Definitions

  • This invention relates to manufacturing a security page of an identity card, a passport or a driver's license, for instance.
  • the invention especially relates to a solution which makes it possible to produce a hole through a part of a security page.
  • One reason for producing a hole through a part of a security page is to be able to remove non-transparent material, and to replace this non-transparent removed material with transparent material, in order to obtain a security page with a window.
  • the invention will be described by way of example by referring to manufacturing of a security page with a window, though it should be clear that the present invention may be utilized also for other purposes than to manufacturing of security pages with windows.
  • the hole is filled with a piece of a transparent material.
  • the transparent material is attached to the security page by laminating. Before laminating the security page can be provided with a transparent top layer and a transparent bottom layer, which both cover substantially the entire surface area of the security page. If so, the parts of the security page can be attached to each other in one single lamination step.
  • a problem involved with the above mentioned prior art solution is that it is suitable for use only when the hole needs to be punched through one single layer. If there is a need to produce a hole through several layers arranged on top of each other, it is not sufficient to simply punch a hole through the layers, because the layers will move out of their predetermined mutual positions while punching and while moving to a next production phase. However, in order to obtain a useful security page it is necessary that the layers of the security page are perfectly aligned with each other when they become laminated to each other.
  • An object of the present invention is to solve the above mentioned drawback and to provide a method which can be used for producing a hole through a plurality of layers of a security page. This object is achieved by the method of independent claim 1.
  • the layers are initially pressed towards each other in order to prevent them from moving while a hole is cut through the layers.
  • the layers are welded to each other at the edges of the hole. In this way any movement during transfer to a subsequent production phase, for instance, can be eliminated.
  • the weld or welds ensure that the mutual positions of the layers are exactly as intended until the lamination is carried out, where the layers are finally attached to each other.
  • An object of the invention is also to obtain a security page including a plurality of layers on top of each other, and from which plurality of layers material has been removed. This object is achieved by a security page according to independent claim 8.
  • a further object is to obtain an apparatus which can be used for processing material layers utilized in the method of claim 1 and in the security page of claim 8. This object is achieved by the apparatus of independent claim 11.
  • Figures 1A to 1E illustrate an embodiment for manufacturing a security page.
  • the security page is for an identity card, though also a security page for a driver's license or a passport can be manufactured in a similar way.
  • the invention will be described with an embodiment where a security page with a transparent area or a window is produced.
  • the invention can be utilized also in other connections, and not only for including transparent material in a hole cut through the layers, but instead some other material or elements can be arranged in the hole instead of transparent material.
  • a plurality of material layers 1 are arranged on top of each other in Figure 1A .
  • the material of the layers can be of a suitable plastic material such as PC (Poly Carbonat), PET (PolyEthylene Terephthalate), PVC/ABS (PolyVinylChloride/Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) or PETG (PolyEthylene Terapthalate Glycol), for instance. It is also possible to use material layers which consist of combinations of different materials, such as combinations of the previously mentioned materials.
  • At least one of the layers 1 can be a layer suitable for laser engraving.
  • laser engraving energy originating from a laser beam causes the plastic material to darken at points at which energy has been directed.
  • the security page can be personalized, in other words the data (name, birthday and social security number and so on) of the holder of the identity card, can be written to this layer by utilizing a laser.
  • One alternative is to utilize a layer of clear carbonized polycarbonate for such a purpose.
  • the security page can, however, be personalized also in other ways, and a layer suitable for laser engraving is therefore not absolutely necessary.
  • One or more of the layers 1 can be provided with text, numbers, patterns or graphics by conventional printing techniques before the layers 1 are arranged on top of each other as illustrated in Figure 1A .
  • information which needs to be included in each one of the manufactured identity cards, for instance, can be included in the security page.
  • the outer appearance, such as the colour of the security page can be accomplished as desired.
  • additional elements can be arranged between layers 1 once they are arranged on top of each other.
  • an antenna 3 and a microchip 2 are included between some of the layers 1 at the production phase illustrated in Figure 1A .
  • additional elements as an antenna and a microchip are not absolutetly necessary in all embodiments.
  • the production phase of Figure 1B can be entered without attaching the layers 1 to each other in any way.
  • the layers should not be permanently attached to each other over their entire surfaces by laminating, for instance. The reason is that a more solid and secure attachment between the layers 1 and the material arranged in the hole, such as the transparent material (window), is accomplished when the separate layers and the material or element arranged into the hole, are attached to each other in one single lamination step (later on).
  • a clamp 4 has In Figure 1B been pressed towards an upper surface of the pile of layers 1 arranged on top of each other.
  • the clamp 4 may consist of a metal plate with a hole in it in order to allow a cutting and welding tool 5 to access the layers 1 via said hole, for instance.
  • an ultrasonic cutter or sonotrode is used as a combined cutting and welding tool 5, though it is naturally also possible to utilize other types of tools, such as a separate cutting tool and a separate welding tool.
  • the cutting and welding tool 5 is shown in cross section.
  • the tool 5 has cutting edges with a V shape for generating a pressure towards the edges of the hole while cutting, as illustrated by the arrows in Figure 1B .
  • the wider upper base of the tool generates the pressure illustrated by the arrows towards the edges of the hole which has been cut.
  • the edges of the layers are welded to each other.
  • the side of the cutting and welding tool 5 should be inclined to form a sufficient angle A with a vertical line.
  • An angle A of about 5° has in practical tests turned out to be sufficient.
  • FIG 1C the cutting and welding tool 5 has penetrated through each layer and welded the layers and the waste parts to a single waste part 7.
  • an orifice 8 located in the cutting and welding tool is used to create suction at the cutting and welding tool.
  • the suction can be obtained with a compressor, for instance, that acts as a low pressure source. Due to the suction, a pressure lower than the surrounding pressure is generated between the single waste part 7 and the cutting and welding tool 5. Due to this lower pressure, the single waste part 7 attaches to the cutting and welding tool 5, and it can be lifted off with the cutting and welding tool and moved to a waste bin 9, as shown in Figure 1D . By shutting off the suction once the cutting and welding tool 5 is located above the waste bin 9, the single waste part 7 can be dropped into the waste bin. After this the cutting and welding tool 5 is ready for transfer to a next location where a hole needs to be produced.
  • the plurality of layers can, as a final method step, be attached to each other by laminating. If, however, the intention is to fill the hole with a material that is different than the material of the layers, or alternatively with an element, then this can be done as shown in Figure 1E .
  • Figure 1E illustrates insertion of material, in this example a transparent material 11, into a hole 10 produced in the plurality of layers 1.
  • the transparent material 11 should have a volume substantially close to the volume of the hole 10. In this way it can be ensured that the outcome is a security page which has a uniform thickness also at the transparent section.
  • One alternative is to use a piece of transparent material 11 that is slightly thicker that the total thickness of the plurality of layers, however, with an area which is slightly smaller than the area of the hole 10, while looking at the hole and the transparent material from above in Figure 1E . In this way, it is easy to arrange the piece of transparent material into the hole 10.
  • the lamination is carried out with a raised pressure and a raised temperature. Therefore the transparent material softens, its height is reduced and area increased to efficiently fill up the hole in the layers 1.
  • the result of the lamination is a uniform security page where each layer 1 and the transparent material 11 are permanently and securely attached to each other over their entire surfaces.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a sheet 12 with a plurality of security pages before cutting them apart along lines 13. In this way each security page will include one window consisting of transparent material 11.
  • Figure 3 illustrates an embodiment of a security page 14.
  • the security page is a contactless card having a microchip 2 and an antenna coil 3 for enabling wireless communication with the microchip, which are embedded in the plastics material of the security page 14.
  • This window is located inside the antenna coil 3, where it is surrounded on all sides by areas of non-transparent material.
  • the security page 14 has been personalized by a photo 15 of the holder and with data 16 such as the name, birthday and social security number of the holder.
  • the transparent material 11 can be a clear window, or alternatively it can be provided with text, numbers, graphics or a pattern.
  • the transparent material 11 has been provided with numbers by way of example.
  • the numbers can be applied by laser engraving, for instance.
