Definitions
- the invention relates to a security element for security papers, documents of value or identity cards, which is designed self-supporting and has two different optically variable security features. Furthermore, the invention relates to a security paper and a value document with such a security element.
- a document of value in which after its manufacture a continuous opening is punched, which is then closed on one side with a covering film projecting on all sides.
- the cover film is transparent at least in a partial area, so that when attempting to copy the document of value, the substrate shines through and reproduced by the copying machine accordingly.
- the cover sheet may have a security feature, such as a hologram.
- a security document which consists of a transparent plastic carrier, on the surfaces of which the opacity-increasing printing layers are applied.
- the security document has a security device which is unilaterally hidden by a plurality of the above-mentioned pressure layers. The layers on the other side of the carrier are applied so as to eliminate a half-window through which the security device is visible.
- the invention has for its object to propose a security element and a security paper and a document of value, which has an increased security against counterfeiting in comparison to the prior art.
- a security element according to the invention has two different security features, which are arranged on opposite sides of the security element and wherein the security features each have an opaque coating with breaks in the form of characters, patterns or logos and the respective opposite opaque coating in the area of the interruptions over the entire surface, so that when viewing the security element from one side only one of the security features is recognizable.
- optically variable security features can be, for example, reflection structures which can be observed in reflection, coarse lattice structures whose optically variable impression is based solely on their reflective properties, thin-film elements or optically variable imprints;
- Ink contains at least one optically variable pigment, such as liquid crystal pigments or interference layer pigments.
- the security element may have any combination of optically variable security features.
- the other security features which can be used according to the invention can be any desired printed images, semi-transparent or screened metal layers.
- any printing inks can be used which may also have machine-detectable properties, such as luminescent, magnetic or electrically conductive properties.
- the security element according to the invention can be used particularly advantageously in security papers or value documents which have a continuous opening.
- a value document according to the in the WO 95/10420 As described prior art, which has only one security feature in the region of the opening, there is only one side on which the security feature can be viewed correctly and completely. Viewed from the back, the security feature is either not recognized at all or only mirrored.
- the security element according to the invention is arranged in the region of the opening, a complete and laterally correct security feature can be recognized from both sides. This increases the protection against counterfeiting, since the opening, if it was produced by simple punching, can be generated just as easily by a counterfeiter.
- the double-sided security element is not easy to adjust. Especially not if there is a substantive relationship between the two security features or the security features represent different views of the same subject.
- the first optically variable security feature may represent the front view of a subject such as an eagle or the face portion of a portrait
- the second optically variable security feature represents the back of the eagle or the back of the portrait.
- the two security features are also preferably arranged congruently, so that a counterfeiter must overcome the additional problem of the register-containing arrangement.
- the security element according to the invention also offers particular advantages if the security features contain readable information, which is preferably identical in both security features and because of the double layering of the security element can always be read in the correct direction.
- a machine-testable layer can be arranged between the security features.
- This can be at least one IR-absorbing, electrically conductive or magnetic layer.
- Several such layers can also be arranged between the security features.
- these intermediate layers do not have to be full-surface, but may be designed in the form of codes or other information.
- the security element consists of a plastic film, which is provided on both sides with at least one opaque coating.
- Each of these opaque coatings has discontinuities, preferably in the form of characters, patterns or logos. These interruptions are arranged offset from one another here. That is, in the region in which the one opaque coating has breaks, the opposite opaque coating is made over the entire surface. In this way, it is ensured that the security element on each page has only one side-by-side recognizable information.
- the opaque coatings are preferably metal layers, but also other coatings, such as color layers can be used. Combinations are also possible in which the first security feature consists of a metal layer of any desired color and the second consists of an opaque ink layer or an optically variable printing layer or a thin-layer coating. It is also possible to use layers or printing inks that show different colors when viewed from above and in the background.
- the metals used here may additionally have different colors and / or be made translucent. If at least one of the layers is translucent, the interruptions in the opposite layer can also be detected in transmitted light. The translucency can be generated via the layer thickness or the use of grids. These possible embodiments of the metal layer can also be used in all other embodiments described below, in which metal layers are addressed. In the used For example, metals include aluminum, iron, copper, gold, nickel. The term "metal" in the context of the invention, any alloys understood.
- the interruptions can be generated by any desired methods, such as laser radiation, etching or washing.
- interruptions and their arrangement can of course be transferred to all other security features that have a metal layer or other vapor-deposited layers, such.
- the security element may also have only on one side a coating with the recesses described above, while on the other side a semitransparent metal layer is arranged.
- the security element has two plastic layers, are embossed into the diffraction structures. At least one of these plastic layers is provided with a metal layer, so that the diffraction structures are observable in reflection.
- the second plastic layer may also be provided with a metal layer or a high refractive index dielectric layer. If the second plastic layer is also provided with a metal layer, then it may have a different intrinsic color than that of the first metal layer.
- the security element according to the invention is introduced in so-called “swinging" window security papers.
- the "window areas" where the security threads on the security paper surface are directly accessible and thus verifiable, are provided alternately on the front and back of the paper.
- the security element according to the invention can also be used to remedy this problem, even if the security paper has window areas on one side.
- the security element can be used not only to secure security papers or documents of value, but also to secure counterfeit goods of any kind.
- the security element may have any outline contours and, for example, round, oval, rectangular, trapezoidal, star-shaped or strip-shaped.
- a strip-shaped security element is arranged in the region of an opening in a value document or security paper, then one of the security features can be recognized over the entire length of the strip, while the second is visible only in the region of the opening.
- the security feature is produced, for example, on a self-supporting support element, such as a transparent plastic film, which is subsequently used as label material.
- a self-supporting support element such as a transparent plastic film
- the carrier material is preferably subsequently removed again.
- the individual security features can also be prepared on separate carriers, which are then laminated or bonded together via an adhesive layer.
- Fig.1 shows an inventive document of value in supervision.
- it is a banknote 1.
- This banknote 1 has a through opening 2, which, however, is hidden by the security element 3.
- Fig. 2 shows the banknote 1 in cross section along the line A - A.
- the opening 2 can be clearly seen.
- the edges 4 of the opening 2 are shown smooth, as they arise when punching or cutting the banknote 1.
- the edges 4 are irregular and fibrous. This fibrous edge 4 represents an additional authenticity feature, since this edge can not be subsequently created in the paper.
- the opening 2 is closed by a security element 3 according to the invention on one side.
- the security element 3 is arranged in a recess 5 of the banknote which surrounds the opening 2.
- the banknote 1 receives a continuous stepless surface, which facilitates the handling, in particular the stacking of the banknotes.
- the security element 3 when viewed from the direction B shows a different appearance than when viewed from the direction C.
- the two appearances of the security element 3 are in a recognizable relationship to each other.
- the same page-correct information can be displayed on both sides, which is helpful in particular with text information, since in this case the text can be read from both sides in the correct direction.
- the security element 3 can also represent different views of a motif.
- the direction B is the front view of an eagle
- the sighting C can be seen the back of the eagle.
- the two representations are preferably arranged in register with each other.
- parts of a total information that complement each other can be arranged on both sides.
- a symmetrical information is selected here, which is also perceived in the correct direction from both sides.
- the different manifestations of the security element 3 arise through the combination of two different security features, which are arranged in the security element 3 so that only one of these security features is visible to the viewer depending on the viewing direction.
- Fig. 3 shows an embodiment of a non-inventive security element 3. It is composed of two different security features 6, 7, which in the present case each consist of a diffraction-optical element.
- the security feature 6 has two plastic layers 8, 9, between which the diffraction structure is arranged in the form of a relief structure 15. Between the plastic layers 8, 9, a metal layer 12 is additionally arranged, which ensures that the information stored in the diffraction structures information is visible in reflection.
- This metal layer may include breaks 16, which may be in the form of patterns, letters or other alphanumeric characters.
- the security feature 7 is constructed analogously and is composed of the two plastic layers 10, 11, between which the diffraction structures 17 and the metal layer 13 are arranged. This metal layer 13 may also have interruptions 18 in the form of random patterns and alphanumeric characters.
- a middle layer 23 is preferably provided, the z. B. white or black, opaque, is in contrast to the metal layer and a show through the mirror-inverted characters prevents the back.
- the interruptions can also be provided congruent.
- the two security features 6, 7 can either be connected to one another via an adhesive layer or laminated together without an adhesive layer.
- the security element 3 is finally connected to the banknote 1 via the adhesive layers 14.
- the plastic layers 9, 11 serve primarily as protective layers and are optional. They are especially not needed if the whole Layer structure is prepared on a carrier film for a transfer material.
- the plastic film 8 is coated on the carrier film, which may optionally be pretreated with regard to its desired release properties.
- the diffraction structure 15 is embossed into this plastic layer 8 and the embossed relief structure 15 is preferably coated with the metal layer 12 in a vacuum vapor method.
- the plastic layer 10 is applied to the metal layer 12 and this also embossed.
- the metal layer 13 is applied, preferably vapor-deposited. On this metal layer 13, we applied the adhesive layer for transfer to the final substrate. If the metal layers 12,13 have interruptions, additional steps are necessary, resulting from the particular method used for this purpose, such as laser ablation, etching or washing process.
- the relief structure 15 is designed, for example, so that when viewed from the direction B, the front of an eagle is visible, which changes its color when tilting the banknote 1.
- the diffraction structure 17 creates the visual impression of the back of an eagle, which also changes its color when the banknote 1 is tilted.
- the diffraction structure itself can also convey readable information which can be read on both sides in the correct direction.
- Fig. 4 shows a variant of in Fig. 3 shown security elements 3, wherein the security features 6, 7 are connected to each other via an adhesive layer 19 and the metal layers 12,13 have no recesses 16,18.

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Sicherheitselement für Sicherheitspapiere, Wertdokumente oder Ausweiskarten, das selbsttragend ausgestaltet ist und zwei unterschiedliche optisch variable Sicherheitsmerkmale aufweist. Ferner betrifft die Erfindung ein Sicherheitspapier sowie ein Wertdokument mit einem derartigen Sicherheitselement.The invention relates to a security element for security papers, documents of value or identity cards, which is designed self-supporting and has two different optically variable security features. Furthermore, the invention relates to a security paper and a value document with such a security element.
In der
Aus
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Sicherheitselement sowie ein Sicherheitspapier und ein Wertdokument vorzuschlagen, das im Vergleich zum Stand der Technik eine erhöhte Fälschungssicherheit aufweist.The invention has for its object to propose a security element and a security paper and a document of value, which has an increased security against counterfeiting in comparison to the prior art.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale der unabhängigen Ansprüche gelöst. Weiterbildungen sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.This object is solved by the features of the independent claims. Further developments are the subject of the dependent claims.
Ein erfindungsgemäßes Sicherheitselement weist zwei unterschiedliche Sicherheitsmerkmale auf, die auf gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Sicherheitselements angeordnet sind und wobei die Sicherheitsmerkmale jeweils eine opake Beschichtung mit Unterbrechungen in Form von Zeichen, Mustern oder Logos aufweisen und die jeweils gegenüberliegende opake Beschichtung im Bereich der Unterbrechungen vollflächig ist, so dass bei Betrachtung des Sicherheitselements von einer Seite jeweils nur eines der Sicherheitsmerkmale erkennbar ist.A security element according to the invention has two different security features, which are arranged on opposite sides of the security element and wherein the security features each have an opaque coating with breaks in the form of characters, patterns or logos and the respective opposite opaque coating in the area of the interruptions over the entire surface, so that when viewing the security element from one side only one of the security features is recognizable.
Bei den optisch variablen Sicherheitsmerkmalen kann es sich beispielsweise um in Reflexion beobachtbare Beugungsstrukturen, grobe Gitterstrukturen, deren optisch variabler Eindruck allein auf ihren reflektiven Eigenschaften beruht, Dünnschichtelemente oder optisch variable Aufdrucke handeln, wobei die verwendete Druckfarbe wenigstens ein optisch variables Pigment, wie Flüssigkristallpigmente oder Interferenzschichtpigmente, enthält. Das Sicherheitselement kann beliebige Kombinationen von optisch variablen Sicherheitsmerkmalen aufweisen.The optically variable security features can be, for example, reflection structures which can be observed in reflection, coarse lattice structures whose optically variable impression is based solely on their reflective properties, thin-film elements or optically variable imprints; Ink contains at least one optically variable pigment, such as liquid crystal pigments or interference layer pigments. The security element may have any combination of optically variable security features.
Bei den übrigen erfindungsgemäß verwendbaren Sicherheitsmerkmalen kann es sich um beliebige Druckbilder, semitransparente oder gerasterte Metallschichten handeln. Für die Druckbilder können beliebige Druckfarben verwendet werden, die auch maschinell nachweisbare Eigenschaften, wie lumineszierende, magnetische oder elektrisch leitende Eigenschaften haben können.The other security features which can be used according to the invention can be any desired printed images, semi-transparent or screened metal layers. For the print images, any printing inks can be used which may also have machine-detectable properties, such as luminescent, magnetic or electrically conductive properties.
Im Sinne der Erfindung liegen auch unterschiedliche Sicherheitsmerkmale vor, wenn sie eine lesbare Information enthalten und diese Information auf beiden Seiten des Sicherheitselements seitenrichtig gelesen werden kann.Within the meaning of the invention, there are also different security features if they contain readable information and this information can be read in the correct direction on both sides of the security element.
Besonders vorteilhaft lässt sich das erfindungsgemäße Sicherheitselement bei Sicherheitspapieren bzw. Wertdokumenten einsetzen, die eine durchgehende Öffnung aufweisen. Bei einem Wertdokument gemäß dem in der
So kann das erste optisch variable Sicherheitsmerkmal beispielsweise die Vorderansicht eines Motivs, wie eines Adlers oder die Gesichtspartie eines Portraits, darstellen, während das zweite optisch variable Sicherheitsmerkmal die Rückseite des Adlers oder den Hinterkopf des Portraits zeigt. Die beiden Sicherheitsmerkmale sind zudem vorzugsweise deckungsgleich angeordnet, so dass ein Fälscher das zusätzliche Problem der registerhaltigen Anordnung überwinden muss. Besondere Vorteile bietet das erfindungsgemäße Sicherheitselement zudem, wenn die Sicherheitsmerkmale eine lesbare Information enthalten, die vorzugsweise in beiden Sicherheitsmerkmalen identisch ist und aufgrund der Doppellagigkeit des Sicherheitselements grundsätzlich seitenrichtig gelesen werden kann.For example, the first optically variable security feature may represent the front view of a subject such as an eagle or the face portion of a portrait, while the second optically variable security feature represents the back of the eagle or the back of the portrait. The two security features are also preferably arranged congruently, so that a counterfeiter must overcome the additional problem of the register-containing arrangement. The security element according to the invention also offers particular advantages if the security features contain readable information, which is preferably identical in both security features and because of the double layering of the security element can always be read in the correct direction.
Zwischen den Sicherheitsmerkmalen kann zudem eine maschinell prüfbare Schicht angeordnet werden. Hierbei kann es sich um wenigstens eine IR-absorbierende, elektrisch leitfähige oder magnetische Schichthandeln. Auch mehrere derartige Schichten können zwischen den Sicherheitsmerkmalen angeordnet werden. Zudem müssen diese Zwischenschichten nicht vollflächig sein, sondern können in Form von Codierungen oder anderen Informationen ausgestaltet sein. In bestimmten Fällen kann es auch sinnvoll sein, zwischen den Sicherheitsmerkmalen eine vollflächige Farbschicht, vorzugsweise schwarze Farbschicht, anzuordnen, so dass von jeder Seite des Sicherheitselements jeweils nur bestimmte Sicherheitsmerkmale sichtbar sind.In addition, a machine-testable layer can be arranged between the security features. This can be at least one IR-absorbing, electrically conductive or magnetic layer. Several such layers can also be arranged between the security features. In addition, these intermediate layers do not have to be full-surface, but may be designed in the form of codes or other information. In certain cases, it may also be useful to arrange a full-surface color layer, preferably a black color layer, between the security features so that only certain security features are visible from each side of the security element.
Gemäß einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung besteht das Sicherheitselement aus einer Kunststofffolie, die beidseitig mit wenigstens einer opaken Beschichtung versehen ist. Jede dieser opaken Beschichtungen weist Unterbrechungen, vorzugsweise in Form von Zeichen, Muster oder Logos auf. Diese Unterbrechungen sind hierbei versetzt zueinander angeordnet. Das heißt, in dem Bereich, in welchem die eine opake Beschichtung Unterbrechungen aufweist, ist die gegenüberliegende opake Beschichtung vollflächig ausgeführt. Auf diese Weise wird gewährleistet, das Sicherheitselement auf jeder Seite jeweils nur eine seitenrichtig erkennbare Information aufweist. Bei den opaken Beschichtungen handelt es sich vorzugsweise um Metallschichten, aber auch andere Beschichtungen, wie Farbschichten können verwendet werden. Auch Kombinationen sind möglich, bei welchen das erste Sicherheitsmerkmal aus einer Metallschicht beliebiger Farbe und das zweite aus einer opaken Farbschicht oder einer optisch variablen Druckschicht oder einer Dünnschichtbeschichtung besteht. Es können auch Schichten oder Druckfarben verwendet werden, die in Aufsicht und in Durchsicht unterschiedliche Farben zeigen.According to one embodiment of the invention, the security element consists of a plastic film, which is provided on both sides with at least one opaque coating. Each of these opaque coatings has discontinuities, preferably in the form of characters, patterns or logos. These interruptions are arranged offset from one another here. That is, in the region in which the one opaque coating has breaks, the opposite opaque coating is made over the entire surface. In this way, it is ensured that the security element on each page has only one side-by-side recognizable information. The opaque coatings are preferably metal layers, but also other coatings, such as color layers can be used. Combinations are also possible in which the first security feature consists of a metal layer of any desired color and the second consists of an opaque ink layer or an optically variable printing layer or a thin-layer coating. It is also possible to use layers or printing inks that show different colors when viewed from above and in the background.
Die verwendeten Metalle können hierbei zusätzlich unterschiedliche Farben aufweisen und/ oder transluzent ausgeführt sein. Falls mindestens eine der Schichten transluzent ausgeführt ist, können im Durchlicht auch die Unterbrechungen in der gegenüberliegenden Schicht erkannt werden. Die Transluzenz kann dabei über die Schichtdicke oder die Verwendung von Rastern erzeugt werden. Diese möglichen Ausgestaltungsformen der Metallschicht können auch in allen anderen im Folgenden beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispielen verwendet werden, in denen Metallschichten angesprochen werden. Bei den verwendeten Metallen handelt es sich beispielsweise um Aluminium, Eisen, Kupfer, Gold, Nikkel. Unter dem Begriff "Metall" werden im Rahmen der Erfindung auch beliebige Legierungen verstanden.The metals used here may additionally have different colors and / or be made translucent. If at least one of the layers is translucent, the interruptions in the opposite layer can also be detected in transmitted light. The translucency can be generated via the layer thickness or the use of grids. These possible embodiments of the metal layer can also be used in all other embodiments described below, in which metal layers are addressed. In the used For example, metals include aluminum, iron, copper, gold, nickel. The term "metal" in the context of the invention, any alloys understood.
Die Unterbrechungen können mit beliebigen Verfahren, wie beispielsweise Abtrag durch Laserstrahlung, Ätzverfahren oder Waschverfahren, erzeugt werden.The interruptions can be generated by any desired methods, such as laser radiation, etching or washing.
Das Vorsehen derartiger Unterbrechungen sowie deren Anordnung kann selbstverständlich auch auf alle anderen Sicherheitsmerkmale übertragen werden, die eine Metallschicht oder andere aufgedampfte Schichten aufweisen, wie z. B. Beugungsstrukturen oder Dünnschichtelemente. Werden für die Erzeugung der Sicherheitsmerkmale Druckfarben verwendet, so können auch hier im Negativdruck derartige Aussparungen erzeugt werden.The provision of such interruptions and their arrangement can of course be transferred to all other security features that have a metal layer or other vapor-deposited layers, such. B. diffraction structures or thin-film elements. If printing inks are used for the production of the security features, then such recesses can also be produced here in the negative pressure.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform kann das Sicherheitselement auch lediglich auf einer Seite eine Beschichtung mit den oben beschriebenen Aussparungen aufweisen, während auf der anderen Seite eine semitransparente Metallschicht angeordnet ist.According to a further embodiment, the security element may also have only on one side a coating with the recesses described above, while on the other side a semitransparent metal layer is arranged.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform weist das Sicherheitselement zwei Kunststoffschichten auf, in die Beugungsstrukturen eingeprägt sind. Wenigstens eine dieser Kunststoffschichten ist mit einer Metallschicht versehen, so dass die Beugungsstrukturen in Reflexion beobachtbar sind. Die zweite Kunststoffschicht kann ebenfalls mit einer Metallschicht oder einer dielektrischen Schicht mit hohem Brechungsindex versehen sein. Ist auch die zweite Kunststoffschicht mit einer Metallschicht versehen, so kann diese eine andere Eigenfarbe aufweisen als die der ersten Metallschicht.According to a further embodiment, the security element has two plastic layers, are embossed into the diffraction structures. At least one of these plastic layers is provided with a metal layer, so that the diffraction structures are observable in reflection. The second plastic layer may also be provided with a metal layer or a high refractive index dielectric layer. If the second plastic layer is also provided with a metal layer, then it may have a different intrinsic color than that of the first metal layer.
Ebenso ist es möglich, das erfindungsgemäße Sicherheitselement als Sicherheitsfaden zu verwenden, der z. B. in so genannten "pendelnden" Fenster-Sicherheitspapieren eingebracht ist. Bei diesen Sicherheitspapieren sind die "Fensterbereiche", bei denen die Sicherheitsfäden an der Sicherheitspapier-Oberfläche direkt zugänglich und somit überprüfbar sind, abwechselnd auf Vor- und Rückseite des Papiers vorgesehen.It is also possible to use the security element according to the invention as a security thread, the z. B. is introduced in so-called "swinging" window security papers. With these security papers, the "window areas", where the security threads on the security paper surface are directly accessible and thus verifiable, are provided alternately on the front and back of the paper.
Bekanntermaßen ist bei der Papierherstellung nicht immer sicherzustellen, dass die Sicherheitsfäden seitenrichtig in das Papier eingebettet werden. Damit ein verdrehter und damit seitenverkehrt eingebrachter Sicherheitsfaden trotzdem lesbar ist, werden Schriftzeichen und Texte deshalb in der Regel abwechselnd seitenrichtig und seitenverkehrt vorgesehen. Auf diese Weise ist unabhängig von der Lage des Sicherheitsfadens immer ein Teil lesbar.As is known, in papermaking it is not always ensured that the security threads are embedded in the paper in the correct direction. Thus, a twisted and thus reversed introduced security thread is still readable, therefore, characters and texts are therefore usually provided alternately true to the page and reversed. In this way, regardless of the location of the security thread is always a part readable.
Zur Behebung dieses Problems kann das erfindungsgemäße Sicherheitselement selbstverständlich auch eingesetzt werden, selbst wenn das Sicherheitspapier auf einer Seite Fensterbereiche aufweist.Of course, the security element according to the invention can also be used to remedy this problem, even if the security paper has window areas on one side.
Das Sicherheitselement kann ferner nicht nur zur Absicherung von Sicherheitspapieren oder Wertdokumenten verwendet werden, sondern auch zur Fälschungssicherung beliebiger Waren. Analoges gilt für das mit einem erfindungsgemäßen Sicherheitselement versehene Sicherheitspapier und/oder Wertdokument.Furthermore, the security element can be used not only to secure security papers or documents of value, but also to secure counterfeit goods of any kind. The same applies to the security paper provided with a security element according to the invention and / or value document.
Das Sicherheitselement kann beliebige Umrisskonturen aufweisen und beispielsweise rund, oval, rechteckig, trapezförmig, sternförmig oder auch streifenförmig ausgebildet sein.The security element may have any outline contours and, for example, round, oval, rectangular, trapezoidal, star-shaped or strip-shaped.
Wird ein streifenförmiges Sicherheitselement im Bereich einer Öffnung in einem Wertdokument oder Sicherheitspapier angeordnet, so ist eines der Sicherheitsmerkmale über die gesamte Länge des Streifens zu erkennen, während das zweite nur im Bereich der Öffnung sichtbar ist.If a strip-shaped security element is arranged in the region of an opening in a value document or security paper, then one of the security features can be recognized over the entire length of the strip, while the second is visible only in the region of the opening.
Die Herstellung des Sicherheitsmerkmals erfolgt beispielsweise auf einem selbsttragenden Trägerelement, wie einer transparenten Kunstofffolie, die anschließend als Etikettenmaterial verwendet wird. Gerade bei der Verwendung von Beugungsstrukturen als Sicherheitsmerkmale bietet sich jedoch alternativ die Herstellung einer Heißprägefolie an, bei der der komplette Schichtaufbau des Sicherheitselements auf einem Trägermaterial vorbereitet und anschließend unter der Einwirkung von Druck und Wärme zumindest bereichsweise auf das Wertdokument bzw. Sicherheitspapier übertragen wird. Das Trägermaterial wird vorzugsweise anschließend wieder abgezogen.The security feature is produced, for example, on a self-supporting support element, such as a transparent plastic film, which is subsequently used as label material. However, especially when using diffraction structures as security features, it is alternatively possible to produce a hot stamping foil in which the complete layer structure of the security element is prepared on a carrier material and then transferred at least in places to the value document or security paper under the action of pressure and heat. The carrier material is preferably subsequently removed again.
Die einzelnen Sicherheitsmerkmale können auch auf separaten Trägern vorbereitet werden, die anschließend laminiert oder über eine Klebstoffschicht miteinander verbunden werden.The individual security features can also be prepared on separate carriers, which are then laminated or bonded together via an adhesive layer.

Die Öffnung 2 wird durch ein erfindungsgemäßes Sicherheitselement 3 einseitig verschlossen. Im gezeigten Beispiel, ist das Sicherheitselement 3 in einer Vertiefung 5 der Banknote angeordnet, welche die Öffnung 2 umgibt. Auf diese Weise erhält die Banknote 1 eine durchgehende stufenlose Oberfläche, was die Handhabung, insbesondere die Stapelung der Banknoten, erleichtert.The
Gemäß der Erfindung zeigt das Sicherheitselement 3 bei Betrachtung aus der Richtung B ein anderes Erscheinungsbild als bei Betrachtung aus der Richtung C. Im einfachsten Fall zeigt das Sicherheitselement 3 auf beiden Seiten unterschiedliche Bildmotive, Texte, alphanumerische Zeichen, Muster oder Kombinationen dieser Elemente.According to the invention, the
Um das Nachahmen derartiger Sicherheitselemente 3 jedoch zu erschweren, stehen die beiden Erscheinungsbilder des Sicherheitselements 3 in einer erkennbaren Beziehung zueinander. So kann beispielsweise auf beiden Seiten die gleiche seitenrichtige Information dargestellt sein, was insbesondere bei Textinformationen hilfreich ist, da in diesem Fall der Text von beiden Seiten seitenrichtig gelesen werden kann. Insofern liegt auch ein unterschiedliches Erscheinungsbild vor, wenn auf beiden Seiten die gleiche Information, allerdings jeweils seitenrichtig, zu erkennen ist.However, to complicate the imitation of
Alternativ kann das Sicherheitselement 3 auch unterschiedliche Ansichten eines Motivs darstellen. Ist beispielsweise aus der Richtung B die Vorderansicht eines Adlers zu erkennen, so ist der Sichtung C die Rückseite des Adlers zu erkennen. Die beiden Darstellungen sind dabei vorzugsweise registerhaltig zueinander angeordnet. Ebenso können auf beiden Seiten registerhalten Teile einer Gesamtinformation angeordnet sein, die sich ergänzen. Vorzugsweise wird hier eine symmetrische Information gewählt, die ebenfalls von beiden Seiten seitenrichtig wahrgenommen wird.Alternatively, the
Die unterschiedlichen Erscheinungsformen des Sicherheitselements 3 entstehen durch die Kombination zweier unterschiedlicher Sicherheitsmerkmale, die im Sicherheitselement 3 so angeordnet sind, dass für den Betrachter jeweils nur eines dieser Sicherheitsmerkmale je nach Betrachtungsrichtung sichtbar ist.The different manifestations of the
Sind in den Metallschichten 12,13 Unterbrechungen 16,18 vorgesehen, wird vorzugsweise eine Mittelschicht 23 vorgesehen, die z. B. weiß oder schwarz, opak ausgeführt ist, im Kontrast zur Metallschicht steht und ein Durchscheinen der spiegelverkehrten Schriftzeichen der Rückseite verhindert. Die Unterbrechungen können aber auch deckungsgleich vorgesehen werden.Are in the metal layers 12,13
Die beiden Sicherheitsmerkmale 6, 7 können entweder über eine Klebstoffschicht miteinander verbunden oder aber ohne Klebstoffschicht miteinander laminiert werden. Das Sicherheitselement 3 wird schließlich über die Klebstoffschichten 14 mit der Banknote 1 verbunden.The two
Die Kunststoffschichten 9, 11 dienen in erster Linie als Schutzschichten und sind optional. Sie werden insbesondere dann nicht benötigt, wenn der gesamte Schichtaufbau auf einer Trägerfolie für ein Transfermaterial vorbereitet wird. In diesem Fall wird auf die Trägerfolie, die hinsichtlich ihrer gewünschten Release-Eigenschaften gegebenenfalls vorbehandelt werden kann, mit der Kunststoffschicht 8 beschichtet. In diese Kunststoffschicht 8 wird die Beugungsstruktur 15 eingeprägt und die geprägte Reliefstruktur 15 vorzugsweise im Vakuumdampfverfahren mit der Metallschicht 12 beschichtet. Anschließend wird auf die Metallschicht 12 die Kunststoffschicht 10 aufgetragen und diese ebenfalls geprägt. Auf diese mit den Beugungsstrukturen 17 versehene Kunststoffschicht 10 wird die Metallschicht 13 aufgebracht, vorzugsweise aufgedampft. Auf diese Metallschicht 13 wir die Klebstoffschicht für den Übertrag auf das Endsubstrat aufgetragen. Sofern die Metallschichten 12,13 Unterbrechungen aufweisen, sind zusätzliche Schritte notwendig, die sich aus dem jeweiligen hierfür verwendeten Verfahren, wie Laserabtrag, Ätzen oder Waschverfahren, ergeben.The plastic layers 9, 11 serve primarily as protective layers and are optional. They are especially not needed if the whole Layer structure is prepared on a carrier film for a transfer material. In this case, the
Die Reliefstruktur 15 ist beispielsweise so ausgelegt, dass bei Betrachtung aus der Richtung B die Vorderseite eines Adlers sichtbar wird, der beim Kippen der Banknote 1 seine Farbe wechselt. Die Beugungsstruktur 17 dagegen erzeugt den visuellen Eindruck der Rückseite eines Adlers, die ebenfalls beim Kippen der Banknote 1 ihre Farbe verändert. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann die Beugungsstruktur selbst auch eine lesbare Information vermitteln, die auf beiden Seiten seitenrichtig lesbar ist.The
Je nachdem welche Klebstoffeigenschaften bzw. welches Laminierverhalten die Schicht 23 aufweist, kann auf diese Klebstoffschicht 19 auch verzichtet werden.Depending on which adhesive properties or which laminating behavior the
Statt der schwarzen Farbschicht 23 kann auch eine dunkle Magnetschicht verwendet werden, die den gleichen optischen Effekt erzeugt und zusätzlich für eine maschinelle Lesbarkeit des Sicherheitselements 3 sorgt. Die Magnetschicht kann auch zusätzlich zu der Farbschicht vorgesehen sein, um ein Ausspähen der Magnetschicht im Durchlicht zu verhindern.Instead of the
Bei der in
Die mit dem Dünnschichtaufbau 22 dargestellte Information kann dabei der mit den Beugungsstrukturen 15 dargestellten Information entsprechen, diese ergänzen oder, wie bereits erwähnt, eine andere Ansicht des gleichen Motivs darstellen.The information represented by the thin-
Anstelle des Dünnschichtaufbaus können auch andere Effektschichten oder Effektpigmente enthaltende Druckfarben verwendet werden. Bei diesen Effektschichten bzw. Effektpigmenten kann es sich beispielsweise um lumineszierende oder absorbierende, insbesondere IR-absorbierende Stoffe, oder auch Flüssigkristallpigmente handeln. Auch ein einfacher Aufdruck ist denkbar.Instead of the thin-film structure, it is also possible to use other printing inks comprising effect layers or effect pigments. These effect layers or effect pigments may be, for example, luminescent or absorbing substances, in particular IR-absorbing substances, or else liquid-crystal pigments. Even a simple imprint is conceivable.

Wenn nur jeweils einer der Aufdrucke 25, 26 sichtbar sein soll, wird ein opaker Träger 24 verwendet. Vorzugsweise ist dieser Träger 24 eine Kunststofffolie, die vorzugsweise dunkel eingefärbt ist.If only one of the
In den gezeigten Beispielen ist jeweils die Klebstoffschicht 14 eingezeichnet, mit welcher das Sicherheitselement 3 an der Banknote 1 befestigt wird. Diese Klebstoffschicht 14 ist jedoch optional. Stattdessen kann die Klebstoffschicht auch auf das Dokument selbst aufgebracht oder eine andere Art der Befestigung gewählt werden.In the examples shown, in each case the
Im einfachsten Fall werden die Kunststoffschichten 36, 37 mit der gleichen Beugungsstruktur versehen und die Sicherheitsmerkmale 6, 7 unterscheiden sich lediglich hinsichtlich der Farbe der Metallschichten 35, 38. Die unterschiedliche Farbe der Metallschichten 35, 38 kann entweder durch die Verwendung spezieller Metalle mit unterschiedlichen Eigenfarben erzeugt werden. So kann die Metallschicht 35 beispielsweise aus einer silbrigen Aluminiumschicht und die Metallschicht 38 aus einer Kupferschicht bestehen. Ein anderer Farbeindruck der Metallschicht kann jedoch auch mit Hilfe der Schutzschicht 34, 39 erzeugt werden. In diesem Fall werden für die Metallschichten 35, 38 die gleichen Materialien verwendet und die Schutzschichten 34, 39 mit entsprechenden transluzenten unterschiedlichen Farben eingefärbt. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann für die Sicherheitsmerkmale 6, 7 auch eine unterschiedliche Beugungsstruktur gewählt werdenIn the simplest case, the plastic layers 36, 37 are provided with the same diffraction structure and the security features 6, 7 differ only with respect to the color of the metal layers 35, 38. The different color of the metal layers 35, 38 can either by the use of special metals with different intrinsic colors be generated. For example, the
Alternativ kann auch ein mehrschichtiger Aufbau verwendet werden, der beispielsweise eine Beugungsstruktur analog zum Sicherheitsmerkmal 6 aufweist. Allerdings muss in diesem Fall statt der Metallschicht 35 eine dielektrische transparente Schicht verwendet werden, die einerseits den Aufdruck 40 erkennen lässt und andererseits die Beugungsstrukturen in Reflexion sichtbar macht. Auch bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel kann es sinnvoll sein, die Trägerfolie 33 einzufärben, um die Sicherheitsmerkmale 6, 7 visuell voneinander zu trennen. Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform, die in

Werden für die opake Beschichtung 43, 45 Metallschichten verwendet, so können diese selbstverständlich mit Beugungsstrukturen, wie bereits erläutert, kombiniert werden.If metal layers are used for the
In allen Ausführungsformen, in welchen Beugungsstrukturen als Sicherheitsmerkmal verwendet werden, können diese auch als transparente Beugungselemente ausgeführt werden, indem die Metallschicht durch eine dielektrische Schicht mit entsprechenden Brechungsindex ersetzt wird. Unter Umständen kann es sich bei dieser dielektrischen Schicht auch um eine entsprechende Kleberschicht handeln, die als Verbindungselement zu einem weiteren Sicherheitsmerkmal oder dem Endsubstrat dient.In all embodiments in which diffraction structures are used as a security feature, they can also be embodied as transparent diffraction elements by replacing the metal layer with a dielectric layer having a corresponding refractive index. Under certain circumstances, this dielectric layer may also be a corresponding adhesive layer which serves as a connecting element to a further security feature or the final substrate.
Sofern die Sicherheitsmerkmale Metallschichten aufweisen, können diese auch semitransparent oder in Form einer gerasterten Metallschicht ausgeführt werden.If the security features have metal layers, they can also be made semitransparent or in the form of a screened metal layer.

Alternativ kann das Sicherheitselement 3 auch in Form eines Streifens, der sich über die gesamte Breite oder Länge des Wertdokuments erstreckt, ausgeführt sein. Diese Ausführungsform ist besonders sinnvoll, wenn für die Herstellung des Wertdokuments ein Sicherheitspapier verwendet wird und das Sicherheitselement 3 bereits auf das Sicherheitspapier in kontinuierlicher Form aufgebracht werden soll.Alternatively, the
Das Sicherheitsmerkmal kann auch als Sicherheitsfaden ausgeführt sein, der in das Sicherheitspapier eingebettet wird. Vorzugsweise weist das Sicherheitspapier in diesem Fall auf beiden Seiten Öffnungen, so genannte Fenster auf.The security feature may also be implemented as a security thread that is embedded in the security paper. In this case, the security paper preferably has openings on both sides, so-called windows.
