Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a security strip intended to be incorporated in part in the structure of a security document at least partially made of fibers.
  • the first threads introduced into the paper were "drowned”, which means that they are trapped in the mass of the paper, being incorporated during the manufacture of the notes. They were designed so that they are invisible in reflected light and visible in transmitted light, that is to say by transparency.
  • the present invention aims to overcome these disadvantages by providing a strip which comprises two zones giving the illusion of being made of two different son and whose particular optical effects make fraudulent imitation particularly complex.
  • the present invention relates to a safety strip intended to be incorporated in part into the structure of a security document at least partially made of fibers, this strip emerging on the surface of said document in the form of a set of windows, and comprising a transparent or translucent support material, covered, on one of its faces, said "upper face", a visible coating by reflection, and which comprises a longitudinal strip at least partially free of said coating, which separates a first and a second son areas, covered with said coating characterized by the fact that each of said son zones respectively have two different optical renditions and / or effects reflected by reflection, and that they have negative patterns which are in register respectively with each other, that is to say that at least one pair of these patterns in registration always the same spacing pitch as it repeats along said zones.
  • the person who observes the security document in which this banner is integrated has the illusion of having to deal with two different threads, because they combine respectively two different renditions and / or optical effects. .
  • This phenomenon is combined with the identification of the motifs contained therein. In effect, the designs and / or messages contained in these patterns are invariably positioned relative to each other. others, and “respond” via axial or central symmetries, or even by translations or complement each other.
  • Another aspect of the invention relates to a security document, such as a bank note, a passport or the like.
  • This document is remarkable in that it incorporates a strip according to one of the characteristics identified above, which is incorporated within it, while emerging on the surface of at least one of its visible faces under the form of a set of windows.
  • the underside of the strip is covered with a layer of ink of the same color as that of the material which constitutes the document.
  • zones with different optical effects means zones which, visually, with the naked eye and by reflection, can be differentiated from each other. These are for example areas having a color change between two shades depending on the inclination of the support or accompanied by different diffraction effects of the light. In the embodiment in which the optical effects are the same, then the renderings will be different, which then only results in different color changes within the two wires.
  • the strip 1 according to the invention is represented at figure 1 annexed, partially integrated in a security document 2 which consists here of a banknote. According to a variant not shown, it could be another type of security document such as a passport.
  • This security document is preferably based on cotton paper, with or without chemical pulp, cellulose-based paper or any other material containing fibers of different types and weights. It is also possible to use a hybrid support combining polymer (s) and paper.
  • the strip 1 is partially incorporated in the document 2, while emerging at its surface in the form of a set of windows F.
  • This strip 1 comprises a central longitudinal strip 3 which separates from one another and delimits two son areas 4 and 4 'with straight and parallel edges. This gives the observer the illusion that the "threads" are separate and independent of each other.
  • each zone 4 and 4 ' is covered with a coating and each of them has optical renders E01 and E02 distributed in different regions.
  • the effect E01 is for example given by a magenta color coating that switches to green, while the E02 effect is given by a green color coating that switches to blue.
  • the strip according to the invention consists of a transparent or translucent support material 5, such as a plastic film.
  • a transparent or translucent support material such as a plastic film.
  • This is preferably polyester, for example with a thickness of about 10 microns.
  • On the "outer" lower face 51 of the strip ie that which is turned towards the core of the document, paper side, it is preferably coated with a layer of ink of the same color as the paper (by example of a thickness of about 2 microns). If this layer of ink is not applied, then at least partially the layers on the upper surface are seen. In other words, this ink has a masking function.
  • an outer adhesive layer approximately 4 to 5 ⁇ m thick is affixed to the assembly, on the side of the face 51.
  • motif means any design or character, whether alpha numeric or not.
  • negative means that it is delimited by a different contrast zone or contour, in this case higher. In other words, this zone or contour is visually reversed with respect to the subject.
  • the central strip is largely free of ink so as to delimit two distinct zones 4 and 4 '.
  • zones 4 and 4 ' is applied an optically variable layer. This is achieved by printing, for example, an OVI® or SICPASTAR® ink from SICPA. Preferably, inks 4 and 4 ', inks having different optical effects will be deposited.
  • the transparent parts of the strip 1 that is to say the parts devoid of opaque ink and / or metal deposition) will not have an optical effect of color change, unlike the portions of the strip in line with opaque areas.
  • a thin layer 7 of a metal for example aluminum or copper (creating a mirror effect) by any known technique of vacuum deposition, then de-metallization partial to create negative patterns.
  • a transparent layer 8 without particular optical effect is then deposited in controlled thickness, and a layer 9 'of an absorbent material of Inconel type (registered trademark). The color of the optical effect produced will depend on the thickness of this layer 8.
  • the central strip 3 devoid of coating and separating the strip into two distinct areas is printed using a second level security ink selected from fluorescence inks, phosphorescence, visible infrared etc. This impression is easily visible through the central strip 3.
  • the central strip 3, devoid of optically variable material may be previously coated with an opaque layer or metal type 7 itself partially “hollowed out” of material so as to create negative M-patterns.
  • partially hollowed out is meant that the coverage rate of said band is less than or equal to 50%.
  • These patterns will be difficult to see in reflection but easily visible by transparency. They are arranged so that they are in perfect registration with the zones 4 and 4 'optically variable. These patterns can take various forms such as blocks, and can be arranged in a periodic and repetitive manner.
  • these arrangements can create a sequence of "bar code” type automatically readable by a machine.
  • the opaque black ink may also have a conductive nature of the electric current.
  • the printed pattern must be continuous in the longitudinal direction of the strip on one or other of the zones 4 and 4 'to ensure electrical conductivity. This electrical conductivity can be read and detected by a sorting machine.
  • a security strip 1 with a width of 4 mm, incorporated in windows in a banknote 2. It is coated with an optically variable ink magenta / green visible in zone 4 and green / blue in zone 4 .
  • the strip has a band 3 devoid of material, a width of 1 mm separating the strip 1 in two disjoint parallel areas 4 and 4 '. Areas devoid of material are also arranged on each of the two bands 4 and 4 'in register with each other so that they form patterns exactly opposite each other.
  • a safety strip 1 with a width of 4 mm coated on the one hand, an optically variable green / magenta ink and secondly an optically variable ink magenta / green.
  • the strip 1 has a band 3 devoid of material, a width of 1 mm, separating the strip 1 into two disjoint parallel areas 4 and 4 '.
  • M negative units are arranged in register with each other respectively on one and the other of the zones 4 and 4 '.
  • an opaque ink forms patterns M 'in negative. These patterns are arranged in sequence of repetitive blocks. This sequence is slightly visible in reflection in the surface areas of the paper and easily visible in transmission.
  • a safety strip 1 consisting of two holographic zones 4 and 4 'having a diffractive effect of blue to red (through all the other colors of the visible spectrum) and a diffractive effect of red to blue.
  • the strip 1 has a band 3 without coating 1 mm wide, separating parallel areas 4 and 4 '. Patterns are arranged in register with each other respectively on one and the other of the zones 4 and 4 '.
  • an opaque ink creates negative patterns M '. These patterns are arranged in sequence of repetitive blocks. This sequence is slightly visible in reflection in the surface areas of the paper and easily in transmission.
  • the figure 8 still represents an embodiment of the strip, partially integrated in the paper of a security document.
  • an area 4 which has areas with a change of colors as in the previous embodiments and a zone 4 'with diffractive effect.
  • the central strip 3 are printed patterns of black color (and therefore not optically variable) together forming a kind of bar code.
  • the invention makes it possible to obtain a "double-wire" visual effect by using a single strip. This visual effect is authenticated by the general public.
  • the banner of the figure 9 has two zones 4 and 4 'of different width, the central strip 3, with straight and parallel edges being offset with respect to the longitudinal central axis of the strip.
  • patterns M and M ' the latter being negative, which together form a drawing, which here consists of the representation of a trombone. All the patterns of the bands 4 and 4 'is, of course, in registration. Band 4 varies from green to purple, while band 4 'has a purple metallic appearance.
  • band 3 whose longitudinal edges are not straight, but "wavy", that is to say slightly curved, convex portions being alternated with concave portions .
  • Band 4 varies from red to green, while band 4 'varies from blue to green.
  • the strips 4 and 4 'each have sawtooth edges, so it is the same for the central strip 3.
  • the strip 4 has a metallic appearance of copper type, while that the band 4 'has a metallic appearance of aluminum type.
  • each band 4 and 4 'of very different shape and appearance has a metallic appearance of aluminum type whose density varies along each of the bands.
  • the band 4 wider than the band 4 ', comprises multiple multicolored patterns.
  • the edges of the strip 3 are formed of a succession of portions of a circle, a long circular negative, repeated in this band, part of one of these portions of a circle.
