Definitions

  • the invention relates to a security element for security papers, documents of value or the like, with a carrier which is at least partially transparent or translucent, a first printed image attached to the carrier and a second printed image attached to the carrier, which is arranged under the first printed image.
  • the invention further relates to a document of value with such a security element.
  • the invention relates to a manufacturing method for a security element for security papers, documents of value or the like, in which a carrier is provided with a first print image and with a second print image which lies under the first print image.
  • Items to be protected are often provided with a security element that allows verification of the authenticity of the item and at the same time serves as protection against unauthorized reproduction.
  • Items to be protected include, for example, security papers, identity and value documents (such as banknotes, chip cards, passports, identification cards, identity cards, stocks, bonds, certificates, vouchers, checks, tickets, credit cards, health cards, etc.) as well as product security elements such as security items. Labels, seals, packaging.
  • the security against forgery of a security element is particularly great when the security element shows in perceptible motives that lie in a certain position to each other and / or difficult to imitate or copy.
  • a security element which has a translucent carrier material which has on one side a first periodic dot or line print pattern and on a second side a second periodic dot or line print pattern substantially mirror-inverted.
  • the WO 2008/098739 A2 describes a security element in which front and back side information complement each other.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a security element that shows different motifs on the front and back and in transmitted light viewing another motif in good quality.
  • the object is further achieved by a value document with such a security element.
  • the object is also achieved by a production method according to claim 8, in which the line grids are matched to one another in such a way that the line grids complement each other at a certain viewing angle in such a way that a motif formed by one of the line grids is extinguished.
  • the security element according to the invention achieves a tilting effect by means of line grid structures which can be produced with a relatively simple pressure. Due to the one-sided structuring of a line grid according to WO 2004/020217 A1 , Tilting makes it easy to achieve shading or masking of the motif, which is structured with the one-sided line raster. It is therefore provided in a development that the line grids are coordinated so that the line grid in a certain viewpoint so complement each other in such a way that a formed by the one-sided structured line grid motif is extinguished.
  • both line grids can be modulated on one side and be formed so that they complement each other in view looking for at least two different motives.
  • Printing technology is it preferred here, if both line grids have the one-sided modulation on the same side of their lines.
  • the two line grids are aligned parallel to one another in order to achieve the viewing angle-dependent supplementing of the line grids according to the invention.
  • the line grids preferably also have the same spatial frequency transversely to the line direction.
  • the angle then changes the phase, which have the line grid to each other and thus reaches the complement, which can also be a shadow.
  • the printed images are in different levels. This can z. B. be achieved in that they are arranged on top or bottom of the carrier.
  • the grid structures may be slightly offset from each other or printed; Nevertheless, the function is guaranteed. The most exact possible registration (top / bottom) should be sought.
  • Another possibility is the printing of two carrier layers, which can be combined in the process step (eg card production in the "sandwich process").
  • Another possibility is to pre-print one page conventionally and to image the other side with a laser, inkjet, laser printing process. This allows for personalization.
  • the implementation of the print images can generally be done as a number, number, ornamentation, pictorial representation, portrait and a combination thereof.
  • the invention makes it possible to recognize two subjects in the interplay by tilting the carrier.
  • the manufacturing method can also be carried out in multiple stages in order to achieve an individualization of a security element.
  • the manufacturing process first generates a precursor of the security element, at which a one-sided modulation of at least one line grid is carried out at the end of the production process in order to individualize the security element.
  • the order of application of the line grid and the generation of half-side modulation can thus be adapted to the respective conditions, in particular the modulation does not have to be done when printing the line grid, but can also be subsequently formed, the.
  • the print images can have different colors, in particular the print can be executed in color in different colors, wherein first and second print image can be varied differently.
  • further pattern or image-forming elements can be provided, which can be made flat or adapted to the line grids. In this way, for example the attention of a viewer are distracted by the actual tilt information in supervision, which is then perceived only when tilting.
  • the security element also has the advantage that its characteristic structure can be recognized without aids for a viewer.
  • the modulated line rasters can preferably be realized with a line width between 20 ⁇ m and 200 ⁇ m, particularly preferably between 50 ⁇ m and 150 ⁇ m.
  • the security element can be designed, in particular, as a security thread, tear-open thread, security strip, security strip, patch or as a label for application to a security paper, value document or the like.
  • the security element can span transparent areas or recesses.
  • security paper is understood here in particular as the precursor that can not yet be processed to form a value document which, in addition to the security element according to the invention, may also have further authenticity features (such as, for example, luminescent substances provided in the volume).
  • Value documents are here understood, on the one hand, documents produced from security papers.
  • value documents can also be other documents and objects which can be provided with the security feature according to the invention, so that the value documents have non-copyable authenticity features, whereby an authenticity check is possible and at the same time unwanted copies are prevented.
  • the reciprocal property of translucency is opacity.
  • An at least partially transparent or translucent body according to the invention consists, for example, of paper made of cotton fibers or other natural fibers or of synthetic fibers, i. a mixture of natural and synthetic fibers.
  • the body may consist of a film or plastic film or a film composite or of a composite of at least one paper layer which is covered on both surfaces by at least one film or plastic film and / or at least one lacquer layer. It can also be a card body.
  • the production method according to the invention can be developed so that the described preferred embodiments and embodiments of the security element are produced.
  • Fig. 1 Simplified perspective shows a security element 1.
  • the basis for the security element 1 is a carrier 2, which can be realized for example by a plastic film. This plastic film is transparent or even translucent, as will be explained later.
  • the security element 1 can be provided, for example, for a banknote. In particular, it may be arranged partially over a window provided in the banknote.
  • a print layer At the top 3 of the security element 1 is a print layer. The same applies to the bottom 4.
  • the printing layer on the top 3 provides z. B. is a first motif obtained by line screening.
  • a first line grid 5 located at the top 3, a first line grid 5.
  • a second linienraastertes motif is printed, which is formed by a second line grid 6.
  • Both line grids are designed as one-sided modulated line grids, ie the information modulation is on all lines only at one edge, whereas the other edge is not modulated.
  • the modulation is in the simplified representation of Fig. 1 achieved by stepped structures. Other structuring is equally possible, such as waves, arcs or circular structures.
  • Fig. 2 shows that the two line grids complement each other depending on the viewing angle of a viewer 7.
  • the parallel line grids 5 and 6 are displaced by tilting the carrier 2 or by corresponding change in the viewing angle perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the lines.
  • Fig. 2 are exemplarily different directions of view A, B and C registered. Each viewing direction causes a different phase of the parallel Line pattern.
  • the effect of this phase shift shows the Fig. 3 in three partial pictures, which correspond to the corresponding angles of view Fig. 2 assigned.
  • the line rasters complement each other so that the modulation is determined exclusively by the line grid 5, since only its modulated edge is visible.
  • the other edge of the line grid 6 is covered.
  • Fig. 3 Views of the security element 2 from the bottom.
  • the modulated edge of the line grid 5 When viewed B, the modulated edge of the line grid 5 is almost completely covered, and in the direction C the line grids are shifted from each other so that only the modulated edge of the line screen 6 can be seen. The modulated edge of the line grid 5, however, is covered.
  • Fig. 3 clearly shows that the use of a one-sided modulated line grid is essential for the tilting effect.
  • a two-sided modulation as is common in the prior art and would also be desirable from a contrast point of view, there would be no state such as Viewing A or Viewing Point B, in which the modulated information of a line screen is completely visible, although its other edge is covered is.
  • Due to the one-sided modulation of the line grid in which one edge of the lines is always smooth, ie not modulated, the coverage of individual line edges is harmless.
  • Fig. 4 shows that the described concept can also be used for shading. If a line raster, in the example the line raster 5, is not modulated, a complete coverage of the modulated edge of the other line raster results, depending on the viewing angle. This condition is in the left part of the figure Fig. 4 shown. From another perspective, which can be seen in the right part of the figure, the non-modulated line grid 5 is on the other hand shifted relative to the modulated line grid 6, that the modulated edge of the line screen 6 is visible. This recognizes the motif encoded by it. The result is an easy to produce shading image that is recognizable only at a certain angle.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 illustrate that the production of the described security element can also be done in two stages. This allows an individualization of the security element.
  • at least one of the two line grids is executed without modulation.
  • the other line grid can optionally be provided with a modulation.
  • This condition is in Fig. 5 represented, in which the line grid 6, for example, is modulated so that the printed image represents the portrait of a card holder.
  • the line grid on the other side of the carrier is not modulated.
  • the right part of the figure Fig. 5 therefore shows an unstructured line grid 5a.
  • This line grid 5a can, as Fig. 6 clarified, are now structured in a processing step 8 to provide further information in the form of an individualization.
  • the result is a structured line grid 5b.
  • the motifs of the line grid 6 and the individualized line grid 5b complement one another, for example the line grid 5b can code a passport number, and the line grid 6 shows the picture of the passport holder.
  • the printing of the line grid can be performed in color, in particular, for the line grid 5 and 6 different colors can be used.
  • At least one of the line grids 5, 6 can also be generated completely by lasering by a laser acting on the corresponding side of the carrier 2 and changed such that the line grid is visually recognizable.
  • This may preferably be applied to passports or ID cards in which individual information, for example a signature or an image, is introduced into or on certain layers which are preferably provided with the substances absorbing the laser radiation. So you can z. B. the two sides of a card body, which acts as a carrier, laser accordingly.
  • the carrier 2 has a certain degree of transparency or translucency. If a transparent support 2 is used, the subject appears particularly clearly in a transmitted light view, but a translucent support can also be sufficient.
  • the substrate used may in particular be single-layered or multi-layered and also carry suitable coatings. Printing, pasting, laminating, laminating or other surface treatments are possible. Also, the pamphlets may be at least partially within a substrate. What is essential is that they lie in spaced planes.
  • the security element according to the invention can also be combined with other security features in order to achieve a better protection against imitation or copying.
