Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a security document. It also relates to a method of processing a security document.
  • Figures 1 and 2 show the front and back sides of a security document which here consists of a bank note, while the Figures 3 and 4 show a view of the cross-section of the ticket, respectively according to the plans AA 'and BB' shown in Figures 1 and 2 .
  • a security document 1 which consists of a ticket.
  • a security document 1 which consists of a ticket.
  • it could be a completely different security document, such as a passport page.
  • This note has two large faces opposite front 11 and back 10.
  • This ticket is provided with a security strip referenced 2. It extends transversely to the largest dimension of the ticket and joins the long longitudinal sides.
  • the headband is partially integrated into the body C of the bill so that it emerges only in a few places on the surface of the body C at the level of the front face 11, thus forming "windows" F. These are marked in the form of black areas at the figure 1 .
  • FIG 3 which illustrates as a simplification and without the elements represented are in proper proportions, a cross section of the ticket of Figures 1 and 2 according to the plane A-A ', that is to say opposite a bridge P, it is found that the security strip 2 is trapped in the body C of the ticket 1, its lower face being in the same plan that a delimitation of this body in two layers 101 and 111.
  • the upper zone of the forming hand 111 which incorporates the safety strip is slightly protuberant, due to a localized excess thickness generated by the strip 2 itself whose thickness is not fully compensated.
  • a security strip can be integrated in a "single layer” paper that is to say formed of a single layer of paper.
  • the major disadvantage of this single layer paper is the overlap of the opposite side of the wire.
  • the security strip 2 is flush with the surface of the recto face 11 of the document to form a window which corresponds to a zone slightly set back from the general plane in which the front face is contained.
  • Solutions consisting of creating pseudo-watermarks as in WO2013 / 093848 or to make more visible security elements buried in a paper as in documents EP0773320 and FR2929965 exist and play on the deopacification of paper.
  • the document WO2013 / 093848 uses the differences in aspects brought locally by the deopacification vis-à-vis the untreated zones to simulate a watermark.
  • the document EP0773320 discloses the incorporation of a web into the paper, but the methods of obtaining are nevertheless complex to implement with conversion steps.
  • the document FR2929965 treats a ribbon that can be made from locally deopacified paper integrated into another fibrous medium to improve its transvision properties.
  • the document FA 2 935 995 A1 discloses a banner emerging in several places on the surface of the body of the security document.
  • the present invention aims to increase the visibility of the strip integrated in the security document, without reducing the mechanical performance of the band / security document assembly as we know it today, without multiplying the manufacturing steps and / or cost-effective conversion and broadening the interaction between the banner and impressions to raise the overall security level of the document.
  • a security document having front and back faces and whose body is at least partially made of fibers, a security strip being at least partially integrated into said body, this body being impregnated with a deopacifying agent at least opposite a portion of said strip, characterized in that said strip is partially integrated in said body, so that this strip emerges in several places on the surface of said body at said front face, in thus forming windows, two consecutive windows being separated by a bridge corresponding to a region in which the strip is buried in said body, and that said deopacifying agent also impregnates the body in the zones located on either side of the longitudinal sides of said band, at least facing a region forming a bridge.
  • Another aspect of the invention relates to a method of processing a security document.
  • a security strip being at least partially integrated in said body which comprises a a step during which said body is impregnated with a deopacifying agent at least opposite a portion of said strip, characterized in that said strip is configured so that it emerges in several places on the surface of said body at the level of of said front face, thus forming windows, two consecutive windows being separated by a bridge corresponding to a region in which the strip is buried in said body, and that the body is also impregnated in the zones situated on the side and other longitudinal sides of said strip, at least facing a region forming a bridge.
  • the term "deopacifying agent” means a product or a mixture of products capable of making information more legible through a layer of fibrous materials, this agent having a strong wetting power and therefore a very low surface tension. This is the case for crosslinkable compositions under UV radiation, in which the monomers are chosen with very low surface tensions.
  • such a deopacifying agent there may be mentioned ultraviolet curing varnishes, silicone oils and waxes, and more generally products containing monomers with high wetting power.
  • Other drying means such as hot air and infrared radiation can be envisaged depending on the chemistry of the agents envisaged.
  • varnishes which are entirely suitable in the context of the present invention are, on the one hand, that referenced 669 440D of the Sun Chemical Company and, on the other hand, that referenced commercially under US Pat.
  • the composition Purintomark 300 offset can also be mentioned.
  • the deopacifying agent is applied to the security document so that it impregnates at least the regions directly above the bridges P, so that this agent significantly increases the readability of the marks. or signs worn by the headband at this level.
  • This readability is at least enhanced from the front face 11 according to an observation in reflection of this face.
  • the deopacifying agent is applied to the front face 11 of the document 1 in the form of a wide band which covers the whole of the safety strip 2, but also the zones 3 which are located on either side of its longitudinal sides of the headband.
  • this strip When the security strip 2 is integrated in the document 1, this strip generally has a "latitude" in its positioning.
  • the safety strip 2 is inserted in a lateral oscillation, for example of the order of 16 millimeters.
  • the deopacifying agent strip can be applied either to the stationery or to the printing press.
  • the documents are passed through a drying station, in particular using ultraviolet rays, in order to freeze the deopacifying agent in the desired region.
  • the deopacifying agent was also applied in the form of a broad band also covering the zones 3, but this from the reverse side.
  • This embodiment is particularly preferred since it has been seen that the reverse side communicates with a thin layer of fibrous materials, so that the amount of deopacifying agent to be used can be reduced and, in fact, the visibility of the strip is increased from this face.
  • the deopacifying agent is applied locally by printing, in particular by screen printing or flexography, only with respect to the zones of the bridges P, which of course makes it possible to control and limit the quantity of agent to be used.
  • the zones 3 facing the P bridges have a regular pentagon shape.
  • other shapes are possible, for example half-circle shapes.
  • the safety strip 2 was inserted in a way marked in the body C of the document.
  • the standard insertion of the strip in the body C does not provide that the marks or the security signs of the strip are registered in the longitudinal direction relative to the windows.
  • the strip is covered with an opaque coating, except in recessed areas together forming the symbol "FCOF".
  • the figure 12 is a sectional view according to plane AA 'of the figure 11 .
  • the strip 2 integrated in the body C of the document consisting of a single and single layer 111 is clearly distinguished.
  • the opaque contours O are devoid of material on certain parts thus forming a visible transmission pattern T in the form of the initials "FCOF".
  • the strip 2 is completely "embedded" in the body C of the document so that it is not visible in reflection from one or other of the faces 10 and 11.
  • the figure 13 is a view in reflection from the front face 11 of the document 1. According to this view, the strip 2 incorporated in the body C of the ticket is visible within windows (F) created artificially by deposition of the deopacifying agent.
  • the deopacifying agent is applied to the strip 2 and in the zones situated on either side of its longitudinal sides, only in certain distinct regions and separated two by two by a surface devoid of deopacifying agent. .
  • the advantage of this embodiment is to allow to create areas of visibility of the strip 2 in reflection from one or other of the faces of the ticket.
  • the security banner and / or the deopacifying agent can incorporate authenticatable agents during a machine automatic reading.
  • authenticatable agents are, for example, magnetic particles forming a continuous band, blocks or a code in the form of bits. It may also be conductive particles, fluorescent, phosphorescent, readable under infrared light or having a specific signal detectable with a dedicated device.
