  • the present invention relates to an engraved face photograph display sheet and a face photograph display sheet to be collated with an identification face photograph, and a certificate for use with the sheets, and more particularly, to an engraved face photograph display sheet, a face photograph display sheet and a certificate for use with the sheets which can be inserted together with sheets, on which necessary articles are mentioned, into an identification notebook, such as a passport, a certificate or the like.
  • the identification certificate besides the passport, a stock certificate, a bankbook, a personal check, a car registration certificate and the like are given as examples of the identification certificate.
  • a face photograph which is attached to various kinds of certificates, such as a passport, is taken by the applicant, pasted on a prescribed sheet of a certificate, sealed to prevent forgery, and covered with a transparent sticker.
  • the photograph tends to peel in the above adhesion method, it is possible that the certificate will be forged or altered by exchanging the photograph for another photograph. For example, if a traveler has his passport stolen or has lost his passport, the passport may be abused and the traveler may sustain an unexpected loss.
  • the inventor of the present invention conducted various examinations and found that it was possible to easily judge whether an adhering photograph is exchanged for another photograph and to perfectly prevent forgery by engraving a face photograph or a two-tone (for example, black and white or brown and white) photograph on a synthetic resin sheet according to a face photograph adhering at the time of application, so that the inventor has developed the present invention.
  • a face photograph or a two-tone (for example, black and white or brown and white) photograph on a synthetic resin sheet according to a face photograph adhering at the time of application, so that the inventor has developed the present invention.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a face photograph display sheet to be collated with an identification face photograph, in which a face photograph with density gradation is engraved on a surface layer at a predetermined portion of a synthetic resin sheet.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a face photograph display sheet to be collated with an identification face photograph, in which a colored engraving base layer is buried in a synthetic resin sheet and forms a smooth plane connected to the sheet as a unit, and in which a face photograph with density gradation is engraved on the colored engraving base layer.
  • Still another object of the present invention is to provide a certificate, such as a passport, in which an engraved face photograph display sheet or a face photograph display sheet having the above arrangement is inserted and fastened.
  • a face photograph with density gradation is directly engraved on a surface layer at a predetermined portion of a synthetic resin sheet.
  • a colored engraving base layer is buried in a synthetic resin sheet and forms a smooth plane connected to the sheet as a unit and a face photograph with density gradation is engraved (engraved with two colors, such as black and white) on the colored engraving base layer.
  • a face photograph is directly engraved on a surface layer at a predetermined portion of a synthetic resin sheet, and a two-tone, such as black and white, image (face photograph) engraved on a colored engraving base layer is buried in the synthetic resin sheet and forms a smooth plane connected to the sheet as a unit. Therefore, the sheet has high durability, is more unlikely to be damaged by friction compared with the case in which the photograph is pasted on the sheet, and can withstand long use.
  • Figs. 1 and 2 are sectional views showing an embodiment of a process of producing the present invention
  • Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing the state in which a passport is open.
  • a face photograph display sheet 12 is formed in the same shape as each sheet 11 in a passport 10 ⁇ shown in Fig. 3 by using a synthetic resin sheet approximately 0 ⁇ .1 to 0 ⁇ .2mm in thickness. Then, an engraved face photograph 15 with density gradation is engraved at a proper portion of the face photograph display sheet 12 by means of a conventional known engraving apparatus, described below, based on a photograph 13 attached in the same manner as on a conventional passport. As a result, a passport in which the engraved face photograph display sheet is inserted and fastened can be produced.
  • the face photograph is directly engraved on a surface layer at a predetermined portion of the synthetic resin sheet.
  • a colored engraving base layer is unitedly buried in a synthetic resin sheet and a face photograph is engraved on the colored engraving base layer, will be described.
  • a face photograph display sheet 12 is formed in the same shape as each sheet 11 in a passport 10 ⁇ by using a synthetic resin sheet 1 of approximately 0 ⁇ .1 to 0 ⁇ .2mm in thickness. Then, as shown in Fig. 1, a colored engraving base layer 2 is mounted on the face photograph display sheet 12 (the synthetic resin sheet 1). In order to mount the colored engraving base layer, a method of applying paints, ink composite or the like or a printing method, such as offset printing, can be used. Next, as shown in Fig.
  • the face photograph display sheet 12 provided with the colored engraving base layer 2 is applied with heat and pressure by means of a heating plate, a heating roller or the like so as to bury the colored engraving base layer 2 into the face photograph display sheet 12 (the synthetic resin sheet 1) and form a smooth plane unitedly composed of the colored engraving base layer 2 and the face photograph display sheet 12 (the synthetic resin sheet 1).
  • a face photograph 16 which is a black and white shaded image with density gradation, is engraved at a proper portion 14 of such face photograph display sheet 12 by means of a conventional known engraving apparatus, described below, according to a photograph 13 attached in the same manner as in a conventional passport, so that a passport in which the face photograph display sheet is inserted an fastened can be produced.
  • Fig. 4 is a structural view of a conventional known engraving apparatus and shows the mechanism for engraving an engraved face photograph or a face photograph at a proper portion of a sheet according to a photograph document.
  • the apparatus is disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication (Kokoku) No.54-31410 ⁇ , No.54-25451 and so on.
  • numeral 21 denotes a scanning head provided with a light source lamp and a multiplication tube
  • numeral 22 denotes an engraving head provided with an engraving stylus which vibrates up and down.
  • a document pedestal 23 for laying a photograph document 28 thereon and an engraving pedestal 24 for laying a sheet 29 thereon are respectively disposed under both heads 21 and 22 and connected to a swing arm 26 through a swing lever 25.
  • a spotlight from the light source in the scanning head 21 shines a point on the photograph document 28, the light reflected from the point enters the light multiplication tube, and photoelectric current in accordance with the amount of the light reflected from the photograph document 28, that is, the shade of the photograph document 28 arises.
  • the photoelectric current passes through a proper calculation amplification circuit and controls the degree to which the stylus of the engraving head 22 cuts into the sheet 29 (precisely, the colored engraving base layer disposed on a proper portion of the sheet 29).
  • the tip of the stylus is pyramidal, if the stylus cuts deep into the sheet 29, the area of a concave portion is large and the area of the remained portion of the sheet 29 is small. In other words, that corresponds to a high-light portion of the photograph document 28. On the other hand, if the stylus cuts shallowly, the area of the concave portion is small, the area of the remained portion is large, and that corresponds to a shadow portion of the photograph document 28. Thus, an engraved image with density gradation, such as a face photograph, is formed.
  • the number of lines in the direction of the reciprocation movement of the engraving pedestal 24 is determined by adding a periodical intermittent movement in accordance with the desired number of lines and the speed of the reciprocation movement of the pedestal to the up and down movement of the stylus in accordance with the shades.
  • the kind of the synthetic resin sheet 1 forming the face photograph display sheet 12 is particularly not limited, the sheet may be made of a conventional plastic material, such polyvinyl chloride resin, polyolefine resin or the like.
  • a coloring agent in the paints or the ink composite used to mount the colored engraving base layer 2 a conventional inorganic pigment, a conventional organic dye or pigment or the like can be used.
  • the face photograph display sheet As described above, according to the engraved face photograph display sheet, the face photograph display sheet and the certificate for use with the sheets, even if the attached photograph is exchanged for another photograph, since it is impossible to exchange the engraved face photograph, which is a black and white shaded image, of the present invention, identification can be easily and certainly performed. Therefore, it is possible to extremely effectively utilize an identification notebook, such as a passport, a certificate and so on.
