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 mostly on the already completed data carrier is printed on.
  • a numbering device is used, which in a numbering station is introduced, which the documents go through 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 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.
  • 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 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.
  • 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 digits 5 and 0 in Arabic Speaking countries.
  • 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.
  • Switching mechanism shown ensures that the switching of the numbering made according to the desired numbering becomes.
  • the characters 4 that 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 that the serial number of a sheet shape follows and accordingly also one with this numbering device Serial number printed on a data carrier runs in an arc.
  • the arrangement of a serial number along a line that is an arcuate Has curvature is in the present numbering device This ensures that the characters 4 of the serial number on the engraving blocks 3 with a defined distance from the lower edge of the engraving block 3 can be arranged. This distance is the same for digits Height constant on one and the same dial. In the present case This distance from the number wheel to the number wheel changes in a defined manner, so that the arrangement of the digits along a curved line is created.
  • 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.
  • the serial number formed by the characters follows a line which is curved and in the present case through an arc is represented.
  • the distance increases between the base of the engraved letter 4 and the lower edge of the engraving block 6, on which the sign is engraved, for the first signs of the serial number and falls for the last characters of the serial number again, so that there is an overall arrangement of the serial number results in a curved line.
  • the numbering device points accordingly engraving blocks arranged side by side, in which at least an engraved sign is arranged so that it becomes a straight line Connection line offset from the foot of the first to the foot of the last character is.
  • FIG. 3 another 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
  • 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 different distances.
  • FIG. 4 Another embodiment of a numbering device with which documents can be provided with a serial number is shown in Fig. 4.
  • the serial number is along a wavy curve Line 5 arranged, the individual characters 4 of the serial number again a different distance from the lower edge of the Have engraving block 3.
  • 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 are engraved so 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 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.
  • Sign the serial number a distance to a straight connecting line from the first to the last character of the serial number.
  • 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.
  • 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 become.
  • 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 characters of the two serial numbers are in this case arranged vertically one below the other.
  • a document 20 which has a serial number 23, which in turn is arranged along a line which has a curvature.
  • a serial number 23 which in turn is arranged along a line which has a curvature.
  • this disk to see the curved line 27.
  • these lines can be seen on the disk, together with the serial number applied or generated in separate printing processes. It is not necessary to enter the individual digits of a serial number have a uniform appearance.
  • 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 the representation serial number 25 can be used and also with other characters be combined.
  • 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 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.
  • 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 Inkjet printer is applied.
