Abstract

The invention relates to a security feature which can be applied to a security document, wherein the security element consists of a line grid and fine structures which are compatible with the line grid or fine structures on the security document, and which is activated by register- precise and precisely adapted application to said security document so that the hidden information can be visually recognized. The invention also relates to security documents provided with said security features.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein passives Sicherheitsmerkmal zur Applikation auf Wertdokumenten, wie Banknoten, Ausweispapieren und dergleichen, das erst nach der Applikation aktiviert wird.The invention relates to a passive security feature for application to value documents, such as banknotes, identity documents and the like, which is activated only after the application.

Wertdokumente, wie Banknoten, Ausweispapiere und dergleichen werden zum Schutz gegen Nachahmung und Fälschung mit Sicherheitsmerkmalen, die unterschiedliche funktionelle Merkmale aufweisen, versehen. So werden beispielsweise Hologrammstreifen oder -patches, Sicherheitselemente mit leitfähigen und/oder magnetischen Eigenschaften, mit optischen Eigenschaften (Farbkippeffekt, Lumineszenzeigenschaften) und dergleichen auf das Wertdokument aufgebracht.Security documents, such as banknotes, identification papers and the like, are provided with security features that have different functional features in order to protect against counterfeiting and counterfeiting. Thus, for example, hologram strips or patches, security elements with conductive and / or magnetic properties, with optical properties (color shift effect, luminescence properties) and the like are applied to the value document.

Diese Sicherheitselemente sind bereits vor Applikation auf das Wertdokument aktiv und können somit von Nachahmern als gültiges Sicherheitselement auch auf gefälschte Dokumente aufgebracht werden.These security elements are already active before application to the value document and can thus be applied by imitators as a valid security element on fake documents.

Ferner ist es bekannt drucktechnisch beispielweise Linienraster auf Wertdokumente aufzubringen, die mit versteckten Informationen versehen sind, die mittels Linsen, Filter oder dergleichen ausgelesen, jedoch nicht kopiert werden können.Furthermore, it is known to apply printing technology, for example, line grids on documents of value, which are provided with hidden information that can be read by means of lenses, filters or the like, but can not be copied.

Verfahren zur Herstellung von Sicherheitsmerkmalen bei denen zwei Teile register- und passergenau zusammengefügt werden sind zum Beispiel aus WO 8402309 bekannt.A method for producing security features in which two parts are joined together in register and registration are, for example, out WO 8402309 known.

Aufgabe der Erfindung war es, ein Sicherheitselement bereitzustellen, das erst durch register- und passergenaue Applikation mit hoher Präzision auf das Wertdokument zum Echtheitsnachweis geeignet ist und damit zum Sicherheitsmerkmal wird.The object of the invention was to provide a security element that is suitable only by register and register-accurate application with high precision on the value document for authentication and thus becomes a security feature.

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist daher ein Verfahren nach Anspruch 1.The invention therefore provides a method according to claim 1.

Dadurch wird ein eindeutiger, unverwechselbarer Bezug zwischen Sicherheitselement und Wertdokument hergestellt. Das Sicherheitsmerkmal wird erst durch register- und passergenaue Applikation aktiviert, erst in Verbindung der Strukturen auf dem Basismaterial des Wertdokuments und dem Sicherheitselement ist die Authentizität des Wertdokuments erkennbar. Ferner werden dadurch auch die Anforderungen an die Sicherheitsmaßnahmen beim Transport der Sicherheitselemente geringer, da das Sicherheitselement alleine praktisch wertlos für Nachahmer und Fälscher ist.This creates a clear, unmistakable relation between the security element and the value document. The security feature is activated only by register and register-accurate application, only in combination of the structures on the base material of the value document and the security element, the authenticity of the value document can be seen. Furthermore, as a result, the requirements for the security measures during transport of the security elements are lower because the security element alone is practically worthless for imitators and counterfeiters.

Das Sicherheitselement weist Strukturen, beispielsweise Linienraster oder Feinstrukturen auf.The security element has structures, for example line grids or fine structures.

Diese Raster und/oder Strukturen können in Form von Zeichen, Linien, Guillochen, Kurven, Wellen, Mustern, geometrischen Figuren und dergleichen, gegebenenfalls auch in Form eines Codes, vorliegen.These screens and / or structures may be in the form of characters, lines, guilloches, curves, waves, patterns, geometric figures and the like, optionally also in the form of a code.

Die Raster und/oder Strukturen weisen optische Eigenschaften auf und können gedruckt oder metallisiert sein.The screens and / or structures have optical properties and may be printed or metallized.

So sind beispielsweise Linienraster oder Feinstrukturen mit einer Linienstärke von 50 - 250 µm besonders geeignet. Die Zahl der Linien pro cm kann je nach Linienstärke dabei 25 - 350, vorzugsweise 30 -100 betragen.For example, line grids or fine structures with a line thickness of 50 - 250 μm are particularly suitable. Depending on the line thickness, the number of lines per cm may be 25-350, preferably 30-100.

Das Sicherheitselement mit den darauf vorhandenen Rastern, Strukturen und Informationen wird register und passergenau mit hoher Präzision auf das Basismaterial des Wertdokuments aufgebracht.The security element with its existing grids, structures and information is applied in register and registration with high precision to the base material of the value document.

Dabei können die auf dem Sicherheitselement vorhandenen Teil-Raster oder Teil-Feinstrukturen oder Teil-Informationen erst durch Deckung mit den auf dem Basismaterial des Wertdokuments vorhandenen Teil-Rastern oder Feinstrukturen bzw. Teil-Informationen die gewünschte vollständige Information bilden.In this case, the partial rasters or partial fine structures or partial information present on the security element can form the desired complete information only by covering with the partial rasters or fine structures or partial information present on the base material of the value document.

Es können aber auch durch Kombination oder Überlagerung der auf dem Sicherheitselement und dem Basismaterial des Wertdokuments vorliegenden Raster, Strukturen oder Informationen neue Effekte entstehen.However, new effects can also be created by combination or superposition of the rasters, structures or information present on the security element and the base material of the value document.

Neben den bei passergenauer Aufbringung auf das Basismaterial des Wertdokuments zum aktiven Sicherheitsmerkmal werdenden Strukturen können sowohl das Sicherheitselement als auch das Wertdokument zusätzliche funktionelle Merkmale aufweisen.In addition to the passer-exact application to the base material of the value document becoming the active security feature structures, both the security element and the value document can have additional functional features.

Das Sicherheitselement, das auf das Basismaterial des Wertdokuments appliziert und/oder in das Basismaterial des Wertdokument eingebettet wird, wird hergestellt durch Aufbringen der gewünschten Raster, Strukturen und dergleichen auf ein Trägersubstrat.The security element, which is applied to the base material of the value document and / or embedded in the base material of the value document, is produced by applying the desired patterns, structures and the like onto a carrier substrate.

Als Trägersubstrate kommen beispielsweise Trägerfolien, vorzugsweise flexible transparente Kunststofffolien, beispielsweise aus Pl, PP, MOPP, PE, PPS, PEEK, PEK, PEI, PAEK, LCP, PEN, PBT, PET, PA, PC, COC, POM, ABS, PVC in Frage.The carrier substrates are, for example, carrier films, preferably flexible transparent plastic films, for example of PI, PP, MOPP, PE, PPS, PEEK, PEK, PEI, PAEK, LCP, PEN, PBT, PET, PA, PC, COC, POM, ABS, PVC in question.

Die Trägerfolien weisen vorzugsweise eine Dicke von 5 - 700 µm, bevorzugt 5 - 200 µm, besonders bevorzugt 5 - 50 µm auf.The carrier films preferably have a thickness of 5 to 700 .mu.m, preferably 5 to 200 .mu.m, particularly preferably 5 to 50 .mu.m.

Auf dieses Trägersubstrat werden dann die entsprechenden Linienraster, Feinstrukturen und Informationen aufgebracht.The corresponding line grids, fine structures and information are then applied to this carrier substrate.

Die Aufbringung dieser Merkmale kann auf jede bekannte konventionelle Weise erfolgen, beispielsweise durch Spin-Coating, Aufstreichen, Aufdampfen, durch Drucken, (Tiefdruck, Flexodruck, Siebdruck, Offsetdruck, Digitaldruck und dergleichen) durch Aufsprühen, Sputtern, Ätztechniken oder Walzenauftragstechniken.The application of these features may be accomplished in any known conventional manner, for example by spin-coating, brushing, vapor deposition, by printing (gravure, flexo, screen, offset, digital and the like) by spraying, sputtering, etching or roller coating techniques.

Ebenso werden auf das Basismaterial des Wertdokuments an einer bestimmten definierten Stelle die entsprechenden Merkmale aufgebracht.Likewise, the corresponding features are applied to the base material of the value document at a certain defined location.

Das Basismaterial des Wertdokuments kann dabei aus zellstofffreiem, zellstoffhaltigem Papier, Baumwollpapier, Papier mit thermochromer oder chemisch aktivierbarer Beschichtung, Papieren mit Wasserzeichen, Verbunden dieser Papiere auch mit Kunststoffen oder Metallfolien, aus Kunststoffen, Verbunden mit Kunststoffen, aus Metallfolien oder Verbunden von Metallfolien mit Kunststoffen und/oder Papier und dergleichen bestehen. Die Dicke des Wertdokuments kann dabei 6 - 1000 µm betragen.The base material of the value document can be made of cellulose-free, cellulose-containing paper, cotton paper, paper with thermochromic or chemically activatable coating, paper with watermarks, these papers also connected with plastics or metal foils, plastics, composites with plastics, metal foils or composites of metal foils with plastics and / or paper and the like. The thickness of the value document can be 6-1000 μm.

Die beschriebenen Merkmale können auf das Basismaterial des Wertdokuments in jedem bekannten Druckverfahren, beispielsweise durch Tiefdruckverfahren, indirekten Tiefdruck, Stahltiefdruck, Intaglio-Druckverfahren, Prägen, Blindprägen, Offsetdruck, Flexodruck, Buchdruck, Digitaldruck, und dergleichen aufgebracht werden.The described features can be applied to the base material of the document of value in any known printing method, for example by gravure printing, indirect gravure, gravure, intaglio printing, embossing, blind embossing, offset, flexo, letterpress, digital, and the like.

In der vorliergenden Erfindung werden sowohl auf dem Sicherheitselement als auch auf dem Basismaterial des Wertdokuments in einem definierten Bereich Feinrasterstrukturen aufgebracht sein. Durch register- und passergenaues Aufbringen des Sicherheitsmerkmals auf das Basismaterial des Wertdokuments entsteht dadurch ein Moirée-Effekt, wobei dadurch ein Schriftzug, eine geometrische Form oder ein bestimmtes Muster sichtbar wird.In the present invention, fine grid structures will be applied in a defined area both on the security element and on the base material of the value document. By applying the security feature to the base material of the value document in register and register, this creates a moire effect, whereby a lettering, a geometric shape or a specific pattern becomes visible.

Das Sicherheitselement kann dabei in Form eines Fadens, Streifens, Patches oder anderen Formaten, beispielsweise auf einer das Basismaterial des Wertdokuments vollflächig bedeckenden Laminatfolie (vollflächig oder partiell) vorhanden sein.The security element can be present in the form of a thread, strip, patch or other formats, for example on a laminate covering the full surface covering the base material of the value document (full-surface or partial).

Die Applikation bzw. die teilweise Einbettung des Sicherheitselements auf bzw. in das Basismaterial des Wertdokuments muss register - und passergenau erfolgen und erfolgt vorzugsweise mittels eines registergesteuerten Verfahrens, wobei das mit einer definierten funktionellen, wie oben beschriebenen Schicht versehene Basismaterial des Wertdokuments über eine entsprechende Applikationsmaschine mit dem Sicherheitsmerkmal, das entsprechende Registermarken aufweist, verbunden wird.The application or the partial embedding of the security element onto or into the base material of the value document must take place in register and registration and preferably takes place by means of a register-controlled process, with the layer having a defined functional layer as described above provided base material of the value document via a corresponding application machine with the security feature that has corresponding register marks is connected.

Die Präzision der Aufbringung kann, je nach verwendetem Merkmal und gewünschten Effekt, Toleranzen von 0,05 bis 3 mm aufweisen.The precision of the application can have tolerances of 0.05 to 3 mm, depending on the feature used and the effect desired.

Dabei kann vorzugsweise das Sicherheitselement einen Heiß- oder Kaltsiegelkleber, einen Kaschierkleber oder eine selbstklebende Beschichtung aufweisen.In this case, preferably, the security element have a hot or cold seal adhesive, a laminating adhesive or a self-adhesive coating.

Das Wertdokument kann anschließend mit einer bekannten Beschichtung zur Erhöhung der Umlauffähigkeit oder einem Schutzlack oder einer Schutzfolie versehen werden.The document of value can then be provided with a known coating to increase the circulation capability or a protective lacquer or a protective film.
