Abstract

The security document (W1), with a security film section (2) has a machine-readable variable print (3a,4a) applied to the film before it is bonded durably to the document. After the film is fitted, it is passed through a scanner which reads the information and controls a printer to reproduce the variable printed matter at another section of the document. The variable information on the film is preferably a letter or figure series. The printer is preferably a non-impact type such as an ink jet printer, to reproduce the serial number in the same or different scale.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von Dokumenten, insbesondere von Wertscheinen, mit einem Sicherheitsmerkmal in Form eines Folienelements, welches dauerhaft mit dem Dokument verbunden wird und nicht ohne Zerstörung veränderbar ist, sowie auf ein Dokument, insbesondere einen Wertschein, mit einem solchen Sicherheitsmerkmal.The invention relates to a method for producing documents, in particular notes of value, with a security feature in the form of a film element which is permanently connected to the document and cannot be changed without destruction, and to a document, in particular a note of money, with such Security feature.

Derartige Dokumente in Form von Wertscheinen sind beispielsweise aus der EP-A-0 625 466 bekannt. Danach werden zur Erhöhung der Fälschungssicherheit auf die Wertscheine Folienabschnitte mit optisch variablen Bildern aufgeklebt, bei denen es sich insbesondere um Hologramme oder Kinegramme handelt, welche ihre Farbe und ihr Aussehen in Abhängigkeit vom Betrachtungswinkel ändern. Derartige Wertscheine können mit Farbkopierern nicht reproduziert werden.Such documents in the form of notes of value are known, for example, from EP-A-0 625 466. Then, in order to increase the security against forgery, foil sections with optically variable images are glued onto the notes of value, which are in particular holograms or kinegrams, which change their color and their appearance depending on the viewing angle. Such notes of value cannot be reproduced with color copiers.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Fälschungssicherheit von Dokumenten, vor allem Banknoten, unter Verwendung von Folienelementen noch weiter zu erhöhen, indem ein zusätzliches Sicherheitsmerkmal geschaffen wird, welches nicht nur die individuelle Registrierung eines Dokuments erlaubt, sondern auch von jedem Laien ohne technische Hilfsmittel erkannt werden kann und welches einfach und zuverlässig herstellbar ist.The present invention has for its object to further increase the security against forgery of documents, especially banknotes, by using film elements by creating an additional security feature which not only allows the individual registration of a document, but also by any layperson without technical Aids can be recognized and which is easy and reliable to manufacture.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst.This object is achieved according to the invention by the features specified in the characterizing part of claim 1.

Die variable Bildinformation enthält vorzugsweise eine Zeichenkombination in Form einer Buchstaben- und/oder Ziffernfolge, die zum Beispiel als Bestandteil der Seriennummer auf die Wertscheine aufgebracht werden kann, und kann im gleichen oder im geändertem Massstab reproduziert werden.The variable image information preferably contains a combination of characters in the form of a sequence of letters and / or numbers, which can be applied to the value notes as part of the serial number, for example, and can be reproduced on the same or a different scale.

Vorzugsweise weist das Folienelement nicht nur die variable Bildinformation, sondern auch einen nicht veränderlichen Bildanteil, beispielsweise in Form eines Hologramms, auf.The film element preferably not only has the variable image information, but also an unchangeable image portion, for example in the form of a hologram.

Das Aufbringen der gelesenen variablen Bildinformation auf den Dokumenten erfolgt vorzugsweise mit einem Non-Impact-Drucker, insbesondere einem Farbstrahldrucker.The readable variable image information is preferably applied to the documents using a non-impact printer, in particular a color jet printer.

Ein Dokument nach der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das dauerhaft mit ihm verbundene Folienelement eine von Dokument zu Dokument variable Bildinformation aufweist und dass dieselbe Bildinformation nochmals, ausserhalb des Folienelements, auf das Dokument aufgedruckt ist, und zwar als Kopie im gleichen oder im veränderten Massstab.A document according to the invention is characterized in that the film element permanently connected to it has image information that is variable from document to document and that the same image information is printed on the document again, outside the film element, as a copy on the same or a different scale .

Die Erfindung wird anhand der Zeichnung an einem Ausführungsbeispiel für den Fall von Wert scheinen mit Seriennummer näher erläutert. Es zeigen :The invention will be explained with reference to the drawing of an embodiment for the case of value seem with serial number. Show it :

Figuren 1 und 2 zwei verschiedene Wertscheine, die gemäss dem Verfahren nach der Erfindung hergestellt wurden.Figures 1 and 2 two different notes of value, which were produced according to the method according to the invention.

Jeder Wertschein W1, W2 hat eine übliche Seriennummer 6a bzw. 6b, im betrachteten Beispiel die Seriennummer 13467 bzw. 13468, und ist mit einem Folienelement 2 dauerhaft verbunden, das nicht ohne Zerstörung verändert werden kann. Diese Folienelemente 2 sind beispielsweise durch Heissprägen auf die Wertscheine aufgebracht.Each note W1, W2 has a usual serial number 6a or 6b, in the example considered the serial number 13467 or 13468, and is permanently connected to a film element 2 which cannot be changed without being destroyed. These foil elements 2 are, for example, hot stamped onto the notes of value upset.

Vor der Aufbringung auf die Wertscheine werden diese Folienelemente 2 einerseits mit einer von Folienelement zu Folienelement veränderbaren, maschinenlesbaren Bildinformation und andererseits mit einem für alle Folienelemente gleichen, nicht veränderlichen Bildanteil versehen. Im betrachteten Beispiel besteht die variable Bildinformation aus einer Zeichenkombination 3a bzw. 3b sowie aus einer einfachen Figur 4a bzw. 4b für die Wertscheine W1 und W2, und der nicht veränderliche Bildanteil 5 besteht beispielsweise aus einem nur schematisch angedeuteten Hologramm, welches also für alle Wertscheine gleich ist. Im betrachteten Beispiel hat das Folienelement 2 auf dem Wertschein W1 als Zeichenkombination 3a die Zeichenfolge ABC3 und als Figur 4a ein Dreieck, während das Folienelement 2 auf dem Wertschein W2 als Zeichenkombination 3b die Zeichenfolge XYZ5 und als Figur 4b einen Kreis aufweist.Before being applied to the banknotes, these film elements 2 are provided with machine-readable image information that can be changed from film element to film element on the one hand, and with an unchangeable image portion that is the same for all film elements. In the example under consideration, the variable image information consists of a character combination 3a or 3b and a simple figure 4a or 4b for the value notes W1 and W2, and the unchangeable image portion 5 consists, for example, of a hologram which is only indicated schematically, which is for all value notes is equal to. In the example considered, the foil element 2 on the bill W1 has the character string 3a as the character combination 3a and as a figure 4a a triangle, while the foil element 2 on the bill W2 as the character combination 3b has the character string XYZ5 and as figure 4b a circle.

Nachdem die Folienelemente 2 auf die Wertscheine aufgebracht worden sind, passieren diese ein Lesegerät, welches die variable Bildinformation, also die Zeichenkombination 3a bzw. 3b sowie die Figur 4a bzw. 4b, liest. Anschliessend wird diese variable Bildinformation mittels eines vom Lesegerät gesteuerten Druckers ausserhalb des Folienelements 2 auf den betreffenden Wertschein aufgebracht, und zwar wird im betrachteten Beispiel die gelesene Zeichenkombination 3a bzw. 3b im Anschluss an die Seriennummer 6a bzw. 6b als Kopie 7a bzw. 7b aufgebracht, so dass diese Zeichenkombination für den Betrachter einen Bestandteil der Seriennummer bildet. Gleichzeitig wird die auf den Folienelementen 2 gelesene Figur 4a bzw. 4b unterhalb der Seriennummer als Figurenkopie 8a bzw. 8b aufgebracht. Das Aufbringen dieser variablen Bildinformation auf die Wertscheine erfolgt vorzugsweise mit einem Non-Impact-Drucker, insbesondere einem Farbstrahldrucker, wobei diese Reproduktion im gleichen oder, wie für die Kopien 8a, 8b angedeutet, im veränderten Massstab erfolgen kann.After the film elements 2 have been applied to the notes of value, they pass a reading device which reads the variable image information, that is to say the combination of characters 3a and 3b and FIGS. 4a and 4b. This variable image information is then applied to the relevant note outside of the film element 2 by means of a printer controlled by the reader, and in the example considered the character combination 3a or 3b read is applied as a copy 7a or 7b after the serial number 6a or 6b , so that this combination of characters forms part of the serial number for the viewer. At the same time, the figure 4a or 4b read on the film elements 2 is applied below the serial number as a figure copy 8a or 8b. The application of this variable image information to the banknotes is preferably carried out using a non-impact printer, in particular a color jet printer, this reproduction being able to take place on the same scale or, as indicated for the copies 8a, 8b, on a different scale.

Die Erfindung ist nicht auf das beschriebene Ausführungsbeispiel beschränkt, sondern lässt hinsichtlich der variablen Bildinformation, welche eine beliebige Ziffernfolge und/oder Buchstabenfolge und/oder eine variable Figur, zum Beispiel ein variables Interferenzbild, aufweisen kann, sowie der Stelle, wo diese Bildinformation auf dem Wertschein reproduziert wird, manigfache Varianten zu. Auch kann selbstverständlich auf das Vorhandensein einer zusätzlichen Figur als variabler Bildinformation verzichtet werden. Auch lässt sich zur Herstellung der variablen Bildinformation jedes geeignete bekannte Printverfahren verwenden, bei welchem nach jedem einzelnen Druck automatisch eine Aenderung der Bildinformation für den folgenden Druck stattfindet.The invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiment described, but leaves with regard to the variable image information, which can have any number sequence and / or sequence of letters and / or a variable figure, for example a variable interference image, and the location where this image information on the Value note is reproduced, multiple variants too. Of course, the presence of an additional figure as variable image information can also be dispensed with. Any suitable known printing method can also be used to produce the variable image information, in which the image information is automatically changed for the subsequent print after each individual print.
