Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for securing valuable documents, in particular banknotes, and more particularly to a method for securing valuable documents contained in a security protection or transport enclosure.
  • the trajectory of the projected products being relatively random, the marking or the deterioration of the valuable documents can prove to be insufficient and not homogeneous on the whole of the document (s). This occurs especially in the case of bank notes bundled together, for which only the edges of the notes are exposed. By cutting the edges of stained or damaged notes, it is therefore possible to safely recover almost all the tickets stored inside the container.
  • a solution proposed by AXYTRANS consists in triggering a pyrotechnic charge housed in the lid of the secure container, the deflagration of said charge causing both the opening of liquid tanks marker or destroyer placed inside the container and the partial or total cutting of all valuable documents.
  • this solution leads to a deterioration or a deep marking of the banknotes, the result is still insufficient both in terms of the proportion of notes physically reached by the liquid, as the level of the regularity of said deteriorations or said markings. .
  • this solution does not control the intensity, shape and positioning of said deteriorations or said markings.
  • This heterogeneity in the physical modification undergone by each of the notes leaves a doubt as to the origin of said modifications and, as a result, does not make it possible to reliably identify a stolen ticket of a non-stolen ticket.
  • One of the aims of the invention is therefore to propose a new method for securing valuable documents that does not have the drawbacks of the above-mentioned prior art and, in particular, a method of securing valuable documents enabling them to be completed. in a simple and fast way, while being without risk for the potential users, with an irreversible physical modification of the documents of value, rendering said documents unusable or legally identifiable, said modification being able to be carried out in a complete, homogeneous and controlled way on the set of valuable documents.
  • a method for securing valuable documents comprising the steps of integrating into each document, during its manufacture, at least one active substance irreversibly changing color under the direct effect of revealing means, said color change rendering said documents unusable or legally identifiable, the developer means consisting of external microwave radiation; said method being remarkable in that the external microwave radiation induces an irreversible chemical modification of the active substance by the creation of an extended ⁇ -conjugate system signifying the transition from an unconjugated initial form to a conjugated final form.

  • the interlayable atom group has a chemical formula of the type:
  • the integration of the active substance with valuable documents is carried out by incorporating said active substance into at least one of the constituent elements of said valuable documents.
  • the active substance is incorporated in the basic support of valuable documents, said support being able to be made of paper or plastic.
  • the active substance is incorporated into an ink printed on said valuable documents.
  • the active substance is incorporated in a varnish covering said valuable documents.
  • the active substance used during the active securing process has a general formula of the type:
  • D is an electron donor group by mesomeric and / or inductive effect
  • A is an electron acceptor group by mesomeric and / or inductive effect
  • X and Y are two groups capable of being eliminated in the form of an XY molecule under the effect of external microwave radiation; n is an integer.
  • Such molecules must pass rapidly and irreversibly from an unconjugated form, preferably colorless or weakly colored, to a conjugate form, preferably strongly colored, under the effect of external microwave radiation.
