Definitions

  • the invention relates to a data carrier, in particular a security Banknote, ID card, credit card, phone card or similar, with one Multi-character serial number that makes up the disk a series of data carriers individualized as well as a numbering device for numbering the data carriers.
  • Serial number is usually printed on the already completed data carrier.
  • a numbering device is used to apply the serial number to the data carrier, which is inserted in a numbering station through which the documents pass for numbering.
  • a numbering printing unit is already known from DE-OS 1 486 894 for this purpose, with the help of such documents with a serial number can be provided.
  • This multi-digit number can be found on the Document provided multiple times and applied horizontally or vertically , the number with a special color, for example with a magnetic ink is printed.
  • the printed serial number with an additional Code number to be provided with the consecutive numbering changes and is printed in a different color than the serial number.
  • EP 0 160 504 B1 describes the further improvement of the safety of numbered documents have been suggested to serial number so design that at least two characters of the serial number are in their height, Differentiate width, font, or a combination of these properties.
  • the invention has for its object a numbering device and to propose numbered documents with this numbering device, whereby document security through numbering with the numbering device is improved.
  • the offset are characterized, for example, by the fact that the characters are in different Height are engraved relative to the lower edge of the engraving block, so that the baseline to which the characters are aligned is curved.
  • the following must also be taken into account that some characters are not directly on the baseline, but in a defined distance from it, such as hyphen, Dash or the digits 5 and 0 in the Arabic language area.
  • a numbering device 1 is shown schematically, the number wheels 2, 2 ', on which in each case in the direction of rotation of the number wheels Engraving blocks 3 are present on which the characters 4 of the serial numbers are engraved.
  • the engraved characters can be any Act characters, such as numbers, letters, symbols or other characters suitable for individualization. Not one in the figure Switching mechanism shown ensures that the switching of the numbering made according to the desired numbering becomes.
  • the characters 4, which are horizontal in the present numbering system applied next to each other on the blocks 3 are relative to each other on the engraving blocks 3 so offset that the serial number of an arc shape follows and accordingly also one with this numbering device Serial number printed on a data carrier runs in an arc.
  • FIG Schematic section of the numbering device 1 shown the juxtaposed engraving blocks 3 shows on which the characters are arranged as upright engraving characters 4.
  • the juxtaposed engraving blocks 3 shows on which the characters are arranged as upright engraving characters 4.
  • this offset can be characterized by the fact that the distance between the base of the engraved character 4 and the lower edge the engraving block 6, on which the sign is engraved, at least two of these characters the serial number is different.
  • the numbering device accordingly points side by side arranged engraving blocks, in which at least one engraved character is arranged so that it forms a straight connecting line from the foot the first to the bottom of the last character.
  • For characterization of the offset can be next to the straight connecting line from the foot of the at the foot of the last character also the straight connecting line from Serve head of first to head of last character.
  • Fig. 3 a further embodiment is shown, which shows how the serial number can be arranged along a curved line.
  • the engraving blocks 3 are further schematized and the characters 4 of the serial number For the sake of clarity, shown positively.
  • each character stands for Serial number perpendicular to a tangent line to curve 5 at the location of the character 4 is created.
  • Most characters of the serial number are therefore tilted relative to the lower edge 6 of the engraving block 3, the Foot of each character runs parallel to or on the tangent to curve 5.
  • at least two characters 4 point to the lower edge 6 of theirs Engraving blocks have different distances.
  • FIG. 4a and 4b Two further embodiments of the numbering device according to the invention, with which documents are given a serial number can be shown in Fig. 4a and 4b.
  • 4a is the serial number arranged along a wavy curved line 5, the individual characters 4 of the serial number are different Have a distance to the lower edge of the engraving block 3.
  • Fig. 4b is the Serial number arranged along a curve 5, which is between the digits 4 and 5 has a curvature 7.
  • the curved line 5 in the sense of the invention is therefore to be understood as a line, which at least at one point from a straight connection of deviates from their beginning to their end.
  • 5a and 5b are two further examples of the serial number according to the invention shown.
  • the individual digits 4 of the serial numbers are on the engraving blocks so engraved that the numbers along an arc 6, 6 ' are arranged upright one below the other.
  • the serial number is now from readable from top to bottom.
  • the arrangement of the characters along the curved Line 6, 6 ' is formed on the engraving blocks by the fact that at least two Character of the serial number to the right margin 8 or to the left margin 9 of the Engraving block 3 have a different distance.
  • Suitable reference points are, for example, as shown in FIG. 6a, one of the outer contact points 10, 10 'of the character with the foot line 12 or the point of contact 11 of the character with the head line 16. Also suitable is also the center 13 of a character which, as shown in Fig. 6b, serves as an intersection the line through half the engraving width 14 with the line through half Height of the character 15 is defined, being half the height of the character by half the distance from the foot line 12 to the head line 16 of the character is defined.
  • the numbering device can be used for numbering documents, such as Banknotes, securities, identification or credit cards, Passports or the like can be used and one or more times and applied to the document in different forms will.
  • a security 20 is shown in FIG. 7, which two Serial numbers 21 and 22 have along a curved line are arranged, the curved line itself not on the document is recognizable.
  • the lines of the two serial numbers are in this case arranged vertically one below the other.
  • serial number 24 is arranged in an arc along line 26, however, the individual characters of the serial number have a different Size. With the help of this change in size of the serial number one can apply another additional security feature to the security, which makes unauthorized copying difficult.
  • characters are not based on Arabic numerals or alphanumeric Characters limited. For example, those shown in FIG. 9 can also be used and numerals used in the Arabic-speaking area for representation serial number 25 can be used and also with other characters be combined.
  • Fig. 10 it is shown that it is possible to individualize documents in addition to the mere specification of the serial number by the geometrical arrangement of the characters in the serial number.
  • the characters are assigned fixed positions on the engraving blocks, which are the same for all characters on a particular character.
  • the distance of the foot or the base line of the same characters to an edge 6 of the embossing block can have a fixed, defined value for each of these same characters.
  • this distance increases from the first character A " over the digits 1 " to 4 " to the sixth character 5 "on.
  • the same serial number from the seventh applies to the second part until the eleventh character. So are defined the same for all characters and set fixed positions within the serial number, which also require the individual geometric arrangement of digits for different serial numbers.
  • FIGS. 11 a to d each with cutouts can be seen from a security document 20, on which different Serial numbers (26) are printed with a numbering unit, which has engraving blocks with engraved characters according to FIG. 10. From the comparison of FIGS. 11a to 11d it can clearly be seen that at changing the serial number also the geometric arrangement the serial number is changed, i.e. so that the serial number along a curved curve is arranged that is unique for each serial number is.
  • FIG. 11a The serial number ends in FIG. 11a with the numbers 3 9 1 and in FIG. 11b to the numbers 3 9 0. Since the number 1 on the engraving block is a lower one Distance from the lower edge of the engraving block than the number 0, results for the serial numbers that differ only in the last digit 11a and 11b a clearly recognizable different appearance.
  • FIGS. 11c and 11d there are two more for clarification different serial numbers (26) on a section of a document 20 shown. The same characters have the same spacing the embossing block of the numbering unit to the lower edge of the embossing block, so they line up accordingly when printed on the document lie and / or have the same orientation.
  • serial numbers on the data carriers with additional security features, such as fluorescent substances, magnetic or electrically conductive materials.
  • additional security features such as fluorescent substances, magnetic or electrically conductive materials.
  • different embodiments can be on the same document the serial number can be combined, i.e. that several serial numbers are applied to the same document , at least one serial number along one Line is applied that has a curvature. It is irrelevant whether the serial number is vertically one below the other or horizontally next to one another be applied. It is also possible to follow the line along which the serial number is applied, visually visible, invisible or just using technical means, e.g. UV lamps, visible on the document to apply.
  • the serial number can also be used on documents without the use applied by embossing numbering machines.
  • embossing numbering machines are suitable in particular so-called ink jet numbering devices, in which the Serial number along a curve on the document using a computerized one Inkjet printer is applied.
