Definitions

  • the invention relates to a film element for securing an article, in particular a value document, a data carrier or a goods product, wherein the film element has a diffractive relief structure which generates an optically variable effect.
  • the invention further relates to a secured with at least one such film element object.
  • JP 05201182 A describes laminated cards which are provided on one side with printed information or images, wherein a transparent foil element covers the printed information or images and is glued to the card.
  • the foil element protects the printed information or images from unauthorized manipulation.
  • film elements may be formed either by self-supporting laminating films which can be laminated onto an article or be formed by a thin, non-self-supporting transfer layer of a transfer film, which is usually transferred to the article by means of embossing.
  • a transfer film has a carrier film and on the non-self-supporting transfer layer, which is detachable from the carrier film. The transfer film is pressed against the object by means of a stamping tool, whereby a region of the transfer layer adheres to the article. When removing the carrier film from the object to be secured, the pressed-on area of the Transfer layer adhere to the article and forms a thin film element, usually with a film thickness in the range of 3 to 25 microns.
  • a laminating film has a substantially higher film thickness, usually in the range from 15 to 250 ⁇ m.
  • the optically variable effect produced by the diffractive relief structure can manifest itself on the film element in a viewing angle-dependent color change effect and / or contrast change and / or motif change, formation of a holographic or cinematographic representation, etc.
  • the film element is thereby formed in a specific basic form, which in the case of using a transfer film, for example by the outline of the transfer film or the transfer layer, the outline shape and / or the structuring of the embossing tool used or the arrangement of a positioned between the article and the transfer layer adhesive layer Attaching areas of the transfer layer is determined on an object.
  • the basic shape is predetermined by itself or its outline shape.
  • an adhesive layer for attaching it to the article is provided.
  • Usually a round or rectangular basic shape is selected for the film element.
  • the DE 39 32 505 A1 already describes film elements that may have an outline in the form of icons, characters, etc.
  • the known film elements can be imitated or, in certain circumstances, for example by means of transparent adhesive films, can be separated from the article secured therewith without the film element being damaged in order to manipulate information data on the article or complete the article exchange.
  • film elements are, for example, pasted over with the transparent adhesive film and pulled off from the object at least to the extent that manipulation of the information data can take place or a thin sheet with the desired information data can be inserted between the film element and the article secured therewith. Subsequently, the bond between the article and the film element is restored, wherein the transparent film usually remains on the film element.
  • the film member is pasted over with the transparent adhesive film, and the base substrate of an original article is ground off from its back side to obtain the original film member adhered to the front side.
  • the adhesive film is cut to the size of the original film element and the film element is applied to another, non-original object.
  • the object is achieved by a film element for securing an object, in particular a value document, a data carrier or a product, wherein the film element has a diffractive relief structure which produces an optically variable effect, the film element having a basic shape with an outline perpendicular to the film plane, solved, in that pattern-shaped recesses are provided in the region of at least 25% of the outline of the basic shape in the region of the circumference of the film element, which form information superimposed on the basic shape and provide the film element with indentations in the region of the circumference.
  • a notch is an acute or substantially tapered incision or a pointed or substantially tapered film portion in the region of the perimeter of the film member which, in an attempt to dislodge the film member from the article to be secured, cracking and crack propagation across portions of the film Foil element favors, so that a detachment of the film element in one piece, ie without any damage, prevented or at least made more difficult.
  • the incision or foil section (or its longitudinal axis) is preferably oriented perpendicular to the circumference of the foil element in the foil plane, but may also be arranged at an angle thereto.
  • the end of a notch may be pointed or slightly flattened, with the end facing away from the foil member or facing the foil member.
  • a notch can increase the circumference of the film element or be arranged such that it is enclosed on all sides by the film element.
  • a notch surrounded on all sides by the film element can be provided by removing V-shaped or W-shaped parts of the film element, the formed V or W-shaped opening being spaced from the circumference of the film element.
  • the pattern-shaped recesses preferably provide further openings, for example holes or patterns with rounded edges Form edges that do not necessarily have to promote cracking. Such openings are preferably used combined with the notches to form the information.
  • the pattern-shaped recesses in particular form narrow and / or tapered foil areas or foil strips on the circumference of the foil element, which are easily torn or stretched under mechanical stress, such as an unauthorized detachment attempt of the foil element, and thus show visible damage.
  • narrow foil areas with a width in the range of 0.3 to 5 mm are formed by the pattern-shaped recesses.
  • the replica of film elements having such pattern-shaped recesses is possible only with the help of complex system technology.
  • the pattern-shaped recesses on the periphery of the film element form a readable and verifiable information and prevent due to their notch effect in the region of the circumference of the film element effectively unauthorized detachment of a complete, undamaged film element.
  • a detachment of the film element with a transparent adhesive film is therefore no longer feasible, since the adhesive film would have to be cut according to the pattern-shaped recesses.
  • a grinding of the carrier substrate from the back of the article is not feasible due to the specially designed edge of the film element without damaging the edge.
  • the pattern-shaped recesses are provided in the region of at least 40%, more preferably at least 50%, in particular at least 75% of the outline of the basic shape in the region of the circumference of the film element.

  • the pattern-shaped recesses per centimeter outline of the basic shape form at least one notch, preferably at least two notches in the region of the circumference of the film element.
  • the pattern-shaped recesses between 1 and 10, more preferably between 1 and 5 notches per cm outline of the basic shape are formed. This ensures a particularly effective protection of the film element from detachment or imitation.

  • a pictorial representation includes in particular figurative representations, representations from the fields of flora and fauna, architecture, astronomy, sports, technology, etc.
  • the pattern-shaped recesses are at least partially visible to the unaided human eye. This allows a quick and easy control of the film element without technical aids. But it is also advantageous if the pattern-shaped recesses for the unaided human eye are at least partially invisible, so that they can be recognized, for example, only by means of a magnifying glass. Such fine recesses are imitable only with great effort and usually require the use of cost-intensive load technology. A combination of patterned recesses that can be detected with the unaided human eye and those unrecognized with the unaided human eye can be, is ideal.
  • Pattern-shaped recesses are visible to the unarmed human eye, especially when the pattern-shaped recesses per cm outline of the basic form have at most 10 notches. Pattern-shaped recesses are primarily at least partially invisible to the unaided human eye if they have more than 10 notches per cm outline of the basic shape per cm outline of the basic shape, preferably forming 20 or more notches per cm outline of the basic shape.
