Definitions

  • the invention relates to a numbering printing unit for printing a security document with a character string, in particular for printing banknotes and / or securities, comprising several but at least three type wheels arranged next to one another, each of the type wheels having circumferentially spaced printing surfaces, with engravings on the printing surfaces Generation of a character are arranged.
  • the invention relates to a security document, in particular bank note and / or security, comprising a character string that deviates from a linear alignment.
  • numbering printing unit is to be understood in the broadest sense. This generally includes numbering units, numbering machines or printing units that are used to apply a character string to a security document.
  • Numbering printing units are well known from practice. For example, see the EP 0 718 112 B1 as well as on the DE 10 2006 052 183 A1 referred. Other numbering printing units are, for example, from the EP 0 825 036 A1 known.
  • security documents for example banknotes, securities, lottery tickets etc.
  • security documents are provided with a consecutive numbering.
  • the security document is individualized and thus clearly identifiable.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object of designing and developing a numbering printing unit of the generic type in such a way that it is possible to apply printing which is as forgery-proof as possible to the security document using structurally simple means and at the same time and cost-saving. Furthermore, a correspondingly printed security document should be given.
  • a string can consist, for example, only of numbers or letters etc. or any combination of characters, for example from letters and numbers.
  • the numbering printing unit according to the invention has at least three type wheels, so that two of the type wheels specify the linear alignment of the character string, and the third type wheel prints the character deviating from this alignment due to the different positioning of the engravings on the printing surface.
  • the numbering printing unit can also have any larger number of type wheels.
  • the engravings can be positioned off-center on the printing surfaces, at least in one of the type wheels.
  • the engravings can be offset from the center of the printing surface in such a way that the character printed with this type wheel protrudes "laterally” from the character string.
  • the other type wheels can also have engravings that are positioned centrally on the printing surfaces in accordance with the prior art. This offers the possibility of "upgrading" existing numbering printing units by exchanging at least one of the type wheels, so that the character string can be printed on the security document in a manner different from a linear alignment.
  • the engravings are positioned such that the characters of the character string can be printed on one another on the security document, the positioning of the engravings on the printing surfaces being different from one another in at least two of the type wheels, so that the character string can be printed on the security document in a manner different from a linear alignment , with each of the type wheels the engravings being positioned on the printing surfaces in such a way that the course of the character string has a defined geometry and runs in a curve, the course of the character string corresponding to a sine function or cosine function rotated by 90 °.
  • a further increase in security against counterfeiting can be achieved if the engravings of at least two type wheels each have characters of different sizes and / or fonts.
  • the engravings of at least one type wheel in contrast to the engravings of another type wheel, can be arranged rotated about a normal vector of the respective printing surface. This measure also makes it difficult to imitate the string.
  • the engravings of the type wheels can be arranged rotated in such a way that the alignment of the characters follows the course of the character string.
  • the deviation of the positioning of the engravings from at least two of the type wheels can be 0.01 mm to 0.1 mm, in particular 0.05 mm.
  • the course of the string of the security document has a defined geometry and runs in a curve, the course of the string corresponding to a sine function or cosine function rotated by 90 °, the string being produced with a numbering printing unit according to one of claims 1 to 6.
  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of a top view of a first embodiment of a numbering printing unit according to the invention.
  • the numbering printing unit comprises five rotationally driven type wheels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 arranged side by side on a shaft.
  • the numbering printing unit can have a smaller number of type wheels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, but at least three type wheels 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, or any larger number Have type wheels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
  • the number of five type wheels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 selected in the figures is therefore only exemplary.
  • the type wheels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 each have pressure surfaces 6 spaced apart in the circumferential direction. Engravings 7 for generating a character are arranged on the printing surfaces 6. For reasons of clarity, the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 not all of the printing surfaces 6 and engravings 7 are provided with a reference number.
  • the engravings 7 can be designed to generate any character, for example a letter, a number, etc.
  • the engravings 7 are designed for printing a letter.
  • the type wheels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are each rotated such that the desired character is in the printing position.
  • the type wheels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 of the numbering printing unit are aligned in such a way that the character string "AIUWA" is printed one above the other on the security document.
  • Fig. 2 shows a second embodiment of a numbering printing unit according to the invention.
  • the numbering printing unit corresponds to the exemplary embodiment according to Figure 1 .
  • the engravings 7 of the first type wheel 1, the third type wheel 3 and the fifth type wheel 5 are arranged rotated by a normal vector of the respective printing surface 6. The rotation is designed such that the characters take up the direction of the course of the character string 8.
  • the implementation of a device can include the eccentric arrangement of the engravings 7 on the pressure surfaces 6 of a single type wheel 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
  • Fig. 3 shows a schematic representation of an embodiment of a security document according to the invention.
  • the security document has a character string 8 that deviates from a linear orientation and, in the exemplary embodiment specifically shown here, corresponds to a sine function rotated by 90 °.
  • the dash-dotted base line 9 and the dash-dotted side lines 10 only serve to simplify the dimensioning of the course of the character string 8, but are not applied to the security document or a part thereof.
  • the maximum distance of a character from the base line 9, ie the distance between base line 9 and side line 10, is in the Fig. 3
  • the exemplary embodiment shown is at least 0.5 mm, so that the course of the character string 8 which deviates from a linear orientation is clearly visible.
  • the direction of the imprint of the numbering printing unit is indicated by the arrow 11.
