Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Datenträger, insbesondere ein Wertpapier, eine Banknote, Ausweiskarte, Kreditkarte, Telefonkarte oder ähnliches, mit einer aus mehreren Zeichen bestehenden Seriennummer, die den Datenträger aus einer Serie von Datenträgern individualisiert sowie eine Numeriervorrichtung zum Numerieren der Datenträger.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.
Zur Erhöhung der Sicherheit und zur Identifikation von Dokumenten, wie beispielsweise Banknoten, Schecks, Ausweiskarten, Kreditkarten oder ähnliches, werden fortlaufende Numerierungen aufgebracht, wobei diese sogenannte "Seriennummer" zumeist auf dem bereits fertiggestellten Datenträger aufgedruckt wird. Zum Aufbringen der Seriennummer auf die Datenträger wird beispielsweise ein Numerierwerk verwendet, welches in einer Numerierstation eingebracht ist, die die Dokumente zum Numerieren durchlaufen.To increase security and to identify documents such as for example banknotes, checks, ID cards, credit cards or the like, consecutive numbers are applied, these so-called "Serial number" mostly on the already completed data carrier is printed on. For applying the serial number to the data carrier For example, a numbering device is used, which in a numbering station is introduced, which the documents go through for numbering.
Aus der DE-OS 1 486 894 ist hierzu bereits ein Numerierdruckwerk bekannt, mit dessen Hilfe derartige Dokumente mit einer fortlaufenden Seriennummer versehen werden können. Diese mehrstellige Nummer kann auf dem Dokument mehrfach vorgesehen und waagrecht oder senkrecht aufgebracht werden, wobei die Nummer mit einer Spezialfarbe, beispielsweise mit einer magnetischen Farbe aufgedruckt wird.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.
Zur Erhöhung der Sicherheit bei Wertdokumenten wird weiterhin in der EP
0 061 795 B1 vorgeschlagen, die aufgedruckte Seriennummer mit einer zusätzlichen
Codezahl zu versehen, die sich mit der fortlaufenden Numerierung
ändert und in einer anderen Farbe aufgedruckt wird als die Seriennummer. To increase security in documents of value continues in the
Aus der EP 0160 504 A2 ist zur weiteren Verbesserung der Sicherheit von numerierten Dokumenten vorgeschlagen worden, die Seriennummer so zu gestalten, daß sich wenigstens zwei Zeichen der Seriennummer in ihrer Höhe, Breite, Schriftart oder in einer Kombination dieser Eigenschaften unterscheiden.EP 0160 504 A2 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.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Numeriervorrichtung und mit dieser Numeriervorrichtung numerierte Dokumente vorzuschlagen, wobei die Sicherheit der Dokumente durch die Numerierung mit der Numeriervorrichtung verbessert wird.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.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale der unabhängigen Ansprüche gelöst.This object is solved by the features of the independent claims.
Der Kern der Erfindung beruht auf der Erkenntnis, daß die Sicherheit von Dokumenten erheblich verbessert werden kann, wenn zu deren Numerierung Numerierwerke verwendet werden, deren Ziffern eine spezielle Anordnung relativ zueinander aufweisen, wobei diese Anordnung einer Linie folgt, die eine Krümmung aufweist.The essence of the invention is based on the knowledge that the security of Documents can be improved significantly when numbering them Numbering mechanisms are used, the digits of which have a special arrangement have relative to each other, this arrangement of a line follows, which has a curvature.
Diese spezielle Anordnung der Ziffern relativ zueinander gewährleistet, daß
die Originalnumerierung der Dokumente nur mit den speziell hierzu hergestellten
Numerierwerken vorgenommen werden kann. Ein nachträgliches
paßgenaues Ersetzen einer einzelnen Ziffer der Numerierung ist erheblich
erschwert, da die Linie, entlang der die Zeichen der Seriennummer angeordnet
sind, nicht gerade verläuft. Zur Numerierung der Dokumente wird ein
Numerierwerk verwendet, bei dem die Zeichen der Seriennummer auf den
Gravierblöcken relativ zueinander so versetzt sind, daß sie entlang einer gekrümmten
Linie angeordnet sind. Bei derartigen Numerierwerken kann
der Versatz relativ zu einer Kante des Gravierblockes oder relativ zu einer
Bezugslinie eines Zeichens angegeben werden. Für Seriennummern, die
waagerecht nebeneinander angeordnete Zeichen aufweisen, kann der Versatz
beispielsweise dadurch charakterisiert werden, daß die Zeichen in unterschiedlicher
Höhe relativ zur Unterkante des Gravierblocks graviert sind,
so daß die Grundlinie, an der die Zeichen ausgerichtet werden, gekrümmt
ist. Bei der Gravierung der Zeichen muß darüber hinaus berücksichtigt werden,
daß einige Zeichen nicht unmittelbar auf der Grundlinie stehen, sondern
in einem definierten Abstand zu ihr angeordnet sind, wie beispielsweise
Bindestrich, Gedankenstrich oder die Ziffern 5 und 0 im arabischen
Sprachraum.This special arrangement of the digits relative to each other ensures that
the original numbering of the documents only with the specially produced documents
Numbering works can be made. An afterthought
The exact replacement of a single digit in the numbering is significant
difficult because the line along which the characters of the serial number are arranged
are not straight. A is used to number the documents
Numbering mechanism used, in which the characters of the serial number on the
Engraving blocks are offset relative to each other so that they are curved along a
Line are arranged. With such numbering units
the offset relative to an edge of the engraving block or relative to one
Reference line of a character can be specified. For serial numbers that
have horizontally next to each other characters, the offset can
for example, characterized in that the characters in different
Height is engraved relative to the lower edge of the engraving block,
so that the baseline to which the characters are aligned is curved
is. When engraving the characters, the following must also be taken into account
that some characters are not directly on the baseline, but
are arranged at a defined distance from it, such as
Hyphen, dash or the
Bei aufrecht übereinanderstehenden Zeichen einer Seriennummer kann hingegen ein unterschiedlicher Abstand der Zeichen zu einer seitlichen Kante des Gravierblocks zur Erzeugung der Anordnung entlang einer gekrümmten Linie dienen.With upright characters of a serial number, however, can a different distance between the characters and a side edge of the engraving block for generating the arrangement along a curved Serve line.
Da derartige Numerierwerke jeweils eigens für die Numerierung von Dokumenten hergestellt werden müssen und die Herstellung Spezialwerkzeuge und Spezialkenntnisse erfordert, ist die Sicherheit von mit diesen Numerierwerken numerierten Dokumenten erheblich erhöht.Since such numbering units are each specifically for numbering documents must be manufactured and the manufacture of special tools and requires special knowledge is the security of these numbering machines numbered documents increased significantly.

In Fig. 1 ist schematisch eine Numeriervorrichtung 1 gezeigt, die Ziffernräder
2, 2' aufweist, auf denen jeweils in Umlaufrichtung der Ziffernräder
Gravierblöcke 3 vorhanden sind, auf denen die Zeichen 4 der Seriennummern
graviert sind. Bei den gravierten Zeichen kann es sich um an sich beliebige
Zeichen handeln, wie beispielsweise Zahlen, Buchstaben, Symbole
oder andere zur Individualisierung geeignete Zeichen. Ein in der Figur nicht
dargestellter Schaltmechanismus gewährleistet, daß die Schaltung des Numerierwerks
entsprechend der gewünschten Numerierung vorgenommen
wird. Die Zeichen 4, die bei dem vorliegenden Numerierwerk horizontal
nebeneinander auf den Blöcken 3 aufgebracht sind, sind relativ zueinander
auf den Gravierblöcken 3 so versetzt, daß die Seriennummer einer Bogenform
folgt und dementsprechend auch eine mit dieser Numeriervorrichtung
auf einen Datenträger aufgedruckte Seriennummer bogenförmig verläuft.
Die Anordnung einer Seriennummer entlang einer Linie, die eine bogenförmige
Krümmung aufweist, wird bei der vorliegenden Numeriervorrichtung
dadurch gewährleistet, daß die Zeichen 4 der Seriennummer auf den Gravierblöcken
3 mit einem definierten Abstand zur Unterkante des Gravierblockes
3 angeordnet werden. Dabei ist dieser Abstand für Ziffern gleicher
Höhe auf ein und demselben Ziffernrad konstant. Im vorliegenden Fall wird
dieser Abstand von Ziffernrad zu Ziffernrad definiert verändert, so daß damit
die Anordnung der Ziffern entlang einer gekrümmten Linie entsteht.In Fig. 1, a
Um die Gravierverhältnisse deutlicher erkennen zu können, ist in Fig. 2 ein
schematisierter Ausschnitt aus der Numeriervorrichtung 1 gezeigt, der die
nebeneinander angeordneten Gravierblöcke 3 zeigt, auf denen die Zeichen
als hochstehende Gravurzeichen 4 angeordnet sind. In ihrer Lage auf den
Gravurblöcken unterscheiden sich die Zeichen im vorliegenden Fall durch
einen vertikalen Versatz, so daß die durch die Zeichen gebildete Seriennummer
einer Linie folgt, die gekrümmt ist und im vorliegenden Fall durch
einen Bogen repräsentiert wird. Wie in Fig. 2 zu sehen ist, steigt der Abstand
zwischen dem Fuß des gravierten Zeichens 4 und der Unterkante des Gravierblockes
6, auf welchem das Zeichen graviert ist, für die ersten Zeichen
der Seriennummer an und fällt für die letzten Zeichen der Seriennummer
wieder ab, so daß sich insgesamt eine Anordnung der Seriennummer entlang
einer gekrümmten Linie ergibt. Die Numeriervorrichtung weist dementsprechend
nebeneinander angeordnete Gravierblöcke auf, bei denen wenigstens
ein graviertes Zeichen so angeordnet ist, daß es zu einer geraden
Verbindungslinie vom Fuß des ersten bis zum Fuß des letzten Zeichens versetzt
ist. Zur Charakterisierung des Versatzes kann neben der geraden Verbindungslinie
vom Fuß des ersten zum Fuß des letzten Zeichens auch die
gerade Verbindungslinie vom Kopf des ersten zum Kopf des letzten Zeichens
dienen.In order to be able to recognize the engraving conditions more clearly, a is shown in FIG
Schematic section of the
In Fig. 1 sind die Zeichen der Seriennummer zwar als positiv erkennbare Zeichen dargestellt, jedoch werden bei derartigen Numeriervorrichtungen die Zeichen üblicherweise als hochstehende Reliefs aus den Prägeblöcken herausgearbeitet, wie in Fig. 2 zu sehen ist. Beim Aufdrucken der Seriennummer mit Hilfe dieser Numeriervorrichtung werden dann die Zeichen seitenrichtig auf das Dokument übertragen, wobei erfindungsgemäß die Seriennummer entlang einer Linie angeordnet ist, die eine Krümmung aufweist. In Fig. 1, the characters of the serial number are recognizable as positive Characters are shown, however, with such numbering devices the characters usually as high reliefs from the embossing blocks worked out, as can be seen in Fig. 2. When printing the serial number with the help of this numbering device the characters correctly transferred to the document, whereby according to the invention the serial number is arranged along a line which has a curvature.
In Fig. 3 ist eine weitere Ausführungsform dargestellt, die zeigt, wie die Seriennummer
entlang einer gekrümmten Linie angeordnet werden kann. Dabei
sind die Gravierblöcke 3 weiter schematisiert und die Zeichen 4 der Seriennummer
der besseren Übersichtlichkeit halber positiv dargestellt. Ebenfalls
eingezeichnet ist die normalerweise nicht sichtbare Kurve 5, entlang der die
Seriennummer verläuft. In dieser Ausführungsform steht jedes Zeichen der
Seriennummer senkrecht auf einer Tangente, die an die Kurve 5 am Ort des
jeweiligen Zeichens 4 angelegt wird. Die meisten Zeichen der Seriennummer
sind daher relativ zur Unterkante 6 des Gravierblockes 3 gekippt, wobei der
Fuß jedes Zeichens parallel zur oder auf der Tangente an die Kurve 5 verläuft.
Zusätzlich weisen wenigstens zwei Zeichen 4 zur Unterkante 6 ihres
Gravierblocks unterschiedliche Abstände auf.In Fig. 3 another embodiment is shown, which shows how the serial number
can be arranged along a curved line. there
the engraving blocks 3 are further schematized and the
Eine weitere Ausführungsform einer Numeriervorrichtung, mit denen Dokumente
mit einer Seriennummer versehen werden können, ist in Fig. 4 gezeigt.
In Fig. 4 ist die Seriennummer dabei entlang einer wellenförmig gekrümmten
Linie 5 angeordnet, wobei die einzelnen Zeichen 4 der Seriennummer
wiederum einen unterschiedlichen Abstand zur Unterkante des
Gravierblockes 3 aufweisen.Another embodiment of a numbering device with which documents
can be provided with a serial number is shown in Fig. 4.
In Fig. 4, the serial number is along a
In Fig. 5a und 5b sind zwei weitere Beispiele zur erfindungsgemäßen Seriennummer
gezeigt. Dabei sind die einzelnen Ziffern 4 der Seriennummern auf
den Gravierblöcken so graviert, daß die Ziffern entlang eines Bogens 6, 6'
aufrecht untereinander angeordnet sind. Die Seriennummer ist damit von
oben nach unten lesbar.5a and 5b are two further examples of the serial number according to the invention
shown. The
Die Anordnung der Seriennummer entlang einer gekrümmten Linie läßt sich bei senkrecht übereinanderstehenden wie auch bei waagrecht nebeneinanderstehenden Zeichen auch dadurch charakterisieren, daß wenigstens ein Zeichen der Seriennummer einen Abstand zu einer geraden Verbindungslinie vom ersten zum letzten Zeichen der Seriennummer aufweist. Selbstverständlich müssen für den Beginn und den Endpunkt dieser Linie äquivalente Bezugspunkte eines Zeichens gewählt werden, wobei dann die übrigen Zeichen der Seriennummern so angeordnet sind, daß deren äquivalente Bezugspunkte einen Abstand zu der geraden Verbindungslinie vom ersten zum letzten Zeichen aufweisen und die Zeichen so angeordnet sind, daß sie entlang einer gekrümmten Linie liegen.The serial number can be arranged along a curved line with vertically one above the other as well as with horizontally side by side Characterize characters also in that at least one Sign the serial number a distance to a straight connecting line from the first to the last character of the serial number. Of course must be equivalent for the start and end point of this line Reference points of a character can be selected, with the remaining characters the serial numbers are arranged so that their equivalent reference points a distance from the straight connecting line from the first to the last character and the characters are arranged so that they lie along a curved line.
Als Bezugspunkte eignen sich hierzu beispielsweise, wie in Fig. 6a gezeigt,
einer der äußeren Berührpunkte 10, 10' des Zeichens mit der Fußlinie 12
oder der Berührpunkt 11 des Zeichens mit der Kopflinie 16. Ebenso geeignet
ist auch die Mitte 13 eines Zeichens, die, wie in Fig. 6b gezeigt, als Schnittpunkt
der Linie durch die halbe Gravurbreite 14 mit der Linie durch die halbe
Höhe des Zeichens 15 definiert ist, wobei die halbe Höhe des Zeichens
durch den halben Abstand von der Fußlinie 12 zur Kopflinie 16 des Zeichens
definiert ist.Suitable reference points are, for example, as shown in FIG. 6a,
one of the outer contact points 10, 10 'of the character with the
Die Numeriervorrichtung kann zur Numerierung von Dokumenten, wie beispielsweise
Banknoten, Wertpapieren, Identifikations- oder Kreditkarten,
Pässen oder ähnlichem, verwendet werden und dabei ein- oder mehrfach
und in unterschiedlichen Ausprägungsformen auf das Dokument aufgebracht
werden. In Fig. 7 ist hierzu ein Wertpapier 20 gezeigt, welches zwei
Seriennummern 21 und 22 aufweist, die entlang einer gekrümmten Linie
angeordnet sind, wobei die gekrümmte Linie selbst auf dem Dokument nicht
erkennbar ist. Die Zeichen der beiden Seriennummern sind in diesem Fall
senkrecht untereinander angeordnet.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
become. For this purpose, a
Entsprechend ist für den Fall nebeneinander angeordneter Zeichen in Fig. 8
ein Dokument 20 gezeigt, welches eine Seriennummer 23 aufweist, die wiederum
entlang einer Linie angeordnet ist, die eine Krümmung aufweist. Im
Gegensatz zu der in Fig. 7 dargestellten Variante ist auf diesem Datenträger
die gekrümmte Linie 27 zu sehen. Sofern gewünscht wird, daß diese Linien
auf dem Datenträger sichtbar sind, können sie zusammen mit der Seriennummer
aufgebracht oder in getrennten Druckvorgängen erzeugt werden.
Es ist nicht erforderlich, daß die einzelnen Ziffern einer Seriennummer ein
einheitliches Erscheinungsbild aufweisen.Correspondingly, in the case of characters arranged side by side in FIG. 8
a
Die Auswahl der Zeichen ist nicht auf arabische Ziffern oder alphanumerische Zeichen beschränkt. So können beispielsweise ebenso die in Fig. 9 dargestellten und im arabischen Sprachraum verwendeten Ziffern zur Darstellung der Seriennummer 25 verwendet werden und auch mit anderen Zeichen kombiniert werden. The selection of characters is 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 the representation serial number 25 can be used and also with other characters be combined.
Selbstverständlich ist es bei allen Beispielen möglich, die Seriennummern auf den Datenträgern mit zusätzlichen Sicherheitsmerkmalen, wie Fluoreszenzstoffen, magnetischen oder elektrisch leitfähigen Stoffen zu versehen. Darüber hinaus können auf ein und demselben Dokument unterschiedliche Ausführungsformen der Seriennummer miteinander kombiniert werden, d.h. daß auf ein und demselben Dokument mehrere Seriennummern aufgebracht werden können, von denen wenigstens eine Seriennummer entlang einer Linie aufgebracht wird, die eine Krümmung aufweist. Dabei ist es unerheblich, ob die Ziffern der Seriennummer senkrecht untereinander oder waagrecht nebeneinander aufgebracht werden. Es ist ebenfalls möglich, die Linie, entlang der die Seriennummer aufgebracht wird, visuell sichtbar, unsichtbar oder nur mit Hilfe technischer Mittel, wie z.B. UV-Lampen, sichtbar auf das Dokument aufzubringen.Of course it is possible for all examples to have the serial numbers on the data carriers with additional security features, such as fluorescent substances, magnetic or electrically conductive materials. About that In addition, 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 digits of the serial number vertically one below the other or horizontally be applied side by side. It is also possible to use the line along which the serial number is applied, visually visible, invisible or only with the help of technical means, e.g. UV lamps, visible on the Apply document.
Die Seriennummer kann darüber hinaus auch auf Dokumente ohne die Verwendung von Prägenumerierwerken aufgebracht werden. Dabei eignen sich insbesondere sogenannte Tintenstrahlnumeriervorrichtungen, bei denen die Seriennummer entlang einer Kurve auf das Dokument mit Hilfe eines EDVgesteuerten Tintenstrahldruckers aufgebracht wird.The serial number can also be used on documents without the use applied by 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 Inkjet printer is applied.
