Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a security element applicable to documents in general and particularly to bank notes, identification documents, and the like.
  • the fluorescent layer is intentionally covered by the additional layer without achieving a precise and preset registration between the fluorescent regions and the regions having magnetic or visibility characteristics.
  • WO-A-0 054 985 discloses a security element having, alternatively, fluorescent characteristics or magnetic characteristics.
  • FR-A-2 803 939 discloses a security element having a plurality of layers.
  • GB-A-2 243 578 discloses a security element formed by two distinct layers, a backing layer and a drawing layer.
  • EP-A-0 330 733 discloses a security element having two distinct layers, the upper layer having recesses wherein coloring and/or luminescent substances are deposited.
  • the aim of the present invention is to solve the problem noted above by providing a security element applicable to documents in general and particularly to bank notes, identification documents, and the like, which allows to have areas that are visible to the naked eye but contain other characteristics that can be rendered more evident and rendered detectable by using automatic or manual devices.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a security element applicable to documents in general and particularly to bank notes, identification documents, and the like, in which it is possible to combine various characteristics that are individually detectable.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a security element that thanks to its particular constructive characteristics is capable of giving the greatest assurances of reliability and safety in use.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a security element applicable to documents in general and particularly to bank notes, identification documents, and the like, that can be easily obtained starting from commonly commercially available elements and materials.
  • the security element applicable to documents in general and particularly to bank notes, identification documents, and the like, according to the invention is constituted by a sheet-like backing element, generally designated by the reference numeral 2, which can be constituted by a thread, a strip, a patch or the like and is typically obtained by means of a layer of polyester or similar material.
  • Regions are provided on at least one face of the sheet-like element 2 and can be constituted by characters, graphic markings, designs and so forth; such regions have the particularity of being constituted by areas that are perfectly in register with each other and have magnetic characteristics, naked-eye visibility characteristics, and fluorescent characteristics with the possibility of detection by means of an ultraviolet light.
  • the security element described above once completely embedded within a document, designated by the reference numeral 10 in the drawings, is substantially invisible in reflected light and is possibly visible in transmitted light, but most of all allows to make the regions visible when the document is struck by an ultraviolet light 15, i.e., with a light having a frequency of less than 400 nm.
  • the regions located at the windows designated by the reference numeral 20
  • the regions located at the windows remain always visible even to the naked eye, while the regions that are completely embedded are visible only when they are struck by an ultraviolet light.
  • Such ink can be applied by way of normal printing techniques or by transfer or by means of any other system normally used for printing on threads.
  • the regions 3 can provide any type of characteristic deemed appropriate, and the fluorescent colors may also be obtained with the most disparate colorings, such as yellow, red, blue; likewise, the magnetic properties can be of different kinds.
  • regions that represent the various characters can obviously be provided both as negative regions and as positive regions.
  • a security element is provided which, by combining in perfect register magnetic areas, areas with fluorescent characteristics and areas that are visible to the naked eye, allows to further augment the useful security criteria.
  • the materials used may be any according to requirements.
