Definitions

  • the invention relates to a security feature for documents of value, in particular banknotes, identity cards and the like, the security feature having at least two tactilely detectable structures which are located on at least one side of a substrate of the document of value.
  • Each of the at least two tactilely detectable structures here has a tactilely detectable surface condition, the surface condition differing from at least two tactilely detectable structures.
  • value documents such as banknotes, securities, credit or identity cards, passports, certificates and the like, labels, packaging or other elements for product security are equipped with security elements with tactile structures.
  • a data carrier in particular a document of value, such as a bank note, identity card and the like, is known with a substrate which has at least one paper layer and which is covered over both sides by a polymeric cover layer.
  • the substrate and the polymer cover layer have essentially congruent, tactilely detectable embossed structures which are produced by the action of an embossing tool on the polymer cover layer and the substrate and which have a total relief height of 20 ⁇ m to 400 ⁇ m.
  • a tactile structure In order to ensure good haptic recognizability for almost all groups of people, the tactile structure must be at least a certain height exhibit. Ideally, a tactile structure should have a height of more than 50 ⁇ m, preferably more than 80 ⁇ m and particularly preferably more than 120 ⁇ m. This ensures that the perception threshold for tactilely detectable elevations is exceeded and a user who strokes the tactile structures with his fingertip can perceive them as an elevation in relation to the surrounding substrate surface. A tactile structure can thus be perceived haptically independently of its optically perceptible appearance, so that the value document can also be clearly recognized by people with restricted or reduced visual acuity and checked for authenticity.
  • tactile structures are applied to a substrate by means of embossing, printing or transfer processes or by means of a combination of these processes. Furthermore, tactile structures can also be applied to a substrate by means of laser radiation, the laser radiation breaking up the surface of the substrate or causing the substrate to swell.
  • Embossing methods are also common methods for value documents in order to generate tactile structures.
  • the embossing also depends on the quality of the substrate.
  • Paper-based substrates can usually be partially deformed well using an embossing process.
  • the embossing height for banknotes made of paper is usually between 50 ⁇ m and 80 ⁇ m with an embossing die with an embossing depth of 120 ⁇ m.
  • the impression height is only between 20 ⁇ m and 50 ⁇ m, which is only about half as high as for banknotes made of paper and below or at the perception threshold for tactile structures .
  • BOPP biaxially oriented polypropylene
  • the embossing is usually carried out using the so-called intaglio printing process, in which an embossing stamp is pressed onto the substrate with high mechanical pressure.
  • intaglio printing in which an embossing stamp is pressed onto the substrate with high mechanical pressure.
  • both the classic ink-bearing intaglio printing in which the indentations of the embossing die are at least partially filled with a color
  • the so-called blind embossing in which the indentations of the embossing die are not filled, are used.
  • the haptic experience is due to the elevation itself, but above all to the partially different micro-roughness of the surface of the elevations, which, however, is only slightly perceptible.
  • a further disadvantage of all embossing methods is that the embossing of the substrate decreases during the life or the circulation of a bank note due to external influences such as moisture, temperature and pressure.
  • Tactile structures can also be produced with printing processes without simultaneous substrate embossing.
  • tactile structures such as Braille scripts, can also be created using screen printing.
  • the tactile structures are usually built up in layers by printing individual ink layers with a smaller thickness on top of one another, so that a total thickness or height of 0.2 mm to 0.3 mm results.
  • UV-drying inks or varnishes are usually used. These paints or varnishes usually contain no or only low concentrations of volatile components, such as Isopropyl alcohol (IPA), a colorless, flammable liquid.
  • IPA Isopropyl alcohol
  • tactile structures are generated by means of a transfer process in which the tactile structure is prefabricated on a carrier and then transferred to the substrate.
  • the transfer process is very costly, so that this process is usually not used for printing securities or banknotes.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of developing a generic security element in such a way that the disadvantages of the prior art are eliminated and the protection against forgery is further increased.
  • the sum of the areas of the at least two tactilely detectable structures, based on the total area of a page of the value document, is at least 30%, preferably at least 50%.
  • a third, preferably at least half, and thus largely the entire surface of one side of a bank note is covered with specific textures.
  • these structures result in a type of large-area "texture barcode" which can be clearly assigned to a denomination of a banknote series even by a visually impaired or blind person. It is essential to generate at least two clearly differentiable textures, such as a "rough / smooth" barcode, which define the assignment to one another in their placement.
  • the different tactilities or surface properties of such large-area structures can be grasped particularly well by visually impaired or blind people. This is particularly preferred even if the height of the tactile structures relative to the substrate surface is only slightly pronounced or at least less than would be necessary for a reliable tactile assignment for small-area tactile structures, for example with an area of a few square millimeters.
  • the specific textures can be applied in different printing processes, such as intaglio printing, screen printing or flexographic printing.
  • intaglio printing for example, line grids can be created over a large area, which are delimited by areas not treated in intaglio printing (and thus smoothly calendered areas).
  • Screen or flexographic printing can be used to create noticeably smooth surfaces, for example on the rough reverse side of banknotes with one-sided intaglio printing.
  • transparent and therefore optically imperceptible paint layers are suitable for creating special textures.
  • a particular advantage of the invention is a higher recognizability of textures through better adaptation to the physiological abilities of the human sense of touch compared to individual elements embossed in relief.
  • Another advantage of the invention is a better resistance of textures in the case of banknotes in circulation, since the effect is not based on a relief height, but on the flat texture of a surface. This is known to be subject to less signs of wear.
  • the substrate preferably comprises paper and / or a film, in particular a translucent one or transparent film (e.g. in the window area of a banknote).
  • the substrate consists entirely of either paper or plastic.
  • the substrate can also consist of different materials in some areas, and in particular consist of paper in one area and at the same time consist of plastic in another area, preferably of a translucent film. This makes it possible to emboss different materials as a substrate in one operation.
  • Translucent film is understood here to mean either a transparent or a semitransparent film, for example a translucent film which contains, for example, polyamide, polyester, polyethylene or biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP).
  • the surface of a tactilely detectable structure corresponds to at least the surface of a fingertip of the thumb or forefinger. It has been shown that structures with such a large area can be tactile detected particularly well by visually impaired or blind people.
  • the area of a tactilely detectable structure is at least 2 cm 2 , preferably at least 3 cm 2 .
  • At least one tactilely detectable structure has a smooth surface quality and at least one other tactilely detectable structure has a rough surface quality.
  • Such a large difference in texture is particularly easy to perceive by touch for visually impaired or blind people.
  • One printing process for producing tactile structures is, for example, the "X-Dot" spray nozzle process developed by the company hss baumer. This printing process was specially developed for the production of Braille fonts and is very similar to the ink-jet process. The transferred However, the amount of ink is several powers of ten larger than with a classic inkjet printer from the office area. The transferred drop of color is not achieved via a piezo element or short-pulsed thermal heating in the print head, as is the case with a classic ink-jet printer, but via a mechanical opening and closing of a shutter. With this process tactile structures with a height of up to 300 ⁇ m can be created.
  • the screen printing process is also known as a printing process according to the invention.
  • the printing ink is printed onto the substrate through a fine-meshed fabric using a rubber squeegee. Non-printing areas are made impermeable in the screen by means of a coating by means of an exposure process.
  • the layer thickness of the printing ink applied to the substrate is essentially determined by the screen thickness. The greater the thickness of the screen, the greater the height of the layer thickness transferred.
  • a tactile element can be produced on a substrate by means of a multiple coating using toner- or inkjet-based methods.
  • the tactile element can first be formed on an intermediate carrier (e.g. photoconductor drum or rubber roller) before the transfer to the substrate takes place.
  • the paint or lacquer layer according to the invention preferably consists of a grid-like arrangement of individual elements, these elements each being produced by a single drop or thread of paint and / or lacquer. This has the particular advantage that the tactile elements can be produced with just a single printing process. This results in a time and cost saving and an increase in efficiency.
  • a continuous or thread-like tactile element for example in the form of a groove, with the valve open and the substrate moving. It is also possible to generate a so-called multi-drop, in which a drop is overprinted with a protective varnish, or a combination of two different colored drops to form a tactile element.
  • the additional security feature consists of a variation in the size, height and / or shape of the tactile structures.
  • different tactile structures differ in their size, height and / or shape.
  • the additional security feature consists of tactile structures printed one inside the other and / or one above the other and / or next to one another, it being possible for the respective structures to differ in their properties.
  • the combination of visually similar but differently designed tactile individual elements can enable a distinction by means of different test methods (visual, haptic, machine-readable).
  • two adjacent individual elements can have the same geometry, the same color and photochromic properties, but differ in another property (e.g. magnetism or IR transparency).
  • the additional security feature consists of a micro-roughness of the surface.
  • the partially different frictional resistance between the locations of the substrate that has no tactile structures and the tactile structures of one Detected user with the fingertip are influenced by suitable fillers, the binder system for the paint or varnish and / or the drying process.
  • the additional security feature consists of a stickiness of the surface.
  • the tackiness of the surface is adjusted or changed in particular by selecting suitable binders of the paint or lacquer used and / or by adding anti-slip agents such as waxes.
  • the tactile structure forms tactile information in Braille that describes the value, currency, country and / or issue date of a banknote, this information being able to be read out by means of a sensor of a banknote processing machine via the additional security feature.
  • a machine-readable feature e.g. magnetic, IRA color
  • a further tactile element produced by means of an embossing process, lasering or intaglio printing process is applied on or next to the security element.
  • This further tactile element is applied to the substrate independently of the tactile element according to the invention, but it can interact optically with it, for example by the two together producing a pattern or a graphic image.
  • the tactile structures differ from value document to value document. This can, for example, be done in batches for the individual value (10, 20, ...) or production series (old 50 vs. new 50) or benefit-to-benefit (serial number). If there is a distinction between use and use, the screen printing process is not applicable, as screen printing does not allow individualization.
  • Fig. 1 shows a top view of a value document 1, for example a bank note, on the surface of which a total of four tactile elements 2 and 3 are arranged.
  • the two tactile elements 2 here have a smooth surface and the two tactile elements 3 have a rough surface.
  • each tactile structure has an area that corresponds to a quarter of the total surface of the document of value 1 and is thus formed over a large area, the person can clearly grasp the different tactilities.
  • this special arrangement of the tactile elements means that this document of value is a € 20 bank note.
  • Fig. 2 shows a top view of a value document 1, for example also a bank note, which in contrast to the value document from Fig. 1 but has a total of eight tactile elements 2 and 3. Just like in Fig. 1 the four tactile elements 2 have a smooth surface and the four tactile elements 3 have a rough surface.
  • a visually impaired or blind person runs the index finger and thumb of their left hand across the surface of the from left to right Document of value 1, the person first feels a rough surface with the index finger and a smooth surface with the thumb, then a smooth or rough, then again a rough or smooth surface and finally a smooth or rough surface.
  • each tactile structure has an area that corresponds to one eighth of the total surface of the document of value 1 and is thus also formed over a large area, the person can clearly grasp the different tactilities, which also differ in the thumb and forefinger.
  • this special arrangement of the tactile elements means that this value document is a € 10 bank note and thus a different bank note than the bank note Fig. 1 acts.
