de sécurité sociale.The expression "official document for personal use" means all the documents emanating from a state body, issued to a particular individual, containing at least information relating to the identity of said individual. Usually, the period of validity of such a document is determined by said state body. By way of nonlimiting example, one can cite the identity card, the passport, the driving license, the vehicle registration certificate, the social security card.

La définition donnée ci-dessus est valable pour l'ensemble de la description et des revendications de la pré­sente demande.The definition given above is valid for the entire description and claims of the present application.

Les documents qui sont actuellement en vigueur comportent des insertions telles que des impressions ou fili­granes qui permettent de rendre leur reproduction relativement difficile. Toutefois, ces dispositifs de sécurité ne garantis­sent pas à cent pour cent l'authenticité de leur fabrication et de leur origine. Ainsi, régulièrement, de faux documents sont mis en circulation.The documents which are currently in force include insertions such as prints or watermarks which make it relatively difficult to reproduce them. However, these safety devices do not guarantee one hundred percent the authenticity of their manufacture and their origin. Thus, regularly, false documents are put into circulation.

C'est pourquoi, il existe actuellement un besoin de sécuriser au maximum la fabrication de tels documents en rendant leur structure et leur mise au point suffisamment com­plexes pour ne pas pouvoir être imités.This is why, there is currently a need to secure as much as possible the manufacture of such documents by making their structure and their development sufficiently complex so as not to be able to be imitated.

La présente invention répond à un tel besoin en fournissant un nouveau type de document officiel à usage per­sonnel, un procédé de fabrication ainsi qu'un dispositif pour la mise en oeuvre d'un tel procédé.The present invention meets such a need by providing a new type of official document for personal use, a manufacturing process and a device for implementing such a process.

Ce document est essentiellement caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte :
- un papier-support revêtu au moins sur l'une de ses deux faces des couches successives suivantes

  • (a) un film thermofusible,
  • (b) un film photographique auto-positif dont la substance photo-sensible est placée du côté du papier-support.
This document is essentially characterized in that it includes:
- a backing paper coated at least on one of its two faces with the following successive layers
  • (a) a hot-melt film,
  • (b) a self-positive photographic film whose photo-sensitive substance is placed on the side of the backing paper.

Selon un mode particulier de réalisation de la présente invention, ledit papier support est rêvetu sur l'une de ses faces, d'un film plastifiant. Il s'agit de préférence d'un complexe polyester/polyéthylène.According to a particular embodiment of the present invention, said support paper is coated on one of its faces with a plasticizer film. It is preferably a polyester / polyethylene complex.

De préférence, le document de la présente inven­tion présente au moins sur l'une de ses faces, un film holo­graphique intercalé entre le papier-support et le film thermo­fusible.Preferably, the document of the present invention has at least on one of its faces, a holographic film interposed between the support paper and the hot-melt film.

Un type particulièrement préféré de papier-support est constitué par du papier fiduciaire. Par l'expression "pa­pier fiduciaire", on entend un papier type "billet de banque" dont le papier - support comporte avantageusement au moins un moyen qui permet de contrôler son authenticité. Ces moyens sont, par exemple, choisis dans le groupe suivant : filigrane, fil de sécurité, fibres fluorescentes, impression en iris, texte microligne, impression en taille douce, impres­sion réalisée avec une encre fluorescente visible ou invisible.A particularly preferred type of backing paper is fiduciary paper. The expression "fiduciary paper" means a paper of the "bank note" type, the support paper advantageously comprising at least one means which makes it possible to control its authenticity. These means are, for example, chosen from the following group: watermark, security thread, fluorescent fibers, iris printing, microline text, intaglio printing, printing produced with visible or invisible fluorescent ink.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation de la présente invention, ledit papier-support est enduit d'un réactif ther­mique à base de gélatine qui aliène le papier-support par colo­ration à une température voisine de 120°C, afin de rendre celui-­ci inutilisable si une manipulation est tentée par voie ther­mique.According to another embodiment of the present invention, said backing paper is coated with a gelatin-based thermal reagent which alienates the backing paper by coloring at a temperature in the region of 120 ° C, in order to make it unusable if manipulation is attempted thermally.

La présente invention concerne également un procédé de fabrication d'un tel document ainsi qu'un dispositif pour sa mise en oeuvre.The present invention also relates to a method of manufacturing such a document as well as a device for its implementation.

Le procédé en question est essentiellement carac­térisé en ce qu'il comporte les étapes suivantes :

  • (1) lecture par des moyens optiques puis traitement par des moyens informatiques d'une première partie d'informations contenues dans un nombre n supérieur ou égal à 1 de for­mulaires pré-établis,
  • (2) photographie sur film auto-positif de la seconde partie des informations contenues dans lesdits n formulaires,
  • (3) développement du film auto-positif issu de l'étape (2),
  • (4) fourniture d'une bande de papier-support préalablement revêtue du nombre adéquat de films holographique et impression sur ladite bande des informations lues lors de l'étape (1),
  • (5) fourniture simultanée du film photographique et de la quantité nécessaire de film thermofusible et, éventuelle­ment de film plastifiant pour permettre l'assemblage desdits documents,
  • (6) assemblage desdits documents par chauffage desdits films,
  • (7) découpage des n documents à l'unité,
  • (8) vérification par lecture optique du contenu des informa­tions imprimées sur lesdits n documents par comparaison avec les informations lues et traitées par des moyens informatiques lors de l'étape (1).
The process in question is essentially characterized in that it comprises the following stages:
  • (1) reading by optical means then processing by computer means of a first part of information contained in a number n greater than or equal to 1 of pre-established forms,
  • (2) photograph on self-positive film of the second part of the information contained in said n forms,
  • (3) development of the self-positive film resulting from step (2),
  • (4) supply of a strip of backing paper previously coated with the appropriate number of holographic films and printing on said strip of information read during step (1),
  • (5) simultaneous supply of the photographic film and of the necessary quantity of hot-melt film and, optionally of plasticizing film to allow the assembly of said documents,
  • (6) assembling said documents by heating said films,
  • (7) cutting of n documents individually,
  • (8) verification by optical reading of the content of the information printed on said n documents by comparison with the information read and processed by computer means during step (1).

Avantageusement, lorsque les deux faces (recto et verso) doivent être munies d'un film photographique recevant des informations, celles-ci seront photographiées simultanément sur un film auto-positif unique qui sera ensuite coupé en deux ; les deux parties obtenues seront alors appliquées après retournement de l'une d'entre elles sur les deux faces du document et assemblées avec celui-ci.Advantageously, when the two sides (front and back) must be provided with a photographic film receiving information, this will be photographed simultaneously on a single self-positive film which will then be cut in half; the two parts obtained will then be applied after turning one of them over the two sides of the document and assembled with it.

La présente invention concerne aussi un disposi­tif pour la mise en oeuvre de ce procédé. Il est principale­ment caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend :
- des premier et second moyens de lecture optique, respecti­vement pour la lecture d'informations contenues dans les­dits formulaires pré-établis et pour la vérification du contenu des informations imprimées sur lesdits documents,
- des moyens de traitement informatique desdits informations,
- un banc photographique,
- des moyens d'impression pour l'impression des informations lues par lesdits premiers moyens optiques,
- des moyens de fourniture de papier-support, de film thermo­fusible, de film photographique auto-positif et/ou plasti­fiant vers des moyens d'assemblage desdits documents, ainsi que
- des moyens de découpe des documents à l'unité.The present invention also relates to a device for implementing this method. It is mainly characterized in that it includes:
first and second optical reading means, respectively for reading information contained in said pre-established forms and for verifying the content of the information printed on said documents,
- means of computer processing of said information,
- a photo bench,
printing means for printing the information read by said first optical means,
means for supplying support paper, hot-melt film, self-positive and / or plasticizing photographic film to means for assembling said documents, as well as
- means for cutting documents individually.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages des docu­ment, procédé et dispositif de la présente invention apparaî­tront à la lecture de la description qui va suivre, faite en référence à des dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • - la figure 1 représente, en coupe, un exemple de document officiel, tel qu'une carte d'identité, conforme à la pré­sente invention,
  • - la figure 2 représente également en coupe, un second exemple de document officiel conforme à la présente invention, (On notera que les mêmes références numériques utilisées pour ces deux figures se rapportent à des éléments identiques).
  • - la figure 3 représente, schématiquement un exemple d'un dispositif pour la mise en oeuvre du procédé de la présente invention.
Other characteristics and advantages of the document, method and device of the present invention will appear on reading the description which follows, made with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • FIG. 1 represents, in section, an example of an official document, such as an identity card, in accordance with the present invention,
  • - Figure 2 also shows in section, a second example of an official document according to the present invention, (Note that the same reference numerals used for these two figures relate to identical elements).
  • - Figure 3 shows schematically an example of a device for implementing the method of the present invention.

En référence aux figures 1 et 2 qui illustrent la présente invention, on a représenté deux exemples non limi­tatifs de documents officiels. Il s'agit par exemple de nou­velles cartes d'identité.Referring to Figures 1 and 2 which illustrate the present invention, there are shown two non-limiting examples of official documents. These are, for example, new identity cards.

Ces cartes d'identité 1 et 1′ sont constituées d'un papier-support 2 qui consiste de préférence en un papier fiduciaire.These identity cards 1 and 1 ′ consist of a backing paper 2 which preferably consists of a fiduciary paper.

Ce papier-support comporte, dans sa structure même, au moins un moyen permettant d'en contrôler l'authen­ticité. Ces moyens consistent par exemple en un filigrane, un fil de sécurité des fibres fluorescentes, une impression en iris, un texte microligne, une impression en taille douce, une impression réalisée avec une encre fluorescente visible ou invisible.This backing paper comprises, in its very structure, at least one means enabling its authenticity to be checked. These means consist, for example, of a watermark, a fluorescent fiber security thread, an iris print, a microline text, an intaglio print, a print produced with a visible or invisible fluorescent ink.

Dans les exemples illustrés aux figures 1 et 2, le papier-support est enduit, sur chacune de ses faces, d'un réactif thermique 3 à base de gélatine, qui se colore à une température voisine de 120°C, le rendant ainsi inutilisable. Ce réactif thermique est particulièrement utile lorsque le papier-support consiste en un papier fiduciaire car il permet d'en contrôler l'authenticité. De plus, il semble qu'un tel papier présente une tendance à se défolier lorsqu'on le sou­met à une température élevée. Pour des personnes non autori­sées, les possibilités de reproduire un tel papier sont alors considérablement réduites . Selon la présente invention, le réactif thermique qui recouvre le papier rend ce dernier inu­tilisable avant même que ses feuillets ne se détachent les uns des autres. Ainsi, aucune information relative à la struc­ture du papier ne peut être obtenue par un éventuel contrefac­teur.In the examples illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, the backing paper is coated, on each of its faces, with a thermal reagent 3 based on gelatin, which colors at a temperature in the region of 120 ° C, thus rendering it unusable . This thermal reagent is particularly useful when the backing paper consists of fiduciary paper because it allows the authenticity to be checked. In addition, it seems that such paper has a tendency to defoliate when subjected to a high temperature. For unauthorized persons, the possibilities of reproducing such paper are then considerably reduced. According to the present invention, the thermal reagent which covers the paper makes the latter unusable even before its sheets are detached from each other. Thus, no information relating to the structure of the paper can be obtained by a possible counterfeiter.

En référence à la figure 1, le papier-support est revêtu sur chacune de ses faces d'un film holographique 4. Par l'expression "film holographique" on entend un film de type connu, par exemple à base d'aluminium, comportant une impression holographique. Un tel film peut, selon l'invention présenter une surface inférieure ou égale à la surface du papier-support. L'insertion d'un tel film, par exemple dans une carte d'identité permet de sécuriser le document en fai­sant obstacle à sa reproduction.With reference to FIG. 1, the backing paper is coated on each of its faces with a holographic film 4. The expression "holographic film" means a film of known type, for example based on aluminum, comprising a holographic print. According to the invention, such a film may have an area less than or equal to the area of the backing paper. The insertion of such a film, for example in an identity card, makes it possible to secure the document by preventing its reproduction.

Sur ce film holographique est disposé un film thermofusible 5 qui assure la fonction d'interface entre le film holographique et le film ci-après décrit. Ce film thermofusible consiste par exemple, en un copolymère d'éthy­lène, d'ester acrylique et d'anhydride maléique.On this holographic film is arranged a hot-melt film 5 which provides the interface function between the holographic film and the film described below. This film hot melt consists, for example, of a copolymer of ethylene, acrylic ester and maleic anhydride.

Comme mentionné précédemment, le film thermo­fusible est revêtu d'un film qui consiste en un film photo­graphique auto-positif 6.As mentioned previously, the hot-melt film is coated with a film which consists of a self-positive photographic film 6.

Un film auto-positif est défini comme étant un film capable de fournir directement par développement et fixage, une image de même polarité que celle de l'original. Il est disposé d'une telle façon que l'émulsion photo-sensible 7 se trouve du côté du papier-support.A self-positive film is defined as being a film capable of providing directly by development and fixing, an image of the same polarity as that of the original. It is arranged in such a way that the photo-sensitive emulsion 7 is on the side of the backing paper.

En référence à la figure 2, le papier-support enduit d'un réactif thermique, présente sur l'une de ses faces, les mêmes revêtements que ceux déjà décrits en référence à la figure 1, c'est-à-dire, un film holographique, un film thermofusible ainsi qu'un film photographique auto-positif.Referring to Figure 2, the backing paper coated with a thermal reagent, present on one of its faces, the same coatings as those already described with reference to Figure 1, that is to say, a holographic film, a hot-melt film as well as a self-positive photographic film.

L'autre face du papier-support est, quant à elle, recouverte d'un film plastifiant 8 qui consiste de pré­férence en un complexe polyester/polyéthylène de type connu. La fonction d'un tel film est de protéger le papier-support afin d'en limiter l'usure.The other side of the backing paper is, for its part, covered with a plasticizing film 8 which preferably consists of a polyester / polyethylene complex of known type. The function of such a film is to protect the backing paper in order to limit wear.

Dans le cas où le document objet de la présente invention consiste en une carte d'identité, cette dernière doit présenter des impressions relatives à l'identité de son possesseur ; elle doit également comporter une photograhie de l'individu, ainsi que sa signature et, le cas échéant, une empreinte digitale. Selon la présente invention, les impres­sions relatives à l'identité du possesseur seront supportées par exemple par le papier-support alors que l'image photogra­phique, la signature et l'empreinte digitale de l'individu seront transférées sur le film photographique auto-positif.In the case where the document object of the present invention consists of an identity card, the latter must present impressions relating to the identity of its owner; it must also include a photo of the individual, as well as his signature and, where applicable, a fingerprint. According to the present invention, the impressions relating to the identity of the owner will be supported for example by the support paper while the photographic image, the signature and the fingerprint of the individual will be transferred to the self-positive photographic film. .

Toutefois, les impressions relatives à l'identité de l'individu pourront être également transférées sur le même film photographique.However, the impressions relating to the identity of the individual may also be transferred to the same photographic film.

Ainsi, le document illustré à la figure 1, pré­sentera, par exemple d'un côté du papier-support, un exemplaire de la signature du possesseur et de l'autre, son empreinte digitale.Thus, the document illustrated in Figure 1, will present, for example on one side of the backing paper, a copy of the owner's signature and on the other, his fingerprint.

La présente invention concerne également un pro­cédé de fabrication en continu de documents tels que ceux décrits ci-dessus.The present invention also relates to a process for the continuous production of documents such as those described above.

La première étape de ce procédé consiste à lire par des moyens optiques et à traiter par des moyens infor­matiques, des informations contenues dans un nombre n, su­périeur ou égal à 1, de formulaires pré-établis : ces informations figureront sur les documents lorsque ceux-ci seront fabriqués. Le nombre n est, par exemple égal à 10. Ces informa­mations sont de préférence, des informations alphanumériques. Par exemple, il peut s'agir d'informations relatives à l'état civil de la personne à laquelle est destiné le document offi­ciel.The first step of this process consists in reading by optical means and in processing by computer means, information contained in a number n, greater than or equal to 1, of pre-established forms: this information will appear on the documents when they these will be manufactured. The number n is, for example equal to 10. This information is preferably alphanumeric information. For example, this may be information relating to the civil status of the person for whom the official document is intended.

A titre indicatif, les moyens informatiques évo­qués ci-dessus permettent de vérifier le contenu des informa­tions lues. Par exemple, un logiciel permet de détecter un nombre anormalement important de consonnes successives et bloque alors la poursuite du déroulement du procédé.As an indication, the IT resources mentioned above make it possible to verify the content of the information read. For example, software can detect an abnormally large number of successive consonants and then blocks the continuation of the process.

La seconde étape consiste à photographier sur un film auto-positif une seconde partie des informations conte­nues dans les formulaires évoqués plus haut. Les informations lues sont entre autres celles qui sont difficilement iden­tifiables par les moyens optiques : il s'agit par exemple de l'image photographique, la signature, une empreinte digi­tale de l'individu auquel sera délivré le document.The second stage consists in photographing on a self-positive film a second part of the information contained in the forms mentioned above. The information read is inter alia that which is difficult to identify by optical means: it is for example the photographic image, the signature, a fingerprint of the individual to whom the document will be delivered.

L'étape suivante consiste à développer par des moyens de type connu, le film auto-positif issu de l'étape précédente.The next step is to develop, by means of known type, the self-positive film from the previous step.

On procède alors par des moyens appropriés, à la fourniture d'une bande papier-support et à l'impression sur celle-ci, des informations lues optiquement, lors de la pre­mière étape du procédé. on notera que la bande de papier-­support est déjà revêtue, si désiré, du nombre approprié de films holographiques. L'impression des informations peut être effectuée par des moyens de type connu, par exemple à l'aide d'imprimantes à impact ou à transfert thermique. Il faut éga­lement noter que ces informations sont susceptibles de figurer sur chacune des faces du papier support. C'est pourquoi, selon une caractéristique particulière du procédé de la présente invention, ces informations sont imprimées sur les deux faces de la bande de papier support. On pourra alors utiliser deux imprimantes décalées l'une par rapport à l'autre.We then proceed by appropriate means, to supply a paper-support strip and to print thereon, information read optically, during the first step of the process. it will be noted that the strip of backing paper is already coated, if desired, with the appropriate number of holographic films. Printing of the information can be carried out by means of known type, for example using impact or thermal transfer printers. It should also be noted that this information is likely to appear on each side of the backing paper. This is why, according to a particular characteristic of the method of the present invention, this information is printed on both sides of the strip of support paper. We can then use two printers offset from each other.

A ce stade du procédé, on peut éventuellement procéder à l'impression d'un cachet officiel correspondant à l'organisme qui est susceptible de délivrer le document.At this stage of the process, one can possibly proceed to the printing of an official stamp corresponding to the organization which is likely to issue the document.

On fournit alors, simultanément, le film photo­graphique auto-positif ainsi que la quantité nécessaire de film thermofusible et, éventuellement de film plastifiant pour per­mettre l'assemblage desdits documents. Celui-ci est effectué par chauffage desdits films.The self-positive photographic film is then supplied simultaneously, as well as the necessary quantity of hot-melt film and, optionally of plasticizing film to allow the assembly of said documents. This is done by heating said films.

Quand l'assemblage des documents a été effectué , on peut éventuellement procéder au timbrage de ceux-ci. Dans l'ensemble de la description et des revendications de la pré­sente demande, on entend par "timbrage", le fait de créer, sur l'épaisseur dudit document, une effigie en relief.When the documents have been assembled, you can optionally stamp them. Throughout the description and claims of the present application, the term "stamping" means the fact of creating, on the thickness of said document, an effigy in relief.

Les documents sont ensuite découpés à l'unité. On procède alors à une vérification des informations imprimées sur lesdits documents par des moyens de lecture optique et com­paraison avec les informations lues et traitées par des moyens informatiques lors de la première étape du procédé.The documents are then cut out individually. The information printed on said documents is then checked by optical reading means and compared with the information read and processed by computer means during the first step of the process.

Lorsque ledit document possède des informations imprimées sur les deux faces du papier support, la vérifica­tion dont il est fait mention au paragraphe précédent est effectuée sur les deux faces dudit document par exemple par retournement de celui-ci.When said document has information printed on both sides of the support paper, the verification mentioned in the preceding paragraph is carried out on both sides of said document, for example by turning it over.

La présente invention concerne également un dis­positif de mise en oeuvre du procédé précédemment décrit. La figure 3 en illustre, très schématiquement un exemple de réalisation.The present invention also relates to a device for implementing the method described above. Figure 3 illustrates, very schematically an exemplary embodiment.

Ce dispositif comporte des moyens de lecture optique 10 qui servent pour la lecture d'informations con­tenues dans des formulaires 11. Ces moyens consistent, par exemple en une caméra de type CCD linéaire de résolution 1024 points. Ces moyens 10 sont associés à des moyens de traitement informatique 12 des informations lues précédem­ment. Ces informations sont de type alpha numérique.This device comprises optical reading means 10 which are used for reading information contained in forms 11. These means consist, for example, of a camera of the linear CCD type with 1024 point resolution. These means 10 are associated with computer processing means 12 for the information previously read. This information is of alpha numeric type.

Les formulaires sont amenés, par des moyens d'entrainement 13 vers un banc photographique 14. Ce banc 14 comporte un support en matière transparente 15, sur lequel sont amenés les formulaires par les moyens d'entraînement 13. Le banc 14 comporte également un support 16 muni d'objectifs photographiques 16′. Le nombre d'objectifs est égal au nombre de formulaires présent sur le support 15. Enfin, le banc pho­tographique est également muni d'un troisième support 17 des­tiné à recevoir un film photographique auto-positif 18. Ce film auto-positif est maintenu contre le support 17 par des moyens d'aspiration 19.The forms are brought, by drive means 13, to a photographic bench 14. This bench 14 includes a support made of transparent material 15, on which the forms are brought by the drive means 13. The bench 14 also includes a support 16 fitted with 16 ′ photographic lenses. The number of objectives is equal to the number of forms present on the support 15. Finally, the photographic bench is also provided with a third support 17 intended to receive a self-positive photographic film 18. This self-positive film is held against the support 17 by suction means 19.

Comme on l'a précisé précédemment, les informa­tions photographiées à l'aide de ce banc, sont,par exemple, l'image photographique de la personne à laquelle est destiné le document, son empreinte digitale, sa signature.As stated previously, the information photographed using this bench is, for example, the photographic image of the person for whom the document is intended, his fingerprint, his signature.

Les formulaires, une fois photographiés sont trans­portés par les moyens d'entrainement 13 vers un réceptacle 20.Once photographed, the forms are transported by the drive means 13 to a receptacle 20.

Le film auto-positif, alors qu'il a été insolé est acheminé par des moyens d'entrainement 21 vers des bains de développement photographique 22.The self-positive film, while it has been exposed, is conveyed by drive means 21 to photographic development baths 22.

Le dispositif comporte également des moyens de fourniture 23 de papier-support. On rappelle que le papier-­support comporte déjà si cela est désiré sur au moins l'une de ses faces, un film holographique. Le papier-support est entrainé par des moyens 24 vers des moyens d'impression 25, 25′ des informations lues par l'intermédiaire des moyens 10 précédemment décrits. Ces moyens d'impression consistent par exemple en des imprimantes à impact ou transfert thermique.The device also includes means 23 for supplying support paper. It will be recalled that the backing paper already has, if desired on at least one of its faces, a holographic film. The backing paper is driven by means 24 to printing means 25, 25 ′ of information read by means of the means 10 previously described. These printing means consist for example of impact or thermal transfer printers.

Simultanément, un film plastifiant est fourni par l'intermédiaire d'un dispositif 26, ainsi qu'un film thermofusible 27 par l'intermédiaire de moyens 28, vers de moyens d'assemblage 29. Dans le même temps, le fim photo­graphique précédemment développé est acheminé vers les moyens d'assemblage 29 par des moyens d'entrainement 21′.Simultaneously, a plasticizer film is supplied via a device 26, as well as a hot-melt film 27 via means 28, to assembly means 29. At the same time, the previously developed photographic film is routed to the assembly means 29 by drive means 21 ′.

Ces moyens d'assemblage 29 consistent par exemple en des moyens de chauffage qui permettent aux différents films de se lier ensemble. Les documents alors confectionnés sont découpés à l'unité par des moyens 30 et acheminés vers des moyens de lecture optique 31. Le contenu du document est alors vérifié par comparaison avec les informations lues avec le dispositif 10. Après traitement, les documents sont réceptionnés dans le réceptacle 32.These assembly means 29 consist, for example, of heating means which allow the different films to bond together. The documents then made up are cut out individually by means 30 and sent to optical reading means 31. The content of the document is then checked by comparison with the information read with the device 10. After processing, the documents are received in receptacle 32.

Le dispositif précédemment décrit permet la fa­brication de documents qui comportent, sur une face, un film plastifiant. Il est bien entendu que celui-ci peut être modi­fié pour permettre la fabrication de documents comportant, sur chaque face, un film photographique auto-positif. Le même film auto-positif est alors insolé simultanément pour les faces recto et verso du document. Il est ensuite coupé et une partie est retournée par des barres de retournement pour l'assemblage du document.The previously described device allows the production of documents which comprise, on one side, a plasticizer film. It is understood that this can be modified to allow the production of documents comprising, on each side, a self-positive photographic film. The same self-positive film is then exposed simultaneously for the front and back sides of the document. It is then cut and a part is turned over by turning bars for the assembly of the document.

Le contenu des deux faces du document sera alors vérifié par retournement de celui-ci devant les moyens de lecture optique 31.The content of the two sides of the document will then be verified by turning it over in front of the optical reading means 31.

A titre d'exemple, le document conforme à l'invention peut présenter les épaisseurs suivantes : . Papier-support 100 à 250 µm . film holographique 20 à 40 µm . film thermofusible 30 à 50 µm . film photographique autopositif 110 à 200 µm . film plastifiant 200 à 300 µm. By way of example, the document according to the invention can have the following thicknesses: . Backing paper 100 to 250 µm . holographic film 20 to 40 µm . hot melt film 30 to 50 µm . autopositive photographic film 110 to 200 µm . plasticizer film 200 to 300 µm.
