Definitions
- the invention relates to a security element with an optically variable structure, which has an embossed structure.
- the embossed structure is combined with a coating contrasting with the surface of the security element in such a way that at least partial regions of the coating are visible when viewed from a first viewing angle range, but are obscured when viewed under a second viewing angle range.
- a data carrier with an optically variable element which consists of an embossed structure and a coating in the form of a printed image or line screen.
- the embossed structure or the coating are in this case supplemented by a partial change in their structure so that either an amplification of the already known optically variable effect occurs or at least one further visually recognizable effect occurs.
- the optically variable element is visually recognizable, but can not be reproduced by means of copiers due to its optically variable properties. Copying devices can only reproduce a single viewing direction, so that the optically variable effect, ie the recognizability of different information under different viewing directions, is lost.
- the known optically variable element can thus serve as copy protection.
- WO 02/20280 A1 discloses an optically variable structure which consists of a coating and an embossed structure superimposed on this coating.
- the entire coating and provided with embossing region is divided into subregions / in which the entire surface of either the coating or the embossment may be varied uniformly.
- the other part is the same in all sub-areas, ie it has the same laws in all sub-areas.
- Different partial embossing structures in the sense of WO 02/20280 A1 suggest, for example, if the partial embossing structures in the individual subregions are arranged in phase offset from one another, have different grid widths or are oriented differently, ie the partial embossing structures are at an angle to one another. Furthermore, the partial embossing structures in the individual subregions can also be arranged offset to one another, the direction of progression of the embossed embossing structures remaining the same.
- the invention has for its object to improve the known security elements and in particular to increase the protection against counterfeiting on.
- the invention in this case comprises both a security element, a data carrier with a security element and an embossing tool for producing a security element.
- the data carrier here is in particular a value document, such as a banknote, a security, a credit a dit, debit or ID card, a passport, a certificate and the like, a label, packaging or other item for product assurance.
- the optically variable structure has at least one second embossing structure, which is arranged within the first embossing structure and, in addition to the first tilting effect, generates a second tilting effect.
- the second tilting effect preferably occurs either within the first or second viewing angle range of the first tilting effect or during the transition from the first to the second or from the second to the first viewing angle range of the first tilting effect.
- the second embossing structure is arranged on the first embossing structure in such a way that it is visible within the first or second viewing angle range and hardly or not visible within the respective other viewing angle range.
- An observer who views the security element according to the invention from the viewing angle range in which the second embossing structure is barely visible or not visible thus sees only the first embossing structure. From the other viewing angle range, however, the observer additionally sees the second embossing structure and, when the security element is tilted about a second axis, which is different from the first axis, the second tilting effect.
- the at least one second embossing structure particularly preferably consists of second embossing elements, which are attached at a certain angle to a flank of the first embossing elements.
- the second embossing elements thus protrude stubby with a certain angle from an edge of the first embossing elements and cause on this side of the first embossing elements the second tilting effect.
- the angle at which the second embossing elements are attached to an edge of the first embossing elements in this case corresponds to the angle between the first axis of the first tilting effect and the second axis of the second tilting effect.
- the first and second embossed structures are designed as raster structures and particularly preferably as a line raster with constant raster width, with a cross-sectional area which is in particular triangular, trapezoidal, sinusoidal or semicircular, and preferably have the shape of three-dimensional line / wave lines. or similar structures, such as Reliefs, in a substrate.
- the second embossed structures need not necessarily have the same cross-sectional area as the first embossed structures.
- the first embossed structures may have a triangular cross-sectional area, whereas the cross-sectional area of the second embossing elements is semicircular.
- the at least one second embossing structure is introduced into the first embossing elements by a partial change in the geometry of the first embossing elements.
- the first embossing elements preferably have a modulation of the height in the longitudinal or transverse direction, the width or the inclination of the flanks, wherein the modulation of the width or the inclination of the flanks can be carried out on one or both sides of a stamping element.
- the second tilting effect occurs in the areas in which the second embossing structure is located, in addition to the first tilting effect.
- the first embossing elements may consist of two flanks arranged in wedge-like fashion, which have different colors, and the second embossing structure is designed as a notch-like indentation on the tip of the wedge in the longitudinal direction of the tip.
- the flanks of the indentation in turn have a color that contrast with that of the adjacent flank of the first embossing elements.
- the first and second embossed structures are preferably designed as blind embossing.
- Blind embossings are produced in a printing process using a steel gravure printing plate. During the printing process, the paper is pressed into the recesses of the blind embossing areas and in this way permanently deformed.
- the blank embossing areas of the printing plates unlike print image areas, are not filled with color, so that the substrate material of the security document only sustainably deforms, ie embosses, in these areas.
- blind embossing with corresponding dimensions can also be detected tactilely.
- the blind embossing is also referred to as halftone blind embossing.
- blind embossing can also be produced by means of thermal processes.
- a substrate made of plastic is thermally deformed by the action of heat, with finer structures can be displayed than with paper substrate.
- This method is used in particular for plastic banknotes or debit cards, debit cards, credit cards, SIM cards, customer cards or the like.
- the first and second embossed structures are designed as an ink-carrying embossing.
- the optically variable effect of the security element is retained, although an ink-bearing embossing is used instead of the blind embossing.
- the optically variable structure has, at least in some areas, a second coating which likewise contrasts with the data carrier surface and which is arranged congruently with the raised regions of the embossed structure.
- the second coating offers the advantage that the embossed structure is stabilized without additional printing.
- the security element of this type has the advantage that it can be integrated into a gravure printing motif and thus into the color and representational design of a surrounding motif.
- the engraving lines of the printing plate are filled with paint.
- the excess color is A wiper cylinder or a squeegee so from the pressure plate that the engraving lines are filled to the edge with color.
- the printing medium to be printed generally paper
- the disk is thereby pressed into the filled with color engraving lines of the printing plate and thus comes into contact with the ink.
- the printed image produced in this way has printing lines which vary depending on the depth of the engraving in the ink layer thickness.
- the disk is in this case pressed so strong into the wells of the printing plate, that it not only receives the color from the wells, but is also coined.
- the embossing structures have line-shaped embossing elements, which may preferably be straight, but also wavy and / or curved.
- a line-shaped embossing element is produced by a channel-like recess in the embossing plate or the embossing cylinder.
- the recess is designed in cross-section such that embossing elements with at least two opposite flanks arise and each of these flanks is visible from different directions.
- two flanks are created, which are both visible when viewed vertically. When viewed obliquely, only one flank is visible because the other flank is obscured by the opposite visible flank. With alternating vertical and oblique viewing, a tilting effect is created.
- the linear grid structure of the coating and the line-shaped embossing elements are aligned parallel to each other, so that on one flank of the embossed structure lines of one color and on the other flank lines of a different color are arranged. If a viewer thus looks at the optically variable structure at an angle, he sees one of the two colors depending on the viewing direction, he looks vertically at the optically variable structure, he sees both colors. The interaction of coating and embossed structure thus creates a tilting effect with a color change.
- the embossing structures have non-linear embossing elements, as are known, in particular, from WO 2006/018232 A1.
- Non-linear embossing elements have flanks of planar and / or curved surfaces, in particular the shape of n-sided pyramids, tetrahedrons, truncated pyramids, cylindrical sections, cones, conic sections, paraboloids, polyhedra, cuboids, prism spherical cutouts, spherical sections, spherical segments, hemispheres, barrel bodies or Tori.
- the nonlinear embossing elements can also be designed as a so-called split torus, the tous being divided parallel to the plane in which the large radius of the torus lies. Particular preference is given to using knob-shaped embossing elements in the form of spherical sections, or three- or four-sided pyramids.
- Non-linear embossing elements have the advantage that more than two pieces of information can be accommodated in the optically variable element in a simple manner, which are visible at different viewing angles, since the non-linear embossing elements have a plurality of flanks on which the information or parts of the information can be arranged specifically and separated from each other.
- the first and / or second embossing structures and / or the contrasting coating have at least one information that is formed by the contour lines of the embossed or printed areas.
- This information tion is in the form of a graphic and / or alphanumeric image and represents, for example, a number, a letter, a portrait, an animal, a plant, a landscape or a building.
- the height and / or lateral dimension of the embossed structures must be more than 30 ⁇ m, in particular because of the roughness of banknote paper.
- the at least one second embossed structure is divided into individual subregions, wherein the second embossed structure acts as additional information.
- This can, depending on the design, individual partial areas u.a. cover, highlight, matt or shadow. With the same arrangement, this has a clear information-supporting, by a rejuvenating or disharmonic arrangement, this may favor a tipping effect.
- the coating is preferably carried out in the form of a flat single or multi-color print.
- the multicolor print in this case particularly preferably consists of a line pattern in which the lines directly adjoin one another or are spaced from one another.
- a blanket line pattern is preferably applied to the data carrier from an alternating sequence of three lines in the colors cyan, magenta and yellow.
- the color of the substrate of the data carrier forms one of the lines of the line pattern. Both options can also be combined. If, for example, an alternating sequence of two contiguous lines in the colors cyan and yellow is printed on a magenta substrate, with a gap between each pair of lines, the substrate forms the "missing" third line of the sequence.
- the lines of the individual colors are successively printed on the substrate of the data carrier.
- first all lines of a first color are printed, in a second printing all lines of a second color, in a third printing all lines of a third color, etc.
- a separate printing plate or a separate printing cylinder is used the appropriate color is applied and then printed on the substrate of the disk.
- all colors can also be printed on the substrate of the data carrier in a single printing process.
- the individual colors are successively or simultaneously applied to a single printing plate or a single printing cylinder and then printed on the substrate of the data carrier.
- the printing is done by conventional printing methods, i. especially in planographic printing, such.
- high pressure e.g. in letterpress or flexographic printing, screen printing, gravure printing, e.g. in gravure or intaglio printing, or in a Therm conductingverfah- ren, such as in the thermal transfer method.
- printing inks are preferably used, which are completely opaque.
- Printing inks which have a high glaze behavior ie printing inks which consist of translucent paints with a certain proportion of color pigments, are also particularly preferably used.
- transparent lacquers which are accompanied by machine-readable features, such as, for example, luminescent substances, electrically conductive particles or IR- or X-ray-absorbing substances.
- the coating with machine-readable features contrast to the surface of the security element, since this does not have the machine-readable features.
- the machine-readable features may also be part of translucent or opaque inks.
- the lines of Beschichrung are designed as straight lines and particularly preferably arranged parallel to each other.
- the lines may also be designed as concentric circles or confocal ellipses or have oval, wavy or any other shapes.
- a combination of several of these embodiments is possible.
- the at least one second embossed structure can also be combined with a second coating which contrasts with the surface of the data carrier.
- the first and on the second embossed structure the second Beschichrung mounted.
- the viewer When viewing the second embossed structure, the viewer thus recognizes additional information which is arranged within the coating of the first embossed structure.
- the Beschichrung is matched to the first and second embossing structure.
- colors or patterns can be selectively separated, amplified, attenuated or deformed in oblique view and thus additional additional information can be generated. In the plan view or when viewing the opposite edge this additional information remains hidden.
- the coating and the embossed structures are preferably applied with the same spatial frequency, ie the grid width of the embossed structures and the coating is the same. But it is also possible to use only similar local To use frequencies to produce beating or moire effects, or to completely dispense with the relationship of the spatial frequencies. As a result, further optical effects can be produced which only become visible when viewing the element from different angles or at different angles of incidence of light.
- the two process steps embossing and printing for the production of the optically variable structure can be carried out in any order.
- only the embossed structure can be introduced into the substrate of the data carrier and then the coating can be printed or, conversely, the coating is first printed and then the embossed structure is introduced into the substrate of the data carrier.
- both method steps can take place simultaneously in a common method step.
- the information introduced by the embossing and the coating on the security element may e.g. consist of letters and / or numbers, but also any symbols, graphic elements or graphics, images, ID or 2D codes or other patterns.
- the substrate of the security element used can be single-layered or multi-layered and be coated on one or more layers, printed, pasted, laminated, laminated or otherwise treated on its surface or in the substrate. Furthermore, further (also machine-readable) security substances can be applied or applied in and / or on the substrate, which can be activated, covered, partially destroyed or removed when the first and / or second tilt image is generated. These further security substances preferably produce a further tilt image.
- the security element can consist of any substrate suitable for intaglio printing. Particularly preferred are paper and paper-like substrates. There are no conditions attached to the type of paper, so that usual papers of fibers of annual plants, in particular cotton fibers or cellulose fibers, can be used.
- papers which at least partially consist of synthetic fibers, preferably polyamide fibers, ie which contain a proportion of polymeric material in the range from 0 to 100% by weight.
- the paper can also be combined on one or both sides with plastic films.
- the paper layer usually has a weight of 50 g / m 2 to 100 g / m 2 , preferably 70 g / m 2 to 90 g / m 2 . Of course, depending on the application, any suitable weight can be used.
- the paper can be processed in one layer or in several layers. For multi-ply paper, the paper layers may consist of the same or different types of paper and in turn be combined with plastic films
- the substrate material is a plastic film, for. B. a polyester film is.
- the film may also be monoaxially or biaxially stretched. The stretching of the film, inter alia, leads to it receiving polarizing properties that can be used as another security feature.
- polarizing properties such as polarization filters, are known to the person skilled in the art.
- the film may also be formed as a patch covering a partial area of the substrate or as a strip extending over the entire length or width of the security document.
- the materials used for the film are primarily plastics, in particular PET (polyethylene terephthalate). phthalate), PBT (polybutylene terephthalate), PEN (polyethylene naphthalate), PP (polypropene), PA (polyamide), PE (polyethylene).
- the film may also be monoaxially or biaxially stretched.
- the substrate material is a multilayer composite which has at least one layer of paper or a paper-like material.
- a composite is characterized by an extraordinarily high stability, which is of great advantage for the durability of the security feature and moreover increases the security against counterfeiting.
- All materials used as substrate material may have additives that serve as a mark of authenticity. It is primarily to think of luminescent, which are preferably transparent in the visible wavelength range and in the non-visible wavelength range by a suitable tool, for. B. a UV or IR radiation emitting radiation source can be excited to produce a visible or at least detectable with auxiliary luminescence. Other security features can be used with advantage, as long as they do not affect the viewing of the imprint or only slightly.
- the tilt image elements there may be further layers representing a pattern or image, but substantially flat or adapted to the existing grid of the tilt image. In this way, the observer's eye may be distracted from the actual tilting information when viewed evenly, which then only becomes apparent when tilted.
- the steepness of the flanks and of the first and second embossing elements influences the tear behavior of the substrate.
- the steeper the respective flanks are executed the stronger the substrate is embossed and elongated in this area, so that reduction of the thickness of the substrate and thus of the tear behavior occurs.
- the angle between the longitudinal direction of the first embossing structure and the printing cylinder of the printing press influences the risk of paper damage during the production of the security element.
- an angle of 0 ° i. the longitudinal direction of the first embossing structure is aligned parallel to the printing cylinder, a special risk of paper damage.
- the security element e.g. a banknote
- an angle of about 10 ° or about 45 ° is applied.
- the embossing structures according to the invention are produced by means of an embossing tool having first depressions into which at least partially second depressions are introduced.
- the second recesses are either introduced into the first recesses by a partial change in the geometry of the first recesses or attached at a certain angle respectively to an edge of the first recesses, so that they correspond with the corresponding embossing structures of the security element.
- the embossing tool is an embossing die or a printing plate, in particular a intaglio printing plate whose recesses are designed as engraving in the surface of the embossing tool.
- the cross-sectional area of the engravings here is triangular, trapezoidal, sinusoidal or semicircular.
- the first and second recesses are introduced into the surface of the stamping tool with a gravure stylus and / or with a laser and / or with an etching method in separate operations or in one operation.
- the depth of the depressions is about 50% of the width of the depressions, in particular 10 ⁇ m to 250 ⁇ m, preferably 50 ⁇ m to 120 ⁇ m and particularly preferably 60 ⁇ m to 100 ⁇ m.
- the engraving tool is responsible for the edge steepness.
- the right flank can be machined with a separate tool which has a steep angle, and the left flank can be given a wide, flat flank outlet with a flat tool.
- the essential advantage of the invention is the provision of integrated additional information in the form of a second tilting effect, which is generated by a second embossing structure within the flanks or on the flanks of the first embossing elements.
- This additional information can additionally be supported by a suitable arrangement of the coating.
- a clear assignment of a second information thus takes place within the embossing geometry of the first embossed structure. Due to the special construction of the coating and the second embossed structure within the first embossed structure, a viewer perceives a change in the interaction with respect to the surroundings.
- security elements for data carriers are thus created which combine two tilting effects and can be produced under the machine and speed specifications of a typical printing works.
- the security element according to the invention serves, in particular, to increase the security against forgery of value documents, such as banknotes, checks, shares, identity cards, entrance tickets, tickets, certificates, credit cards, check cards and the like.
- value documents such as banknotes, checks, shares, identity cards, entrance tickets, tickets, certificates, credit cards, check cards and the like.
- optically variable structure according to the invention can in particular be combined with any other security feature within a value document.
- the optically variable structure according to the invention may be attached, for example, over a security thread, combined with a hologram or other diffractive structures or arranged alongside or overlapping with other optically variable structures.
- FIG. 1 shows an optically variable structure according to the invention, which consists of a first embossed structure, in which a second embossed structure is introduced,
- FIG. 3 shows a combination of coating and embossing structure using the example of a large-area arrangement of first embossing elements
- Fig. 1 shows an optically variable structure according to the invention, which consists of first embossing elements 1, in which a second embossing pattern is introduced.
- a single first embossing element 1 has a triangular cross-sectional area, so that the embossing element 1 assumes the shape of a horizontal wedge with two oblique flanks. In particular, the two flanks have different colors.
- the second embossed structure 2 is introduced into the first embossing element 1 by a partial change in the geometry of the first embossing element 1.
- the second embossing structure 2 is introduced as a modulation of the height of the first embossing element 1 in the longitudinal direction.
- the upper edge of the first embossing element 1 in this case has wave-shaped indentations, so that in the region of the indentations, the inclination of the flanks is reduced. If light falls vertically from above onto the first embossing element 1, it encounters flanks of differing degrees and is therefore reflected in different angular ranges.
- the tilt effect when tilting the safety element Mentes about the longitudinal axis of the first embossing element 1 thus fails different degrees along the longitudinal axis.
- the second embossed structure 2 is introduced as a modulation of the height of the first embossing element 1 in the transverse direction.
- the upper edge of the first embossing element 1 is flattened.
- This flattened area may e.g. have a different color than the flanks, so that appears on tilting of the security element about the longitudinal axis of the first embossing element 1 in addition to the tilting effect of the flanks in plan view of the flattened area of its color.
- the second embossing structure 2 is designed as a notch-like indentation at the tip of the wedge in the longitudinal direction of the tip.
- the embossed structure 2 in this case forms a longitudinal groove parallel to the upper edge of the first embossing element 1.
- the flanks of the indentation or longitudinal groove have a color which contrasts with that of the adjacent flank of the first embossing element 1.
- the second embossing structure consists of second embossing elements 3, 4, 5, or 6 which are attached at a specific angle to a flank of the first embossing element 1, respectively.
- the second embossing element can be configured as an example
- wedge-shaped embossing element 4 according to FIG. 1e, which stands on its cross-sectional area and adjoins the first embossing element with a flank,
- the second embossing elements 3, 4, 5, or 6 can be arranged with their longitudinal axis perpendicular, such as e.g. shown in Fig. Ig, or may be arranged obliquely at an arbitrary angle to the longitudinal axis of the first embossing element 1.
- FIG. 2 shows a combination of coating and embossing structure on the example of three first embossing elements 1.
- the upper illustration of FIG. 2a and FIG. 2b shows the coating
- the middle image shows the combination of coating and embossing structure in side view
- the lower illustration the combination of coating and embossing structure in oblique view from above.
- the coating is shown in FIG. 2a as continuous strips 8, which are aligned parallel to the longitudinal axis of the first embossing elements 1, and as interrupted strips 7, which are aligned parallel to the longitudinal axis of the second embossing elements 4, executed.
- the broken strips 7 are printed on a flank of the second embossing elements 2 and the continuous strips 8 are printed on that flank of the first embossing elements 1, which is opposite to the second embossing elements 4.
- the coating can also be designed as continuous strips 9 according to FIG. 2 b, which are aligned parallel to the longitudinal axis of the second embossing elements 4.
- the continuous strips 8 are printed without a gap on one side of the flanks of the second embossing elements 2, the flank of the first embossing elements 1, which is opposite to the second embossing elements 4, remains free.
- FIG. 3 shows a combination of coating and embossing structure using the example of a large-area arrangement of first embossing elements according to FIG. 2a.
- a coating in the form of a background printing 10 is assigned a first embossing structure in the form of first embossing elements 1.
- the second stamping structure in the form of second stamping elements 4 shows additional information 11, which in this exemplary embodiment is embodied as a rectangle or numeral or letter "I.”
- a continuous horizontal strip 8 can be seen on the flank of the first embossing structure 1 and from the viewing direction B a regularly arranged pattern of interrupted strips 7 and interstices, which is also visible on the flanks of the first Embossed structure 1 arranged second embossed structure 4 continues.
- the regularly arranged pattern of broken strips 7 and intermediate spaces can be recognized on the flank of the first embossing structure 1.
- there is no imprint on the flanks of the second embossed structure as seen from this viewing direction so that a gap in the form of additional information 11 is visible in this area.
- Fig. 5 different embodiments of single and multi-colored coatings are shown.
- the colored Beschichrung is implemented here for reasons of representation in different gray values and hatching.
- the schematic representation may vary in color, filigree elements, e.g. Micro-lines or also points, fragments or special characters.
- an embodiment could represent the black area as the primary color cyan, the gray area magenta and the hatched area yellow.
- a limitation in the colors is theoretically not.
- FIG. 5 a shows a monochromatic coating which is designed as a monochrome strip with a grid spacing X and a width which is smaller than the grid spacing X. No color is applied between the individual strips, so that the color of the substrate emerges in these areas.
- the coating is formed by an alternating sequence of two, in Fig. 5f of three differently colored stripes.
- the grid spacing of the strips is greater than the width of the strips, so there is a gap between the individual strips. In each case no color is applied in the gap between the individual strips, so that the color of the substrate emerges in these areas.
- Fig. 5c and Fig. 5e there is no gap between the individual strips, so that the individual strips adjoin one another.
- the multicolor coating is formed by a monochrome background printing, over which a monochrome line pattern according to FIG. 5a or a multicolored line pattern according to FIG. 5b is printed.
- FIG. 5h and FIG. 5i show a multicolored background printing corresponding to FIG. 5e or FIG. 5f, over which a monochrome strip-shaped coating according to FIG. 5a is printed.
- FIG. 5 shows a coating which is formed from an alternating sequence of strips and pattern elements, such as circles and rectangles.
