In diesem Bereich können auch Wasserzeichen angeordnet werden. Eine zuverlässige Absicherung der Naht kann durch die in den beiden Druckschriften angegebenen Maßnahmen nicht erfolgen.From the DE 197 32 712 A1 A value and security document of the specified type is known in which the folding area of a passport is provided with imprints in the form of codes or ciphers. It is also described to arrange a reinforcing band in the area of the seam. A similar value and security document will be published in the DE 693 07 844 T3 disclosed, in which a thickening is provided in the paper in the seam area. Watermarks can also be arranged in this area. A reliable protection of the seam can not be done by the measures specified in the two documents.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Wert- und Sicherheitsdokument in Buchform zu schaffen, das vor Fälschungen geschützt ist, bei denen Fälscher das Dokument auseinander nehmen und Blätter heraus nehmen, hinzu fügen, ersetzen oder verändern und das Dokument anschließend wieder zusammen setzen. Es sollte ferner ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines derartigen Wert- und Sicherheitsdokuments angegeben werden, das einfach und kostengünstig ist.The invention has for its object to provide a value and security document in book form, which is protected against counterfeiting, in which counterfeiters take the document apart and take leaves out, add, replace or change and then put the document together again. There should also be given a method of making such a value and security document that is simple and inexpensive.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass ein erster Teil eines Sicherheitselements über der Naht und/oder innerhalb der Naht und ein zweiter Teil des Sicherheitselements über mindestens einem Teil und/oder innerhalb eines Teils des angrenzenden Bereichs des unmittelbar unter der Naht angeordneten Blattes angeordnet ist, wobei sich die zur Absicherung dienende Information aus dem ersten Teil und dem zweiten Teil des Sicherheitselements ergibt. Die Aufgabe wird ferner durch ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Wert- und Sicherheitsdokuments gelöst, bei dem anschließend an das Vernähen der Blätter ein Sicherheitselement derart aufgebracht wird, dass ein erster Teil des Sicherheitselements über der Naht und/oder innerhalb der Naht und ein zweiter Teil des Sicherheitselements über mindestens einem Teil und/oder innerhalb eines Teils des angrenzenden Bereichs des unmittelbar unter der Naht angeordneten Blattes angeordnet ist, wobei sich die zur Absicherung dienende Information aus dem ersten Teil und dem zweiten Teil des Sicherheitselements ergibt.The object is achieved according to the invention by arranging a first part of a security element over the seam and / or within the seam and a second part of the security element over at least one part and / or within a part of the adjacent area of the sheet immediately below the seam in which the information serving for the protection results from the first part and the second part of the security element. The object is further achieved by a method for producing a value and security document, in which, following the sewing of the sheets, a security element is applied such that a first part of the security element over the seam and / or inside the seam and a second part of the security element Security element is arranged over at least part and / or within a part of the adjacent region of the immediately below the seam arranged sheet, wherein the information serving for the protection of the first part and the second part of the security element results.

Das erfindungsgemäße Wert- und Sicherheitsdokument in Buchform hat den Vorteil, dass durch die Absicherung der Naht, die überraschend einfach erfolgt, das Wert- und Sicherheitsdokument vor Fälschungen geschützt wird, bei denen die Fälscher versuchen, nach dem Auseinandernehmen des Dokuments Blätter heraus zu nehmen, hinzu zu fügen, zu verändern oder zu ersetzen. Ebenso wird in vorteilhafter Weise die Wiederverwendung des Nahtmaterials erschwert, da dieses in den Bereichen, in denen das Sicherheitselement angeordnet ist, verändert ist. Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Wert- und Sicherheitsdokuments in Buchform ist einfach und kostengünstig durchführbar. In besonders vorteilhafter Weise ermöglicht das Verfahren eine individuelle Absicherung von Wert- und Sicherheitsdokumenten in Buchform, welche beispielsweise spezifisch für die Dokumentenart, das das Dokument ausstellende Land oder für das einzelne Dokument gestaltet werden kann.The value and security document in book form according to the invention has the advantage that by securing the seam, which is surprisingly simple, the value and security document is protected against counterfeiting, in which the counterfeiters attempt to remove sheets after the document has been disassembled, add, modify or replace. Likewise, the reuse of the suture is made difficult in an advantageous manner, since this is changed in the areas in which the security element is arranged. The inventive method for producing a value and security document in book form is simple and inexpensive to carry out. In a particularly advantageous manner, the method enables individual protection of value and security documents in book form, which can be designed, for example, specifically for the type of document, the document issuing the document or for the individual document.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen des erfindungsgemäßen Wert- und Sicherheitsdokuments und des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens zur Herstellung eines Wert- und Sicherheitsdokuments sind anhand der abhängigen Ansprüche dargestellt. Besonders vorteilhaft ist, wenn der erste Teil des Sicherheitselements mit der Naht und der zweite Teil des Sicherheitselements mit dem Teil des angrenzenden Bereichs des unmittelbar unter der Naht angeordneten Blattes verbunden ist. Hierdurch ist eine besonders effektive Fälschungssicherung möglich.Further advantageous embodiments of the value and security document according to the invention and of the method according to the invention for producing a value and security document are illustrated by the dependent claims. It is particularly advantageous if the first part of the security element with the seam and the second part of the Security element is connected to the part of the adjacent region of the immediately below the seam arranged sheet. As a result, a particularly effective protection against counterfeiting is possible.

Es ist ferner vorteilhaft, das Sicherheitselement als eine Schicht aus Leim oder Kleber oder Lack oder Farbe oder eine Emulsion oder einer Kombination dieser auszubilden. Hierbei werden sowohl die Naht als auch der Teil des unmittelbar des unter der Naht angeordneten Blattes, der an die Naht angrenzt, mit der gedruckten oder anderweitig aufgebrachten Schicht versehen. Die Materialien dringen hierbei in vorteilhafter Weise mindestens teilweise in die Naht und/oder den Teil des angrenzenden Bereichs des unmittelbar unter der Naht angeordneten Blattes ein, der beschichtet worden ist. Eine Veränderung des Blattes oder der Naht ist leicht feststellbar, weil der auf der Naht abgebildete erste Teils des Sicherheitselements nicht mehr den zweiten Teil des Sicherheitselements ergänzt. Sollte das Nahtmaterial für ein anderes Wert- und Sicherheitsdokument verwendet werden, so ist dies anhand der durch den ersten Teil des Sicherheitselements in ihrer Beschaffenheit veränderten Bereiche der Naht erkennbar, wobei eine veränderte Beschaffenheit visuell, haptisch oder maschinell erfassbar ist.It is also advantageous to form the security element as a layer of glue or glue or lacquer or paint or an emulsion or a combination of these. In this case, both the seam and the part of the immediately below the seam arranged sheet, which adjoins the seam, provided with the printed or otherwise applied layer. The materials advantageously penetrate at least partially into the seam and / or the part of the adjacent region of the sheet which has been directly under the seam and which has been coated. A change of the sheet or the seam is easily detectable because the first part of the security element shown on the seam no longer complements the second part of the security element. If the suture material is to be used for another value and security document, this can be recognized from the nature of the areas of the suture that are changed in their nature by the first part of the security element, wherein a changed condition can be detected visually, haptically or mechanically.

In einem weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsbeispiel ist das Sicherheitselement als eine Folie und/oder ein Hologramm, ein anderes optisch variables Element oder geprägtes, auch mehrstufiges Element ausgebildet, welches in vorteilhafter Weise auf die Naht und einen Teil des angrenzenden Bereichs des unmittelbar unter der Naht angeordneten Blattes aufkaschiert oder aufgesiegelt oder aufgeklebt ist. Durch das Aufkleben oder Aufsiegeln oder Aufkaschieren wird die Oberfläche des mit der Folie oder des Hologramms versehenen Bereichs des unter der Naht angeordneten Blattes und der Naht verändert. Sollten Fälschungsversuche unternommen werden, sind diese Oberflächenveränderungen in diesen beiden Bestandteilen erkennbar.In a further advantageous embodiment, the security element is formed as a film and / or a hologram, another optically variable element or embossed, even multi-stage element, which advantageously on the seam and a part of the adjacent region of the immediately below the seam arranged sheet laminated or sealed or glued on. By gluing or sealing or laminating, the surface of the film or hologram-provided portion of the sheet and seam under the seam is changed. If counterfeiting attempts are made, these surface changes in these two components are recognizable.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausführung ist das Sicherheitselement mit mindestens zwei verschiedenen Klebesystemen versehen, die in die gleiche oder verschiedene Richtungen aufgetragen sind, wobei die mindestens zwei verschiedenen Klebesysteme unterschiedliche Maximalresistenztemperaturen in Bezug auf Hitze- und Kälteresistenz aufweisen.In an advantageous embodiment, the security element is provided with at least two different adhesive systems, which are applied in the same or different directions, wherein the at least two different adhesive systems have different maximum resistance temperatures with respect to heat and cold resistance.

In einem weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsbeispiel ist zwischen dem ersten Teil und dem zweiten Teil des Sicherheitselements mindestens eine Sollbruchstelle angeordnet, die bei Manipulierungsversuchen zur Zerstörung des Sicherheitselements führen.In a further advantageous embodiment, at least one predetermined breaking point is arranged between the first part and the second part of the security element, which leads to the destruction of the security element in manipulation attempts.

In vorteilhafter Weise weist das Sicherheitselement ein optisch variables Element und/oder Melierfasern auf, welche eine visuelle und/oder maschinelle Überprüfung des Sicherheitselements zulassen. Ebenso kann eine maschinelle Überprüfung des Sicherheitselements durchgeführt werden, wenn dieses phosphoreszierende und/oder fluoreszierende Pigmente oder weitere maschinell erfassbare Stoffe und Substanzen, beispielsweise leitende Materialien, aufweist.In an advantageous manner, the security element has an optically variable element and / or mottled fibers, which permit a visual and / or mechanical check of the security element. Likewise, a mechanical check of the security element can be carried out if it has phosphorescent and / or fluorescent pigments or other mechanically detectable substances and substances, for example conductive materials.

Eine vorteilhafte visuelle, haptische oder maschinelle Überprüfung der Echtheit des erfindungsgemäßen Wert- und Sicherheitsdokuments kann erfolgen, wenn die Information eine vorgegebene Kontur und/oder ein vorgegebener Flächeninhalt und/oder eine vorgegebene Länge eines bestimmten vorgegebenen visuell, haptisch oder maschinell erfassbaren Parameters ist.An advantageous visual, haptic or mechanical verification of the authenticity of the value and security document according to the invention can take place if the information is a predetermined contour and / or a predetermined surface area and / or a predetermined length of a specific predetermined visually, haptically or machine-detectable parameter.

Eine besonders einfache visuelle Überprüfung der Echtheit ist möglich, wenn die Information ein Bild (z.B. Logo, Wappen, Symbol) und/oder ein alphanumerisches Element, welches auch nur aus Buchstaben oder Zahlen bestehen kann, beinhaltet.A particularly simple visual verification of authenticity is possible if the information includes an image (e.g., logo, crest, symbol) and / or an alphanumeric element, which may consist of only letters or numbers.

Ein vorteilhaft genaues erfindungsgemäßes Herstellungsverfahren eines Wert- und Sicherheitsdokuments ergibt sich, wenn die Blätter nach dem Anordnen übereinander und vor dem Vernähen zusätzlich gefalzt werden und die Naht in dem Falz angeordnet wird. In weiteren vorteilhaften Herstellungsverfahren kann das Aufbringen des Sicherheitselements vor dem Falzen erfolgen, wobei hier das Vernähen vor dem Aufbringen des Sicherheitselements durchgeführt wird. In einem weiteren vorteilhaften Herstellungsverfahren kann das Wert- und Sicherheitsdokument bereits an einem ersten Ort fertig gestellt werden (übereinander Legen der Blätter, Vernähen und ggf. Falzen) und an einem zweiten Ort dezentral das Sicherheitselement aufgebracht werden. In einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel können nach dem Vernähen und ggf. Falzen auch vor dem Versenden des Wert- und Sicherheitsdokuments bereits Personendaten in das Wert- und Sicherheitsdokument eingetragen sein. Durch die beiden letztgenannten Möglichkeiten kann die letzte Absicherung mittels individueller Sicherheitselemente direkt durch eine ausstellende Behörde erfolgen, während die Dokumente zentral hergestellt werden.An advantageously accurate manufacturing process of a value and security document according to the invention results if the sheets are folded over one after the other and prior to stitching, and the seam is arranged in the fold. In further advantageous manufacturing methods, the application of the security element can take place before folding, wherein here the sewing is carried out before the application of the security element. In a further advantageous manufacturing method, the security and value document can already be completed at a first location (stacking of the leaves, sewing and possibly folding) and at a second location the security element can be applied decentrally. In a further embodiment, after sewing and possibly folding even before sending the value and security document already Personal data must be entered in the value and security document. The last two options mean that the last security can be provided directly by an issuing authority by means of individual security elements, while the documents are produced centrally.

In Figur 1 ist ein erfindungsgemäßes Wert- und Sicherheitsdokument 1 dargestellt, welches aus mehreren Blättern 3 besteht. Die Blätter 3 sind übereinander gelegt und mittels einer Naht 5 miteinander verbunden. Die Verbindung durch die Naht 5 erfolgt vorzugsweise in der Mitte eines Blattes. Sie kann bei einzelnen Blättern oder allen Blättern auch im Randbereich des jeweiligen Blattes angeordnet sein. Die Naht kann als eine Stichnaht oder eine Heftnaht ausgebildet sein. Jedes Blatt kann aus einem Papier- oder Papp- oder Kunststoff- oder Baumwollmaterial oder einer beliebigen Kombination dieser Materialien bestehen.In FIG. 1 an inventive value and security document 1 is shown, which consists of several sheets 3. The sheets 3 are superimposed and connected to each other by means of a seam 5. The connection through the seam 5 is preferably in the middle of a sheet. It can also be arranged in the edge region of the respective sheet in the case of individual sheets or all sheets. The seam may be as a stitch seam or a Be formed Heftnaht. Each sheet may consist of a paper or cardboard or plastic or cotton material or any combination of these materials.

In einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel werden mehrere Blätter 3 durch die Naht 5 miteinander verbunden und anschließend der sogenannte Buchblock aus den mehreren Blättern 3 mit dem Einband, beispielsweise durch Kleben, verbunden. Das in Figur 1 dargestellte, erfindungsgemäße Wert- und Sicherheitsdokument 1 weist ein Sicherheitselement 7 auf, welches auf die Naht 5 und auf einen Teil des an die Naht 5 angrenzenden Bereichs des unmittelbar unter der Naht 5 angeordneten Blattes 31 in Form der Buchstaben "BDr" aufgedruckt ist Ebenso können Zahlen oder Bilder analog zu den Buchstaben "BDr" aufgedruckt werden. In dem in Figur 1 abgebildeten Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Buchstaben "BDr" so aufgedruckt, dass sie in einer Richtung entlang der Naht 5 oder in einer Richtung senkrecht zur Naht 5 lesbar sind. Die aufgedruckte Schicht aus Leim oder Kleber oder Lack oder Farbe oder einer Emulsion kann teilweise oder vollständig in die Naht und/oder die bedruckten, angrenzenden Bereiche des unmittelbar unter der Naht angeordneten Blattes 31 eingedrungen sein. Folglich ist das Sicherheitselement 7 dann innerhalb der Naht 5 und/oder innerhalb der entsprechenden Blattteile des unmittelbar unter der Naht 5 angeordneten Blattes 31 angeordnet. Beim unvollständigen Eindringen der genannten Materialien ist auf der Oberfläche der Naht 5 oder der bedruckten Teile des angrenzenden Bereichs des unmittelbar des unter der Naht 5 angeordneten Blattes 31 eine entsprechende Schicht angeordnet.In a further embodiment, a plurality of sheets 3 are connected to each other by the seam 5 and then the so-called book block of the several sheets 3 with the cover, for example by gluing, connected. This in FIG. 1 illustrated value and security document 1 according to the invention comprises a security element 7 which is printed on the seam 5 and on a part of the adjacent to the seam 5 portion of the immediately below the seam 5 arranged sheet 31 in the form of the letters "BDr" Numbers or images are printed analogously to the letters "BDr". In the in FIG. 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the letters "BDr" are printed so that they are readable in one direction along the seam 5 or in a direction perpendicular to the seam 5. The printed layer of glue or glue or lacquer or paint or an emulsion may have partially or completely penetrated into the seam and / or the printed, adjacent regions of the sheet 31 arranged immediately below the seam. Consequently, the security element 7 is then disposed within the seam 5 and / or within the corresponding blade portions of the sheet 31 located immediately below the seam 5. When incomplete penetration of said materials is on the surface of the seam 5 or the printed parts of the adjacent region of immediately below the seam 5 arranged sheet 31, a corresponding layer arranged.

In einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel kann in die aufgedruckte Klebe-, Leim-, Lack- oder Farbschicht, welche nicht vollständig in die Naht 5 und/oder das unmittelbar unter der Naht angeordnete Blatt eingedrungen ist, mit einer Prägung versehen sein. Hierfür wird beispielsweise eine in Form von Bildern und/oder alphanumerischen Zeichen profilierte Walze verwendet.In a further embodiment, can be provided with an embossing in the printed adhesive, glue, paint or ink layer, which has not completely penetrated into the seam 5 and / or arranged immediately below the seam sheet. For this example, a profiled in the form of images and / or alphanumeric characters roller is used.

In dem anhand von Figur 2 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist das Sicherheitselement 8 nicht aufgedruckt, sondern in Form einer Folie und/oder eines Hologramms und/oder eines sonstigen optisch variablen Elements und/oder geprägten Elements (auch mehrstufig) auf die Naht 5 und den an die Naht 5 angrenzenden Bereich des unmittelbar unter der Naht 5 angeordneten Blattes 31 aufkaschiert oder aufgesiegelt oder aufgeklebt. Wie in Figur 2 angedeutet, kann ein derartiges Sicherheitselement unterschiedliche Formen, z.B. eine Ellipsenform, eine Sternform, eine Kreisform, eine rechteckige Form usw., aufweisen. Ein derartiges Sicherheitselement kann ferner eine gezackte oder gewellte oder anderweitig geformte Kontur aufweisen. Ebenso kann ein derartiges Sicherheitselement 8 die äußere Kontur eines Bildes und/oder mindestens eines alphanumerischen Zeichens aufweisen. In einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel kann auf dem Sicherheitselement 8 ein Bild und/oder mindestens ein alphanumerisches Zeichen angeordnet sein.In the basis of FIG. 2 illustrated embodiment, the security element 8 is not printed, but in the form of a film and / or a hologram and / or other optically variable element and / or embossed element (also multi-level) on the seam 5 and to the Seam 5 adjacent region of the immediately below the seam 5 arranged sheet 31 laminated or sealed or glued. As in FIG. 2 indicated, such a security element may have different shapes, such as an ellipse shape, a star shape, a circular shape, a rectangular shape, etc., have. Such a security element may further comprise a serrated or corrugated or otherwise shaped contour. Likewise, such a security element 8 may have the outer contour of an image and / or at least one alphanumeric character. In a further embodiment, an image and / or at least one alphanumeric character can be arranged on the security element 8.

In Figur 3 ist dieses Ausführungsbeispiel noch einmal in einer Ansicht von der Seite dargestellt. Hierbei ist deutlich zu erkennen, dass das Sicherheitselement über der Naht und über dem an die Naht angrenzenden Bereich des unmittelbar unter der Naht angeordneten Blattes 31 angeordnet ist. Das Sicherheitselement 8 ist hierbei mit der Naht 5 und dem unmittelbar unter der Naht 5 angeordneten Blatt 31 durch das Klebemittel oder die Laminierung oder das Siegelmittel verbunden.In FIG. 3 this embodiment is shown again in a view from the side. It can clearly be seen here that the security element is arranged above the seam and above the region of the sheet 31 immediately below the seam adjacent to the seam. The security element 8 is in this case connected to the seam 5 and the sheet 31 arranged directly under the seam 5 by the adhesive or the lamination or the sealing means.

Figur 4 zeigt einen Ausschnitt der Naht 5 und des an die Naht 5 angrenzenden Bereichs des unmittelbar unter der Naht 5 angeordneten Blattes 31 des in Figur 1 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels des erfindungsgemäßen Wert- und Sicherheitsdokuments. Das Sicherheitselement 7 setzt sich aus einem ersten Teil 71 und in einem zweiten Teil 72 zusammen. Der ersten Teil 71 ist auf und/oder innerhalb des unmittelbar unter der Naht angeordneten Blattes 31 angeordnet. Der zweite Teil 72 des Sicherheitselements 7 ist auf oder innerhalb der Naht 5 angeordnet. Das vollständige Sicherheitselement 7, hier in Form des Buchstaben "D" aus "BDr", ergibt sich erst aus beiden Teilen 71, 72 des Sicherheitselements 7. Sollte ein Fälscher nun im Rahmen eines Fälschungsversuchs das Wert- und Sicherheitsdokument auseinander nehmen und ein neues Nahtmaterial beim Zusammenfügen des Wert- und Sicherheitsdokuments verwenden, so ist dies daran erkennbar, dass die Naht 5 im Bereich des zweiten Teils 72 des Sicherheitselements 7 eine andere Farbe als der erste Teil 71 des Sicherheitselements 7 aufweist. Der Buchstabe "D" ist somit nicht mehr vollständig visuell erkennbar oder maschinell erfassbar. FIG. 4 shows a section of the seam 5 and adjacent to the seam 5 portion of immediately below the seam 5 arranged sheet 31 of FIG FIG. 1 illustrated embodiment of the value and security document according to the invention. The security element 7 is composed of a first part 71 and in a second part 72. The first part 71 is arranged on and / or within the sheet 31 arranged immediately below the seam. The second part 72 of the security element 7 is arranged on or within the seam 5. The complete security element 7, here in the form of the letter "D" from "BDr", results only from both parts 71, 72 of the security element 7. Should a counterfeiter now take apart the value and security document as part of a forgery attempt and a new suture material when joining the value and security document, this is evident from the fact that the seam 5 in the region of the second part 72 of the security element 7 has a different color than the first part 71 of the security element 7. The letter "D" is thus no longer completely visually recognizable or machine detectable.

In Figur 5 ist ein Ausschnitt aus dem bereits anhand von Figur 2 erläuterten, erfindungsgemäßen Wert- und Sicherheitsdokuments dargestellt. Das Sicherheitselement 8 weist einen ersten Teil 81 auf, welcher mit dem unmittelbar unterhalb der Naht angeordneten Blatt 31 verbunden ist. Der zweite Teil 82 des Sicherheitselements 8 ist mit der Naht 5 verbunden. Zwischen dem ersten Teil 81 des Sicherheitselements 8 und dem zweiten Teil 82 des Sicherheitselements 8 ist in dem hier dargestellten, besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel eine Sollbruchstelle 10 in Form einer perforierten Linie angeordnet. Im Fall einer Manipulation des Wert- und Sicherheitsdokuments an der Naht 5 wird das Sicherheitselement 8 genau an dieser Stelle beschädigt und kann deshalb nicht weiter verwendet werden.In FIG. 5 is an excerpt from the already using FIG. 2 illustrated value and security document according to the invention. The security element 8 has a first part 81, which is connected to the leaf 31 arranged immediately below the seam. The second part 82 of the security element 8 is connected to the seam 5. Between the first part 81 of the security element 8 and the second part 82 of the security element 8, a predetermined breaking point 10 in the form of a perforated line is arranged in the particularly preferred embodiment shown here. In the case of a manipulation of the value and security document at the seam 5, the security element 8 is damaged precisely at this point and therefore can not be used further.

In einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel kann die Sollbruchstelle 10 statt oder zusätzlich zur Perforierung auch als eingekerbte Linie oder eingekerbtes Muster ausgebildet sein, wobei das Sicherheitselement 8 im Bereich der Einkerbungen eine geringere Dicke aufweist.In a further embodiment, the predetermined breaking point 10 may be formed instead of or in addition to the perforation as a notched line or notched pattern, wherein the security element 8 has a smaller thickness in the region of the notches.

Das in Figur 5 dargestellte Sicherheitselement weist außerdem ein Hologramm oder sonstiges optisch variables Element wie Volumenhologramm oder Kippbild mit einer Bildinformation auf. Das Hologramm ist derart auf dem Sicherheitselement 8 angeordnet, dass es über die Naht 5 herüber reicht und ebenfalls in einen ersten Teil 81 und einen zweiten Teil 82 geteilt wird. Somit erstreckt sich die Sollbruchstelle 10 auch über das Hologramm 1 herüber.This in FIG. 5 The security element shown also has a hologram or other optically variable element such as volume hologram or tilt image with image information. The hologram is arranged on the security element 8 such that it extends over the seam 5 and is likewise divided into a first part 81 and a second part 82. Thus, the predetermined breaking point 10 also extends over the hologram 1 over.

In einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel weist das Sicherheitselement Melierfasern auf, die beispielsweise in der Folie oder im Hologramm oder in dem Leim, dem Kleber, dem Lack, der Farbe oder der Emulsion angeordnete sind. In einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel kann das Sicherheitselement phosphoreszierende und/oder fluoreszierende Pigmente oder sonstige maschinell erfassbare Stoffe oder Substanzen enthalten, welche in der Folie, dem Hologramm, dem Leim, dem Kleber, dem Lack, der Farbe oder der Emulsion angeordnet sind.In a further embodiment, the security element has mottled fibers which are arranged, for example, in the film or in the hologram or in the glue, the glue, the paint, the paint or the emulsion. In a further embodiment, the security element may contain phosphorescent and / or fluorescent pigments or other mechanically detectable substances or substances which are arranged in the film, the hologram, the glue, the adhesive, the paint, the paint or the emulsion.

In einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel werden zur Verbindung des Sicherheitselements 8 mit der Naht 5 und des unter der Naht angeordneten Blattes 31 zwei Klebesysteme verwendet. Hierbei wird ein Klebesystem senkrecht und das andere Klebesystem waagerecht und jeweils gerastert aufgetragen. Das erste Klebesystem ist hierbei bis maximal 200°C hitzeresistent und das zweite Klebesystem kälteresistent bis maximal -50°C. Es wird so eine Delaminierung bei einer die Resistenztemperatur übersteigenden bzw. unterschreitenden Temperatur verhindert. In weiteren Ausführungsbeispielen können auch mehr als zwei Klebesysteme vorgesehen sein, die in unterschiedlichen Richtungen aufgetragen sind. Diese weisen unterschiedliche Resistenzmaximaltemperaturen in Bezug auf Hitze- und Kälteresistenz auf.In another embodiment, for connecting the security element 8 with the seam 5 and the arranged under the seam Sheet 31 uses two adhesive systems. Here, an adhesive system is applied vertically and the other adhesive system horizontally and each rastered. The first adhesive system is heat-resistant up to a maximum of 200 ° C and the second adhesive system is cold-resistant up to a maximum of -50 ° C. This prevents delamination at a temperature exceeding or falling below the resistance temperature. In further embodiments, more than two adhesive systems can be provided, which are applied in different directions. These have different resistance maximum temperatures with respect to heat and cold resistance.

Das Sicherheitselement eines erfindungsgemäßen Wert- und Sicherheitsdokuments zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass es eine Information beinhaltet, welche visuell, haptisch oder maschinell erfassbar ist. Die Information setzt sich aus dem jeweils ersten Teil des Sicherheitselements 71, 81 und dem jeweils zweiten Teil des Sicherheitselements 72, 82 zusammen. Eine haptisch erfassbare Information kann beispielsweise ein Profil sein, dass sich über den an die Naht angrenzenden Bereich und die Naht herüber erstreckt.The security element of a value and security document according to the invention is characterized in that it contains information which can be detected visually, haptically or mechanically. The information is composed of the respectively first part of the security element 71, 81 and the respectively second part of the security element 72, 82. Haptically detectable information may, for example, be a profile that extends over the area adjacent to the seam and the seam.

Das Sicherheitselement mit dieser Information ist in einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel individualisierbar z.B. für bestimmte Arten von Wert- und Sicherheitsdokumenten oder beispielsweise für die Länder, die die Wert- und Sicherheitsdokumente ausgeben, oder für das einzelne Dokument selbst. Hierfür müssen die Informationen, die das Sicherheitselement enthält, entsprechend individualisierbar gestaltet werden. Beispielsweise kann das aufgedruckte Sicherheitselement die Nummer des Passes enthalten.The security element with this information can be individualized in a preferred embodiment, e.g. for certain types of value and security documents or, for example, for the countries issuing the value and security documents, or for the individual document itself. For this, the information contained in the security element must be made customizable. For example, the printed security element may contain the number of the passport.

Bei einer Manipulation eines erfindungsgemäßen Wert- und Sicherheitsdokuments im Bereich der Naht ist die Kontur oder der Flächeninhalt oder eine Länge dieses erfassbaren Parameters verändert, so dass diese Veränderungen visuell, haptisch oder maschinell erfasst werden können. Insbesondere maschinell erfolgt eine Erfassung der Messwerte des bestimmten, vorgegebenen Parameters entlang einer Raumrichtung oder innerhalb einer Fläche. Anschließend werden die erfassten Messwerte ausgewertet und z.B. anhand von Schwellwerten nach bekannten Verfahren eine Kontur, ein Flächeninhalt und/oder eine Länge berechnet. Diese berechnete Kontur, der berechnete Flächeninhalt und/oder die berechnete Länge werden anschließend mit entsprechenden Daten im Speicher der Messeinrichtung verglichen. Anhand dieses Vergleichs wird entschieden, ob das vermessene Wert- und Sicherheitsdokument das Echtheitskriterium erfüllt oder nicht. Parameter für die Erfassung von Messwerten können hierbei beispielsweise die Fluoreszenz- oder Phosphoreszenzintensität bei einer bestimmten Wellenlänge oder die Intensität der in einem bestimmten Wellenlängenbereich reflektierte elektromagnetische Strahlung umfassen.In a manipulation of a value and security document according to the invention in the region of the seam, the contour or the area or a length of this detectable parameter is changed, so that these changes can be detected visually, haptically or by machine. In particular, by machine, the measured values of the specific, predetermined parameter are recorded along a spatial direction or within a surface. Subsequently, the acquired measured values are evaluated and, for example, based on threshold values according to known methods a contour, an area and / or a length calculated. This calculated contour, the calculated surface area and / or the calculated length are then compared with corresponding data in the memory of the measuring device. Based on this comparison, it is decided whether or not the measured value and security document meets the authenticity criterion. Parameters for the acquisition of measured values may include, for example, the fluorescence or phosphorescence intensity at a specific wavelength or the intensity of the electromagnetic radiation reflected in a specific wavelength range.

In einem weiteren, bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist das Material des Nähfadens mit einem oder mehreren manuell oder maschinell detektierbaren Materialien versehen. Als ein derartiges Material könnte ein nach einer Anregung mit elektromagnetischer Strahlung in verschiedenen Bereichen des Spektrums der elektromagnetischen Strahlung fluoreszierendes oder phosphoreszierendes Material verwendet werden, beispielsweise ein Up- oder Down-Conversion-Material, welches in Form von Pigmenten vorliegt. Ferner können Melierfasern, magnetische oder elektrisch leitende Materialien vorgesehen sein. Diese Materialien werden bei der Herstellung des Nähfadens im Material des Fadens angeordnet und können als Sicherheitsmerkmal dienen, das die Sicherheit des Wertdokuments weiter erhöht. Die detektierbaren Materialien können über das gesamte Volumen des Nähfadens verteilt oder nur in einer Mantelschicht des Nähfadens angeordnet sein. Bei mehradrigen oder mehrsträngigen Nähfäden können unterschiedliche detektierbare Materialien in den verschiedenen Strängen oder Adern des Nähfadens vorgesehen sein. In einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel kann entlang der Ader oder des Strangs des Nähfadens in bestimmten Abständen eine lokal erhöhte oder erniedrigte Konzentration der detektierbaren Materialien vorliegen. Diese kann sich in vorher festgelegten regelmäßigen oder zufälligen Abständen ändern.In a further, preferred embodiment of the invention, the material of the sewing thread is provided with one or more manually or mechanically detectable materials. As such a material, a material which fluoresces or excites after excitation with electromagnetic radiation in different regions of the spectrum of the electromagnetic radiation could be used, for example an up or down conversion material, which is in the form of pigments. Furthermore, mottle fibers, magnetic or electrically conductive materials may be provided. These materials are placed in the material of the thread during manufacture of the suture and can serve as a security feature that further enhances the security of the value document. The detectable materials can be distributed over the entire volume of the suture or arranged only in a cladding layer of the suture. In multicore or multi-stranded sewing threads, different detectable materials may be provided in the various strands or strands of the suture. In a further embodiment, a locally increased or decreased concentration of the detectable materials may be present along the wire or the strand of the sewing thread at specific intervals. This may change at predetermined regular or random intervals.

Schließlich soll das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zur Herstellung eines oben angegebenen Wert- und Sicherheitsdokuments dargestellt werden. Zunächst werden die mindestens zwei Blätter des Wert- und Sicherheitsdokuments übereinander angeordnet. Danach werden die Blätter durch Vernähen aneinander befestigt. Anschließend wird ein Sicherheitselement beispielsweise durch Bedrucken, Aufkaschieren, Aufsiegeln oder Aufkleben derart aufgebracht, dass ein erster Teil des Sicherheitselements über der Naht und/oder innerhalb der Naht und ein zweiter Teil des Sicherheitselements über mindestens einem Teil und/oder innerhalb eines Teils des angrenzenden Bereichs des unmittelbar unter der Naht angeordneten Blattes angeordnet ist, wobei sich die zur Absicherung dienende Information aus dem ersten Teil und dem zweiten Teil des Sicherheitselements ergibt.Finally, the inventive method for producing a value and security document given above is to be presented.
