Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren nach Anspruch 1. Der Aufzeichnungsträger ist insbesondere eine Ausweis- oder Wertkarte mit wenigstens einer Kartenkörper bildenden Schicht und einer transparenten auflaminierten Deckschicht sowie wenigstens einem flächigen Sicherheitselement, das mit Sicherheitsinformationen, insbesondere holographischen oder kinegraphischen Informationen versehen ist.The invention relates to a method according to claim 1. The recording medium is in particular a card or card with at least one card body forming layer and a transparent laminated top layer and at least one planar security element, which is provided with security information, in particular holographic or kinegraphischen information.

Aufzeichnungsträger sind insbesondere als Ausweis- oder Wertkarten oder als sogenannte "Datapages" in Reisepässen bekannt. Zum Stand der Technik wird hier beispielsweise auf die DE 3048733 C , DE 3151407 C , DE 4134539 A , DE 3840729 C . und auf die EP 0,230,497 A verwiesen. Die US-A-5658 411 offenbart ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Laminates, das eine Ausweiskarte sein kann. Hierbei wird eine Schutzschicht auf ein Sicherheitselement auflaminiert. Das Sicherheitselement kann holographische Informationen enthalten und befindet sich auf der obersten Schicht eines Kartenkörpers. Dem Fachmann ist auch bekannt, dass die Fälschungssicherheit solcher Aufzeichnungsträger mit einem kinegraphischen oder holographischen Sicherheitselement wesentlich erhöht werden kann. Solche Sicherheitselemente werden beispielsweise mittels eines Heissprägeverfahrens auf den Aufzeichnungsträger aufgebracht. Hierbei sind die Sicherheitselemente unterseitig auf eine bandförmige Trägerfolie aufgedampft. Diese Sicherheitselemente werden mittels eines beheizten Stempels im Heissprägeverfahren übertragen. Nach dem Heissprägen wird die bandförmige Trägerfolie abgezogen. Die aufgedampfte Schicht ist eine ausserordentlich dünne Metallschicht, beispielsweise aus Aluminium. Es hat sich nun gezeigt, dass solche Sicherheitselemente durch Abnutzung oder sonstige Beanspruchung beschädigt werden und damit weitgehend Ihre Sicherheitfunktion verlieren. Um dies zu vermeiden ist es bekannt, das Sicherheitselement nach dem Aufprägen mit einem Lack zu überziehen. Ein solcher Schutzlack ist aber nicht bei allen Aufzeichnungsträgern geeignet und dieser nützt sich bei langjährigem Gebrauch ebenfalls ab.Record carriers are known in particular as ID cards or prepaid cards or as so-called "datapages" in passports. The state of the art is here for example on the DE 3048733 C . DE 3151407 C . DE 4134539 A . DE 3840729 C , and on the EP 0,230,497 A directed. The US-A-5658411 discloses a method of making a laminate which may be a badge. Here, a protective layer is laminated to a security element. The security element may contain holographic information and is located on the topmost layer of a card body. It is also known to the person skilled in the art that the counterfeit security of such recording media can be substantially increased with a kinegraphic or holographic security element. Such security elements are applied, for example by means of a hot stamping process on the recording medium. Here, the security elements are vapor-deposited on the underside on a band-shaped carrier film. These safety elements are transferred by means of a heated stamp in the hot stamping process. After hot stamping, the band-shaped carrier film is peeled off. The vapor-deposited layer is an extraordinarily thin metal layer, for example of aluminum. It has now been shown that such security elements are damaged by wear or other stress and thus largely lose their security function. To avoid this, it is known to coat the security element after imprinting with a paint. However, such a protective lacquer is not suitable for all recording media and this is also useful after many years of use.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren der genannten Art zu schaffen, bei dem die Sicherheitsfunktion des Sicherheitselementes länger erhalten bleibt und der trotzdem kostengünstig herstellbar ist.The invention has for its object to provide a method of the type mentioned, in which the safety function of the security element is retained longer and is still inexpensive to produce.

Die Aufgabe ist gemäss Anspruch 1 gelöst. Das nach dem erfindungsgemässen Verfahren hergestellte Sicherheitselement ist zwischen zwei miteinander laminierten Schichten angeordnet und mit einer Schutzschicht versehen ist, wobei wenigstens eine der laminierten Schichten eine transparente Deckschicht ist. Beim Aufzeichnungsträger ist das Sicherheitselement einlaminiert und damit gegen eine Beschädigung ausserordentlich geschützt. Die auf dem Sicherheitselement angeordnete Schutzschicht ermöglicht ein Einlaminieren des Sicherheitselementes ohne dass dieses beschädigt wird. Beim Einlaminieren ist das Sicherheitselement durch Wärme und auch durch mechanische Einwirkung beansprucht. Es hat sich nun gezeigt, dass mit einer Schutzschicht ein Einlaminieren möglich ist, ohne dass sich im ausserordentlich dünnen Sicherheitselement Risse und insbesondere Mikrorisse bilden. Das Sicherheitselement bleibt aufgrund der Schutzschicht klar und ohne Trübung und ist durch die transparente Dickschicht visuell gut erkennbar.The problem is solved according to claim 1. The security element produced by the method according to the invention is arranged between two layers laminated together and provided with a protective layer, wherein at least one of the laminated layers is a transparent cover layer. When recording medium, the security element is laminated and thus extremely protected against damage. The protective layer disposed on the security element allows lamination of the security element without damaging it. When lamination, the security element is stressed by heat and also by mechanical action. It has now been found that lamination is possible with a protective layer without cracks and in particular microcracks forming in the extraordinarily thin security element. The security element remains clear due to the protective layer and without turbidity and is visually clearly visible through the transparent thick film.

Die Schutzschicht ist eine Trägerfolie, auf welcher das Sicherheitselement aufgedampft worden ist. Solche Trägerfolien sind an sich bekannt und bestehen beispielsweise aus Polyester. Auf der Unterseite der aufgedampften Sicherheitselemente ist eine Siegelschicht aufgebracht. Mittels eines Heissiegelstempels, welcher mit einer zusätzlichen Stanzkontur versehen ist, wird das Sicherheitselement aus der Trägerfolie ausgestanzt und unter Hitzeeinwirkung auf eine Schicht aufgebracht. Im Gegensatz zum Stand der Technik bleibt die ausgestanzte Trägerfolie auf dem Sicherheitselement und ist Aufzeichnungsträger zwischen zwei Schichten einlaminiert. Die mit dem Sicherheitselement ausgestanzte Trägerfolie schützt das Sicherheitselement beim Einlaminieren gegen Beschädigung.The protective layer is a carrier film on which the security element has been vapor-deposited. Such carrier films are known per se and consist for example of polyester. On the underside of the deposited security elements, a sealing layer is applied. By means of a heat seal stamp, which is provided with an additional punching contour, the security element is punched out of the carrier film and applied to a layer under the action of heat. In contrast to the prior art, the punched out carrier film remains on the security element and recording medium is laminated between two layers. The carrier foil stamped out with the security element protects the security element against damage during lamination.

Nach einer Weiterbildung besteht die Schutzschicht aus einem Kunststoff, der sich mit der auflaminierten Schicht im wesentlichen nicht verbindet. Es hat sich überraschend gezeigt, dass eine solche lose Verbindung die Stabilität und Dauerhaftigkeit des Aufzeichnungsträger in keiner Weise beeinträchtigt.According to a development, the protective layer consists of a plastic which does not substantially bond with the laminated layer. It has surprisingly been found that such a loose connection in no way affects the stability and durability of the recording medium.

Der nach dem Verfahren hergestellte Aufzeichnungsträger weist insbesondere Schichten aus Polycarbonat auf. Bei Aufzeichnungsträgern aus Polycarbonat war das Problem einer Beschädigung des Sicherheitselementes besonders gross, da dieses im Gegensatz zu einer Karte aus PVC nicht vertieft angeordnet und damit einem Abrieb besonders ausgesetzt ist. Polycarbonat eignet sich insbesondere für staatliche Ausweise, die während vielen Jahren gültig und im Gebrauch sein können und für welche solche Sicherheitselemente besonders wichtig sind. Beim Aufzeichnungsträger ist nun das Sicherheitselement gegen Beschädigung und auch gegen Missbrauch vollständig geschützt.The recording medium produced by the method has in particular layers of polycarbonate. In the case of polycarbonate recording media, the problem of damage to the security element was particularly great since, unlike a card made of PVC, it is not recessed and therefore particularly exposed to abrasion. Polycarbonate is particularly suitable for state ID cards that can be valid and in use for many years and for which such security elements are particularly important. With the record carrier, the security element is now completely protected against damage and also against misuse.

Beim erfindungsgemässen Verfahren wird wenigstens eine transparente Schicht auf eine weitere Schicht auf laminiert und ein flächiges und Sicherheitsinformationen tragendes Sicherheitselement aufgebracht. Erfindungswesentlich ist, dass das Sicherheitselement zwischen zwei Schichten einlaminiert wird und mit einer Schutzschicht versehen ist, die ebenfalls einlaminiert wird. Das Sicherheitselement wird vor dem Einlaminieren auf eine Trägerfolie aufgedampft. Diese Trägerfolie bleibt auf dem Schicherheitselement und bildet beim Einlaminieren die genannte Schutzschicht.In the method according to the invention, at least one transparent layer is laminated onto a further layer and a planar security element carrying security information is applied. Essential to the invention is that the security element is laminated between two layers and provided with a protective layer, which is also laminated. The security element is vapor-deposited on a carrier film prior to lamination. This carrier film remains on the security element and forms the said protective layer during lamination.

Eine besonders hohe Fälschungssicherheit wird dann erreicht, wenn gemäss seiner Weiterbildung das Sicherheitselement ein holographisches oder kinegraphisches Element ist. Ein wesentlicher Vorteil des erfindungsgemässen Verfahrens wird dahin gesehen, dass die Herstellung nicht aufwendiger ist als bisher.A particularly high security against counterfeiting is achieved if, according to its development, the security element is a holographic or kinegraphic element. An essential advantage of the method according to the invention is seen in the fact that the production is no more complicated than before.

Der in Figur 1 im Schnitt gezeigte Aufzeichnungsträger 1 ist beispielsweise ein kartenförmiger staatlicher Ausweis oder beispielsweise eine Kreditkarte. Ein Kartenkörper C wird durch drei Schichten 3, 4 und 5 gebildet. Diese Schichten sind miteinander verbunden, beispielsweise und vorzugsweise durch ein Laminierverfahren. Diese Schichten 3, 4 und 5 bilden die Kernfolien und bestehen beispielsweise aus PVC oder Polycarbonat. Der Kartenkörper C kann auch aus weniger oder mehr Schichten bestehen. Eine obere Deckschicht 2 ist transparent und auf die Schicht 3 auflaminiert. Zwischen den Schichten 2 und 3 ist ein Sicherheitselement 8 einlaminiert, das gemäss Figur 2 zwischen einer Heissiegelschicht 3 und einer Schutzschicht 7 angeordnet ist.The in FIG. 1 shown in section record carrier 1 is for example a card-shaped state card or, for example, a credit card. A card body C is formed by three layers 3, 4 and 5. These layers are bonded together, for example and preferably by a lamination process. These layers 3, 4 and 5 form the core films and consist for example of PVC or polycarbonate. The card body C may also consist of fewer or more layers. An upper cover layer 2 is transparent and laminated onto the layer 3. Between the layers 2 and 3, a security element 8 is laminated, according to FIG. 2 between a heat seal layer 3 and a protective layer 7 is arranged.

Das Sicherheitselement 8 ist vorzugsweise ein kinegraphisches oder holographisches Element und wird beispielsweise durch eine auf die Schicht 7 aufgedampfte Metallschicht gebildet. Die Herstellung solcher Sicherheitselemente 8 ist an sich bekannt. Die Metallschicht ist beispielsweise eine Aluminiumschicht, es sind jedoch auch andere Metalle geeignet.The security element 8 is preferably a kinegraphisches or holographic element and is formed for example by a deposited on the layer 7 metal layer. The production of such security elements 8 is known per se. The metal layer is for example an aluminum layer, but other metals are also suitable.

Das Sicherheitselement 8 ist mit der Heissiegelschicht 6 flächig fest mit der darunterliegenden Schicht 3 verbunden. Zwischen der Deckschicht 2 und der Schutzschicht 7 besteht jedoch keine im wesentlichen feste Verbindung. Die Kontaktfläche 14 gemäss Figur 2 bildet somit eine lose Verbindung zwischen der Schutzschicht 7 und der Deckschicht 2. Die Schutzschicht 7 ist wie die Deckschicht 2 ebenfalls transparent. Auf der Oberseite 16 des Aufzeichnungsträgers 1 ist somit das Sicherheitselement 8 visuell klar erkennbar. Erkennbar sind somit auch die auf dem Sicherheitselement 8 aufgebrachten Informationen 12 (Figur 4), also insbesondere holographische und kinegraphische Elemente, insbesondere Zeichen und bildliche Darstellungen. Anstelle einer einzigen Deckschicht 2 können auch mehrere Deckschichten vorhanden sein, die aber jeweils transparent sein sollten.The security element 8 is connected to the heat-sealing layer 6 in a flat manner with the underlying layer 3. However, there is no substantially firm connection between the cover layer 2 and the protective layer 7. The contact surface 14 according to FIG. 2 thus forms a loose connection between the protective layer 7 and the cover layer 2. The protective layer 7 is like the cover layer 2 also transparent. On the top 16 of the recording medium 1 thus the security element 8 is visually clearly visible. Recognizable are thus also applied to the security element 8 information 12 ( FIG. 4 ), ie in particular holographic and kinegraphic elements, in particular signs and pictorial representations. Instead of a single cover layer 2, several cover layers may be present, but each should be transparent.

Die Figur 5 zeigt den Aufzeichnungsträger gemäss Figur 1, wobei die einzelnen Schichten auseinandergezogen sind. Beim Ausführungsbeispiel gemäss Figur 6 sind zwei Deckschichten 2 und 13 vorgesehen, und das Sicherheitselement 8 wird zwischen diese beiden Schichten einlaminiert.The FIG. 5 shows the recording medium according to FIG. 1 , wherein the individual layers are pulled apart. In the embodiment according to FIG. 6 two cover layers 2 and 13 are provided, and the security element 8 is laminated between these two layers.

Anhand der Figuren 3 und 4 wird nachfolgend das erfindungsgemasse Verfahren erläutert.Based on FIGS. 3 and 4 the process according to the invention is explained below.

Die einzulaminierenden Sicherheitselemente 8 sind auf eine bandförmige Trägerfolie 7 aufgedampft. Die Trägerfolie 7 bildet mit den aufgedampften Sicherheitselementen 8 ein Band 9, das vorzugsweise eine Rolle bildet. Um die Sicherheitselemente 8 einzulaminieren, wird das Band 9 über einen Bogen 15 gezogen. Mittels eines Prägestempels 10 werden die Sicherheitselemente 8 aus dem Band 9 ausgestanzt und unter Wärmeeinwirkung auf den Bogen 15 aufgebracht. Die an der Unterseite des Sicherheitselementes 8 aufgebrachte Siegelschicht 6 wird hierbei in an sich bekannter Weise erwärmt und verbindet das Sicherheitselement 8 mit dem Bogen 15. An der Unterseite des Stempels 10 ist eine Schneidkante 10' angeordnet, mit welcher das Sicherheitselement 8 sowie der entsprechende Bereich der Trägerfolie 7 ausgestanzt werden. Nach dem Ausstanzen ist im Band 9 entsprechend ein Durchbruch 11 vorhanden, wie dies in Figur 3 ganz rechts angedeutet ist. Wesentlich ist nun, dass nach dem Heissiegeln der ausgestanzte Bereich 7' der Trägerfolie auf dem ausgestanzten Sicherheitselement 8' verbleibt, wie dies ebenfalls in Figur 3 ganz rechts angedeutet ist. Der Bogen 15 ist so gross gewählt, dass mehrere solche Sicherheitselemente 8' im Abstand zueinander aufgebracht und mehrere Aufzeichnungsträger 1 aus dem Bogen 15 ausgestanzt werden können. Ist der Bogen 15 mit sämtlichen vorgesehenen Sicherheitselementen 8' versehen, so werden auf und unter diesem Bogen die weiteren vorgesehenen Bogen auflaminiert. Schliesslich werden aus den miteinander verbundenen Bögen die Aufzeichnungsträger 1 ausgestanzt. Der Bogen 15 bildet hierbei die Schichten 3 des ausgestanzten Aufzeichnungsträger 1.The einzulaminierenden security elements 8 are vapor-deposited on a band-shaped carrier sheet 7. The carrier film 7 forms with the vapor-deposited security elements 8, a band 9, which preferably forms a roll. To einzulaminieren the security elements 8, the tape 9 is pulled over a sheet 15. By means of a stamping die 10, the security elements 8 are punched out of the band 9 and applied to the sheet 15 under the action of heat. The applied on the underside of the security element 8 sealing layer 6 is hereby heated in a conventional manner and connects the security element 8 with the sheet 15. At the bottom of the punch 10, a cutting edge 10 'is arranged, with which the security element 8 and the corresponding area the carrier film 7 are punched out. After punching a breakthrough 11 is present in the band 9 accordingly, as in FIG. 3 indicated on the right. It is essential that, after heat-sealing, the stamped-out region 7 'of the carrier film remains on the punched-out security element 8', as likewise shown in FIG FIG. 3 indicated on the right. The sheet 15 is chosen so large that a plurality of such security elements 8 'applied at a distance to each other and a plurality of record carrier 1 can be punched out of the sheet 15. If the sheet 15 is provided with all provided security elements 8 ', the further intended sheets are laminated on and under this sheet. Finally, the recording media 1 are punched out of the interconnected sheets. The sheet 15 forms the layers 3 of the punched-out recording medium 1.
