Abstract
Description
Claims (12)
- A method of making a reflective security feature on a substrate intended for a security document, comprising the steps of:spraying metal particles on to the surface of the substrate, whereby to produce an extensive region of sprayed metal on the surface of the substrate; andtreating the the sprayed metal to convert it to a partly specularly reflective surface.
- A method according to claim 1 wherein the spraying is performed by gas, plasma or electric arc spraying.
- A method according to claim 1 or claim 2 wherein the metal is sprayed through a mask interposed between the spray and the substrate.
- A method according to any foregoing claim wherein the region of application of the sprayed metal is varied to produce a stripe of sprayed metal.
- A method according to any foregoing claim wherein the treating step comprises forming a relief pattern by the selective compression of the region of sprayed metal.
- A method according to claim 5 wherein the treating step comprises subjecting the region to compression in the manner of intaglio pressing.
- A method according to any of claims 1 to 4 wherein the treating step comprises burnishing said region.
- A substrate (2) intended for use as a security document, bearing on a surface of the substrate a security feature constituted by a region (9) of sprayed metal rendered at least partly specularly reflective.
- A substrate according to claim 8 wherein the region (9) has at least one feathery or irregularly evanescent edge.
- A substrate according to claim 8 or claim 9 wherein the said region is formed into a relief pattern.
- A security document (10) carrying on the surface of a substrate of the document a security device (9) comprising a region of sprayed metal rendered at least partly specularly reflective.
- A security document according to claim 11 wherein the region is formed into a relief pattern.
