- the similar document may advantageously thus comprise a revelation means and / or a combined image that can respectively be associated with the combined image and / or the means of revealing the document according to the invention.
- the relative displacement of the combined image and the revelation means can make it possible to successively observe the nested images, in particular by animating the revelation means with a relative movement in a plane parallel to the plane containing the combined image.
- the successive observation of the nested images can be done in transmitted light, the combined image and the revelation frame being placed between a light source and the observer, and / or in reflected light, the observer looking at the combined image and the revelation frame illuminated in reflection by a light source.
- the nested images may represent information hidden and revealed successively by relative displacement, in particular by translation, of the revelation means on the combined image and / or change of the observation angle of the revelation means superimposed on the combined image .
- the combined image must retain a recognizable aesthetic, in particular so as to constitute a first authentication element.
- the revelation means may be a revelation frame and the observation of the nested images may for example be made by a relative displacement, in particular by translation, of the revelation means relative to the combined image.
- the revelation means can be a lenticular network and the observation of the nested images can still be done by a relative displacement, in particular by translation, or by a change in the angle of observation of the revelation means superimposed on the image combined.
- the means of revelation may allow the human eye to visualize a different imbricated image at a time, the observer's brain being able to reconstitute for example a motion or observe hidden information.
- lenticular network refers to a network of microlenses superimposed on the combined image, consisting of nested images.

- the area, in particular the length and / or the width and / or the largest dimension, of the revealing means may be greater than or equal to the area, in particular the length and / or the width and / or the most large dimension of the combined image.
- the area, in particular the length and / or the width and / or the most large dimension of the combined image may be greater than or equal to the area, in particular the length and / or the width and / or the most large dimension of the combined image.
- the revelation means may have any shape, for example circular, oval, star, polygonal, for example rectangular, square, hexagonal, pentagonal, rhombus, among others.
- two combined images of different dimensions are associated.
- the combined image of smaller dimension is in particular repeated, in particular according to a network, in particular of lines and columns, in order to appear as a background on which is disposed the combined image of larger dimension.
- the associated revelation means then consists of a first revelation means adapted to the combined image of larger size, and a second revelation means adapted to the combined image of smaller dimension.

Description
La présente invention se rapporte au domaine des documents de sécurité.The present invention relates to the field of security documents.
Des procédés reposant sur la persistance rétinienne pour permettre la restitution d'un mouvement sont connus de l'art antérieur. On connait par exemple le phénakistiscope qui utilise un disque en carton, percé de fentes, sur lequel un mouvement est décomposé en une suite d'images fixes, et un manche permettant son maintien pendant sa rotation. On connait également le zootrope qui consiste en un tambour percé de fentes sur sa moitié supérieure et abritant à l'intérieur, dans sa partie inférieure, une bande de dessins décomposant un mouvement. Lorsque l'on entraîne en rotation le tambour et que l'on regarde fixement l'intérieur à travers les fentes, les dessins s'animent. On connaît encore le praxinoscope, dont le fonctionnement repose sur le principe du zootrope, qui comporte plusieurs miroirs autour de son axe central afin de visualiser l'illusion de mouvement.Methods based on retinal persistence to allow movement to be restored are known from the prior art. For example, the phenakistiscope is known, which uses a cardboard disc, pierced with slots, on which a movement is decomposed into a series of still images, and a handle allowing it to be held during its rotation. We also know the zootrope which consists of a drum pierced with slits on its upper half and sheltering inside, in its lower part, a band of drawings decomposing a movement. When one rotates the drum and stares intently through the slots, the drawings become animated. We still know the praxinoscope, whose operation is based on the principle of zoetrope, which has several mirrors around its central axis to visualize the illusion of movement.
On connait en outre des procédés de création d'illusions de mouvement décrits dans les documents
On connaît également la superposition, par pliage d'un document, de deux éléments. La demande
Afin de se prémunir de contrefaçons ou de falsifications de documents de sécurité et afin d'augmenter le niveau de sécurisation de ces documents, il est connu d'y incorporer divers éléments de sécurité permettant l'authentification des documents.In order to guard against counterfeits or falsifications of security documents and to increase the level of security of these documents, it is known to incorporate various security elements for the authentication of documents.
Il existe un besoin pour renforcer encore la sécurité et les processus d'authentification des documents de sécurité, afin notamment d'augmenter la difficulté de contrefaçon de ces documents.There is a need to further strengthen the security and authentication processes of security documents, in particular to increase the difficulty of counterfeiting of these documents.
L'invention se propose ainsi notamment d'exploiter le principe de la décomposition en mouvement exposé précédemment afin de pouvoir authentifier les documents de sécurité par la visualisation par exemple de mouvements décomposés, provoquant ainsi une illusion de mouvement.The invention thus proposes, in particular, to exploit the principle of the decomposition in motion set out above in order to be able to authenticate the security documents by visualizing, for example, decomposed movements, thereby causing an illusion of movement.
L'invention a ainsi pour objet, selon l'un de ses aspects, un document de sécurité selon la revendication 1.The invention thus has, according to one of its aspects, a security document according to
Par « associée », il faut comprendre que le moyen de révélation est avantageusement adapté pour permettre de visualiser les différentes images imbriquées de l'image combinée.By "associated", it should be understood that the means of revelation is advantageously adapted to allow viewing the different nested images of the combined image.
Le document similaire peut par exemple être semblable dans sa fonction et/ou dans sa forme au document selon l'invention. Par exemple, les deux documents peuvent être des billets de banque, avec par exemple la même valeur fiduciaire. Les deux documents peuvent ne se différencier l'un de l'autre que par un numéro de série par exemple.The similar document may for example be similar in its function and / or in its form to the document according to the invention. For example, both documents may be bank notes, for example with the same fiduciary value. The two documents can be differentiated from each other only by a serial number for example.
Le document similaire peut avantageusement ainsi comporter un moyen de révélation et/ou une image combinée pouvant respectivement être associés à l'image combinée et/ou au moyen de révélation du document selon l'invention.The similar document may advantageously thus comprise a revelation means and / or a combined image that can respectively be associated with the combined image and / or the means of revealing the document according to the invention.
Grâce à l'invention, il est ainsi possible de bénéficier d'un document de sécurité présentant une nouvelle structure d'authentification du document consistant en la restitution d'images imbriquées, provoquant par exemple l'illusion d'un mouvement, par superposition et déplacement relatif d'une image combinée et d'un moyen de révélation, en particulier une trame de révélation ou un réseau lenticulaire, et/ou changement d'angle d'observation du moyen de révélation, en particulier un réseau lenticulaire, et de l'image combinée superposés.Thanks to the invention, it is thus possible to benefit from a security document presenting a new document authentication structure consisting of the reproduction of nested images, causing for example the illusion of a movement, by superposition and relative displacement of a combined image and a revelation means, in particular a revelation screen or a lenticular network, and / or a change of angle observational means of the revelation means, in particular a lenticular array, and the superimposed combined image.
Le déplacement relatif de l'image combinée et du moyen de révélation peut permettre d'observer successivement les images imbriquées, notamment en animant le moyen de révélation d'un mouvement relatif dans un plan parallèle au plan contenant l'image combinée.The relative displacement of the combined image and the revelation means can make it possible to successively observe the nested images, in particular by animating the revelation means with a relative movement in a plane parallel to the plane containing the combined image.
De préférence, l'image combinée et le moyen de révélation sont superposés de manière à être en contact.Preferably, the combined image and the revealing means are superimposed so as to be in contact.
Ledit déplacement relatif est en particulier une translation.Said relative displacement is in particular a translation.
Grâce à l'invention, il est encore possible de conférer un effet ludique et/ou attractif à l'utilisateur du document de sécurité dont l'authentification repose sur un effet de révélation d'images imbriquées, créant par exemple un effet de mouvement.Thanks to the invention, it is still possible to impart a playful and / or attractive effect to the user of the security document whose authentication relies on a revelation effect of nested images, creating for example a motion effect.
L'observation successive des images imbriquées peut se faire en lumière transmise, l'image combinée et la trame de révélation étant placées entre une source lumineuse et l'observateur, et/ou en lumière réfléchie, l'observateur regardant l'image combinée et la trame de révélation éclairées en réflexion par une source lumineuse.The successive observation of the nested images can be done in transmitted light, the combined image and the revelation frame being placed between a light source and the observer, and / or in reflected light, the observer looking at the combined image and the revelation frame illuminated in reflection by a light source.
L'image combinée, et les images imbriquées qu'elle comporte, peuvent être des images tramées.The combined image, and the nested images that it comprises, can be raster images.
L'image combinée peut correspondre à la décomposition d'un mouvement d'un motif, par exemple d'un texte, de signes alphanumériques, d'idéogrammes, d'un objet, d'une personne et/ou d'un animal. Les images imbriquées peuvent représenter des positions successives et/ou mouvements successifs d'un motif, par exemple d'un objet, d'une personne et/ou d'un animal.The combined image may correspond to the decomposition of a movement of a pattern, for example text, alphanumeric signs, ideograms, an object, a person and / or an animal. The nested images can represent successive positions and / or successive movements of a pattern, for example an object, a person and / or an animal.
L'image combinée peut avantageusement être obtenue par la superposition des images imbriquées représentant chacune un mouvement du motif.The combined image may advantageously be obtained by the superposition of the nested images each representing a movement of the pattern.
Les images imbriquées peuvent représenter des informations cachées et révélées successivement par déplacement relatif, en particulier par translation, du moyen de révélation sur l'image combinée et/ou changement de l'angle d'observation du moyen de révélation superposé à l'image combinée.The nested images may represent information hidden and revealed successively by relative displacement, in particular by translation, of the revelation means on the combined image and / or change of the observation angle of the revelation means superimposed on the combined image .
De préférence l'image combinée doit conserver une esthétique reconnaissable, notamment de manière à constituer un premier élément d'authentification.Preferably, the combined image must retain a recognizable aesthetic, in particular so as to constitute a first authentication element.
Le moyen de révélation peut être une trame de révélation et l'observation des images imbriquées peut par exemple se faire par un déplacement relatif, en particulier par translation, du moyen de révélation par rapport à l'image combinée.The revelation means may be a revelation frame and the observation of the nested images may for example be made by a relative displacement, in particular by translation, of the revelation means relative to the combined image.
Le moyen de révélation peut être un réseau lenticulaire et l'observation des images imbriquées peut encore se faire par un déplacement relatif, en particulier par translation, ou par un changement de l'angle d'observation du moyen de révélation superposé à l'image combinée.The revelation means can be a lenticular network and the observation of the nested images can still be done by a relative displacement, in particular by translation, or by a change in the angle of observation of the revelation means superimposed on the image combined.
Le moyen de révélation peut permettre à l'oeil humain de visualiser une image imbriquée différente à la fois, le cerveau de l'observateur pouvant reconstituer par exemple un mouvement ou observer une information cachée.The means of revelation may allow the human eye to visualize a different imbricated image at a time, the observer's brain being able to reconstitute for example a motion or observe hidden information.
L'expression « réseau lenticulaire » se réfère à un réseau de microlentilles superposé à l'image combinée, constituée d'images imbriquées.The term "lenticular network" refers to a network of microlenses superimposed on the combined image, consisting of nested images.
En outre, il faut donner aux expressions « image tramée » et « trame de révélation », au sens de la présente invention, un sens large qui couvre tous les types de trames ou pseudo-trames, comportant une juxtaposition de zones claires et de zones sombres, distinguables les unes des autres, la forme de ces zones claires et de ces zones sombres n'étant pas limitée à une forme particulière mais pouvant être quelconque.In addition, it is necessary to give the expressions "raster image" and "revelation frame", within the meaning of the present invention, a broad meaning that covers all types of frames or pseudo-frames, comprising a juxtaposition of light areas and zones. dark, distinguishable from each other, the shape of these light areas and these dark areas not being limited to a particular shape but can be any.
Par exemple, l'image combinée et/ou le moyen de révélation peuvent comporter un ensemble de points et/ou de lignes parallèles ou non, dont la taille et/ou l'espacement entre eux sont variables ou constants, cet ensemble formant une succession de zones claires et sombres, par exemple blanches et noires.For example, the combined image and / or the revelation means may comprise a set of points and / or parallel lines or not, the size and / or spacing between them are variable or constant, this set forming a succession light and dark areas, for example white and black.
En particulier, lorsque l'image combinée et/ou le moyen de révélation comportent un ensemble de points disposés par exemple selon des lignes et/ou des colonnes, l'observation des images imbriquées peut se faire par translation dans au moins deux directions. Il s'agit notamment d'une direction parallèle auxdites lignes et d'une direction parallèle auxdites colonnes.In particular, when the combined image and / or the revelation means comprise a set of points arranged for example in lines and / or columns, the observation of the nested images can be done by translation in at least two directions. These include a direction parallel to said lines and a direction parallel to said columns.
L'image combinée et/ou le moyen de révélation peuvent notamment comporter un ensemble de lignes, de préférence parallèles entre elles, d'épaisseur et d'espacement entre elles définis. En particulier, les lignes peuvent avoir la même épaisseur et/ou le même espacement entre elles.The combined image and / or the revelation means may in particular comprise a set of lines, preferably parallel to each other, of thickness and spacing between them defined. In particular, the lines may have the same thickness and / or the same spacing between them.
L'image combinée et/ou le moyen de révélation peuvent par exemple comporter une succession de lignes sombres et claires, par exemple noires et blanches. L'épaisseur des lignes sombres des images combinées peut par exemple être égale à l'épaisseur des lignes claires du moyen de révélation, et réciproquement.The combined image and / or the revelation means may for example comprise a succession of dark and light lines, for example black and white. The thickness of the dark lines of the combined images may for example be equal to the thickness of the clear lines of the revelation means, and vice versa.
Le moyen de révélation peut comporter des bandes opacifiantes à bords parallèles, éventuellement non rectilignes. La présence de bandes opacifiantes à bords non rectilignes peut rendre plus difficile la reproduction par un contrefacteur.The revelation means may comprise opacifying bands with parallel edges, possibly non-rectilinear. The presence of opacifying tapes with non-rectilinear edges may make reproduction by a counterfeiter more difficult.
De préférence, l'aire, notamment la longueur et/ou la largeur et/ou la plus grande dimension, du moyen de révélation peut être supérieure ou égale à l'aire, notamment la longueur et/ou la largeur et/ou la plus grande dimension, de l'image combinée. De la sorte, il est possible de visualiser la reconstitution entière du mouvement produit par le déplacement relatif entre l'image combinée et le moyen de révélation et/ou par un changement d'angle d'observation du moyen de révélation et de l'image combinée superposés.Preferably, the area, in particular the length and / or the width and / or the largest dimension, of the revealing means may be greater than or equal to the area, in particular the length and / or the width and / or the most large dimension of the combined image. In this way, it is possible to visualize the entire reconstitution of the movement produced by the relative displacement between the combined image and the means of revelation and / or by a change of observation angle of the revelation means and the image combined superimposed.
Le moyen de révélation peut avoir une forme quelconque, par exemple circulaire, ovale, en étoile, polygonale, par exemple rectangulaire, carrée, hexagonale, pentagonale, en losange, entre autres.The revelation means may have any shape, for example circular, oval, star, polygonal, for example rectangular, square, hexagonal, pentagonal, rhombus, among others.
Selon une variante de l'invention, on associe deux images combinées de dimensions différentes. L'image combinée de plus petite dimension est en particulier répétée, notamment selon un réseau, notamment de lignes et de colonnes, afin d'apparaître comme un fond sur lequel est disposée l'image combinée de plus grande dimension.According to one variant of the invention, two combined images of different dimensions are associated. The combined image of smaller dimension is in particular repeated, in particular according to a network, in particular of lines and columns, in order to appear as a background on which is disposed the combined image of larger dimension.
Le moyen de révélation associé est alors constitué d'un premier moyen de révélation adapté à l'image combinée de plus grande dimension, et d'un second moyen de révélation adapté à l'image combinée de plus petite dimension.The associated revelation means then consists of a first revelation means adapted to the combined image of larger size, and a second revelation means adapted to the combined image of smaller dimension.
Les deux images combinées différentes peuvent présenter des similarités et/ou se compléter. Elles peuvent en particulier être identiques et/ou symétriques.The two different combined images may have similarities and / or complement each other. They can in particular be identical and / or symmetrical.
Le pliage du document de sécurité peut se faire selon une ligne médiane du document, de préférence parallèle à un côté du document, par exemple selon une ligne médiane passant par le milieu de la largeur ou de la longueur du document.The folding of the security document can be done along a median line of the document, preferably parallel to one side of the document, for example along a median line passing through the middle of the width or the length of the document.
L'image combinée et/ou le moyen de révélation peuvent figurer dans une fenêtre du document de sécurité, la fenêtre étant notamment au moins partiellement transparente. Des exemples de réalisation de fenêtres de sécurité dans les documents de sécurité sont par exemple décrits dans les documents
Selon une autre variante de l'invention, l'image combinée et/ou le moyen de révélation peuvent figurer sur une zone d'opacité réduite du document de sécurité. Une telle zone d'opacité réduite peut notamment correspondre à une zone de moindre épaisseur, à une zone transparentisée ou à une zone comprenant au moins une couche d'un matériau de moindre opacité. L'opacité de ladite zone d'opacité réduite sera en particulier suffisamment faible pour permettre une observation en transmission, et de préférence suffisamment faible pour permettre une observation en transmission et en réflexion.According to another variant of the invention, the combined image and / or the revealing means may appear on an area of reduced opacity of the security document. Such a zone of reduced opacity may especially correspond to a zone of lesser thickness, to a transparent zone or to an area comprising at least one layer of a material of less opacity. In particular, the opacity of said zone of reduced opacity will be sufficiently low to allow observation in transmission, and preferably sufficiently low to allow observation in transmission and reflection.
L'image combinée et/ou le moyen de révélation, en particulier une trame de révélation, peuvent être portés sur le document de sécurité par un procédé d'impression, par exemple offset, taille douce, laser, héliogravure, typographie ou sérigraphie.The combined image and / or the revelation means, in particular a revelation screen, may be worn on the security document by a printing process, for example offset, soft-mode, laser, gravure, typography or screen printing.
Par exemple, l'image combinée et/ou le moyen de révélation peuvent être imprimés, par exemple par des encres colorées ou non, visibles à l'oeil nu, sous lumière ultraviolette (UV) et/ou infrarouge (IR), opaques ou luminescentes, notamment fluorescentes, thermochromes, photochromes, à effet interférentiel, notamment iridescentes, ou à effet optiquement variable selon l'angle d'observation (gonochromatiques), notamment comportant des cristaux liquides, métalliques ou non, magnétiques ou non, entre autres.For example, the combined image and / or the revelation means may be printed, for example by colored or non-colored inks, visible to the naked eye, under ultraviolet (UV) and / or infrared (IR) light, opaque or luminescent, in particular fluorescent, thermochromic, photochromic, interferential effect, in particular iridescent, or optically variable depending on the angle of observation (gonochromatic), including liquid crystals, metallic or not, magnetic or not, among others.
L'image combinée et/ou le moyen de révélation peuvent encore comporter des métallisations et/ou démétallisations, par exemple en aluminium.The combined image and / or the revelation means may also include metallizations and / or demetallizations, for example aluminum.
Avantageusement, des métallisations et/ou des démétallisations peuvent être utilisées afin d'éviter la contrefaçon par impression.Advantageously, metallizations and / or demetallizations can be used in order to avoid counterfeiting by printing.
En particulier, des métallisations et/ou démétallisations de couleurs différentes sont utilisées, par exemple au moyen d'aluminium et de cuivre.In particular, metallizations and / or demetallizations of different colors are used, for example by means of aluminum and copper.
L'image combinée et/ou le moyen de révélation peuvent encore être imprimés avec des cristaux liquides et être portés sur une zone du document de sécurité polarisant la lumière, de telle sorte que l'image combinée et/ou le moyen de révélation ne soient visibles que lors du pliage du document sur lui-même.The combined image and / or the revelation means may be further printed with liquid crystals and carried on an area of the light-polarizing security document, such that the combined image and / or the revelation means are visible only when folding the document on itself.
Selon une variante de l'invention, l'image combinée et/ou la trame de révélation est un filigrane ou pseudo-filigrane. L'observation successive des images imbriquées se fait alors de préférence en lumière transmise.According to a variant of the invention, the combined image and / or the revelation frame is a watermark or pseudo-watermark. The successive observation of the nested images is preferably done in transmitted light.
Les filigranes sont produits par des techniques bien connues dans le domaine papetier. Les pseudo-filigranes reproduisent l'apparence d'un filigrane en présentant des différences d'opacité, ils peuvent être obtenus mécaniquement par apport de pression avec ou sans apport de chaleur et/ou chimiquement par application d'une composition, par exemple en augmentant localement la transparence du papier grâce à des substances transparentisantes. La densité de matière fibreuse entre les zones les plus claires et les plus sombres du pseudo-filigrane peut être uniforme à la différence d'un filigrane conventionnel.Watermarks are produced by techniques well known in the paper industry. Pseudo-watermarks reproduce the appearance of a watermark by having differences in opacity, they can be obtained mechanically by supplying pressure with or without heat input and / or chemically by applying a composition, for example by increasing locally the transparency of paper through transparent substances. The density of fibrous material between the lightest and darkest areas of the pseudo-watermark may be uniform unlike a conventional watermark.
L'image combinée, les images imbriquées et/ou la trame de révélation peuvent être colorées, et notamment de couleurs différentes. En particulier, l'image combinée et la trame de révélation, ou encore les différentes images imbriquées, sont de couleurs différentes.The combined image, the nested images and / or the revelation frame may be colored, and in particular of different colors. In particular, the combined image and the revelation frame, or the different nested images, are of different colors.
Le document peut comporter un recto et un verso, et être muni de deux fenêtres au moins partiellement transparentes portant respectivement l'image combinée et la trame de révélation. L'image combinée et/ou trame de révélation peuvent être métallisées. En particulier, l'image combinée peut être formée par une première métallisation, par exemple en aluminium, sur le recto et une seconde métallisation, identique et au registre, par exemple en cuivre, sur le verso du document. Inversement, la trame de révélation peut être formée par une première métallisation, par exemple en cuivre, sur le recto et une seconde métallisation, identique et au registre, par exemple en aluminium, sur le verso du document. De la sorte, lorsque le document est replié sur lui-même, on peut observer d'un côté du document le recto de l'image combinée et le verso de la trame de révélation en un même métal, par exemple en aluminium. A l'inverse, on peut observer selon l'autre côté du document le verso de l'image combinée et le recto de la trame de révélation en un même métal, par exemple en cuivre.The document may comprise a front and back, and be provided with two at least partially transparent windows respectively carrying the combined image and the revelation frame. The combined image and / or revelation frame may be metallized. In particular, the combined image may be formed by a first metallization, for example aluminum, on the front and a second metallization, identical and the register, for example copper, on the back of the document. Conversely, the revelation screen may be formed by a first metallization, for example copper, on the front and a second metallization, identical and the register, for example aluminum, on the back of the document. In this way, when the document is folded on itself, one can see on one side of the document the front of the combined image and the back of the revelation frame in the same metal, for example aluminum. Conversely, it can be seen on the other side of the document the back of the combined image and the front of the revelation frame in the same metal, for example copper.
L'image combinée et/ou le moyen de révélation peuvent être portés par un patch et/ou un foil figurant sur le document de sécurité.The combined image and / or the revelation means may be carried by a patch and / or a foil on the security document.
Le patch et/ou le foil peuvent comporter des métallisations et/ou des démétallisations, par exemple en aluminium, ou tout type d'impressions.The patch and / or the foil may comprise metallizations and / or demetallizations, for example aluminum, or any type of printing.
Le patch et/ou le foil peuvent comporter des impressions holographiques et/ou des cristaux liquides.The patch and / or the foil may comprise holographic impressions and / or liquid crystals.
L'image combinée et/ou le moyen de révélation peuvent encore être portés par un fil de sécurité, incorporé en surface, en masse ou en fenêtre(s) dans le document de sécurité.The combined image and / or the revelation means may further be carried by a security thread incorporated in the surface, mass or window (s) in the security document.
Le document peut encore comporter un fil de sécurité présentant une alternance d'images combinées et de moyens de révélation.The document may also comprise a security thread having an alternation of combined images and revelation means.
Avantageusement, la présence d'une succession d'images combinées et/ou de moyens de révélation sur le fil de sécurité peut permettre d'éviter d'introduire le fil de sécurité au repère lors de la formation du document de sécurité.Advantageously, the presence of a succession of combined images and / or revelation means on the security thread may make it possible to avoid introducing the security thread at the marker during the formation of the security document.
Le document de sécurité peut encore comporter deux fils de sécurité, l'un portant au moins une image combinée et l'autre portant au moins un moyen de révélation.The security document may also include two security son, one carrying at least one combined image and the other carrying at least one means of disclosure.
Le ou les fils de sécurité peuvent présenter une largeur suffisante pour permettre d'y faire figurer l'image combinée et/ou le moyen de révélation en totalité.The security son or son may have a width sufficient to allow to include the combined image and / or the entire disclosure means.
La largeur du ou des fils de sécurité peut par exemple être comprise entre 3 et 20 mm, et de préférence entre 4 et 8 mm, de préférence égale à 4 mm.The width of the security son or son may for example be between 3 and 20 mm, and preferably between 4 and 8 mm, preferably equal to 4 mm.
Le document de sécurité peut ainsi comporter les combinaisons suivantes entre images combinées et moyens de révélation :
- au moins une image combinée, respectivement un moyen de révélation, portée par une fenêtre du document et le moyen de révélation, respectivement l'image combinée, associé étant une impression, une métallisation et/ou démétallisation portée par ailleurs sur le document de sécurité,

Le moyen de révélation et/ou l'image combinée figurent avantageusement sur une zone du document au moins partiellement transparente, en particulier le moyen de révélation et/ou l'image combinée peuvent être au moins partiellement transparents.The revelation means and / or the combined image advantageously appear on an area of the at least partially transparent document, in particular the revelation means and / or the combined image may be at least partially transparent.
La zone au moins partiellement transparente peut correspondre à un évidement, traversant ou non, du document dans lequel on place le moyen de révélation, notamment un réseau lenticulaire et/ou une trame de révélation, et/ou l'image combinée.The at least partially transparent zone may correspond to a recess, passing through or not, of the document in which the revealing means is placed, in particular a lenticular network and / or a revealing frame, and / or the combined image.
La zone peut par exemple être constituée par un papier calque translucide.The zone may for example be constituted by a translucent tracing paper.
La zone peut encore être constituée par une couche polymère comportant par exemple du polyéthylène (PE), du polychlorure de vinyle (PVC), du polyéthylène téréphtalate (PET), du polycarbonate (PC), du polyester carbonate (PEC), du polyéthylène téréphtalate glycol (PETG), de l'acrylonitryle butadiène styrène (ABS) ou un film collecteur de lumière par exemple du type « guide d'ondes », par exemple un film luminescent à base de polycarbonate commercialisé par la société BAYER sous la dénomination LISA®.The zone may also be constituted by a polymer layer comprising for example polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polycarbonate (PC), polyester carbonate (PEC), polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG), of acrylonitryl butadiene styrene (ABS) or a light-collecting film, for example of the type "wave guide", for example a polycarbonate-based luminescent film sold by BAYER under the trade name LISA ® .
Lors de l'utilisation d'un film guide d'onde, l'image combinée ou la trame de révélation est obtenue en particulier par gravure laser.When using a waveguide film, the combined image or the revelation screen is obtained in particular by laser etching.
La zone peut également être transparentisée par application d'une composition généralement grasse qui transparentise la zone de façon permanente, comme par exemple une composition faite d'huile et de matériau minéral transparent comme décrit dans le brevet
On peut aussi transparentiser la zone en appliquant localement une cire par transfert à chaud, comme décrit dans le brevet
On peut encore utiliser pour la zone une couche fibreuse comportant une matière thermofusible, par exemple du polyétylène comme décrit dans le brevet
Selon un mode de réalisation particulier de l'invention, l'image combinée peut également être représentée sur un autre élément du document de sécurité, ce qui apporte une sécurisation supplémentaire. Ledit autre élément du document de sécurité peut notamment être un filigrane, une impression, un patch ou encore un foil.According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the combined image can also be represented on another element of the security document, which provides additional security. Said other element of the security document may in particular be a watermark, an impression, a patch or a foil.
Le document de sécurité, ainsi que les éléments qu'il comporte comme par exemple un fil de sécurité, un patch et/ou un foil, peuvent comporter un ou plusieurs éléments de sécurité tels que définis ci-après.The security document, as well as the elements that it comprises, for example a security thread, a patch and / or a foil, may comprise one or more security elements as defined below.
Parmi les éléments de sécurité, certains sont détectables à l'oeil, en lumière du jour ou en lumière artificielle, sans utilisation d'un appareil particulier. Ces éléments de sécurité comportent par exemple des fibres ou planchettes colorées, des fils imprimés ou métallisés totalement ou partiellement. Ces éléments de sécurité sont dits de premier niveau.Some of the security features are detectable by eye, daylight or artificial light, without the use of a particular device. These security elements comprise for example colored fibers or boards, fully or partially printed or metallized wires. These security elements are called first level.
D'autres types d'éléments de sécurité sont détectables seulement à l'aide d'un appareil relativement simple, tel qu'une lampe émettant dans l'ultra-violet (UV) ou l'infrarouge (IR). Ces éléments de sécurité comportent par exemple des fibres, des planchettes, des bandes, des fils ou des particules. Ces éléments de sécurité peuvent être visibles à l'oeil nu ou non, étant par exemple luminescents sous un éclairage d'une lampe de Wood émettant dans une longueur d'onde de 365 nm. Ces éléments de sécurité sont dits de deuxième niveau.Other types of security elements are detectable only with a relatively simple device, such as a lamp emitting in the ultraviolet (UV) or infrared (IR). These security elements comprise, for example, fibers, boards, strips, wires or particles. These security elements may be visible to the naked eye or not, being for example luminescent under a lighting of a Wood lamp emitting in a wavelength of 365 nm. These security elements are said to be second level.
D'autres types d'éléments de sécurité encore nécessitent pour leur détection un appareil de détection plus sophistiqué. Ces éléments de sécurité sont par exemple capables de générer un signal spécifique lorsqu'ils sont soumis, de manière simultanée ou non, à une ou plusieurs sources d'excitation extérieure. La détection automatique du signal permet d'authentifier, le cas échéant, le document. Ces éléments de sécurité comportent par exemple des traceurs se présentant sous la forme de matières actives, de particules ou de fibres, capables de générer un signal spécifique lorsque ces traceurs sont soumis à une excitation optronique, électrique, magnétique ou électromagnétique. Ces éléments de sécurité sont dits de troisième niveau.Other types of security elements still require for their detection a more sophisticated detection device. These security elements are for example capable of generating a specific signal when they are subjected, simultaneously or not, to one or more external excitation sources. The automatic detection of the signal makes it possible to authenticate, if necessary, the document. These security elements comprise, for example, tracers in the form of active materials, particles or fibers capable of generating a specific signal when these tracers are subjected to optronic, electrical, magnetic or electromagnetic excitation. These security elements are said to be third level.
Les éléments de sécurité présents au sein du document de sécurité et des éléments qu'il comporte, peuvent présenter des caractéristiques de sécurité de premier, de deuxième ou de troisième niveau.The security elements present in the security document and the elements that it comprises may have first, second or third level security features.
Le document de sécurité peut par exemple être un moyen de paiement, tel qu'un billet de banque, un chèque ou un ticket restaurant, un document d'identité tel qu'une carte d'identité ou un visa ou un passeport ou un permis de conduire, un ticket de loterie, un titre de transport ou encore un ticket d'entrée à des manifestations culturelles ou sportives.The security document may for example be a means of payment, such as a bank note, a check or a restaurant ticket, an identity document such as an identity card or a visa or a passport or a permit to drive, a lottery ticket, a ticket or an entrance ticket to cultural or sporting events.
L'invention a encore pour objet, selon un autre de ses aspects, un procédé d'authentification d'un document de sécurité tel que défini précédemment, dans lequel on superpose au moins partiellement le moyen de révélation à l'image combinée pour observer successivement les images imbriquées et on conclut quant à l'authentification du document, la superposition du moyen de révélation et de l'image combinée pouvant s'effectuer par pliage du document et/ou par superposition du document avec un autre objet, notamment un document similaire.According to another of its aspects, the subject of the invention is also a method for authenticating a security document as defined above, in which the revelation means are at least partly superimposed on the combined image in order to successively observe the nested images and it is concluded as to the authentication of the document, the superposition of the revelation means and the combined image can be performed by folding the document and / or by superimposing the document with another object, including a similar document .
Le moyen de révélation peut être une trame de révélation et l'observation des images imbriquées peut se faire par un déplacement relatif, en particulier par translation, du moyen de révélation par rapport à l'image combinée.The revelation means can be a revelation frame and the observation of the nested images can be done by a relative displacement, in particular by translation, of the revelation means with respect to the combined image.
Le moyen de révélation peut être un réseau lenticulaire et l'observation des images imbriquées peut se faire par un déplacement relatif, en particulier par translation, ou par un changement de l'angle d'observation du moyen de révélation superposé à l'image combinée.The revelation means may be a lenticular network and the observation of the nested images may be by relative displacement, in particular by translation, or by a change in the viewing angle of the revelation means superimposed on the combined image .
