Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of the seals which are utilized to ensure the authenticity of products. More specifically, the invention relates to a yarn comprising at least one fiber which can be identified in order to verify the authenticity of the yarn employed and of the product into which the yarn is incorporated.
  • the invention provides a very useful way to ensure the authenticity of a product by a yarn, preferably a multi-thread yarn, comprising at least one fiber hidden inside the yarn and which can be identified by a suitable reading device.
  • the latter therefore constitutes the internal core of the yarn or can be alternatively arranged as internal element of a coaxial yarn.
  • the fiber of the invention is a fiber carrying a code obtained by magnetic materials.
  • the suitable reading device is a magnetic detector
  • the fiber can be arranged inside and constitute the core of a yarn of the usual type (preferred solution where the yarn is a synthetic yarn manufactured by extrusion).
  • the yarn for example when fabrics are concerned, can be embedded in the fabric or sewn into a predetermined part of an article of clothes.
  • a yarn or a fiber according to the invention provides an highly efficient and reliable way to verify the authenticity of a product. This result is obtained simply by checking with the suitable reading device whether or not a fiber is inserted in the predetermined position of the product to be verified.
  • a yarn according to the invention can also be used to fix a conventional seal to a product, because the replacement or the cutting of the yarn which binds the seal to the product could be easily verified. On the other hand, neither is it possible to cut the yarn in order to apply the same seal to a counterfeited product.
