Abstract

According to the invention, in order to secure an information item (4) hidden on an object (2) by a scratch field (3), intermediate layers between the information item (4) and the object (2) are provided with transversal recesses (10, 11) which form the spatial structure thereof. Said recesses (10, 11) are arrangeable on at least one layer (9) in the information item (4) area and/or on at least two layers in an area which surrounds said information item (4) and to which the information item (4) is not applied. In the first case, the parts of the information item (4) are printed on several layers (8, 9) and are disclosable by removing a layer. In the second case, a scalpel is guided to the lower layers devoid of information (4) if they are improperly lifted. <I/>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anordnung aus einem Gegenstand mit darauf angebrachter, abzusichernder Information, wie zum Beispiel einer Codierung, Kennung, PIN-Nummer oder dergleichen, und einer Abdeckschicht zum Verdecken der zu sichernden Information. Die Erfindung betrifft ferner ein Verfahren zum Herstellen einer derartigen Anordnung.The invention relates to an arrangement of an object with attached information to be secured, such as a coding, identification, PIN number or the like, and a covering layer for concealing the information to be backed up. The invention further relates to a method for producing such an arrangement.

Es ist bekannt, Geheimnummern, PIN-Nummern oder andere geheime Informationen auf Wertdokumenten, wie Bank- oder Kreditkarten, vorbezahlten Telefonkarten, Chipkarten und dergleichen mittels einer entfernbaren, undurchsichtigen Abdeckschicht zu verdecken, die häufig als Abdeckaufkleber oder Rubbeletikett ausgebildet ist. Üblicherweise entfernt der berechtigte Besitzer des Wertdokuments die Abdeckschicht durch Freirubbeln, um die für ihn bestimmte Information zu erfahren.It is known to cover secret numbers, PIN numbers or other secret information on value documents such as bank or credit cards, prepaid phone cards, smart cards and the like by means of a removable, opaque cover layer, which is often designed as a cover sticker or scratch-off label. Usually, the authorized owner of the value document removes the cover layer by scratching to learn the information intended for him.

Hierbei sollten jedoch Manipulationsversuche von nicht berechtigten Personen nicht unbemerkt durchgeführt werden können, so dass die berechtigte Person von einer Manipulation Kenntnis nehmen kann. Ebenso ist es wichtig, dass eine Person, die ein Wertdokument mit unverfälscht erscheinendem Rubbeletikett vorliegen hat, in jedem Falle davon ausgehen kann, dass keine Manipulation stattgefunden hat.However, manipulation attempts by unauthorized persons should not be able to be performed unnoticed so that the authorized person can learn about manipulation. Likewise, it is important that a person who has a value document with an authentic scratch tag can be sure that no manipulation has taken place.

In diesem Zusammenhang ist es aus der DE 102 52 521 A1 bekannt, zwischen dem Gegenstand und der durch die Abdeckschicht abgedeckten Information eine oder mehrere Zwischenschichten vorzusehen. Örtlich unterschiedliche Adhäsionskräfte haben dann zur Folge, dass bei einem missbräuchlichen Abheben des Rubbeletiketts dieses sichtbar beschädigt wird und dass die Information nur unvollständig freigegeben wird. Bei der Herstellung derartiger Rubbeletiketten kann es jedoch aufgrund variierender Produktionsparameter zu Abweichungen im Produktionsprozess kommen, die dazu führen können, dass sich die erwünsche Wirkung nicht vollständig entfalten kann.In this context, it is from the DE 102 52 521 A1 It is known to provide one or more intermediate layers between the article and the information covered by the cover layer. Locally different adhesion forces have the consequence that in the event of abusive lifting of the scratch-off label, it is visibly damaged and the information is only released incompletely. However, in the production of such scratch-off labels, it may be due to varying production parameters There may be deviations in the production process that can lead to the desired effect not being able to fully develop.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Gegenstand mit zu sichernder Information und ein Herstellungsverfahren desselben vorzuschlagen, der/ das gleichbleibend eine hohe Sicherheit in Bezug auf Manipulationsversuche gewährleistet.The invention is therefore based on the object of proposing an object with information to be backed up and a manufacturing method thereof, which consistently ensures a high level of security with respect to manipulation attempts.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine Anordnung und ein Verfahren mit den Merkmalen der unabhängigen Ansprüche gelöst. In davon abhängigen Ansprüchen sind vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung angegeben.This object is achieved by an arrangement and a method having the features of the independent claims. In dependent claims advantageous embodiments and developments of the invention are given.

Bei einer erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung, bestehend aus einem Gegenstand und einer flächenmäßig kleineren Abdeckschicht, ist zwischen der durch die Abdeckschicht abgedeckten Information und dem Gegenstand zumindest eine Zwischenschicht angeordnet, die räumlich so strukturiert ist, dass sie das Freilegen der Information durch Entfernen der Abdeckschicht verhindert. Die räumliche Strukturierung der Zwischenschicht besteht aus Aussparungen, die die Zwischenschicht vollständig durchdringen.In an arrangement according to the invention, consisting of an object and a smaller area covering layer, at least one intermediate layer is arranged between the covered by the cover layer information and the object, which is spatially structured so that it prevents the exposure of the information by removing the cover layer. The spatial structuring of the intermediate layer consists of recesses that completely penetrate the intermediate layer.

Bei einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform besteht die räumliche Strukturierung der Zwischenschicht in einem flächig ausgebildeten Muster, das durch die Aussparungen gebildet wird und über dem die zu sichernde Information liegt. Dieses Muster kann aus beliebigen geometrischen Figuren bestehen. Besonders bevorzugt werden allerdings reguläre Muster, zum Beispiel Rauten- oder Rechteckmuster. Da diese Strukturierung genau in dem Bereich der Zwischenschicht vorliegt, in dem die zu sichernde Information auf die Zwischenschicht aufgetragen wird, wird die Information teilweise auf dem Material der Zwischenschicht aufgetragen und kommt teilweise in deren Aussparungen zu liegen. Die Information, die in der Regel aufgedruckt wird, liegt also auf verschiedenen Ebenen des Schichtaufbaus der Anordnung vor. Dabei ist die Druckdicke der Information vorzugsweise geringer als die Dicke der strukturierten Zwischenschicht. Beim Auftragen der Abdeckschicht werden die teilweise Druckfarbe enthaltenen Aussparungen der strukturierten Zwischenschicht vorzugsweise mit der Abdeckschicht aufgefüllt. Ein missbräuchliches Abheben des Rubbeletiketts oder der Zwi-schenschicht mittels eines Skalpells legt also jeweils nur eine Teilinformation frei. Vorteilhaft dabei ist es, wenn das Muster der strukturierten Zwischenschicht so gestaltet ist, dass die vollständige Information aus keiner der Teilinformationen rekonstruiert werden kann.In a particularly preferred embodiment, the spatial structuring of the intermediate layer in a two-dimensional pattern, which is formed by the recesses and over which the information to be backed up. This pattern can consist of any geometric figures. However, particular preference is given to regular patterns, for example diamond or rectangular patterns. Since this structuring is exactly in the area of the intermediate layer in which the information to be protected is applied to the intermediate layer, the information becomes partial applied to the material of the intermediate layer and comes to lie partially in the recesses. The information that is usually printed, therefore, is present at different levels of the layer structure of the arrangement. The print thickness of the information is preferably less than the thickness of the structured intermediate layer. When applying the covering layer, the recesses of the structured intermediate layer contained in the partial printing ink are preferably filled with the covering layer. An abusive lifting of the scratch-off label or the intermediate layer by means of a scalpel thus only exposes part information in each case. It is advantageous if the pattern of the structured intermediate layer is designed such that the complete information can not be reconstructed from any of the partial information.

Die Strukturierung wird mit dem Auftragen der Zwischenschicht auf den Gegenstand, vorzugsweise durch ein Druckverfahren, erzeugt, indem die Aussparungen beim Druckvorgang gezielt freigelassen werden. Hierbei ist es von Vorteil, wenn die strukturierte Zwischenschicht die gleiche Farbe besitzt wie der Untergrund, über dem sie aufgetragen wird, so dass sie optisch nur sehr schwer von diesem zu unterscheiden ist. Vorzugsweise ist die Farbe grau.The structuring is produced with the application of the intermediate layer to the article, preferably by a printing process, in that the recesses are deliberately released during the printing process. It is advantageous if the structured intermediate layer has the same color as the substrate over which it is applied, so that it is very difficult to distinguish it visually optically. Preferably, the color is gray.

Einerseits ist es möglich, eine solche graue Untergrundschicht als weitere Zwischenschicht im Druckverfahren vor der strukturierten Zwischenschicht auf den Gegenstand aufzutragen. Andererseits, z. B. wenn der Gegenstand selbst großflächig oder vollflächig lackiert oder bedruckt ist und zumindest im Bereich der aufzubringenden Information ein in der Farbe der strukturierten Zwischenschicht gedrucktes Feld aufweist, oder wenn ein solches Feld in sonstiger Weise in den Gegenstand integriert ist, kann die strukturierte Zwischenschicht direkt auf den Gegenstand bzw. dessen äußerste Beschichtung gedruckt werden. Selbstverständlich ist es in diesem Zusammenhang auch möglich, auf den Gegenstand zunächst weitere Außenschichten, zum Beispiel transparente oder farbige Lackschichten mit bestimmten gestalterischen Elemente aufzutragen, bevor in dem Bereich der aufzubringenden Information die einfarbige Untergrundschicht und darauf die gleichfarbige strukturierte Zwischenschicht aufgetragen wird. Wesentlich ist insoweit nur, dass der gleichfarbige Untergrund durch die Aussparungen der strukturierten Zwischenschicht sichtbar bleibt.On the one hand, it is possible to apply such a gray background layer as a further intermediate layer in the printing process in front of the structured intermediate layer on the object. On the other hand, z. Example, if the object itself is extensively painted or printed over a whole area or printed and at least in the field of information to be applied has a printed in the color of the structured intermediate layer field, or if such a field is integrated in any other way in the article, the structured intermediate layer directly on the object or its outermost coating to be printed. Of course, in this context, it is also possible to apply further outer layers, for example transparent or colored lacquer layers, with certain design elements to the article, before applying the monochromatic background layer and subsequently the same-colored structured intermediate layer in the region of the information to be applied. It is essential in this respect only that the same colored background remains visible through the recesses of the structured intermediate layer.

Bei einer zweiten bevorzugten Ausführungsform wird die Strukturierung der Zwischenschicht nicht unmittelbar mit dem Auftragen der Zwischenschicht auf den Gegenstand erzeugt, sondern anschließend in einem separaten Arbeitsschritt. Es werden zunächst zumindest zwei Zwischenschichten auf den Gegenstand aufgebracht, insbesondere gedruckt, in die anschließend Aussparungen so eingebracht werden, dass sie außerhalb derjenigen Bereiche der Zwischenschichten liegen, die in einem späteren Arbeitsschritt mit der zu sichernden Information bedruckt werden. Diese Aussparungen erstrecken sich über zumindest zwei nacheinander aufgebrachte Zwischenschichten, die insofern im wesentlichen gleich strukturier sind.In a second preferred embodiment, the structuring of the intermediate layer is not produced directly with the application of the intermediate layer to the article, but subsequently in a separate working step. At least two intermediate layers are first applied to the article, in particular printed, into which recesses are subsequently introduced so that they lie outside those regions of the intermediate layers which are printed in a later step with the information to be protected. These recesses extend over at least two successively applied intermediate layers, which are essentially structurally the same.

Die Strukturierung ist auf den Zwischenschichten vorzugsweise so angeordnet, dass sie den Bereich konturartig zusammenhängend umschließt, auf den die zu sichernde Information aufgedruckt wird. Vorzugsweise werden die Aussparungen nach dem Auftragen der Zwischenschichten ausgestanzt. Nach dem Aufbringen der zu sichernden Information kann die Stanzung von der Abdeckschicht aufgefüllt werden oder auch ungefüllt bleiben. Da sich die Materialien der Zwischenschichten und der Abdeckschicht in ihren Materialeigenschaften unterscheiden, wirkt die Stanzung in jedem Fall als eine Führung für ein zum Abheben der Abdeckschicht angesetztes Skalpell.The structuring is preferably arranged on the intermediate layers in such a way that it encloses the area in contours, on which the information to be protected is printed. Preferably, the recesses are punched out after the application of the intermediate layers. After applying the information to be backed up, the punching can be filled in by the cover layer or even remain unfilled. In any case, since the materials of the intermediate layers and the covering layer differ in their material properties, the punching acts as a guide for a scalpel applied for lifting off the covering layer.

Durch die Stanzungen wird ein solches Skalpell möglichst weit in die Zwischenschichten nach unten, also in Richtung des Gegenstandes, geführt, so dass die zu sichernde Information auf den etwaigen abgehobenen Schichten nicht von unten sichtbar ist. Ein Skalpell wird also in einen Teil der Farb-oder Lackschicht geleitet, der keine Informationen trägt.By the punches such a scalpel as far as possible in the intermediate layers down, ie in the direction of the object, out, so that the information to be backed up on the possible lifted layers is not visible from below. A scalpel is thus directed into a part of the paint or varnish layer, which carries no information.

Grundsätzlich sind beide vorbeschriebenen Ausführungsformen kombinierbar, da die Aussparungen jeweils unterschiedliche Bereiche der Zwischenschichten betreffen. Bei einer kombinierten Ausführungsform werden dann auf den Gegenstand nacheinander z.B. eine herkömmliche Farbschicht und eine strukturierte Farbschicht aufgebracht, in die die zusammenhängende umfängliche Aussparung anschließend eingestanzt wird, bevor oder nachdem die strukturierte Farbschicht mit der zu druckenden Information versehen wurde.In principle, both embodiments described above can be combined, since the recesses in each case relate to different regions of the intermediate layers. In a combined embodiment, the article is then sequentially transferred to e.g. a conventional ink layer and a structured ink layer applied, in which the contiguous circumferential recess is then punched before or after the structured ink layer has been provided with the information to be printed.

Figur 1 zeigt eine Anordnung 1, bestehend aus einem Gegenstand 2 und einem darauf angeordneten, flächenmäßig kleineren Rubbelfeld 3, wobei der Gegenstand 2, auf dem Information 4 gesichert aufgebracht ist, eine Wertkarte ist, zum Beispiel eine vorbezahlte Telefonkarte (prepaid-Karte). Ebenso gut kann als Gegenstand jedes beliebige andere Wertdokument bzw. jeder Wertgegenstand verwendet werden. In einer Draufsicht umfasst die Anordnung 1 ein auf der Wertkarte 2 angebrachtes Rubbelfeld 3, das als undurchsichtige Abdeckschicht auf einen auf die Wertkarte 2 aufgedruckten Schichtaufbau 8, 9 aufgebracht ist. Die undurchsichtige Abdeckschicht des Rubbelfeldes 3 der Wertkarte 2 kann leicht mit einem Fingernagel oder einem anderen geeigneten Gegenstand weggerubbelt werden, um eine darunter liegende Information 4 freizulegen. Die unter dem Rubbelfeld 3 befindlichen Schichten 8, 9 sind in Figur 1 aus Illustrationszwecken (strichliniert) dargestellt. Sie sind in der Draufsicht einer unbenutzten Karte vollständig durch das Rubbelfeld 3 verdeckt. FIG. 1 shows an assembly 1, consisting of an object 2 and arranged on it, smaller area scratcher 3, wherein the object 2, on the information 4 is applied secured, is a prepaid card, for example, a prepaid card (prepaid card). Just as well, any other value document or value object can be used as the object. In a top view, the arrangement 1 comprises a scratch-off field 3 which is applied to the prepaid card 2 and is applied as an opaque cover layer to a layer structure 8, 9 printed on the prepaid card 2. The opaque covering layer of the scratch-off field 3 of the prepaid card 2 can be easily rubbed away with a fingernail or other suitable object to expose underlying information 4. The layers 8, 9 located under the scratching field 3 are in FIG. 1 for illustrative purposes (dashed lines). They are completely hidden in the top view of an unused card by the scratch box 3.

Figur 3 zeigt den Schichtaufbau der Anordnung 1 im Querschnitt. Zum Herstellen der Wertkarte 2 wird ein Kartenträger 5 aus einem geeigneten Kunststoff mit einem vorzugsweise vollflächigen Farbdruck 6, vorzugsweise einem Vierfarbdruck, bedruckt, um der Wertkarte 2 eine bestimmte farbliche Gestaltung zu verleihen. In dem Bereich, in dem später die Information 4 auf die Wertkarte 2 aufgetragen werden soll, wird anstelle einer Farbgestaltung ein einfarbiges graues Feld 12 aufgedruckt, das vorzugsweise etwa 5,5 x 40 mm groß ist. Über die Farbschicht 6,12 wird gegebenenfalls noch eine schützende Lackschicht 7, vorzugsweise aus einem Hochglanzlack, über die gesamte Wertkarte 2 aufgetragen. Damit ist die Wertkarte 2 in Form einer Kunststoffkarte vollständig hergestellt. Auf das graue Feld werden nun weitere Schichten 8, 9 und die zu sichernde Information 4, sowie das abschließende Rubbelfeld 3 aufgetragen. FIG. 3 shows the layer structure of the arrangement 1 in cross section. To produce the value card 2, a card carrier 5 made of a suitable plastic with a preferably full-surface color printing 6, preferably a four-color printing, printed to give the value card 2 a particular color scheme. In the area in which the information 4 is to be applied to the prepaid card 2 later, instead of a color design, a monochrome gray field 12 is printed, which is preferably about 5.5 × 40 mm in size. If necessary, a protective lacquer layer 7, preferably of a high-gloss lacquer, is applied over the entire value card 2 via the color layer 6, 12. Thus, the value card 2 in the form of a Plastic card completely made. On the gray field now more layers 8, 9 and the information to be backed up 4, as well as the final scratching field 3 are applied.

Die Figuren 1 und 2 zeigen separat zwei kombinierbare Ausführungsformen der vorliegenden Erfindung, während Figur 3 den Schichtaufbau einer kombinierten Ausführungsform skizziert.The Figures 1 and 2 show separately two combinable embodiments of the present invention, while FIG. 3 outlined the layer structure of a combined embodiment.

Die strukturierte Farbschicht 9 der Figur 1 ist als regelmäßiges Rautenmuster auf die Wertkarte 2 aufgetragen. Aussparungen 10 zwischen den Rauten des Rautenmusters sind vorzugsweise 0,5 mm breit. Beispeisweise wird die strukturierte Farbschicht 9 mittels eines Offset-Verfahrens auf den Gegenstand 2 bzw. auf die darunter liegende weitere Schicht 8 aufgetragen. Die Aussparungen 10 der strukturierten Farbschicht 9 lassen entsprechende Bereiche der unter ihr befindlichen Schicht 8 frei. Die unter der strukturierten Farbschicht 9 auf der Wertkarte 2 aufgetragene Schicht 8 ist optional und durch die Aussparungen 10 sichtbar. Die Schicht 8 kann entweder eine weitere Farbschicht sein, die vorzugsweise die gleiche Farbe aufweist wie die strukturierte Farbschicht 9 selbst, oder eine Lackschicht sein, beispielsweise aus einem UV-Lack oder einem anderen geeigneten Lack. Falls die strukturierte Farbschicht 9 ohne die Schicht 8 direkt auf die Wertkarte 2 aufgebracht wird, ist durch deren Aussparungen 10 das graue Feld 12 der Wertkarte 2 sichtbar, da die schützende Lackschicht 7 in der Regel transparent ist. Es ist bei dieser Ausführungsform darauf zu achten, dass die durch die Aussparungen 10 der strukturierten Farbschicht 9 sichtbare darunter liegende Schicht oder Fläche die gleiche Farbe besitzt, wie die strukturierte Farbschicht 9, unabhängig davon, ob eine weitere Farbschicht 8 oder das in die Wertkarte 2 integrierte Feld 12 sichtbar ist. Durch die Verwendung gleicher Farben ist die strukturierte Schicht 9 bei einem Manipulationsversuch nur sehr schwer von der darunter liegenden Schicht zu unterscheiden.The structured ink layer 9 of FIG. 1 is plotted as a regular diamond pattern on the value card 2. Recesses 10 between the diamonds of the diamond pattern are preferably 0.5 mm wide. As an example, the structured ink layer 9 is applied to the object 2 or to the underlying further layer 8 by means of an offset process. The recesses 10 of the structured ink layer 9 leave corresponding areas of the layer 8 underneath free. The layer 8 applied to the prepaid card 2 under the structured ink layer 9 is optional and visible through the recesses 10. The layer 8 can either be a further color layer, which preferably has the same color as the structured color layer 9 itself, or a lacquer layer, for example of a UV lacquer or another suitable lacquer. If the structured ink layer 9 is applied directly to the prepaid card 2 without the layer 8, the gray area 12 of the prepaid card 2 is visible through its recesses 10, since the protective lacquer layer 7 is generally transparent. It should be noted in this embodiment, that the visible through the recesses 10 of the structured ink layer 9 underlying layer or surface has the same color as the structured ink layer 9, regardless of whether a further ink layer 8 or in the prepaid card. 2 integrated box 12 is visible. By using the same Colors is the structured layer 9 in a manipulation attempt very difficult to distinguish from the underlying layer.

Die Farbschicht 9 kann abweichend von dem dargestellten Rautenmuster beliebig strukturiert werden, beispielsweise durch reguläre oder zufällige Muster oder geometrische Figuren. Wichtig ist jedoch, dass durch die Strukturierung die zu schützende Information 4 so in verschiedenen Ebenen des Schichtaufbaus zu liegen kommt, dass die vollständige Information 4 aus der Kenntnis nur einer Schicht nicht rekonstruiert werden kann.The color layer 9 can be structured differently than the illustrated diamond pattern, for example by regular or random patterns or geometric figures. It is important, however, that due to the structuring, the information 4 to be protected comes to lie in different levels of the layer structure in such a way that the complete information 4 can not be reconstructed from the knowledge of only one layer.

Auf die strukturierte Farbschicht 9 wird die zu sichernde Information 4, beispielsweise ein Zahlencode, eine PIN-Nummer oder eine sonstige Kodierung ebenfalls als Farbschicht aufgedruckt. Die Strukturierung der Farbschicht 9 führt dazu, dass die Information 4 teilweise auf den erhabenen Strukturen der strukturierten Farbschicht 9 liegt und teilweise in die Aussparungen 10 gelangt und auf der darunter liegenden weiteren Farb- bzw. Lackschicht 8 oder der Lackschicht 7 der Wertkarte 2 zu liegen kommt. In jedem Falle wird die Information 4 auf verschiedene Ebenen des Schichtaufbaus gemäß ihrer Strukturierung verteilt, so dass durch ein missbräuchliches Freilegen bzw. Abziehen einer der Schichten die Information in jedem Falle nur teilweise freigelegt wird. Selbstverständlich können auch mehrere strukturierte Schichten aufgedruckt werden, um die Information 4 auf mehr als zwei Ebenen zu verteilen. Nach dem Auftragen der Information 4 wird das eigentliche Rubbelfeld 3 in Form einer Abdeckschicht aufgetragen, wobei die Abdeckschicht auch die Aussparungen 10 füllt, so dass bei einem Manipulationsversuch mittels eines Skalpells, das zwischen der Abdeckschicht 3 und der strukturierten Farbschicht 9 angesetzt wird, in die Aussparungen 10 gedruckte Teilbereiche der Information 4 verborgen bleiben. Beim Abrubbeln des Rubbelfeldes 3 wird dagegen die komplette Information 4 lesbar freigelegt.The information 4 to be protected, for example a numerical code, a PIN number or another coding, is likewise printed as a color layer on the structured ink layer 9. The structuring of the ink layer 9 causes the information 4 lies partially on the raised structures of the structured ink layer 9 and partially enters the recesses 10 and lie on the underlying further color or lacquer layer 8 or the lacquer layer 7 of the prepaid card 2 comes. In any case, the information 4 is distributed to different levels of the layer structure according to their structuring, so that the information in each case is only partially exposed by an abusive exposure or stripping of one of the layers. Of course, several structured layers can be printed to distribute the information 4 on more than two levels. After the application of the information 4, the actual scratch-off field 3 is applied in the form of a cover layer, wherein the cover layer also fills the recesses 10, so that in a manipulation attempt by means of a scalpel, which is set between the cover layer 3 and the structured ink layer 9, in the Recesses 10 printed portions of the information 4 remain hidden. When scrubbing of the scratch field 3, however, the complete information 4 is readably exposed.

Bei der in Figur 2 dargestellten Ausführungsform werden zumindest zwei Schichten 8, 9 gleichartig durch eine beide Schichten durchdringende Stanzung 11 strukturiert. Die Stanzung 11 verläuft vorzugsweise am Rand des späteren Rubbelfeldes 3 und umschließt den Bereich der zu sichernden Information 4. Nach dem abschließenden Auftragen der Abdeckschicht des Rubbelfeldes 3 sind, wie in Figur 3 gezeigt, die Stanzungen 11 mit der Abdeckschicht bzw. einem hierfür verwendeten Klebstoff gefüllt.At the in FIG. 2 In the embodiment shown, at least two layers 8, 9 are similarly structured by a punching 11 penetrating both layers. The punching 11 preferably runs on the edge of the later scratch-off field 3 and surrounds the area of the information to be protected 4. After the final application of the covering layer of the scratch-off field 3, as shown in FIG FIG. 3 shown, the punches 11 filled with the cover layer or an adhesive used for this purpose.

Die Funktion der Stanzung 11 besteht darin, bei einem missbräuchlichen Versuch, das Rubbelfeld 3 mit einem Skalpell abzuheben, das Skalpell so tief wie möglich in den Schichtaufbau auf der Wertkarte 2 hineinzuleiten, so dass nach Möglichkeit erstens die Schichten irreversibel und sichtbar beschädigt werden und sich zweitens die Information 4 vollständig in dem abgehobenen Anteil des Schichtaufbaus befindet und unzugänglich ist. Bei dieser Ausführungsform ist es notwendig, dass zumindest zwei, vorzugsweise im Offsetdruck aufgetragene, Schichten 8, 9 gleichartig strukturiert sind, wobei die eingestanzten Aussparungen 11 die unterste der Schichten 8 nicht notwendigerweise vollständig durchdringen müssen, während bei der in Figur 1 dargestellten Ausführungsform lediglich die obere Schicht 9 strukturiert sein muss.The function of the punch 11 is in an abusive attempt to lift the scratching field 3 with a scalpel, the scalpel as deeply as possible in the layer structure on the ticket 2 inferred, so that, if possible, first, the layers are irreversibly and visibly damaged and second, the information 4 is completely in the off-set portion of the layer structure and is inaccessible. In this embodiment, it is necessary for at least two layers 8, 9, preferably applied in offset printing, to be structured in a similar manner, wherein the stamped-out recesses 11 do not necessarily have to penetrate completely completely through the bottommost of the layers 8, whereas in FIG FIG. 1 illustrated embodiment, only the upper layer 9 must be structured.

Bei der in Figur 3 gezeigten kombinierten Ausführungsform ist die Farbschicht 9 durch Muster bildende Aussparungen 10 und eine umlaufende, gestanzte Aussparung 11 strukturiert, während die darunter liegende Farbschicht 8 lediglich die Stanzung 11 aufweist.At the in FIG. 3 shown combined embodiment, the ink layer 9 is patterned by pattern-forming recesses 10 and a circumferential, punched recess 11, while the underlying ink layer 8 has only the punch 11.
