Definitions

• the invention relates to a security document, such as a banknote, security, identification card or the like, with a security element which has at least one machine-testable, magnetic layer and at least one further layer.
• DE-PS 16 96245 discloses a security paper in which a security thread with a ferromagnetic coating is embedded.
• the magnet material usually used has a very dark body color, so that the security thread can be recognized as a dark stripe on the paper surface even when completely embedded in the paper.
• DE-PS 2754267 From DE-PS 2754267 it is also known to provide a security thread with a magnetic coating and a further security feature.
• An important selection criterion for the security features to be combined is that the counterfeiters should not be able to easily recognize and imitate the features. For this reason, the magnetic layer is combined, for example, with a metal layer or an opaque lacquer that fluoresces under UV light.
• the measures described in DE-PS 2754267 increase the security against forgery only in the event that the document is actually checked by machine. A visual check of the authenticity of the document is not possible or only made possible to a limited extent by the security features described.
• a security thread has therefore already been proposed (W092 / 11142), which enables both a mechanical check of the magnetic properties and a visual authenticity check.
• the magnetic layer is combined with an opaque metal layer which has cutouts in the form of characters or patterns, the magnetic layer being arranged under the metal layer as seen by the viewer, so that the optical effect of the magnetic material on the paper surface is not occurs.
• the cutouts are practically invisible in the incident light in the paper, but stand out in contrast to the opaque environment in contrast to the light.
• care must therefore be taken that the magnetic layer and the visually recognizable characters are generated in register with one another so that they do not overlap.
• the invention is based on the object of proposing a security document with a security element which has a magnetic coating, the inherent color of which hardly occurs in incident light and which can be provided in a simple manner with additional visually verifiable features.
• a cover layer which is partially permeable in the visual spectral range is already sufficient to weaken the dark appearance of the magnetic material to such an extent that the mostly unsightly desired optical effects can be avoided.
• the partially permeable cover layer also makes it possible to provide the security element with visually and / or machine-recognizable information, for example by providing recesses in the form of characters in the magnetic layer or by forming the magnetic layer itself in the form of visually and / or machine-recognizable characters or patterns . In this case, an exact register-based arrangement of the cover layer and magnetic layer is no longer necessary, since the visually recognizable information can be seen through the partially transparent layer.
• the security element therefore consists of a magnetic layer and a partially permeable layer covering the magnetic layer.
• the partially permeable layer consists of a thin semi-transparent metal layer.
• a semitransparent metal layer with a not too thin layer thickness, has optical reflection properties that are very similar to an opaque metal layer.
• the partially permeable layer of the security element is formed by a raster layer, the individual raster elements being opaque, preferably metallic.
• the grid elements can have any shape. Geometric standard shapes, such as points, lines, triangles, etc., are also possible, as are special patterns, numbers, letters, etc.
• the raster size is chosen so that there is sufficient coverage of the magnetic layer, but at the same time, there may also be one under the screened layer Information remains recognizable.
• the raster elements can be produced using any printing ink, but preferably a white or light printing ink, or using any coating method, such as vacuum steaming, hot stamping, etc.
• the magnetic layer can be provided either over the entire surface or only in regions, regardless of the type of cover layer used.
• the magnetic layer is applied in the form of a coding, in particular a bar code.
• the magnetic layer can also contain only cutouts in the form of visually and / or machine-readable characters.
• further visually and / or machine-recognizable information can be arranged in the areas of the code free of magnetic layers or in the cutouts.
• the areas without magnetic layers can be filled with a non-magnetic layer, for example, which has the same color as the magnetic material. In this way the presence of a magnetic code is additionally obscured.
• This non-magnetic layer can also have cutouts in the form of characters, patterns, etc.
• a magnetic layer and a partially permeable cover layer in accordance with the invention not only makes it possible to provide verifiable information in the magnetic layer, but also to include the partially permeable cover layer in the design of the security element, which results in a wide variety of embodiments which, in addition to various specific advantages have the common advantage that the security against forgery of the security element or the object provided with this security element is increased.
