Description

FICHE INTERMEDIAIRE, PROCEDE ET DISPOSITIF POUR LA PREPARATION D'UN DOCUMENT PORTANT DES INSCRIPTIONS VARIABLES INTERMEDIATE SHEET, METHOD AND DEVICE FOR THE PREPARATION OF A DOCUMENT WITH VARIABLE INSCRIPTIONS
L'invention concerne une fiche intermédiaire, un procédé et un dispositif pour la réalisation indirecte d'inscriptions variables destinées à être portées par un document, et pour la préparation d'un document portant des inscriptions variables. Un tel document est en particulier un document officiel tel qu'un passeport, une carte d'identité ou autre document d'identification, un permis de conduire, une carte d'immatriculation de véhicule, un diplôme ou autre certificat administratif et/ou d'authentification, une carte bancaire..., ou de façon générale, tout document similaire comprenant : une feuille de base, en général dotée préalablement d'inscriptions communes (matrice identifiant l'emplacement et la nature des inscriptions, renseignements divers, signes et inscriptions empêchant la reproduction et/ou l'authentification...) ; et des inscriptions variables associées à la feuille de base (indication de noms, prénoms, adresses, numéros, dates, photographies..., et/ou tout autre signe, texte ou image propres à l'utilisation finale du document, notamment à son destinataire), et que l'on souhaite protéger des agressions extérieures, et notamment des tentatives de falsification (pour les documents officiels), et/ou d'un environnement extérieur agressif (par exemple de l'humidité). L'invention concerne aussi la préparation d'un tel document, c'est-à-dire la réalisation et l'association des inscriptions variables à ce document.The invention relates to an intermediate file, a method and a device for the indirect production of variable inscriptions intended to be carried by a document, and for the preparation of a document bearing variable inscriptions. Such a document is in particular an official document such as a passport, an identity card or other identification document, a driving license, a vehicle registration card, a diploma or other administrative certificate and / or d 'authentication, a bank card ..., or in general, any similar document including: a basic sheet, generally provided in advance with common inscriptions (matrix identifying the location and nature of the inscriptions, various information, signs and inscriptions preventing reproduction and / or authentication ...); and variable inscriptions associated with the basic sheet (indication of names, first names, addresses, numbers, dates, photographs ..., and / or any other sign, text or image specific to the end use of the document, in particular to its recipient), and which one wishes to protect from external aggressions, and in particular from falsification attempts (for official documents), and / or from an aggressive external environment (for example from humidity). The invention also relates to the preparation of such a document, that is to say the production and association of variable inscriptions to this document.
On connaît déjà des films protecteurs transparents (EP 0 271 941 ou US-5 232 527) transférables sur une feuille de base d'un document pour protéger les inscriptions, communes ou variables, réalisées directement sur cette feuille de base.Transparent protective films are already known (EP 0 271 941 or US-5 232 527) transferable on a base sheet of a document to protect the inscriptions, common or variable, made directly on this base sheet.
Néanmoins, il n'est pas totalement exclu qu'un tel film protecteur puisse être séparé de la feuille de base en vue d'une falsification, même si cela est extrêmement difficile et peu probable. En particulier, une infiltration d'un agent diluant l'adhésif du film n'est pas impossible à travers l'épaisseur de la feuille de base. De même, il ne peut pas être totalement exclu que de l'humidité puisse s'infiltrer entre le film et la feuille de base, notamment lorsque cette feuille de base est elle-même poreuse, par exemple en papier. Pour améliorer la sécurité de ces documents vis-à-vis de la falsification, on a déjà pensé à imprimer les inscriptions variables (y compris les photographies) non pas directement sur la feuille de base, mais de façon indirecte, sur la couche de colle à haute température du film protecteur transparent (EP-0 737 595). Dans ce cas, les inscriptions variables doivent être imprimées en vitrophanie (inversées, telles que vues dans un miroir), ce qui nécessite l'usage d'un dispositif xérographique ou d'impression programmable spécifique, et en général, d'un système informatique associé, et exclut la réalisation des inscriptions variables de façon manuelle ou à la machine à écrire, ou à l'aide d'une imprimante matricielle.However, it is not entirely excluded that such a protective film could be separated from the base sheet for falsification, even if this is extremely difficult and unlikely. In particular, an infiltration of a film diluting agent is not impossible through the thickness of the base sheet. Likewise, it cannot be entirely excluded that moisture may infiltrate between the film and the base sheet, in particular when this base sheet is itself porous, for example made of paper. To improve the security of these documents against forgery, we have already thought of printing variable inscriptions (including photographs) not directly on the base sheet, but indirectly, on the layer of glue at high temperature of the transparent protective film (EP-0 737 595). In this case, the variable inscriptions must be printed in window stickers (reversed, as seen in a mirror), which requires the use of a specific xerographic or programmable printing device, and in general, a computer system. associated, and excludes the realization of variable inscriptions manually or with the typewriter, or using a dot matrix printer.
US-4 006 050 décrit également un procédé dans lequel les inscriptions variables sont réalisées en vitrophanie sur une feuille transfert intermédiaire, ou sur une couche de laque de cette feuille de transfert. La feuille de transfert est ensuite appliquée à chaud et sous pression sur une base plastique.US Pat. No. 4,006,050 also describes a process in which the variable inscriptions are carried out in window stickers on an intermediate transfer sheet, or on a layer of lacquer of this transfer sheet. The transfer sheet is then applied hot and under pressure to a plastic base.
WO-9632256 décrit un procédé dans lequel on imprime une image sur une feuille siliconée intermédiaire à l'aide d'une imprimante laser, puis on fixe partiellement et temporairement à chaud l'image formée, puis on transfère l'image sur un film transparent lui-même ensuite appliqué sur la feuille de base du document.WO-9632256 describes a process in which an image is printed on an intermediate silicone sheet using a laser printer, then the formed image is partially and temporarily fixed hot, then the image is transferred to a transparent film itself then applied to the document base sheet.
En outre, dans tous les cas, les inscriptions variables se trouvent finalement appliquées directement à la surface de la feuille de base du document, et même si elles sont revêtues d'un adhésif (EP-0 737 595) ou d'une laque protectrice (US-4 006 050), toute falsification et/ou détérioration, notamment par infiltration à travers la feuille de base du document, ne peut être exclue.In addition, in all cases, the variable inscriptions are finally applied directly to the surface of the document base sheet, and even if they are coated with an adhesive (EP-0 737 595) or a protective lacquer. (US-4,006,050), any falsification and / or deterioration, in particular by infiltration through the basic sheet of the document, cannot be excluded.
Or, il existe encore de nombreux cas où les inscriptions variables ne sont pas et ne peuvent pas être réalisées par impression laser ou reproduction xérographique, par l'intermédiaire d'un système informatique. Ainsi, pour de nombreuses administrations locales, l'acquisition de dispositifs spécifiques coûteux pour l'émission des documents officiels, ne se justifie pas économiquement. Pour autant, il est souhaitable d'uniformiser le niveau de sécurité de tous les documents officiels de même nature. En particulier, tous les passeports, cartes d'identité, permis de conduire... d'un même Etat doivent présenter les mêmes caractéristiques et les mêmes protections.However, there are still many cases where variable inscriptions are not and cannot be made by laser printing or xerographic reproduction, via a computer system. Thus, for many local administrations, the acquisition of costly specific devices for issuing official documents is not economically justified. However, it is desirable to standardize the level of security of all official documents of the same kind. In particular, all passports, identity cards, driving licenses, etc. from the same state must have the same characteristics and the same protections.
L'invention vise donc à proposer une solution à ces problèmes. L'invention vise ainsi à permettre la réalisation indirecte (c'est-à-dire sur un support distinct du document lui-même) d'inscriptions variables selon tout mode de réalisation, y compris par écriture manuelle, par écriture à la machine à écrire, par impression avec une imprimante matricielle, par impression avec une imprimante laser couleur ou même noir et blanc, ou avec une imprimante à transfert d'encre à sec, ou avec une imprimante à jet d'encre, ou par collage d'image ou de photographie.... L'invention vise aussi à permettre la préparation d'un document comprenant une feuille de base, des inscriptions variables associées à la feuille de base, et un film protecteur transparent collé sur la feuille de base pour protéger au moins les inscriptions variables sans qu'il soit nécessaire de réaliser les inscriptions variables en vitrophanie (à l'envers), ou par écriture, impression ou collage directement au contact de la feuille de base du document.The invention therefore aims to propose a solution to these problems. The invention thus aims to allow the indirect realization (that is to say on a support separate from the document itself) of variable inscriptions according to any embodiment, including by manual writing, by writing to the writing, by printing with a dot matrix printer, by printing with a color or even black and white laser printer, or with a dry ink transfer printer, or with an inkjet printer, or by image collage or photography .... The invention also aims to allow the preparation of a document comprising a base sheet, variable inscriptions associated with the base sheet, and a transparent protective film bonded to the base sheet to protect the minus the variable inscriptions without the need to make the variable inscriptions in window stickers (upside down), or by writing, printing or collage directly in contact with the document's base sheet.
L'invention vise, en outre, à améliorer la sécurité obtenue en améliorant la protection des inscriptions variables vis-à-vis des agressions extérieures telles que les tentatives de falsification et/ou les environnements extérieurs agressifs. L'invention vise en particulier à permettre l'interposition d'une pellicule protectrice comprenant une ou plusieurs couches, notamment au moins une couche d'adhésif, entre la feuille de base du document et les inscriptions variables.The invention further aims to improve the security obtained by improving the protection of variable inscriptions vis-à-vis external aggressions such as attempts at falsification and / or aggressive external environments. The invention aims in particular to allow the interposition of a protective film comprising one or more layers, in particular at least one layer of adhesive, between the base sheet of the document and the variable inscriptions.
L'invention vise aussi en particulier à permettre l'insertion des inscriptions variables au sein d'une ou plusieurs couches d'adhésif et/ou de vernis réalisées par impression.The invention also aims in particular to allow the insertion of variable inscriptions within one or more layers of adhesive and / or varnish made by printing.
L'invention vise, en outre, à permettre d'atteindre ces buts de façon simple et économique.The invention further aims to allow these goals to be achieved in a simple and economical manner.
L'invention vise plus particulièrement à permettre la réalisation indirecte des inscriptions variables de documents officiels, par les administrations locales ou toute autre organisation devant délivrer des documents officiels, sans imposer l'utilisation d'équipements d'impression, de reproduction ou informatiques spécifiques dont ces administrations ou organisations ne sont pas toujours équipées.The invention aims more particularly to allow the indirect realization of variable inscriptions of official documents, by local administrations or any other organization having to issue official documents, without imposing the use of specific printing, reproduction or computer equipment including these administrations or organizations are not always equipped.
L'invention vise ainsi, en particulier, à proposer un dispositif prêt à l'emploi et autonome pour la mise en œuvre d'un procédé de préparation d'un document comprenant des inscriptions variables réalisées indirectement.The invention thus aims, in particular, to propose a ready-to-use and autonomous device for the implementation of a process for preparing a document comprising variable inscriptions produced indirectly.
L'invention vise aussi en particulier à proposer une fiche formulaire intermédiaire permettant la réalisation indirecte d'inscriptions variables, et notamment servant de support d'écriture, d'impression ou de collage recevant ces inscriptions variables.The invention also aims in particular to propose an intermediate form sheet allowing the indirect production of variable inscriptions, and in particular serving as writing, printing or collage support receiving these variable inscriptions.

. on transfère la pellicule portant les inscriptions variables sur une face d'un film protecteur transparent destinée à être appliquée sur le document, . on applique et on colle à chaud le film protecteur transparent sur le document avec la première couche d'adhésif de la pellicule orientée du côté de la feuille de base du document.. the film bearing the variable inscriptions is transferred onto one side of a transparent protective film intended to be applied to the document,. the transparent protective film is applied and hot glued to the document with the first layer of film adhesive oriented on the side of the document base sheet.
L'invention concerne, en outre, un procédé de préparation d'un document caractérisé en ce qu'on utilise une fiche intermédiaire selon l'invention.The invention further relates to a method for preparing a document characterized in that an intermediate sheet according to the invention is used.
L'invention s'étend en outre à un dispositif pour la mise en œuvre d'un procédé selon l'invention. L'invention concerne ainsi un dispositif pour la préparation d'un document, ce document comprenant au moins une feuille de base, des inscriptions variables associées à la feuille de base, et un film protecteur transparent collé sur la feuille de base pour protéger au moins les inscriptions variables, le dispositif étant caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend :The invention further extends to a device for implementing a method according to the invention. The invention thus relates to a device for the preparation of a document, this document comprising at least one base sheet, variable inscriptions associated with the base sheet, and a transparent protective film bonded to the base sheet to protect at least variable inscriptions, the device being characterized in that it comprises:
- un document vierge exempt d'inscriptions variables, - au moins une fiche intermédiaire selon l'invention,- a blank document free of variable inscriptions, - at least one intermediate file according to the invention,

Avantageusement et selon l'invention, la pellicule est formée d'au moins une couche imprimée obtenue par impression sérigraphique. Rien n'empêche d'utiliser une fiche intermédiaire dont la pellicule est réalisée par d'autres procédés d'impression. Une pellicule obtenue par impression sérigraphique présente néanmoins des caractéristiques d'épaisseur et de tenues mécaniques particulièrement avantageuses pour l'écriture des inscriptions variables sur la face libre, le transfert subséquent sur le film protecteur puis sur le document à protéger, et la protection ultérieure du document contre les tentatives de falsifications. Une pellicule obtenue par impression sérigraphique peut avoir une épaisseur comprise entre 5μm et 40μm -notamment de l'ordre de 15μm-.Advantageously and according to the invention, the film is formed of at least one printed layer obtained by screen printing. Nothing prevents the use of an intermediate sheet, the film of which is produced by other printing processes. A film obtained by screen printing nevertheless has characteristics of thickness and mechanical strength which are particularly advantageous for writing variable inscriptions on the free face, the subsequent transfer to the protective film and then to the document to be protected, and the subsequent protection of the document against attempted forgery. A film obtained by screen printing can have a thickness of between 5 μm and 40 μm - in particular of the order of 15 μm -.
Avantageusement et selon l'invention, la face du fond et la pellicule sont adaptées pour que la pellicule puisse être transférée par application sous pression à sec sur une face d'un film protecteur transparent destiné à être appliqué sur le document.Advantageously and according to the invention, the bottom face and the film are adapted so that the film can be transferred by application under dry pressure on one face of a transparent protective film intended to be applied to the document.
Avantageusement et selon l'invention, la face du fond et ladite première couche d'adhésif de la pellicule en contact avec cette face du fond sont adaptées pour présenter une force d'adhérence relative mesurée selon la méthode de test FINAT n° 4 (FTM4) comprise entre 75 mN/25mm et 1000 mN/25mm.Advantageously and according to the invention, the face of the bottom and said first layer of adhesive of the film in contact with this face of the bottom are adapted to have a relative adhesion force measured according to the FINAT test method No. 4 (FTM4 ) between 75 mN / 25mm and 1000 mN / 25mm.
Plusieurs variantes de réalisation de la pellicule peuvent être envisagées. Ainsi, la pellicule peut être formée d'une seule couche imprimée, constituant ladite première couche d'adhésif apte à recevoir les inscriptions variables. Néanmoins, de préférence et selon l'invention, la pellicule est formée d'une pluralité de couches imprimées superposées successivement les unes sur les autres, à savoir ladite première couche d'adhésif présentant une adhérence telle que mentionnée ci-dessus sur le fond (pour permettre le transfert ultérieur sur le film protecteur), et une ou plusieurs autres couche(s) imprimée(s), la dernière couche imprimée de la pellicule présentant ladite face libre destinée à recevoir les inscriptions variables et étant adaptée à cette fin. Il est à noter en particulier, que la dernière couche présentant cette face libre n'est pas formée d'un adhésif présentant un tack dans les conditions dans lesquelles les inscriptions variables doivent pouvoir être réalisées. Plus généralement, la pellicule est adaptée pour : (a) pouvoir recevoir les inscriptions variables sur sa face libre, pouvant être réalisées selon divers modes d'écriture et/ou d'impression prédéterminés ; (b) pouvoir être transférée ultérieurement, avec les inscriptions variables, sur un film protecteur ; et (c) pouvoir être appliquée ultérieurement sur un document à protéger, les inscriptions variables étant intercalées entre une couche de la pellicule et une couche du film protecteur.Several alternative embodiments of the film can be envisaged. Thus, the film can be formed from a single printed layer, constituting said first layer of adhesive capable of receiving variable inscriptions. Nevertheless, preferably and according to the invention, the film is formed a plurality of printed layers superposed successively on each other, namely said first layer of adhesive having an adhesion as mentioned above on the bottom (to allow subsequent transfer to the protective film), and one or several other printed layer (s), the last printed layer of the film having said free face intended to receive variable inscriptions and being adapted for this purpose. It should be noted in particular that the last layer having this free face is not formed of an adhesive having a tack under the conditions under which the variable inscriptions must be able to be produced. More generally, the film is suitable for: (a) being able to receive variable inscriptions on its free face, which can be produced according to various predetermined writing and / or printing modes; (b) be able to be transferred later, with variable inscriptions, on a protective film; and (c) be able to be applied subsequently to a document to be protected, the variable inscriptions being inserted between a layer of the film and a layer of the protective film.
Avantageusement et selon l'invention, ladite première couche d'adhésif de la pellicule qui est en contact avec une face du fond est une couche d'adhésif sans tack à température ambiante adaptée pour ne pas adhérer ni être détériorée lors du transfert de la pellicule sur le film protecteur transparent. En particulier, la première couche d'adhésif doit permettre l'impression d'une couche subséquente (si la pellicule est multicouche) ou la réalisation des inscriptions variables (si la pellicule est formée uniquement de cette couche). Cette première couche formée d'adhésif permet elle-même ultérieurement le collage du film protecteur portant la pellicule, sur le document à protéger. Ainsi, le dispositif de préparation de document selon l'invention peut être constitué uniquement, outre le document vierge, d'une fiche intermédiaire et d'un film protecteur pour chaque face du document à protéger.Advantageously and according to the invention, said first layer of adhesive of the film which is in contact with a face of the bottom is a layer of adhesive without tack at room temperature suitable for not adhering or being damaged during the transfer of the film. on the transparent protective film. In particular, the first layer of adhesive must allow the printing of a subsequent layer (if the film is multilayer) or the production of variable inscriptions (if the film is formed only of this layer). This first layer formed of adhesive itself allows subsequent bonding of the protective film carrying the film, on the document to be protected. Thus, the document preparation device according to the invention can consist only of, in addition to the blank document, an intermediate sheet and a protective film for each side of the document to be protected.
Avantageusement et selon l'invention, ladite première couche d'adhésif est une couche d'adhésif thermoréactivable. Avantageusement et selon l'invention, cette première couche d'adhésif thermoréactivable présente une température de fusion supérieure à 90° C et inférieure ou égale à 110° C, de façon à pouvoir être activée pour le collage sur le document à une température suffisamment basse pour éviter toute détérioration des inscriptions variables et/ou du film protecteur et/ou du document lui-même. Avantageusement et selon l'invention, la première couche d'adhésif thermoréactivable est formée d'un adhésif à base de copolymère polyuréthane acrylique en dispersion aqueuse appliqué par sérigraphie à froid.Advantageously and according to the invention, said first layer of adhesive is a layer of heat-activated adhesive. Advantageously and according to the invention, this first layer of heat-activated adhesive has a melting temperature greater than 90 ° C and less than or equal to 110 ° C, so that it can be activated for bonding to the document at a temperature low enough to avoid any deterioration of the variable inscriptions and / or of the protective film and / or of the document itself. Advantageously and according to the invention, the first layer of heat-activated adhesive is formed from an adhesive based on acrylic polyurethane copolymer in aqueous dispersion applied by cold screen printing.
Avantageusement et selon l'invention, la pellicule comprend au moins une deuxième couche, imprimée, superposée sur ladite première couche d'adhésif, cette deuxième couche étant formée d'un matériau adapté pour résister à une température supérieure à 110° C. Dans une variante de réalisation, avantageusement et selon l'invention, la deuxième couche présente la face libre adaptée pour recevoir les inscriptions variables et est formée d'un adhésif sans tack thermoréactivable dont la température de fusion est supérieure à 110° C, notamment de l'ordre de 130° C. Dans cette variante, la deuxième couche sert aussi d'adhésif pour le collage de la pellicule sur le film protecteur transparent, lors du transfert de la pellicule sur ce film, qui est alors un transfert par pression à sec à chaud.Advantageously and according to the invention, the film comprises at least a second layer, printed, superimposed on said first layer of adhesive, this second layer being formed of a material adapted to withstand a temperature above 110 ° C. In a variant, advantageously and according to the invention, the second layer has the free face adapted to receive variable inscriptions and is formed of an adhesive without heat-reactive tack whose melting temperature is greater than 110 ° C., in particular order of 130 ° C. In this variant, the second layer also serves as an adhesive for bonding the film to the transparent protective film, during the transfer of the film onto this film, which is then a transfer by dry pressure to hot.
Dans une autre variante, la deuxième couche qui présente la face libre adaptée pour recevoir les inscriptions variables, est formée d'un vernis non adhésif. Dans cette variante, on utilise une couche d'adhésif solidaire du film protecteur, ou un adhésif double face, pour le transfert de la pellicule sur le film protecteur.In another variant, the second layer which has the free face adapted to receive variable inscriptions, is formed of a non-adhesive varnish. In this variant, an adhesive layer secured to the protective film, or a double-sided adhesive, is used for the transfer of the film onto the protective film.
Ainsi, avantageusement et selon l'invention, on utilise un film protecteur transparent comprenant une couche d'adhésif, et on transfère la pellicule de la fiche intermédiaire portant les inscriptions variables sur une face de la couche d'adhésif du film protecteur transparent, de sorte que les inscriptions variables se trouvent emprisonnées entre ladite deuxième couche de la pellicule présentant la face libre et la couche d'adhésif du film, avant que l'ensemble ne soit appliqué sur la feuille de base du document.Thus, advantageously and according to the invention, a transparent protective film is used comprising an adhesive layer, and the film is transferred from the intermediate sheet bearing the variable inscriptions on one face of the adhesive layer of the transparent protective film, so that the variable inscriptions are trapped between said second layer of the film having the free face and the adhesive layer of the film, before the assembly is applied to the document base sheet.
Le transfert de la pellicule sur le film protecteur peut être un transfert par pression à sec à froid si l'adhésif de la couche d'adhésif du film protecteur transparent est un autoadhésif. Le transfert de la pellicule sur le film protecteur peut aussi être un transfert par pression à sec à chaud lorsque l'adhésif de la couche d'adhésif du film protecteur transparent est un adhésif thermoréactivable ou un autoadhésif et/ou lorsque ladite deuxième couche est une couche d'adhésif thermoréactivable. Néanmoins le transfert à chaud ne peut pas être utilisé lorsque la chaleur modifie l'adhérence de la pellicule sur le fond, ou lorsque la chaleur nuit à une propriété de la pellicule et/ou des inscriptions variables et/ou du film (par exemple si on utilise une première couche d'adhésif de la pellicule qui est de type thermodurcissable). Par ailleurs, si la première couche d'adhésif de la pellicule est une couche d'adhésif thermoréactivable et si l'on transfère la pellicule sur le film par transfert à chaud, dans un premier temps, cette première couche d'adhésif de la pellicule adhère, sous l'effet de la chaleur, sur le fond de la fiche. Mais après refroidissement, la première couche d'adhésif thermoréactivable perd à nouveau sa propriété d'adhérence, d'autant que la face du fond sur laquelle elle est appliquée est elle-même de nature sensiblement anti-adhérente, par exemple un vernis ou une composition chargée de matière anti- adhérente (couche siliconée). Le fond de la fiche est néanmoins aussi adapté pour permettre l'application de la première couche d'adhésif de la pellicule sur ce fond par un procédé d'impression notamment par impression sérigraphique.The transfer of the film onto the protective film can be a transfer by cold dry pressure if the adhesive of the adhesive layer of the transparent protective film is a self-adhesive. The transfer of the film to the protective film can also be a transfer by hot dry pressure when the adhesive of the adhesive layer of the transparent protective film is a heat-activated adhesive or a self-adhesive and / or when said second layer is a layer of heat-activated adhesive. However, hot transfer cannot be used when the heat modifies the adhesion of the film to the bottom, or when the heat harms a property of the film and / or of the variable inscriptions and / or of the film (for example if a first layer of adhesive is used on the film which is of the thermosetting type). Furthermore, if the first layer of adhesive in the film is a layer of heat-activated adhesive and if the film is transferred to the film by hot transfer, firstly this first layer of adhesive in the film adheres, under the effect of heat, to the bottom of the plug. But after cooling, the first layer of heat-activated adhesive again loses its adhesion property, all the more so since the face of the base on which it is applied is itself of a substantially non-stick nature, for example a varnish or a composition loaded with non-stick material (silicone layer). The bottom of the sheet is nevertheless also suitable for allowing the application of the first layer of adhesive from the film on this bottom by a printing process, in particular by screen printing.
Avantageusement et selon l'invention, le fond comprend un support, et une couche de vernis formant ladite face du fond recevant la première couche d'adhésif de la pellicule.Advantageously and according to the invention, the base comprises a support, and a layer of varnish forming said face of the base receiving the first layer of adhesive from the film.
Par ailleurs, avantageusement et selon l'invention, le fond présente des inscriptions communes, et la pellicule est translucide ou transparente, de sorte que ces inscriptions communes sont visibles et facilitent le repérage pour la réalisation des inscriptions variables. Avantageusement et selon l'invention, les inscriptions communes sont imprimées sur une face du fond opposée à celle recevant la première couche d'adhésif de la pellicule, et le fond est translucide ou transparent. Avantageusement et selon l'invention, le fond de la fiche intermédiaire présente des inscriptions communes qui correspondent à des inscriptions communes imprimées au préalable sur la feuille de base du document.Furthermore, advantageously and according to the invention, the bottom has common inscriptions, and the film is translucent or transparent, so that these common inscriptions are visible and facilitate the location for the realization of variable inscriptions. Advantageously and according to the invention, the common inscriptions are printed on a face of the bottom opposite to that receiving the first layer of adhesive from the film, and the bottom is translucent or transparent. Advantageously and according to the invention, the bottom of the intermediate file has common inscriptions which correspond to common inscriptions previously printed on the document base sheet.
La pellicule est associée au fond avec des valeurs d'adhérence suffisamment faibles pour autoriser son transfert -notamment par pression à sec, à froid ou à chaud- sur le film protecteur, mais suffisamment importantes pour autoriser d'une part sa réalisation -notamment par sérigraphie-, et d'autre part la réalisation des inscriptions variables. En particulier, ladite première couche d'adhésif de la pellicule adhère sur le fond plus fortement qu'elle n'adhérerait sur un papier siliconé anti-adhérent traditionnel (la force d'adhérence mesurée selon la norme FINAT n° 4 (FTM4) étant alors inférieure à 45mN/25mm). En outre, cette pellicule constituée d'une ou plusieurs couche(s) imprimée(s) d'adhésif et/ou de vernis présente une faible cohésion mécanique assurant la protection des inscriptions variables contre toute tentative d'arrachage, tout en les isolant du document.The film is associated with the bottom with adhesion values sufficiently low to allow its transfer - in particular by dry, cold or hot pressure - on the protective film, but sufficiently large to allow on the one hand its realization - in particular by screen printing, and on the other hand the realization of variable inscriptions. In particular, said first adhesive layer of the film adheres to the bottom more strongly than it would adhere to a traditional non-stick silicone paper (the adhesion strength measured according to FINAT standard No. 4 (FTM4) being then less than 45mN / 25mm). In addition, this film consisting of one or more printed layer (s) of adhesive and / or varnish has low mechanical cohesion ensuring the protection of variable inscriptions against any attempt to tear off, while isolating them from document.
La fiche intermédiaire selon l'invention peut être incorporée au sein du document, lorsque celui-ci se présente sous la forme d'un livret, reliée ou non avec les autres pages de ce document. En variante, la fiche intermédiaire peut être séparée du document lui-même. Il en va de même en ce qui concerne le film protecteur transparent.The intermediate sheet according to the invention can be incorporated within the document, when the latter is in the form of a booklet, whether or not linked with the other pages of this document. As a variant, the intermediate file can be separated from the document itself. The same applies to the transparent protective film.
Ainsi, grâce à l'invention, les inscriptions variables destinées à être portées par le document peuvent être réalisées dans leur sens normal de lecture sur la pellicule de la fiche intermédiaire par tout procédé approprié, y compris manuellement par écriture au stylographe, par écriture à la machine à écrire, ou par impression à l'aide d'une imprimante matricielle, ou à l'aide d'une imprimante laser, même noir et blanc ou à l'aide d'une imprimante à transfert d'encre à sec (dite "microdry" ou à l'aide d'une imprimante à jet d'encre (si la face de la pellicule est suffisamment absorbante). Il est également possible de coller une photographie ou toute autre image sur la pellicule de la fiche, et ce, de la même façon que si on collait cette photographie ou image sur la feuille de base du document directement.Thus, thanks to the invention, the variable inscriptions intended to be carried by the document can be produced in their normal direction of reading on the film of the intermediate sheet by any suitable method, including manually by writing with a stylographer, by writing to the typewriter, or by printing using a dot-matrix printer, or by using a laser printer, even black and white or by using a dry ink transfer printer ( called "microdry" or using an inkjet printer (if the surface of the film is sufficiently absorbent). It is also possible to paste a photograph or any other image on the film sheet, and this, in the same way as if we pasted this photograph or image on the document base sheet directly.
Les inscriptions variables peuvent être formées sur la pellicule selon tout mode d'écriture, d'impression ou d'application (collage, transfert...) compatible avec la face libre de la pellicule, et ce mode peut être l'un des modes utilisés jusqu'à maintenant pour réaliser directement de telles inscriptions variables sur les documents.Variable inscriptions can be formed on the film according to any writing, printing or application mode (bonding, transfer, etc.) compatible with the free face of the film, and this mode can be one of the modes. used until now to directly carry out such variable inscriptions on the documents.
L'invention concerne également une fiche intermédiaire, un procédé et un dispositif de préparation de documents, et un document, caractérisés en ce qu'ils comprennent, en combinaison, tout ou partie des caractéristiques mentionnées ci-dessus ou ci-après.The invention also relates to an intermediate file, a method and a device for preparing documents, and a document, characterized in that they comprise, in combination, all or part of the characteristics mentioned above or below.

- un fond 2, - une pellicule 3, de préférence transparente, formée d'une ou plusieurs couche(s) imprimée(s) d'adhésif et/ou de vernis, présentant une face libre 5 adaptée pour pouvoir recevoir des inscriptions variables 8. Cette pellicule 3 comprend une première couche d'adhésif 3a appliquée sur au moins une partie d'une face 4 du fond 2 de façon à la couvrir, la face 4 du fond 2 et ladite première couche d'adhésif 3a étant adaptées pour présenter une force d'adhérence relative telle que cette pellicule 3 peut être transférée, avec les inscriptions variables 8, sur une face 9 d'un film protecteur transparent 11 destiné à être appliqué sur le document, les inscriptions variables 8 pouvant être réalisées selon leur orientation de lecture sur la face libre 5 de la pellicule 3.- a base 2, - a film 3, preferably transparent, formed of one or more printed layer (s) of adhesive and / or varnish, having a free face 5 adapted to be able to receive variable inscriptions 8 This film 3 comprises a first layer of adhesive 3a applied to at least part of a face 4 of the bottom 2 so as to cover it, the face 4 of the bottom 2 and said first layer. of adhesive 3a being adapted to have a relative adhesion force such that this film 3 can be transferred, with variable inscriptions 8, to one face 9 of a transparent protective film 11 intended to be applied to the document, the inscriptions variables 8 which can be produced according to their reading orientation on the free face 5 of the film 3.
Avantageusement et selon l'invention, la pellicule 3 est formée d'au moins une couche imprimée obtenue par impression sérigraphique. La (les) couche(s) imprimée(s) 3a, 3b formant la pellicule sont, avantageusement et selon l'invention, réalisées par impressions successives directement sur le fond 2. Avantageusement et selon l'invention, la face 4 du fond 2 et la pellicule 3 sont adaptées pour que la pellicule 3 puisse être transférée par application sous pression à sec sur une face 9 d'un film protecteur transparent 1 1 destiné à être appliqué sur le document.Advantageously and according to the invention, the film 3 is formed of at least one printed layer obtained by screen printing. The printed layer (s) 3a, 3b forming the film are advantageously and according to the invention, produced by successive prints directly on the bottom 2. Advantageously and according to the invention, the face 4 of the bottom 2 and the film 3 are adapted so that the film 3 can be transferred by application under dry pressure on one side 9 of a transparent protective film 1 1 intended to be applied to the document.
Avantageusement et selon l'invention, la face 4 du fond 2 et ladite première couche d'adhésif 3a de la pellicule 3 en contact avec cette face 4 du fond 2 sont adaptées pour présenter une force d'adhérence relative mesurée selon la méthode de test FINAT n° 4 (FTM4) comprise entre 75 mN/25mm et 1000 mN/25mm.Advantageously and according to the invention, the face 4 of the bottom 2 and said first layer of adhesive 3a of the film 3 in contact with this face 4 of the bottom 2 are adapted to have a relative adhesion force measured according to the test method. FINAT n ° 4 (FTM4) between 75 mN / 25mm and 1000 mN / 25mm.
Avantageusement et selon l'invention, ladite première couche d'adhésif 3a de la pellicule 3 qui est en contact avec une face 4 du fond 2 est une couche d'adhésif 3a sans tack à température ambiante adaptée pour ne pas adhérer ni être détériorée lors du transfert de la pellicule 3 sur le film protecteur transparent 1 1. De préférence, avantageusement et selon l'invention, ladite première couche d'adhésif 3a est une couche d'adhésif thermoréactivable. Les inscriptions variables 8 peuvent être réalisées, selon leur orientation de lecture, sur la face libre 5 de la pellicule 3, par tout moyen approprié, y compris une écriture manuelle ou à la machine à écrire, une impression par une imprimante matricielle, ou une imprimante laser, couleur ou noir et blanc, ou une imprimante par transfert d'encre à sec, ou une imprimante à jet d'encre, ou par collage d'image ou de photographie.... Une feuille de protection (non représentée) peut recouvrir la face libre 5 de la pellicule 3 pour la protéger avant utilisation et réalisation des inscriptions variables 8.Advantageously and according to the invention, said first layer of adhesive 3a of the film 3 which is in contact with a face 4 of the bottom 2 is a layer of adhesive 3a without tack at room temperature suitable for not adhering or being damaged during transferring the film 3 onto the transparent protective film 1 1. Preferably, advantageously and according to the invention, said first layer of adhesive 3a is a layer of heat-activated adhesive. The variable inscriptions 8 can be produced, according to their reading orientation, on the free face 5 of the film 3, by any appropriate means, including manual writing or typewriter printing, printing by a dot matrix printer, or a color, black and white or laser printer, or a dry ink transfer printer, or an inkjet printer, or collage of image or photograph .... A protective sheet (not shown) can cover the free face 5 of the film 3 to protect it before use and making variable inscriptions 8.
Le fond 2 peut être plus ou moins souple et est en forme générale de feuille mince.The bottom 2 can be more or less flexible and is generally in the form of a thin sheet.
Le fond 2 comprend un support 2a et une couche de vernis 2b formant ladite face 4 du fond recevant la première couche d'adhésif thermoréactivable 3 a de la pellicule 3.The bottom 2 comprises a support 2a and a layer of varnish 2b forming said face 4 of the bottom receiving the first layer of heat-activated adhesive 3a of the film 3.
Le support 2a peut être un papier et/ou un film synthétique monocouche ou multicouche apte à résister à une température d'au moins 150° C. La couche de vernis 2b peut être formée d'une impression par sérigraphie d'un vernis acrylique à polymérisation aux ultraviolets, par exemple le vernis réf. UV BOND 391 commercialisé par la Société SERICOL (France). Ce vernis est choisi de façon à être compatible avec le support 2a, et pour présenter à froid (c'est-à-dire à température ambiante) la force d'adhérence (entre 75mN/25mm et 1000mN/25mm) désirée avec ladite première couche d'adhésif 3a de la pellicule 3. En outre, la couche de vernis 2b du fond 2 et la première couche d'adhésif 3a de la pellicule 3 sont adaptées pour que leur force d'adhérence relative ne soit pas sensiblement modifiée après avoir subi un chauffage (pour la réalisation des inscriptions variables 8 ou pour le transfert de la pellicule 3 sur un film protecteur 11).The support 2a can be a paper and / or a monolayer or multilayer synthetic film capable of withstanding a temperature of at least 150 ° C. The layer of varnish 2b can be formed by a screen printing of an acrylic varnish with ultraviolet polymerization, for example varnish ref. UV BOND 391 marketed by the company SERICOL (France). This varnish is chosen so as to be compatible with the support 2a, and to present when cold (that is to say at room temperature) the adhesion strength (between 75mN / 25mm and 1000mN / 25mm) desired with said first adhesive layer 3a of the film 3. In addition, the layer of varnish 2b of the base 2 and the first layer of adhesive 3a of the film 3 are adapted so that their relative adhesion strength is not substantially modified after having underwent heating (for making variable inscriptions 8 or for transferring the film 3 onto a protective film 11).
Par ailleurs, le fond 2 présente avantageusement et selon l'invention, des inscriptions communes 6, et la pellicule 3 est translucide ou transparente, de sorte que ces inscriptions communes 6 sont visibles et facilitent le repérage pour la réalisation des inscriptions variables 8. Ainsi, la fiche intermédiaire 1 selon l'invention est une fiche formulaire sur laquelle il est aisé de réaliser des inscriptions variables 8.Furthermore, the bottom 2 advantageously has and according to the invention, common inscriptions 6, and the film 3 is translucent or transparent, so that these common inscriptions 6 are visible and facilitate the location for the realization of variable inscriptions 8. Thus , the intermediate file 1 according to the invention is a form file on which it is easy to make variable inscriptions 8.
Dans la variante représentée et de préférence, les inscriptions communes 6 sont réalisées dans leur sens normal de lecture, par sérigraphie, sur une face libre du support 2a, puis recouvertes par la couche de vernis 2b translucide ou transparente. Elles sont donc interposées entre le support 2a et la couche de vernis 2b du fond 2.In the variant shown and preferably, the common inscriptions 6 are produced in their normal reading direction, by screen printing, on a free face of the support 2a, then covered with the layer of translucent varnish 2b or transparent. They are therefore interposed between the support 2a and the layer of varnish 2b of the bottom 2.
En variante ou en combinaison non représentée, les inscriptions communes 6 peuvent être imprimées en vitrophanie (orientation inverse vue dans un miroir) sur une face 7 du fond 2 qui est opposée à celle 4 recevant la première couche d'adhésif thermoréactivable 3a, et le fond 2 est alors également translucide ou transparent pour permettre la visualisation de ces inscriptions communes 6 à travers la pellicule 3 et l'épaisseur de ce fond 2, au moins lorsque ce fond 2 est posé et appliqué sur un support plan tel qu'une table. Avantageusement et selon l'invention, les inscriptions communes 6 imprimées sur le fond 2 reproduisent des inscriptions communes 14 du document à réaliser. Il est à noter que ces inscriptions communes 6 sont réalisées sur le fond 2 à l'avance à la fabrication de la fiche intermédiaire 1 (et non pas lors de l'utilisation de la fiche intermédiaire 1 pour la préparation du document). II est aussi à noter que des inscriptions communes sécuritaires peuvent aussi être préalablement imprimées, notamment par sérigraphie, sur la face 5 de la pellicule 3 et/ou entre deux couches 3a, 3b de la pellicule 3, de façon similaire aux inscriptions communes 6 du fond 2.As a variant or in combination not shown, the common inscriptions 6 can be printed in a window sticker (reverse orientation seen in a mirror) on a face 7 of the bottom 2 which is opposite to that 4 receiving the first layer of heat-activated adhesive 3a, and the bottom 2 is then also translucent or transparent to allow the visualization of these common inscriptions 6 through the film 3 and the thickness of this bottom 2, at least when this bottom 2 is placed and applied on a flat support such as a table . Advantageously and according to the invention, the common inscriptions 6 printed on the bottom 2 reproduce common inscriptions 14 of the document to be produced. It should be noted that these common inscriptions 6 are made on the bottom 2 in advance when the intermediate sheet 1 is produced (and not when the intermediate sheet 1 is used for the preparation of the document). It should also be noted that secure common inscriptions can also be previously printed, in particular by screen printing, on the face 5 of the film 3 and / or between two layers 3a, 3b of the film 3, similarly to the common inscriptions 6 of the background 2.
L'empilement des différentes couches pour former le fond 2, les inscriptions communes 6, et la pellicule 3, et donc l'ensemble de la fiche intermédiaire 1, peut être réalisé par tout procédé connu, et en particulier, par sérigraphie.The stacking of the different layers to form the bottom 2, the common inscriptions 6, and the film 3, and therefore the entire intermediate sheet 1, can be produced by any known process, and in particular by screen printing.
Avantageusement et selon l'invention, le fond 2 est également adapté pour rester stable en température, et notamment à une température d'au moins 150°C. De la sorte, la fiche intermédiaire 1 peut supporter des impressions à haute température sans déformation (par exemple pour l'impression à l'aide d'une imprimante laser des inscriptions variables). En outre, lors de la réactivation de la première couche d'adhésif sans tack thermoréactivable 3 a, le fond 2 ne se ramollit pas, et on évite ainsi tout risque de collage définitif irréversible de la première couche d'adhésif sans tack thermoréactivable 3a sur le fond 2.Advantageously and according to the invention, the bottom 2 is also adapted to remain stable in temperature, and in particular at a temperature of at least 150 ° C. In this way, the intermediate card 1 can withstand printing at high temperature without deformation (for example for printing using a laser printer variable inscriptions). In addition, during the reactivation of the first adhesive layer without heat-activatable tack 3a, the base 2 does not soften, and this avoids any risk of permanent irreversible sticking of the first layer of heat-activatable tack-free adhesive 3a on the bottom 2.
La première couche d'adhésif sans tack thermoréactivable 3a présente avantageusement et selon l'invention, une température de fusion supérieure à 90° C. Avantageusement et selon l'invention, cette température de fusion est également inférieure ou égale à 110° C, de façon à être compatible avec la résistance thermique du document.The first layer of heat-activatable tack-free adhesive 3a advantageously has, according to the invention, a melting temperature greater than 90 ° C. Advantageously and according to the invention, this melting temperature is also less than or equal to 110 ° C, so as to be compatible with the thermal resistance of the document.
A titre de première couche d'adhésif sans tack thermoréactivable 3 a, on peut utiliser tout adhésif compatible avec la face 4 du fond 2, c'est-à-dire pouvant être couché sur cette face 4, notamment par impression sérigraphique directement sur cette face 4 du fond 2, et qui est thermoréactivable et sans tack, c'est-à-dire exempte de pouvoir adhésif à froid, pour pouvoir elle-même recevoir une impression sérigraphique subséquente (inscriptions communes sécuritaires et/ou autre couche imprimée d'adhésif et/ou de vernis de la pellicule 3). A titre d'exemple, avantageusement et selon l'invention, la première couche d'adhésif sans tack thermoréactivable 3a est formée d'un adhésif à base copolymère polyuréthane acrylique en dispersion aqueuse appliqué par sérigraphie à froid. A titre d'adhésif thermoréactivable pour former la première couche 3a, on peut utiliser par exemple l'adhésif ADTH 45 commercialisé par la Société CHIMITEC (FRANCE). La pellicule 3 peut recouvrir continûment tout ou partie -et de préférence, la majeure partie- de la face 4 du fond 2, ou au contraire est formée en plusieurs portions disjointes sur cette face 4. En tout cas, la (les) portion(s) de la pellicule 3 est (sont) adaptée(s) pour définir des emplacements aptes à recevoir les inscriptions variables 8 à réaliser. La pellicule 3 peut être formée d'une seule couche imprimée d'adhésif sans tack (première couche d'adhésif thermoréactivable comme mentionné ci-dessus).As the first layer of adhesive without heat-activatable tack 3a, any adhesive compatible with the face 4 of the base 2, that is to say which can be coated on this face 4, can be used, in particular by screen printing directly on this face 4 of the bottom 2, and which is heat-activatable and tack-free, that is to say free of cold adhesive power, in order to itself be able to receive a subsequent screen printing (common security inscriptions and / or other printed layer of adhesive and / or varnish of the film 3). By way of example, advantageously and according to the invention, the first layer of heat-activatable tack-free adhesive 3a is formed of an adhesive based on acrylic polyurethane copolymer in aqueous dispersion applied by cold screen printing. As heat-activated adhesive for forming the first layer 3a, it is possible, for example, to use the adhesive ADTH 45 sold by the company CHIMITEC (FRANCE). The film 3 can continuously cover all or part - and preferably, the major part - of the face 4 of the bottom 2, or on the contrary is formed in several disjoint portions on this face 4. In any case, the portion (s) ( s) of the film 3 is (are) adapted (s) to define locations suitable for receiving the variable inscriptions 8 to be produced. The film 3 can be formed from a single printed layer of tack-free adhesive (first layer of heat-activated adhesive as mentioned above).
Dans une autre variante, avantageusement et selon l'invention, la pellicule 3 est formée d'une pluralité de couches imprimées superposées, dont la première couche imprimée d'adhésif sans tack thermoréactivable 3a, et au moins une -notamment une seule- deuxième couche 3b imprimée superposée sur ladite première couche 3 a, cette deuxième couche 3b étant formée d'un matériau adapté pour résister à une température supérieure à 110° C, notamment de l'ordre de 130° C. De la sorte, les inscriptions variables 8 peuvent être formées sur la face libre 5 de cette deuxième couche 3b de la pellicule 3 à l'aide d'une imprimante laser noir et blanc sans détérioration de la pellicule 3.In another variant, advantageously and according to the invention, the film 3 is formed of a plurality of superimposed printed layers, the first printed layer of heat-activatable tack-free adhesive 3a, and at least one - in particular a single - printed second layer 3b superimposed on said first layer 3a, this second layer 3b being formed of a material adapted to withstand a temperature higher than 110 ° C, in particular of the order of 130 ° C. In this way, the variable inscriptions 8 can be formed on the free face 5 of this second layer 3b of the film 3 using a black laser printer and white without deterioration of the film 3.
Dans une première variante, la deuxième couche 3b est formée d'un adhésif thermoréactivable sans tack dont la température de fusion est supérieure à 110° C, notamment de l'ordre de 130° C. Par exemple, on peut utiliser un adhésif à base copolymère polyuréthane acrylique en dispersion aqueuse appliqué par sérigraphie à froid, tel que l'adhésif ADTH 20 commercialisé par la Société CHIMITEC (FRANCE). Cet adhésif est sans tack, est plus dur que l'adhésif de la première couche d'adhésif 3a, et est donc particulièrement bien adapté pour former la face libre 5 destinée à recevoir des inscriptions variables 8, quel que soit le mode d'écriture employé.In a first variant, the second layer 3b is formed of a tack-free, heat-activatable adhesive, the melting temperature of which is greater than 110 ° C., in particular of the order of 130 ° C. For example, an adhesive based on polyurethane acrylic copolymer in aqueous dispersion applied by cold screen printing, such as the adhesive ADTH 20 sold by the company CHIMITEC (FRANCE). This adhesive is tack free, is harder than the adhesive of the first layer of adhesive 3a, and is therefore particularly suitable for forming the free face 5 intended to receive variable inscriptions 8, whatever the writing mode. employee.
Dans une deuxième variante, la deuxième couche 3b est formée d'un vemis, par exemple un vernis acrylique monocomposant tel que le vernis S 1H/M51 commercialisé par la Société CHIMITEC (FRANCE). L'épaisseur de la pellicule 3 de la fiche 1 constituée des première et deuxième couches 3a, 3b imprimées par sérigraphie sur le fond 2, est avantageusement comprise entre 5 μm et 45 μm -notamment de l'ordre de 15 μm-.In a second variant, the second layer 3b is formed of a varnish, for example a single-component acrylic varnish such as the varnish S 1H / M51 sold by the company CHIMITEC (FRANCE). The thickness of the film 3 of the sheet 1 consisting of the first and second layers 3a, 3b printed by screen printing on the bottom 2, is advantageously between 5 μm and 45 μm - in particular of the order of 15 μm -.
Des essais d'adhérence ont été effectués avec un fond 2 comprenant un support 2a en papier et une couche 2b du vernis UV BOND 391, et une pellicule 3 formée de la première couche d'adhésif 3a avec l'adhésif ADTH 45 et d'une deuxième couche 3b formée soit de l'adhésif ADTH 20 (essais 1 et 2), soit du vernis S1H/M51 (essais 3 et 4). Les essais ont été réalisés à température ambiante (essais 1 et 3) ou après lamination à 140° C (essais 2 et 4) et d'une part avec une face 5 non imprimée (sans inscriptions variables) et d'autre part après avoir subi une impression avec une imprimante laser noir et blanc d'inscriptions variables formées d'écritures d'identification d'une personne et d'une photographie digitalisée. Les résultats obtenus sont les suivants :Adherence tests were carried out with a base 2 comprising a paper support 2a and a layer 2b of UV BOND 391 varnish, and a film 3 formed from the first layer of adhesive 3a with the adhesive ADTH 45 and a second layer 3b formed either of the adhesive ADTH 20 (tests 1 and 2), or of the varnish S1H / M51 (tests 3 and 4). The tests were carried out at room temperature (tests 1 and 3) or after lamination at 140 ° C (tests 2 and 4) and on the one hand with a side 5 not printed (without variable inscriptions) and on the other hand after having suffered a printing with a black and white laser printer of variable inscriptions formed by writing identifying a person and a digital photograph. The results obtained are as follows:
Ces essais reflètent la majorité des cas correspondant à l'utilisation de la fiche 1 intermédiaire, selon les modes d'écriture choisis et les procédés de transfert utilisés.These tests reflect the majority of cases corresponding to the use of the intermediate sheet 1, depending on the writing methods chosen and the transfer methods used.
Pour préparer un document 24 grâce à la fiche intermédiaire 1 selon l'invention, on réalise des inscriptions variables 8, selon leur orientation de lecture, sur la face libre 5 de la pellicule 3 de la fiche intermédiaire 1 , comme représenté figure 2, en se guidant par rapport aux inscriptions communes 6, lorsque celles-ci servent de matrice pour délimiter les emplacements et/ou définir la nature des informations correspondant aux inscriptions variables 8 à réaliser. On applique ensuite la fiche intermédiaire 1 sur une face 9 d'un film protecteur transparent 1 1 destiné à être appliqué sur le document. Comme représenté figure 3, on applique la face 5 de la pellicule 3 recevant les inscriptions variables 8 sur la face 9 libre du film protecteur 11 , qui est de préférence la face 9 libre d'une couche d'adhésif 10 de ce film 11. Ainsi, les inscriptions variables 8 se trouvent emprisonnées et intercalées entre la pellicule 3 (la deuxième couche 3b) et la couche d'adhésif 10 du film protecteur transparent 11.To prepare a document 24 using the intermediate sheet 1 according to the invention, variable inscriptions 8 are produced, according to their reading orientation, on the free face 5 of the film 3 of the intermediate sheet 1, as shown in FIG. 2, being guided with respect to the common inscriptions 6, when these serve as a matrix for delimiting the locations and / or defining the nature of the information corresponding to the variable inscriptions 8 to be produced. The intermediate sheet 1 is then applied to one face 9 of a transparent protective film 1 1 intended to be applied to the document. As shown in FIG. 3, the face 5 of the film 3 receiving the variable inscriptions 8 is applied to the free face 9 of the protective film 11, which is preferably the free face 9 of an adhesive layer 10 of this film 11. Thus, the variable inscriptions 8 are trapped and interposed between the film 3 (the second layer 3b) and the adhesive layer 10 of the transparent protective film 11.
On transfère ensuite la pellicule 3 sur le film protecteur 11 en appliquant sur l'ensemble une pression à sec à froid ou à chaud par tout moyen approprié de laminage ou de calandrage (plateau, rouleau...). Le procédé utilisé pour effectuer ce transfert dépend en outre de la nature de la couche d'adhésif 10 du film protecteur transparent 11.The film 3 is then transferred to the protective film 11 by applying dry, cold or hot pressure to the assembly by any means. suitable for laminating or calendering (tray, roller ...). The method used to effect this transfer also depends on the nature of the adhesive layer 10 of the transparent protective film 11.
Lorsque l'adhésif de cette couche d'adhésif 10 du film protecteur transparent 11 est un autoadhésif, on peut transférer la pellicule 3 de la fiche intermédiaire 1 sur la couche d'adhésif 10 du film protecteur transparent 11 par transfert à froid, ou même par transfert à chaud, dès lors que les autoadhésifs acceptent en général les températures de transfert à chaud (qui sont de l'ordre de 140° C sur les dispositifs appliquant la pression et de 105° C au cœur des matériaux). L'avantage d'utiliser un transfert à chaud est que ce transfert peut être réalisé par laminage, de façon plus rapide qu'un transfert à froid réalisé en général par compression entre des plateaux.When the adhesive of this adhesive layer 10 of the transparent protective film 11 is a self-adhesive, the film 3 of the intermediate sheet 1 can be transferred to the adhesive layer 10 of the transparent protective film 11 by cold transfer, or even by hot transfer, since the pressure-sensitive adhesives generally accept the hot transfer temperatures (which are of the order of 140 ° C. on the devices applying the pressure and 105 ° C. in the heart of the materials). The advantage of using a hot transfer is that this transfer can be carried out by rolling, more quickly than a cold transfer carried out in general by compression between plates.
Lorsque l'adhésif de la couche d'adhésif 10 du film protecteur transparent 1 1 est un adhésif de type thermoréactivable, on transfère la pellicule 3 de la fiche intermédiaire 1 sur la couche d'adhésif thermoréactivable 10 du film protecteur transparent 11 par transfert à chaud, et notamment par laminage à chaud.When the adhesive of the adhesive layer 10 of the transparent protective film 1 1 is a heat-activated adhesive, the film 3 of the intermediate sheet 1 is transferred to the layer of heat-activated adhesive 10 of the transparent protective film 11 by transfer to hot, and in particular by hot rolling.
Lors d'un tel transfert à chaud, la première couche d'adhésif thermoréactivable 3 a a ses propriétés d'adhésion réactivées. Mais après refroidissement, celles-ci disparaissent à nouveau, et compte tenu du fait que le fond 2 est peu adhérent à froid sur cette première couche 3a, il peut ensuite en être séparé. Après cette opération de transfert, le film 11 porte les inscriptions variables 8 emprisonnées entre la pellicule 3 et la couche d'adhésif 10.During such a hot transfer, the first layer of heat-activated adhesive 3 has its reactivated adhesion properties. But after cooling, these disappear again, and taking into account the fact that the bottom 2 has little adhesion when cold on this first layer 3a, it can then be separated therefrom. After this transfer operation, the film 11 bears the variable inscriptions 8 trapped between the film 3 and the layer of adhesive 10.
Le film protecteur transparent 11 est par exemple un film de protection anti-falsification multicouches tel que décrit dans EP-0 271 941 ou US 5 232 527. Par exemple, ce film protecteur transparent 11 comprend deux couches de polyuréthane 15, 16 et, interposées entre-elles, une impression 17 de motifs d'authentification et/ou anti-photocopie et/ou anti-contrefaçon. En outre, avantageusement et selon l'invention, le film 11 protecteur transparent est présenté porté par un support 18, par exemple en polystyrène, qui n'adhère pas au film 11 et qui est utilisé pour son transport ou pour sa fabrication par sérigraphie et lors du collage sur la feuille de base 13 du document qui s'effectue donc par transfert.The transparent protective film 11 is for example a multilayer anti-forgery protective film as described in EP-0 271 941 or US 5 232 527. For example, this transparent protective film 11 comprises two layers of polyurethane 15, 16 and, interposed between them, a print 17 of authentication and / or anti-photocopying and / or anti-counterfeiting patterns. In addition, advantageously and according to the invention, the transparent protective film 11 is presented carried by a support 18, for example made of polystyrene, which does not adhere to the film 11 and which is used for its transport or for its manufacture by screen printing and during bonding on the base sheet 13 of the document which is therefore carried out by transfer.
On peut aussi utiliser tout autre film de protection antifalsification transparent 1 1, par exemple un film comprenant au moins une couche de polyéthylène sur un support 18 de polyester.It is also possible to use any other transparent anti-forgery protection film 11, for example a film comprising at least one layer of polyethylene on a support 18 of polyester.
Il est à noter que la force d'adhérence de la première couche d'adhésif 3a sur le fond 2 est adaptée à la nature du film protecteur 11, et notamment à l'adhérence de ce film 11 sur son support 18. En particulier, la pellicule 3 doit adhérer sur le fond 2 moins fortement que le film 1 1 n'adhère sur son support 18. Dans le cas d'un film 1 1 de polyuréthane ayant une force d'adhérence relativement faible sur son support 18 de polystyrène, on choisit la pellicule 3 et le fond 2 pour qu'ils présentent une force d'adhérence relative faible, notamment de l'ordre de 75 mN/25mm, mesurée selon la norme FINAT N° 4 (FTM4), comme c'est le cas de l'adhésif ADTH 45 (CHIMITEC, FRANCE) sur le vernis UV BOND 391. Dans le cas d'un film 1 1 polyéthylène sur un support 18 polyester, ayant une force d'adhérence beaucoup plus grande, la pellicule 3 et le fond 2 peuvent adhérer aussi plus fortement l'un à l'autre, leur force d'adhérence relative, mesurée selon la norme FINAT N° 4 (FTM4), pouvant aller jusqu'à 1000 mN/25mm. Après avoir effectué le transfert de la pellicule 3 sur le film 1 1 et, le cas échéant, après refroidissement, on sépare le fond 2 de la pellicule 3 qui lui était associée comme représenté figure 4. La première couche d'adhésif thermoréactivable 3 a présente alors une face libre 12 (qui était la face initialement au contact de la face 4 du fond 2) que l'on applique sur la feuille de base 13 du document. On colle ensuite à chaud le film protecteur transparent 1 1 sur cette feuille de base 13, avec la première couche d'adhésif thermoréactivable 3a appliquée sur la feuille de base 13 du document, de préférence en exerçant une pression, par exemple par laminage à chaud. Il est à noter que la feuille de base 13 portait, préalablement à ce collage sur sa face recevant le film 1 1, des inscriptions communes 14 identiques ou au moins semblables aux inscriptions communes 6 imprimées sur le fond 2 de la fiche intermédiaire. De la sorte, le positionnement du film 11 et des inscriptions variables 8 par rapport à la feuille 13 est facilement réalisé.It should be noted that the adhesive strength of the first layer of adhesive 3a on the bottom 2 is adapted to the nature of the protective film 11, and in particular to the adhesion of this film 11 on its support 18. In particular, the film 3 must adhere to the bottom 2 less strongly than the film 1 1 adheres to its support 18. In the case of a film 1 1 of polyurethane having a relatively weak adhesive force on its support 18 of polystyrene, the film 3 and the bottom 2 are chosen so that they have a low relative adhesion force, in particular of the order of 75 mN / 25mm, measured according to the FINAT standard No. 4 (FTM4), as is the ADTH 45 adhesive (CHIMITEC, FRANCE) on UV BOND 391 varnish. In the case of a 1 1 polyethylene film on a 18 polyester support, having a much greater adhesive force, the film 3 and the bottom 2 can also adhere more strongly to each other, their relative adhesion strength, measured according to FINAT standard No. 4 (F TM4), up to 1000 mN / 25mm. After carrying out the transfer of the film 3 onto the film 11 and, if necessary, after cooling, the bottom 2 is separated from the film 3 which was associated with it as shown in FIG. 4. The first layer of heat-activated adhesive 3 a then has a free face 12 (which was the face initially in contact with the face 4 of the bottom 2) which is applied to the base sheet 13 of the document. The transparent protective film 11 is then hot-glued onto this base sheet 13, with the first layer of heat-activated adhesive 3a applied to the base sheet 13 of the document, preferably by applying pressure, for example by hot rolling. . It should be noted that the base sheet 13 had, prior to this bonding on its face receiving the film 11, identical common inscriptions 14 or at least similar to the common inscriptions 6 printed on the bottom 2 of the intermediate sheet. In this way, the positioning of the film 11 and the variable inscriptions 8 relative to the sheet 13 is easily achieved.
Comme on le voit figure 5, après le collage à chaud du film 11 sur la feuille de base 13 du document, le support 18 est décollé du film 11.As can be seen in FIG. 5, after the hot bonding of the film 11 on the base sheet 13 of the document, the support 18 is peeled off from the film 11.
En final, les inscriptions variables 8 se trouvent associées à la feuille de base 13, correctement positionnées par rapport aux inscriptions communes 14, et sont visibles à travers la couche d'adhésif thermoréactivable 10 et les couches de polyuréthane 15, 16 transparentes du film 11. On obtient donc un document 24 préparé, c'est-à-dire personnalisé ou individualisé avec des inscriptions variables 8.Finally, the variable inscriptions 8 are associated with the base sheet 13, correctly positioned with respect to the common inscriptions 14, and are visible through the layer of heat-activated adhesive 10 and the transparent polyurethane layers 15, 16 of the film 11 One thus obtains a document 24 prepared, that is to say personalized or individualized with variable inscriptions 8.
Selon l'invention, les inscriptions variables 8 peuvent être réalisées en particulier selon au moins un mode de réalisation choisi parmi : une écriture manuelle, une écriture à l'aide d'une machine à écrire, une impression à l'aide d'une imprimante matricielle, une impression à l'aide d'une imprimante laser (couleur ou noir et blanc), une impression à l'aide d'une imprimante par transfert d'encre à sec (dite "microdry"), une impression à l'aide d'une imprimante à jet d'encre, un collage d'image ou de photographie. On réalise les inscriptions variables 8 à l'aide d'une encre visible. Les inscriptions variables 8 se trouvant emprisonnées et interposées entre la pellicule 3 et le film 11 -notamment entre la deuxième couche 3b de la pellicule 3 et la couche d'adhésif 10 du film 11-, après collage à chaud, sont protégées de toutes les agressions extérieures et de toutes les tentatives de falsification, y compris par infiltration du côté et à travers la feuille de base 13 du document 24.According to the invention, variable inscriptions 8 can be produced in particular according to at least one embodiment chosen from: manual writing, writing using a typewriter, printing using a dot matrix printer, printing using a laser printer (color or black and white), printing using a dry ink transfer printer (known as "microdry"), printing Using an inkjet printer, collage of images or photographs. Variable inscriptions 8 are produced using visible ink. The variable inscriptions 8 being trapped and interposed between the film 3 and the film 11 -in particular between the second layer 3b of the film 3 and the adhesive layer 10 of the film 11-, after hot gluing, are protected from all external aggression and all attempts at falsification, including by infiltration from the side and through the base sheet 13 of document 24.
Il est à noter de surcroît que si la deuxième couche 3b de la pellicule 3 et la couche d'adhésif 10 du film protecteur transparent 11 sont toutes deux des couches d'adhésif thermoréactivable, ces deux couches 3b, 10 fusionnent lors du collage à chaud, de sorte que les inscriptions variables 8 se trouvent en final incorporées au sein d'une seule et même couche d'adhésif fusionnée.It should also be noted that if the second layer 3b of the film 3 and the adhesive layer 10 of the transparent protective film 11 are both layers of heat-activated adhesive, these two layers 3b, 10 merge during hot bonding. , so that the variable inscriptions 8 are ultimately incorporated within a single layer of fused adhesive.
La figure 6 représente un mode de réalisation d'un dispositif 25 selon l'invention pour la préparation d'un document qui se présente sous la forme d'un livret relié, par exemple un passeport. Ce dispositif 25 se compose d'un document vierge comprenant au moins une feuille de base 13 exempte d'inscription variable sur laquelle sont préimprimées des inscriptions communes 14 ; d'au moins une fiche intermédiaire 1 selon l'invention ; et d'au moins un film protecteur transparent 11. Avantageusement et selon l'invention, le film protecteur transparent 1 1 est porté par sa feuille support 18 de façon à présenter ladite couche d'adhésif 10 libre (formée d'un autoadhésif ou d'un adhésif thermoréactivable) vers l'extérieur, de sorte que cette couche d'adhésif 10 peut recevoir la pellicule 3 de la fiche intermédiaire 1.FIG. 6 represents an embodiment of a device 25 according to the invention for the preparation of a document which is in the form of a bound booklet, for example a passport. This device 25 consists of a blank document comprising at least one base sheet 13 free of variable inscriptions on which are pre-printed common inscriptions 14; at least one intermediate plug 1 according to the invention; and at least one transparent protective film 11. Advantageously and according to the invention, the transparent protective film 11 is carried by its support sheet 18 so as to present said layer of free adhesive 10 (formed of a self-adhesive or of 'heat-activatable adhesive) to the outside, so that this layer of adhesive 10 can receive the film 3 of the intermediate plug 1.
La feuille de base 13, la fiche intermédiaire 1 et le film protecteur transparent 1 1 sont reliés ensemble par une reliure commune 19. La fiche intermédiaire 1 est intercalée entre la feuille de base 13 du document et le film protecteur transparent 11. La face 7 du fond 2 de la fiche intermédiaire 1 opposée à la pellicule 3 de cette fiche 1 est orientée vers la feuille de base 13. La face 9 du film protecteur transparent 1 1 destinée à recevoir la pellicule 3 de la fiche intermédiaire 1 avec des inscriptions variables 8, est orientée vers la pellicule 3 de la fiche intermédiaire 1. Cette face 9 est la face libre de la couche d'adhésif 10 du film protecteur transparent 1 1 orientée vers la fiche 1. De préférence, avantageusement et selon l'invention, une feuille 20 anti-adhérente détachable est intercalée entre la fiche intermédiaire 1 et le film protecteur transparent 11 afin d'éviter un collage intempestif avant utilisation de la couche d'adhésif 10 du film protecteur 1 1 sur la pellicule 3 de la fiche intermédiaire 1. Cette feuille 20 est par exemple constituée d'une simple feuille de papier siliconé au moins du côté du film 1 1. En variante non représentée, la pellicule 3 et la couche d'adhésif 10 peuvent être protégées par des feuilles anti-adhérentes distinctes, une pour la pellicule 3 et une autre pour la couche d'adhésif 10.The base sheet 13, the intermediate sheet 1 and the transparent protective film 1 1 are connected together by a common binding 19. The intermediate sheet 1 is interposed between the basic sheet 13 of the document and the transparent protective film 11. The face 7 from the bottom 2 of the intermediate sheet 1 opposite the film 3 of this sheet 1 is oriented towards the base sheet 13. The face 9 of the transparent protective film 1 1 intended to receive the film 3 of the intermediate sheet 1 with variable inscriptions 8, is oriented towards the film 3 of the intermediate sheet 1. This face 9 is the free face of the adhesive layer 10 of the transparent protective film 1 1 oriented towards the sheet 1. Preferably, advantageously and according to the invention, a detachable non-stick sheet 20 is interposed between the intermediate plug 1 and the transparent protective film 11 in order to avoid inadvertent sticking before use of the adhesive layer 10 of the protective film ector 1 1 on the film 3 of the intermediate sheet 1. This sheet 20 is for example constituted by a simple sheet of silicone paper at least on the side of the film 1 1. In a variant not shown, the film 3 and the layer of adhesive 10 can be protected by separate release sheets, one for the film 3 and another for the adhesive layer 10.
La fiche intermédiaire 1 est reliée par son fond 2 à la reliure du document et le film protecteur transparent 11 est relié par sa feuille support 18 qui le porte à la reliure du document. De préférence, avantageusement et selon l'invention, la fiche intermédiaire 1 et/ou le film protecteur transparent 11, est relié de façon détachable à la reliure du document. Dans le mode de réalisation représenté et selon l'invention, le fond 2 est doté d'une ligne de prédécoupe 21 à proximité de la reliure 19 permettant de détacher aisément ce fond 2 du document, notamment en vue de l'application ultérieure du film 11 sur la feuille de base 13. De même, la feuille 20 anti-adhérente détachable intercalaire est dotée d'une ligne de prédécoupe 22 s'étendant le long et à proximité de la reliure 19, permettant de la détacher du document. Egalement, la feuille de support 18 du film protecteur 11 est reliée à la reliure 19 par l'intermédiaire d'une ligne de prédécoupe 23 ménagée sur cette feuille de support 18 le long et à proximité de la reliure 19, de sorte que la feuille de support 18 peut être détachée du document.The intermediate sheet 1 is connected by its bottom 2 to the binding of the document and the transparent protective film 11 is connected by its support sheet 18 which relates to the binding of the document. Preferably, advantageously and according to the invention, the intermediate sheet 1 and / or the transparent protective film 11, is detachably connected to the binding of the document. In the embodiment shown and according to the invention, the bottom 2 is provided with a precut line 21 near the binding 19 making it possible to easily detach this bottom 2 from the document, in particular for the subsequent application of the film 11 on the base sheet 13. Likewise, the detachable non-sticky interlayer sheet 20 is provided with a precut line 22 extending along and near the binding 19, making it possible to detach it from the document. Also, the support sheet 18 of the protective film 11 is connected to the binding 19 by means of a pre-cut line 23 formed on this support sheet 18 along and near the binding 19, so that the sheet support 18 can be detached from the document.
En variante non représentée, la fiche intermédiaire 1 et/ou le film 1 1 peuvent être fournis séparés du document à protéger. Pour obtenir et préparer le document 24 final personnalisé à partir de ce dispositif 25, on réalise les inscriptions variables 8 comme représenté figure 6 sur la pellicule 3 de la fiche 1 par tout moyen approprié comme indiqué ci- dessus. On détache ensuite la feuille anti-adhérente intercalaire 20 et on applique la fiche 1 contre le film protecteur transparent 11, la pellicule 3 et la couche d'adhésif 10 du film 11 étant en contact. On transfère comme indiqué ci-dessus la pellicule 3 avec les inscriptions variables 8 sur le film protecteur transparent 11 , puis on détache le fond 2 en le décollant de la première couche d'adhésif thermoréactivable 3a et donc de la pellicule 3, qui est alors portée par le film 11. On applique ensuite et on colle à chaud, de préférence par laminage, le film protecteur transparent 11 sur la feuille de base 13, puis on décolle et on détache la feuille support 18 du film 11. On obtient alors un document personnalisé 24 doté d'inscriptions variables 8 associées à la feuille de base 13. Mais ces inscriptions variables 8 sont intercalées entre la deuxième couche 3b de la pellicule 3 et la couche d'adhésif 10 ou dans une couche résultant de la fusion des couches 3b, 10. En outre, la pellicule 3 et la couche d'adhésif 10, ou la couche résultant de ladite fusion est (sont) recouverte(s) par le film protecteur transparent 11. Un tel document est par exemple un passeport ou tout autre document officiel d'identification et/ou d'authentification. L'invention peut faire l'objet de nombreuses variantes par rapport aux modes de réalisation décrits et représentés. En particulier, la fiche intermédiaire 1 peut être séparée et présentée sous forme d'un encart placé dans le livret ou même complètement indépendamment du document et/ou du film 11. Le document peut également se présenter sous toute autre forme qu'un livret (carte en papier et/ou en matière plastique...). Il peut comprendre plusieurs feuilles de base 13, mais une fiche intermédiaire 1 et un film protecteur transparent 1 1 est prévu pour chaque page devant recevoir des inscriptions variables 8. In a variant not shown, the intermediate sheet 1 and / or the film 1 1 can be supplied separate from the document to be protected. To obtain and prepare the final personalized document 24 from this device 25, variable inscriptions 8 are produced as shown in FIG. 6 on film 3 of sheet 1 by any appropriate means as indicated above. The intermediate non-stick sheet 20 is then detached and the sheet 1 is applied against the transparent protective film 11, the film 3 and the adhesive layer 10 of the film 11 being in contact. The film 3 is transferred as indicated above with the variable inscriptions 8 onto the transparent protective film 11, then the base 2 is detached by peeling it off from the first layer of heat-activated adhesive 3a and therefore from the film 3, which is then carried by the film 11. The transparent protective film 11 is then applied and hot glued, preferably by lamination, on the base sheet 13, then it is peeled off and the support sheet 18 is detached from the film 11. This gives a personalized document 24 with variable inscriptions 8 associated with the base sheet 13.
