Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a document security strip, comprising a support on which is formed in the longitudinal direction of the strip an alternation of generally metallized regions and generally transparent regions, said alternation being capable of establishing a contrast on a so-called global scale. at the level of the document to be secured so as to constitute protection against the reproduction of the documents with which the tape will be associated.
  • the invention also relates to security documents incorporating such a strip according to the invention.
  • These documents can for example be fiduciary documents such as bank notes, or official documents, etc.
  • FIG. 1 thus represents a strip 10 of generally known type.
  • This strip 10 comprises a continuous longitudinal support, on which generally metallized regions 11 are formed.
  • the strip may have a general multilayer structure.
  • These generally metallized regions are arranged so as to provide between them, in the longitudinal direction of the strip (denoted X), generally transparent regions 12.
  • regions 11 and 12 are carried out so as to produce, in the longitudinal direction of the strip, an alternation of generally metallized regions 11 and generally transparent regions 12.
  • the generally metallized regions 11 thus constitute generally discrete metallized elements.
  • These regions can for example be smooth, purely reflective metallized regions.
  • a strip of the known type of strip 10 constitutes a security sign which can be associated with a document.
  • Such an association can for example implement a transfer on the document of the entire strip, with its support.
  • Such a transfer may in particular be a hot transfer.
  • the support must be transparent (at least with respect to regions 12).
  • FIG 2 thus illustrates a document 20 such as a bank note, to which a strip of the type of that of the figure 1 was associated.
  • the generally metallized regions 11 of the strip are visible on the document, and constitute a sign of security.
  • the regions located between the generally metallized regions 11 once the strip associated with the note can be covered with a varnish producing a visible effect to the naked eye.
  • This varnish can correspond for example to a layer of the strip associated with the support of this strip.
  • each generally metallized region 11 forms a significant contrast with the generally transparent regions 12 which surround it in the longitudinal direction of the strip.
  • the document WO 97/19820 A1 describes a medium intended to be applied to a document.
  • the support includes raised structures partially covered with a reflective layer arranged to form the word "VALID".
  • the geometric parameters of the structures can vary locally to produce a diffractive optical effect.
  • the document US 2003/0058491 A1 describes a security device comprising a discontinuous metallic layer.
  • the metal layer is marked with a microstructure.
  • An aim of the invention is to make it possible to further improve the level of security associated with document security strips of the general type described above.
  • Another aim of the invention is to provide signs of authentication of security documents which effectively complement the provisions mentioned above regarding protection against reproduction of the document.
  • the invention proposes, according to a first aspect, a document security strip, according to claim 1.
  • the invention also proposes a security document incorporating a strip according to one of the aspects mentioned above.
  • FIG. 3 schematically represents a document security strip 30.
  • the strip can be associated with a document to be secured by transfer, by stamping or by another type of technique.
  • these additional elements are optically active elements 310.
  • optically active elements can be in the form of numbers or characters.
  • optically active elements can correspond to any desired predetermined graphics.
  • optically active elements 310 appear in the form of numbers (these numbers may for example correspond to the denomination of a bank note).
  • the optically active elements 310 are capable of producing in their combination with their background (in the case of the Figure 3 , the generally metallized regions 31) a determined optical effect.
  • This optical effect can correspond to a contrast.
  • This optical effect can also correspond to a visual effect depending on the angles of illumination and/or observation of the strip. This will particularly be the case when the optically active elements are made from diffracting and/or holographic patterns.
  • the generally transparent regions 32 which are interposed between the generally metallized regions 31 are preferably associated with a varnish producing a shiny effect visible to the naked eye.
  • the generally metallized regions 31 and the generally transparent regions 32 can generally have any desired geometry.
  • the geometry of the generally metallized regions of the strip will, however, generally have characteristics of sufficiently large size and compactness allowing them to effectively fulfill a function of protection against reproduction.
  • optically active elements 310 are therefore constituted inside the generally metallized regions 31.
  • These generally metallized regions 31 include purely reflective metallized regions.
  • the optically active element 310 has optical properties which are distinct from those of the generally metallized region 31, so as to produce an optical effect as mentioned above.
  • the optically active element 310 may have a homogeneous structure.
  • optically active elements 310 may include optically variable elements.
  • optically variable elements we mean elements whose optical properties can vary depending on the angle of illumination and/or observation. These may in particular be diffractive structures and/or holograms.
  • Optically variable elements are therefore optically active elements of a particular type.
  • optically active elements 310 can also be produced in the form of structures comprising several security elements as mentioned above.
  • the optically active elements thus produce an optical effect on a scale smaller than the “global” scale at which the contrast effect occurs between the generally metallized regions 31 and the generally transparent regions 32.
  • optically active elements 310 thus produce optical effects localized in band 30.
  • optically active elements 310 shown on the Figure 3 are large enough to be easily observed with the naked eye.
  • optically active elements with a sufficiently small dimension so that they cannot be immediately perceptible to the naked eye.
  • optically active elements 310 are associated in identification with the generally metallized regions 31 of the strip.
  • identification we mean the characteristic according to which the optically active patterns 310 are systematically located opposite the generally metallized regions.
  • optically active elements with generally transparent regions of the strip. And in this case again, this association can in particular be made by identification.
  • FIG. 3 thus represents a particular mode, in which the optically active elements 310 are associated with generally metallized regions.
  • these optically active elements may include a diffraction mat.
  • a “diffraction mat” as an area diffracting light at a single wavelength, in all directions in space. Such a diffraction mat thus appears to an observer as having the same appearance, whatever the angle of illumination and/or observation of the mat.
  • such optically active elements produced in the form of purely reflective metallized regions can be arranged, in the longitudinal direction of the strip, on either side of at least certain generally metallized regions of the strip.
  • said generally metallized regions of the band can in this case still be generally diffractive regions.
  • Regions 53 are in the variant illustrated on the figure 5a arranged immediately adjacent to the metallized region 51 on either side of which they are arranged.
  • the zones 53 which correspond to the optically active elements are arranged so as to provide, in the longitudinal direction of the strip, an interval between each purely reflective region 53 and the generally metallized region 51 with which it is associated.
  • the optically active elements 420 are associated with generally transparent regions 42 of the strip.
  • the strip also includes regions 41 that are generally metallized.
  • optically active elements 420 can therefore take various forms.
  • these optically active elements can also correspond to a metallized zone of a generally transparent region 42.
  • optically active elements can be produced in the form of purely reflective metallized zones.
  • optically active elements it is here again possible to provide for the optically active elements to be produced in the form of purely reflective zones arranged on either side of at least certain transparent regions of the strip.
  • such patterns can be printed covering the strip.
  • This printing can be carried out before associating the tape with the document to be secured, or after.
  • the invention thus makes it possible to increase the level of security associated with known bands as described with reference to the figures 1 and 2 , in particular by allowing the identification and authentication of the document with which the band is associated.
  • optically active elements in association with both generally metallized regions and generally transparent regions of the strip.
  • optically active elements that extend over both a generally metallized region and an adjacent generally transparent region, as long as said optically active element produces a desired optical effect.
