Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de sécurité pour l'identification de produits et notamment un dispositif constitué par une étiquette de sécurité destinée à être apposée sur des produits ou articles dont on souhaite identifier l'origine, comme par exemple les pièces détachées ou pièces de rechange de l'industrie automobile.The present invention relates to a safety device for product identification and in particular a device consisting of a safety label intended to be affixed to products or articles of which we want to identify the origin, such as spare parts or automotive industry spare parts.
La plupart des articles commercialisés ou des pièces intermédiaires de l'industrie sont identifiés à l'aide d'étiquettes auto-adhésives, collées directement sur l'article ou collées sur l'emballage. Simultanément à l'information apportée sur la nature et les caractéristiques dudit article, cette étiquette indique l'origine et le nom du fabricant et/ou du revendeur.Most marketed items or intermediate parts of the industry are identified using self-adhesive labels, stuck directly on the article or stuck on the packaging. Simultaneously with the information provided on the nature and characteristics of said article, this label indicates the origin and name of the manufacturer and / or reseller.
Cependant, dans certains secteurs industriels comme l'industrie automobile ou les parfums, il devient fréquent de trouver des articles contrefaits sur lesquels sont apposées des étiquettes en tous points identiques à celles portées par l'article original : de tels articles, dont la qualité peut être très inférieure à celle des pièces authentiques, peuvent être ainsi confondus avec les objets fournis par le fabricant véritable. Actuellement, les pertes financières causées par la contrefaçon des seules pièces de carrosseries d'automobiles sur le marché français sont très considérables.However, in certain industrial sectors such as industry automotive or perfumes, it becomes common to find items counterfeits on which labels are affixed in all identical points to those worn by the original article: such articles, the quality of which may be much lower than authentic coins, can be as well confused with the objects supplied by the real manufacturer. Currently, financial losses caused by the counterfeiting of only body parts cars on the French market are very considerable.
Par ailleurs, notamment dans le domaine des pièces de rechange pour l'automobile, la qualité douteuse de certains articles contrefaits, comme par exemple des plaquettes de frein, peut nuire à la sécurité de l'utilisateur à son insu. En effet, certaines des plaquettes de frein non d'origine peuvent s'user au bout d'un temps relativement réduit, ce qui peut causer des accidents graves et même mortels. Le marquage de sécurité inaltérable est un des moyens possibles pour entraver le développement de la contrefaçon. In addition, particularly in the area of spare parts for the automobile, the questionable quality of certain counterfeit items, such as brake pads, for example, may affect the safety of the user. without his knowledge. Indeed, some of the non-original brake pads may wear out after a relatively short time, which can cause serious and even fatal accidents. The unalterable security marking is a possible means to hinder the development of counterfeiting.
Une des solutions proposées consiste en des étiquettes auto-adhésives qui comprennent des signes ou des écrits imprimés avec une encre spéciale luminescente qui ne permet la lecture des écrits et/ou signes que si l'étiquette est soumise à un rayonnement ultraviolet. Un tel type d'étiquette reprend le principe d'un document sécuritaire notamment décrit dans la demande de brevet français FR-2 552 023, ledit document comprenant un support dépourvu d'agent fluorescent sur lequel est imprimé un pavé à l'aide d'une encre fluorescente visible sous un rayonnement ultraviolet et ce, dans le but de rendre le document non reproductible par photocopie. Un exemple d'étiquette de securité basée sur l'emploi d'une encre fluorescente pour imprimer des caractères invisibles à la lumière naturelle, comme marque d'authenticité, est donné par le brevet US-A-2 262 492.One of the proposed solutions consists of self-adhesive labels which include signs or writings printed with ink special luminescent which only allows reading of writings and / or signs if the label is subjected to ultraviolet radiation. Such a type of label takes up the principle of a security document notably described in the French patent application FR-2,552,023, said document comprising a support without fluorescent agent on which a block is printed using of a fluorescent ink visible under ultraviolet radiation and this, in the purpose of making the document non-reproducible by photocopy. An example of a security label based on using fluorescent ink to print characters invisible to natural light, as a mark of authenticity, is given by patent US-A-2,262,492.
La présente invention a pour but de proposer un dispositif d' identification de produits qui est de plus haute sécurité et simple à réaliser.The object of the present invention is to propose a device product identification which is more secure and simple to carry out.
La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif du type comprenant un support dans lequel sont dispersés des agents luminescents, et qui est caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend en outre au moins une partie opaque disposée sur au moins une partie luminescente du support, ladite partie opaque étant de même couleur que ladite partie luminescente et présentant au moins un contour qui est de couleur différente, le dispositif présentant sous l'effet d'un rayonnement prédéterminé dans le spectre non visible, une image différente de celle observée en lumière naturelle. Par lumière naturelle, on entend la lumière du jour ou la lumière artificielle utilisée couramment et obtenue par exemple au moyen de lampes à incandescence ou à décharge.The subject of the present invention is a device of the type comprising a support in which luminescent agents are dispersed, and which is characterized in that it further comprises at least one opaque part disposed on at least one luminescent part of the support, said part opaque being of the same color as said luminescent part and having at minus a contour which is of different color, the device having under the effect of a predetermined radiation in the invisible spectrum, an image different from that observed in natural light. By natural light, we hears commonly used daylight or artificial light and obtained for example by means of incandescent or discharge lamps.
Un autre objet de la présente invention est une étiquette de sécurité du type comprenant des agents luminescents et qui est caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend également au moins une partie apparente imprimée avec une encre opaque de même couleur que le papier support, ladite encre opaque étant visible seulement sous un rayonnement ultraviolet et en ce que ladite partie imprimée avec l'encre opaque est délimitée par au moins un contour imprimé à l'encre de couleur différente de l'encre opaque.Another object of the present invention is a label for safety of the type comprising luminescent agents and which is characterized by what it also includes at least an exposed part printed with an opaque ink of the same color as the backing paper, said ink opaque being visible only under ultraviolet radiation and in that said part printed with opaque ink is delimited by at least one outline printed with ink in a color different from opaque ink.
Les dispositif et étiquettes selon la présente invention présentent l'avantage de ne pouvoir être identifiés à la lumière du jour qu'elle soit artificielle ou naturelle comme la lumière solaire et dont les moyens constitutifs sont difficiles à déceler même par des personnes averties. The devices and labels according to the present invention have the advantage of not being able to be identified in the light of day that it is artificial or natural like sunlight and whose means constitutive are difficult to detect even by informed people.

Le dispositif selon l'invention et représenté sur la figure 1
comprend un support 1 dans lequel sont dispersés des agents luminescents,
de préférence sur toute la surface dudit support dont la couleur est par
exemple blanche. Au moins une partie opaque 2, de même couleur que le
support 1, blanche en l'occurrence, est disposée sur ledit support et délimitée
par un contour 3 qui est de couleur différente, par exemple noire. L'intérieur
4 de la partie opaque 2, ne doit pas être différencié du support 1 à la lumière
naturelle mais seulement identifiable sous un rayonnement prédéterminé tel
qu'un rayonnement ultraviolet.The device according to the invention and shown in Figure 1
comprises a
Dans le cas où la partie opaque recevrait une impression. cette dernière pourra être en positif ou en négatif comme cela est décrit à propos des modes de réalisation représentés sur les figures 2 à 4.In case the opaque part receives an impression. this last can be positive or negative as described about embodiments shown in Figures 2 to 4.
Une étiquette selon l'invention est imprimée sur un support contenant des agents de luminescence: de préférence, ce support sera un papier blanc de type vélin ou couché, etc... qui contient d'origine des azurants optiques destinés à renforcer la couleur blanche de ce papier; on peut également utiliser d'autres types de support, par exemple des films en matières synthétiques comme du polyester, du polypropylène, à condition que ces matières contiennent des agents luminescents. Ce support est ensuite imprimé avec une encre blanche opaque, ne contenant pas d'agents luminescents, puis à nouveau imprimé avec une ou plusieurs encres de couleur pour inscrire les informations habituellement portées par une étiquette. Les impressions à l'encre blanche et à l'encre de couleur sont réalisées de telle façon que les zones imprimées à l'encre blanche opaque restant visibles sont délimitées par des zones imprimées à l'encre de couleur : de cette façon, il n'existe aucun endroit qui serait susceptible de faire apparaítre un léger contraste existant entre le papier blanc et l'encre blanche et qui pourrait être détectable à la lumière ambiante, naturelle ou artificielle. Seul un rayonnement ultraviolet peut faire apparaítre une nette différence de luminescence entre les zones imprimées à l'encre blanche qui apparaissent foncées et le papier blanc qui est luminescent.A label according to the invention is printed on a support containing luminescence agents: preferably, this support will be a white vellum or coated paper, etc ... which contains original optical brighteners intended to enhance the white color of this paper; we can also use other types of support, for example films in synthetic materials such as polyester, polypropylene, provided that these materials contain luminescent agents. This support is then printed with opaque white ink, free of agents luminescent, then printed again with one or more inks of color to enter the information usually carried by a label. White ink and color ink prints are made in such a way that the areas printed with opaque white ink remaining visible are delimited by areas printed in ink color: in this way, there is no place that could show a slight contrast between the white paper and the ink white and could be detectable in ambient, natural or artificial. Only ultraviolet radiation can produce a clear difference in luminescence between the areas printed in white ink which appear dark and the white paper is luminescent.
Les étiquettes ainsi imprimées permettent d'authentifier les articles sur lesquels elles sont apposées en raison de la présence de signes distinctifs, non visibles à la lumière ambiante ordinaire.The labels thus printed make it possible to authenticate the articles on which they are affixed because of the presence of distinctive signs, not visible in ordinary ambient light.
Ces étiquettes peuvent être fixées à l'aide d'un lien mais on préfère les étiquettes collées ou auto-adhésives qui ne peuvent pas être séparées de l'article sans se détruire.These labels can be attached using a link but prefer glued or self-adhesive labels which cannot be separated from the article without destroying themselves.
Selon le mode de réalisation de la figure 2, on utilise un support
21 adhésivé et muni d'un protecteur pour fabriquer l'étiquette. Ce support
est en papier blanc, et contient des agents luminescents destinés à renforcer
le blanc à la lumière ambiante. Ce support est imprimé en positif avec des
lettres et signes 23 formant par exemple le logo d'une société. Certaines
parties fermées des lettres, comme par exemple le centre de la lettre O de
référence 22, sont imprimées avec une encre blanche opaque : à la lumière
du jour, le nom apparaít de façon habituelle. Sous un rayonnement
ultraviolet, le nom apparaítra de façon différente puisque la lettre O aura
alors la forme d'un disque plein et n'aura plus la forme habituelle d'un
anneau.According to the embodiment of Figure 2, using a
Selon le mode de réalisation de la figure 3, on utilise pour
fabriquer l'étiquette, un support 31, en papier vélin blanc contenant des
agents de luminescence, adhésivé et muni d'un protecteur. On imprime, sur
une partie de l'étiquette, un pavé rectangulaire 32 de dimension a x b avec
de l'encre blanche opaque. Après séchage de l'encre, on imprime, avec
l'encre de couleur, un second pavé 33 contenant une impression en négatif
ou en réserve du sigle de la société, ce second pavé 33 étant de dimension a
x b exactement superposé au pavé d'encre blanche 32. De cette façon, les
caractères du sigle sont imprimés avec l'encre blanche et, au contraire d'une
impression classique en réserve qui montrerait ces caractères luminescents
sous un rayonnement ultraviolet, l'étiquette selon l'invention ne laisse pas
apparaítre les caractères sous le rayonnement ultraviolet.According to the embodiment of FIG. 3, one uses for
make the label, a
Le mode de réalisation de la figure 4 a été réalisé selon le même principe que celui de la figure 1, mais les parties fermées des lettres P, A et O ont été imprimées à l'encre blanche.The embodiment of Figure 4 was made according to the same principle as that of Figure 1, but the closed parts of the letters P, A and O have been printed in white ink.
Ces trois exemples sont donnés pour illustrer l'invention, mais ne sauraient en limiter la portée; il est en effet possible de combiner à l'infini les impressions avec les encres de couleur et l'encre opaque blanche pour obtenir des impressions de type sécuritaire. Les exemples ont été décrits en utilisant un papier blanc qui présente l'avantage de contenir dès sa fabrication des agents luminescents ; on peut également utiliser d'autres supports, par exemple des films en matière de synthèse, tel que du polyester ou du polypropylène, qui sont spécialement imprégnés ou enduits avec des agents luminescents ; en variante de l'invention, le support de l'étiquette peut être d'une couleur claire autre que blanche et dans ce cas, on utilise une encre opaque présentant, à la lumière ambiante du jour, une couleur identique à celle du support. Ainsi, par l'utilisation d'une étiquette selon l'invention, il sera possible, simplement et rapidement, de vérifier l'authenticité d'un objet en s'assurant de la conformité de l'étiquette, celle-ci ayant un aspect habituel à la lumière ambiante du jour, mais une apparence particulière sous un rayonnement ultraviolet.These three examples are given to illustrate the invention, but do not can limit its scope; it is indeed possible to combine to infinity prints with colored inks and white opaque ink for get secure type prints. The examples have been described in using white paper which has the advantage of containing as soon as manufacture of luminescent agents; we can also use other supports, for example synthetic films, such as polyester or polypropylene, which are specially impregnated or coated with luminescent agents; as a variant of the invention, the label support can be a light color other than white and in this case we use a opaque ink with color in ambient light identical to that of the support. So, by using a label according to invention, it will be possible, simply and quickly, to verify the authenticity of an object by ensuring the conformity of the label, this one having a usual appearance in daylight, but an appearance particular under ultraviolet radiation.
De telles étiquettes comprenant une impression sécuritaire sont plus particulièrement destinées à identifier et authentifier des objets ou articles sujets à la contrefaçon, comme par exemple des pièces détachées d'automobile ou des articles de haute valeur de l'industrie de luxe.Such labels including secure printing are more particularly intended to identify and authenticate objects or counterfeit goods, such as spare parts automotive or high value luxury goods.
Une autre application du dispositif selon l'invention est l'authentification de documents contenant des informations importantes, lesdits documents comportant des parties imprimées selon l'invention ; ces parties imprimées peuvent être obtenues par une impression ou au moyen d'une étiquette auto-adhésive telle que celles décrites ci-dessus.Another application of the device according to the invention is authentication of documents containing important information, said documents comprising parts printed according to the invention; these printed parts can be obtained by printing or by means of a self-adhesive label such as those described above.
