Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an identification means comprising a substrate with an optically detectable product identification identifier.
  • RFID Radio Frequency Identification
  • Substantially sheet-like supports suitable for attachment to an article and comprising a substrate having an optically detectable product identification tag are also known in the art.
  • the optically detectable product identification code can in particular be a serial number of the object, by means of which the object or an individual part of an article reliably can be identified, so that a proof of origin can be provided.
  • the known from the prior art sheet-like carrier have the disadvantage that the product identification code is permanently visible and thus no hidden product identifier is possible. Another problem with a permanently visible product identification tag is that it can also be easily copied by an imitator.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide an identification means of the type mentioned above, which allows a concealed product identification in a simple manner and can also be used under difficult environmental conditions.
  • the solution according to the invention is characterized by a coating which covers at least the product identification code and can be detached from the substrate.
  • the peelable coating may include, for example, the name of the manufacturer, the product name, or the like, such that the identification means of the present invention does not give the impression to the user that there may be a hidden product identification mark under the coating.
  • the identification means can be attached to an object that has a hidden product identification code should be provided.
  • the identification means may also be formed integrally with the object.
  • the substrate carrying the product identification tag may thus also be part of the article itself.
  • the product identification identifier which makes possible a proof of origin or identification of the object to which the identification means is attached or with which it is integrally formed, is initially invisible to a viewer after the application of the coating. As a result, a hidden identifier of the object can be achieved in an advantageous manner.
  • the product identification identifier may be, for example, a serial number or the like of the article also deposited with the manufacturer of the article so that identification of the article is possible by comparing the product identification identifier of the article with the product identification code deposited with the manufacturer.
  • the identification means according to the invention can be applied to any part of an object without a user becoming aware of the presence of the hidden product identification code.
  • the identification means according to the invention has the advantage that it can also be used under difficult environmental conditions and provides a forgery-proof identification of an article in a simple manner.
  • the manufacturer of an original product can specifically control the matching of the information by specifying the point where the coating is to be removed and by providing a suitable release means. Only the information disclosed is also accessible to unauthorized persons. Unused identification information is still unrecognizable to unauthorized persons. This represents a significant difference to RFID technology, in which identification information can also be read out unnoticed and thus can also be used without authorization for product imitation. By a clever combination of coating and identification information the conspicuousness of an exposure of the information can be supported.
  • the coating is applied over the entire surface of the substrate.
  • the product identification code is imprinted in the material of the substrate.
  • the printing ink constituting the product identification identifier is water-insoluble.
  • the printing ink from which the product identification code is composed is chemically and mechanically resistant.
  • chemically and mechanically resistant is to be understood in this context that the product identification code can not be removed from the substrate without irreversibly damaging it and thus unusable.
  • the coating by means of which at least the product identification code is covered, can be, for example, an adhesive coating in an advantageous embodiment.
  • the adhesive coating can - at least partially removed again from the substrate - optionally with the aid of a solvent, to the underlying Release product identification tag again.
  • the adhesive coating is not free of damage removable from the substrate.
  • an unauthorized removal of the adhesive coating from the substrate can be recognized later.
  • the coating is an imprint which consists of a chemically dissolvable and / or mechanically removable ink.
  • the product identification code in this embodiment is thus visible to a user again only after a chemical and / or mechanical processing of the imprint.
  • the print can be partially chemically dissolved in sections using a specially suitable solvent and then at least partially removed from the substrate by manual wiping.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment provides that the printing ink, from which the imprint exists, is water-insoluble ,
  • the printing ink, from which the imprint consists can also be a mechanically abradable printing ink in an advantageous embodiment.
  • the imprint can in this embodiment by mechanical abrasion, for example with the aid of a metallic object, are removed, so that the underlying product identification code can be made visible to a user again.
  • the substrate may consist of metal, in particular of aluminum.
  • the identification means 1 comprises a substrate 2, which in the exemplary embodiment shown here has a substantially planar design and is rectangular in shape and is preferably made of metal, in particular of aluminum. At each of the four corner regions, the substrate 2 has a bore 6, through which a fastening means can be passed in each case when attaching the identification means 1 to an object. Alternatively, it can also be provided that the substrate 2 has adhesive, so that it can be adhesively fixed to an object. In a further alternative embodiment, the Substrate 2 also be formed integrally with the object. The substrate 2 can thus also be part of the article itself, which is to be provided with product identification information.
  • the identification means 1 has a marking printing area 3, which for better clarity in Fig. 1 has been provided with a dashed border, but in fact is not provided with such a border.
  • an optically detectable product identification code 4 is applied by printing technology.
  • the product identification code 4 may in particular be a serial number or the like, on the basis of which the article on which the identification means 1 is arranged, for example by comparison with those deposited with the manufacturer of the article Product identification tags can be identified. With the aid of the product identification code 4, it is possible in particular to identify the original origin of the article or to identify an individual part of the article.
  • the product identification code 4 is imprinted in the material of the substrate 2 in the exemplary embodiment shown here.
  • the ink used to make the product identifier 4 is water-insoluble so that it will not peel off upon contact with water.
  • this ink is both chemically and mechanically resistant such that it adheres permanently to the material of the substrate 2.
  • an imprint 5 is produced on the substrate 2 by printing technology, at least in sections, which covers at least the product identification code 4, so that it is subsequently no longer visible.
  • the imprint 5 may, for example, include the name of the manufacturer, the product name or the like, so that the information means 1 with this imprint 5 does not give the impression to a user that under the imprint 5 a hidden product identification code 4 could also be present.
  • the product identification code 4 is no longer visually perceptible to the observer after the printing technology production of the imprint 5.
  • the imprint 5 consists of a printing ink that is insoluble in water so that the imprint 5 can not detach from the substrate 2 under normal environmental conditions (for example, under the influence of precipitation or cleaning).
  • the imprint 5 can be made, for example, from a chemically dissolvable ink.
  • a user therefore only has to chemically dissolve the imprint 5 with a specially suitable solvent and remove it from the substrate 2 at least in sections by means of a subsequent manual wiping. This situation is in Fig. 3 shown. It will be appreciated that the imprint 5 has been partially removed from the substrate 2 so that the product identification mark 4 becomes readable again.
  • the printing ink from which the imprint 5 is produced can also be a mechanically abradable printing ink.
  • the imprint 5 can be at least partially removed from the substrate 2 by mechanical abrasion (for example with the aid of a metallic object), so that the product identification mark 4 can be made visible again. A prior chemical dissolution of the imprint 5 is not required in this variant.
  • the coating by means of which at least the product identification identifier 4 is covered, is a removable adhesive coating.
  • the adhesive coating can be removed from the substrate 2, optionally with the aid of a solvent.
  • the adhesive coating is not removable from the substrate 2 without damage.
  • an unauthorized removal of the adhesive coating from the substrate 2 can also be detected later.
