Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing documents which have a substrate and at least one security mark, according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • the invention has for its object to improve a method of the type mentioned in such a way that security marks can be applied to documents in such a way that the risk of unusable documents provided with security marks is reduced. This can improve manufacturing productivity.
  • an adhesive that can be activated by UV or electron beams is first applied to the film strip, and then the adhesive layer by means of UV or electron beams is activated. This is followed by punching out the security tag provided with the activated adhesive from the film strip. The security mark is finally pressed onto the substrate in order to stick there.
  • the substrate already provided with the security mark is additionally irradiated with UV or electron beams, which promotes the curing of the adhesive.
  • a coating unit 1 coats the film 3 on one side with the adhesive 3.
  • the adhesive 3 is a cold adhesive which is liquid but not sticky in the initial state and which only becomes sticky when irradiated with an ultraviolet light-emitting first UV source 4.
  • the substrate 5 to be provided with a security mark can be in the form of a sheet or in the form of a roll. These are, for example, large sheets that contain a number of banknotes that have already been printed but not yet cut.
  • the adhesive 3 can also be an adhesive that can be activated by electron radiation.
  • the UV source 4 is then replaced by an electron beam source.
  • the film tape 2 is a tape containing security marks, which will be described later.
  • the film strip 2 coated on one side with adhesive 3 and the substrate 5 are fed to a stamping and gluing unit 6, the side of the film strip 2 coated with the adhesive 3 facing the substrate 5.
  • security marks 7 are punched out of the film strip and glued to the substrate 5.
  • the film strip 2, from which the security marks 7 have already been punched out, is rolled up on a reel 8.
  • the substrate 5 provided with the security marks 7 is fed to a cutting device, not shown, in which the arcuate or endless substrate 5 is divided into the individual documents.
  • the substrate 5 provided with the security marks 7 can previously be exposed to the radiation from a second UV source 9. This has the advantage that the adhesive 3 hardens completely, so that there is then a particularly intimate and permanent connection between the security marks 7 and the substrate 5. If an adhesive 3 that can be activated by electron radiation is used, a second electron beam source replaces the second UV source 9.
  • FIG. 2 An example of the film strip 2 is shown in FIG. 2. It consists of a transparent carrier layer 11, on which an intermediate layer 12, a first lacquer layer 13, a reflection layer 14 and a second lacquer layer 15 are applied in the order given.
  • This structure is known from EP-A-0 401 466. It contains embossed diffraction structures 16 which are repeated several times in the foil strip 2.
  • FIG. 3 shows a single security mark 7 with a layer of adhesive 3 which is punched out of the film strip 2.
  • the reference numbers correspond to those in FIG. 2.
  • the method according to the invention for producing documents with security tags 7 using an adhesive 3 that can be activated by ultraviolet light or by electron radiation consists in coating the film strip 2 containing the security tags 7 with an adhesive 3 that can be activated by ultraviolet light or by electron radiation, the subsequently Adhesive 3 is activated by ultraviolet light or electron radiation, and that 2 security marks 7 are punched out of the film strip, which are then immediately adhered to the substrate 5 in the punching and gluing unit 6.
  • an adhesive 3 which can be activated by ultraviolet light or electron radiation instead of a hot adhesive has the advantage that the device for punching and sticking security tags is very simple because a heating device can be dispensed with.
  • a stamp 22 is attached to a stamp plate 21.
  • a cutting tool guide 23 is guided by guide pins 24 and supported against the stamp plate 21 by means of springs 25.
  • a die 26 is attached to the cutting tool guide 23.
  • the cutting tool guide 23 and the die 26 together form a cutting tool 27.
  • the substrate 5 lies on a counterpressure plate 28.
  • the foil strip 2 is passed between the punch 22 and the die 26.
  • the film strip 2 and the substrate 5 have register marks (not shown) which are recognized by means of register mark readers (also not shown) and the exact mutual positioning of the film strip 2 and substrate 5 in the usual manner Allow wise.
  • the substrate 5 is first clamped between the counter-pressure plate 28 and a support surface 29 of the die 26.
  • the stamp 22 moves relative to the cutting tool 27 and an end face 30 of the stamp 22 presses the film strip 2 against a support surface 31 of the die 26.
  • the punch 22 then dips into an opening 32 of the die 26, whereby the film strip 2 is cut at the moment of immersion. 4, a security mark 7 is cut out of the film strip 2, which is then located on the end face 30 of the stamp 22.
  • the stamp 22 now moves further towards the counter-pressure plate 28 until the end face 30 of the stamp 22 with the security mark 7 is placed on the substrate 5. At the moment of placement, the security mark 7 is glued to the substrate 5.
  • the cutting tool 27 and the punch 22 then move away from the counterpressure plate 28 again.
  • the film strip 2 and substrate 5 are moved on by means not shown, so that the next cutting and gluing process can then take place.
  • the support surface 31 is coated with an anti-adhesive. It can be teflon-coated or siliconized. During punching, the film strip 2 is supported with its side coated with the adhesive 3 on this support surface 31.
  • a punching and gluing unit 6 according to FIG. 1 advantageously contains several of the tools shown in FIG. 4, so that several security marks 7 can be glued to the substrate 5 in one operation.
  • the film strip 2 can also be a continuous strip on the Substrate 5 are glued. In this case, punching can be dispensed with entirely.
