Definitions
- the present invention relates to a security band intended to be incorporated in part into the structure of a security document at least partially made up of fibers.
- This integration can be done in "embedded” form, in which case the thread is completely integrated into the mass of the paper.
- the windows are visible by reflection, while the submerged parts are only visible by transmission.
- reflection is meant the phenomenon by which the rays of incident light are reflected on the surface of the support.
- the document US 2008/160226 A1 discloses, for example, a security band emerging from the surface of a security document in the form of a set of windows.
- this integration technique means that the security thread is only visible from the upper side of the paper, and only partially, that is to say at the level of the windows.
- the present invention aims to fill this gap. It also aims to facilitate the authentication of the security document which incorporates this band, in particular by the man in the street.
- the present invention in a first aspect, relates to a security strip intended to be incorporated in part into the structure of a security document at least partially consisting 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 or the other of its opposite faces, with at least three distinct and superposed layers of coating.
- this band comprises, among these three layers respectively designated first layer, second intermediate layer and third layer, a second intermediate layer which has an optical rendering different from that of the first and third layers.
- the second intermediate layer is opaque and comprises at least two regions at least partially devoid of coating, these two regions respectively having different contours and the first and third coating layers consist of at least one pattern, a part of the pattern of the first layer being visible through one of said two regions at least partially devoid of coating, while at least part of the pattern of the third layer is visible through the other of said two regions at least partially devoid of coating, said patterns being different from each other.
- the presence of an opaque intermediate layer makes it possible, on either side of it, to affix additional layers which will be respectively visible from the front face and the back face of the band. Moreover, insofar as the intermediate layer has partially hollowed-out regions of different outlines, the latter will constitute visible additional security signs and the authentication of the headband by the man in the street will be facilitated thereby. And jointly, the task of a fraudster will be made more complex.
- part of the pattern of the first layer is visible through one of these regions and that part of the pattern of the third layer is also visible through the other region makes the manufacture of the particularly complex headband, hence greater difficulty for fraudsters to produce the headband according to the invention.
- a stencil effect is thus obtained, that is to say a filter effect.
- the surfaces of the patterns are "filtered” by the shape of the regions and give different information depending on whether the strip is observed from its front face or its back face.
- This stencil effect thus generates different but intrinsically linked information.
- Another aspect of the invention relates to a security document such as a banknote. This is remarkable in that it includes a banner according to one or other of the preceding characteristics, which is incorporated into this document while emerging on the surface of at least one of its visible faces, as a set of windows.
- the security document is coated locally with a de-opacifying agent, that is to say improving the visibility of the band where it does not emerge on the surface of at least one of the visible faces of the document.
- the security document 1 shown in the figures 1 and 2 attached here consists of a banknote.
- 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, including at least some synthetic fibers. It is also possible to use a hybrid support combining polymer(s) and paper.
- a strip 2 is partially incorporated into the document 1, while emerging at its upper surface corresponding to the front face 10 of the ticket, in the form of a set of windows.
- the strip extends along the small transverse dimension of the ticket.
- the letter P has marked the zones of the band 2 which are integrated into the mass of the banknote and are therefore not completely visible, unlike the window zones F, as shown in the figure 1 .
- the headband according to the invention comprises a support material 4 that is transparent, or at least translucent, such as a plastic film.
- polyester film having, without limitation, a thickness of approximately 10 to 12 ⁇ m.
- this support material On the lower face of this support material, that is to say in the direction of the back face 11, there is a thickness 3 of adhesive or of a mixture of adhesives intended to secure the whole of the strip 2 of security with the fibrous material of the document in which it is to be inserted.
- the same material as that of the support 4 can be used.
- This coating is to protect all of the information contained at the level of the layers 5, while allowing their readability.
- the assembly is covered, on the front face side, with another layer 7 of adhesive, preferably of the same nature as layer 3 (but not necessarily).
- FIG. 4B represents what is visible on the recto side, that is to say according to a direction of observation which is located from above the layer 53.
- FIG. 4C it symbolizes what is visible according to the reverse face of the stack
- layer 51 is formed of a set of opaque patterns, for example consisting of a covering black ink printing.
- the patterns consist here, for illustrative purposes, of a curvilinear transverse line and whose acronym “FCOF” is printed upside down with the letter “O" full.
- the second layer 52 which can be described as intermediate, has an optical rendering different from that of the first layer.
- optical rendering it is meant that, when these two layers are observed with the naked eye, they can be immediately differentiated from one another, in particular by their color, their shine, their opacity /transparency and/or their different contrast.
- a characteristic of intermediate layer 52 is that it is opaque.
- any material having real opacity can be used, and it will be preferred, for example, to form this layer by means of a metallic deposit such as an ink print containing metallic particles with a gold, silver, copper, etc. effect.
- a metallic deposit such as an ink print containing metallic particles with a gold, silver, copper, etc. effect.
- This layer 52 partially covers the first layer 51.
- this intermediate layer 52 rests a third layer 53 which also has a pattern 530 consisting here of the stylized representation of the letter “O” on the one hand, and in the presence of four squares on the other hand.
- the materials used for the patterns of layer 51 are the same as those of layer 53.
- the intermediate layer 52 makes it possible to clearly differentiate the layers 51 and 53 from each other, as well as the patterns present therein.
- first layer 51 comprising patterns 510.
- intermediate layer 52 opaque whose some areas 520 are uncoated.
- a third layer 53 which is preferably identical in nature to layer 51.
- This layer forms patterns referenced 530.
- An additional layer that can be described as a fourth layer 54 superimposes the stack 5 of layers 51, 52 and 53.
- This layer 54 is identical in nature to or different from that of the second layer 52.
- This fourth layer 54 also exhibits perforated zones since the only region, in which a concealing material is present, is confined here to a circle 540.
- a fifth layer 55 covers the whole. It is preferably of a different nature than the first and third layers. Particularly advantageously, this layer 55 consists of an ink with effects chosen from among the optically variable, iridescent, liquid crystal type so as to create color change effects depending on the angle of observation.
- This layer can be semi-transparent and comprises patterns 550 which are located directly above patterns 530 and 510 or 540.
- the fifth layer 55 reveals a first piece of information consisting of the patterns 550.
- the opaque coating of the layer 54 has recessed areas overlapping with the layer 55 and the layer 53 can reveal incidentally, advantageously, another negative message which does not overlap layers 55 and 53.
- Coating 53 is only visible from the front face through the recessed areas of layer 54. Conversely, coating 53 is only visible from the back face ( Fig. 6C ) only through the recessed areas of layer 52.
- the information resulting from the stack 51, 52, 53, 54 and 55 directly above said recessed areas and overlapping layers 52 and 54 is different from an observation in reflection of one of the faces, reciprocally of the other face.
- a first layer 51 consisting of a covering black ink coating.
- this black layer occupies only part of the surface of the strip.
- a second intermediate layer 52 On this first layer is deposited a second intermediate layer 52, always formed of an opaque coating, for example of the metallic type, with areas devoid of coating.
- the shape of the dot and of the raster line as well as its orientation and its coverage are parameters well known to those skilled in the art.
- a grid of circular dots of 10 ⁇ m is proposed, with a coverage of 50% and an orientation at 45°.
- a third layer is affixed to the second layer 52. It may or may not be identical in nature to that of the layer 51 and, in the present case, they are of the same nature.
- the third layer 53 reveals a first piece of information consisting of the negative patterns 530.
- the opaque coating of the metallic type of the second layer 52 offers partially recessed areas overlapping with the first layer 51.
- the coating of the layer 51 is visible from the front side only through the partially recessed areas of the layer 52 , and, conversely, the coating of layer 53 is visible from the reverse side only through the partially hollowed-out areas of the second layer 52.
- the information resulting from the stacking of the three layers 51 to 53 plumb partially hollowed out areas of the layer 52 are therefore different from an observation in reflection of one of the faces, reciprocally of the other face, and present a visual rendering, semi-transparent and more nuanced than in the example of the figures 4A to 4C .
- the security document in accordance with the invention can be locally coated with a de-opacifying agent, that is to say improving the visibility of the strip 2 where it does not emerge on the surface of at least one of the visible sides of the document, so as to make the information carried by the first layer 51 of the stack 5 more visible.
- a de-opacifying agent that is to say improving the visibility of the strip 2 where it does not emerge on the surface of at least one of the visible sides of the document, so as to make the information carried by the first layer 51 of the stack 5 more visible.
- At least one of the layers 51, 52, 53, 54 or 55 can incorporate agents that can be authenticated during automatic machine reading. These are, for example, magnetic particles forming a continuous band, blocks or code in the form of bits. They can also be conductive, fluorescent, phosphorescent particles, revealed by infrared radiation or else comprising a specific signal detectable with a dedicated device.

Description
La présente invention se rapporte à un bandeau de sécurité destiné à être incorporé en partie dans la structure d'un document de sécurité au moins partiellement constitué de fibres.The present invention relates to a security band intended to be incorporated in part into the structure of a security document at least partially made up of fibers.
Elle concerne également un document de sécurité qui en est pourvu.It also relates to a security document which is provided with it.
Pour se prémunir contre les contrefaçons de documents de sécurité, tels que les billets de banque, on a déjà proposé l'utilisation de moyens de sécurité divers, tels que des filigranes, des fibres, des planchettes, etc.To guard against counterfeiting of security documents, such as banknotes, the use of various security means has already been proposed, such as watermarks, fibers, planks, etc.
D'autres techniques consistent à introduire dans le papier du document de sécurité un élément allongé en matière synthétique formant bandeau ou fil de sécurité qui permet d'accroître les difficultés de confection de produits contrefaits, mais aussi de faciliter l'authentification du document par les banques centrales lorsqu'il est muni de moyens détectables automatiquement (telle que la conductivité électrique ou le magnétisme) mais également par un utilisateur lambda, autrement dit l'homme de la rue pour des caractéristiques visuelles dites de premier niveau.Other techniques consist in introducing into the paper of the security document an elongated element of synthetic material forming a strip or security thread which makes it possible to increase the difficulties of making counterfeit products, but also to facilitate the authentication of the document by the central banks when it is equipped with means that can be detected automatically (such as electrical conductivity or magnetism) but also by an ordinary user, in other words the man in the street for so-called first-level visual characteristics.
L'intégration de ce fil ou bandeau est réalisée au moment de la fabrication de la feuille de papier qui va former finalement le document de sécurité.The integration of this thread or band is carried out at the time of the manufacture of the sheet of paper which will finally form the security document.
Cette intégration peut être faite sous forme "noyée", auquel cas le fil est intégré totalement dans la masse du papier.This integration can be done in "embedded" form, in which case the thread is completely integrated into the mass of the paper.
On a également proposé d'incorporer le fil de sécurité de manière à ce qu'il soit visible par réflexion, seulement sous la forme d'un ensemble de fenêtres.It has also been proposed to incorporate the security thread so that it is visible by reflection, only in the form of a set of windows.
Cela signifie que ce fil est incorporé dans la masse du papier, tantôt affleurant à la surface d'une des faces du billet, ce qui explique l'utilisation du vocable " fenêtre".This means that this thread is incorporated into the mass of the paper, sometimes flush with the surface of one of the sides of the banknote, which explains the use of the term "window".
Ainsi, les fenêtres sont visibles par réflexion, tandis que les parties immergées sont seulement visibles par transmission. Par le terme " réflexion", on entend le phénomène par lequel les rayons de lumière incidente se réfléchissent à la surface du support.Thus, the windows are visible by reflection, while the submerged parts are only visible by transmission. By the term "reflection" is meant the phenomenon by which the rays of incident light are reflected on the surface of the support.
Le document
Dans la pratique, cette technique d'intégration fait que le fil de sécurité n'est visible que depuis la face supérieure du papier, et encore partiellement, c'est-à-dire au niveau des fenêtres. La présente invention a pour but de combler cette lacune. Elle a aussi pour but de faciliter l'authentification du document de sécurité qui intègre ce bandeau, notamment par l'homme de la rue.In practice, this integration technique means that the security thread is only visible from the upper side of the paper, and only partially, that is to say at the level of the windows. The present invention aims to fill this gap. It also aims to facilitate the authentication of the security document which incorporates this band, in particular by the man in the street.
Un autre but est également de rendre la fabrication de ce bandeau particulièrement complexe, de manière à limiter et complexifier le plus possible la fabrication de bandeaux par des personnes non autorisées, autres que les imprimeurs fiduciaires. Ainsi, la présente invention, dans un premier aspect, concerne un bandeau de sécurité destiné à être incorporé en partie dans la structure d'un document de sécurité au moins partiellement constitué de fibres, ce bandeau émergeant à la surface dudit document sous la forme d'un ensemble de fenêtres, et comprenant un matériau support transparent ou translucide, recouvert, sur l'une ou l'autre de ses faces opposées, d'au moins trois couches distinctes et superposées de revêtement.Another object is also to make the manufacture of this strip particularly complex, so as to limit and complicate as much as possible the manufacture of strips by unauthorized persons, other than trustee printers. Thus, the present invention, in a first aspect, relates to a security strip intended to be incorporated in part into the structure of a security document at least partially consisting 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 or the other of its opposite faces, with at least three distinct and superposed layers of coating.
Conformément à l'invention, ce bandeau comprend, parmi ces trois couches désignées respectivement première couche, deuxième couche intermédiaire et troisième couche, une deuxième couche intermédiaire qui présente un rendu optique différent de celui des première et troisième couches. La deuxième couche intermédiaire est opaque et comporte au moins deux régions au moins partiellement dépourvues de revêtement, ces deux régions présentant respectivement des contours différents et les première et troisième couches de revêtement sont constituées d'au moins un motif, une partie du motif de la première couche étant visible au travers d'une desdites deux régions au moins partiellement dépourvues de revêtement, tandis qu'au moins une partie du motif de la troisième couche est visible au travers de l'autre desdites deux régions au moins partiellement dépourvues de revêtement, lesdits motifs étant différents l'un de l'autre.In accordance with the invention, this band comprises, among these three layers respectively designated first layer, second intermediate layer and third layer, a second intermediate layer which has an optical rendering different from that of the first and third layers. The second intermediate layer is opaque and comprises at least two regions at least partially devoid of coating, these two regions respectively having different contours and the first and third coating layers consist of at least one pattern, a part of the pattern of the first layer being visible through one of said two regions at least partially devoid of coating, while at least part of the pattern of the third layer is visible through the other of said two regions at least partially devoid of coating, said patterns being different from each other.
Grâce à cette combinaison de caractéristiques, la présence d'une couche intermédiaire opaque permet de part et d'autre de celle-ci d'apposer des couches complémentaires qui seront respectivement visibles depuis la face recto, et la face verso du bandeau. De plus, dans la mesure où la couche intermédiaire présente des régions partiellement évidées de contours différents ces dernières constitueront des signes de sécurité supplémentaires visibles et l'authentification du bandeau par l'homme de la rue en sera facilitée. Et conjointement, la tâche d'un fraudeur en sera rendue plus complexe.Thanks to this combination of characteristics, the presence of an opaque intermediate layer makes it possible, on either side of it, to affix additional layers which will be respectively visible from the front face and the back face of the band. Moreover, insofar as the intermediate layer has partially hollowed-out regions of different outlines, the latter will constitute visible additional security signs and the authentication of the headband by the man in the street will be facilitated thereby. And jointly, the task of a fraudster will be made more complex.
De plus, le fait qu'une partie du motif de la première couche soit visible au travers d'une de ces régions et qu'une partie du motif de la troisième couche soit également visible au travers de l'autre région rend la fabrication du bandeau particulièrement complexe, d'où une plus grande difficulté pour les fraudeurs à réaliser le bandeau selon l'invention.Moreover, the fact that part of the pattern of the first layer is visible through one of these regions and that part of the pattern of the third layer is also visible through the other region makes the manufacture of the particularly complex headband, hence greater difficulty for fraudsters to produce the headband according to the invention.
On obtient ainsi un effet pochoir, c'est à dire un effet de filtre. Autrement dit, les surfaces des motifs sont "filtrées" par la forme des régions et donnent des informations différentes selon que l'on observe le bandeau depuis sa face recto ou sa face verso. Cet effet pochoir génère ainsi des informations différentes mais intrinsèquement liées.A stencil effect is thus obtained, that is to say a filter effect. In other words, the surfaces of the patterns are "filtered" by the shape of the regions and give different information depending on whether the strip is observed from its front face or its back face. This stencil effect thus generates different but intrinsically linked information.
Selon d'autres caractéristiques avantageuses et non limitatives de ce bandeau :
- lesdits rendus optiques différents sont choisis parmi des couleurs, des brillances, des opacité/transparence et ou des contrastes différent(e)s ;
- lesdites régions sont totalement dépourvues de revêtement ;
- lesdites régions sont partiellement dépourvues de revêtement, et ont la forme d'un réseau tramé ;
- il comporte au moins une quatrième couche additionnelle ;
- ladite quatrième couche est opaque et se superpose à une partie du motif de la troisième couche ; et
- la couche la plus éloignée du support est recouverte d'une couche protective transparente, tel qu'un film ou un vernis.
- said different optical renderings are chosen from different colors, brightnesses, opacity/transparency and/or contrasts;
- said regions are totally devoid of coating;
- said regions are partially devoid of coating, and have the form of a raster network;
- it comprises at least one fourth additional layer;
- said fourth layer is opaque and is superimposed on part of the pattern of the third layer; And
- the layer furthest from the support is covered with a transparent protective layer, such as a film or a varnish.
Un autre aspect de l'invention est relatif à un document de sécurité tel qu'un billet de banque. Celui-ci est remarquable par le fait qu'il comporte un bandeau selon l'une ou l'autre des caractéristiques précédentes, qui est incorporé au sein de ce document tout en émergeant à la surface d'au moins une de ses faces visibles, sous la forme d'un ensemble de fenêtres.Another aspect of the invention relates to a security document such as a banknote. This is remarkable in that it includes a banner according to one or other of the preceding characteristics, which is incorporated into this document while emerging on the surface of at least one of its visible faces, as a set of windows.
Préférentiellement, le document de sécurité est enduit localement d'un agent désopacifiant, c'est-à-dire améliorant la visibilité du bandeau là où il n'émerge pas à la surface d'au moins une des faces visibles du document.Preferably, the security document is coated locally with a de-opacifying agent, that is to say improving the visibility of the band where it does not emerge on the surface of at least one of the visible faces of the document.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description détaillée suivante de quelques modes de réalisation préférés du bandeau. Cette description sera faite en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :
- la

Le document de sécurité 1 représenté aux
Selon une variante non représentée, il pourrait s'agir d'un autre type de document de sécurité, tel qu'un passeport.According to a variant not shown, it could be another type of security document, such as a passport.
Ce document de sécurité est préférentiellement à base de papier coton, avec ou sans pâte chimique, de papier à base de cellulose ou de tout autre matériau contenant des fibres de différents types et grammages, y compris au moins une partie de fibres synthétiques. On peut aussi utiliser un support hybride associant polymère(s) et papier.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, including at least some synthetic fibers. It is also possible to use a hybrid support combining polymer(s) and paper.
Ainsi que cela est bien connu de la technique antérieure, un bandeau 2 est incorporé partiellement dans le document 1, tout en émergeant au niveau de sa surface supérieure correspondant à la face recto 10 du billet, sous la forme d'un ensemble de fenêtres.As is well known from the prior art, a
Le bandeau s'étend selon la petite dimension transversale du billet. On a repéré par la lettre P les zones du bandeau 2 qui sont intégrées dans la masse du billet et ne sont donc pas complètement visibles, à l'inverse des zones de fenêtres F, comme le montre la
Lorsque l'on examine la face verso de ce même billet 1 (voir

Toutefois, cette représentation est uniquement faite à titre informatif. Ainsi notamment, les échelles de dimension des différents éléments que comporte ce bandeau 2 ne sont pas respectées. Toutes les couches ne sont pas représentées et figurent symboliquement sous forme de points.However, this representation is made for informational purposes only. Thus in particular, the dimension scales of the various elements that this
Comme montré sur cette figure, le bandeau selon l'invention comporte un matériau support 4 transparent, ou au moins translucide, tel qu'un film de matière plastique.As shown in this figure, the headband according to the invention comprises a support material 4 that is transparent, or at least translucent, such as a plastic film.
Il s'agit par exemple d'un film de polyester présentant à titre non limitatif une épaisseur d'environ 10 à 12 µm.It is for example a polyester film having, without limitation, a thickness of approximately 10 to 12 μm.
Sur la face inférieure de ce matériau support, c'est-à-dire en direction de la face verso 11, est présente une épaisseur 3 d'adhésif ou d'un mélange d'adhésifs destinée à solidariser l'ensemble du bandeau 2 de sécurité avec le matériau fibreux du document dans lequel il va être inséré.On the lower face of this support material, that is to say in the direction of the
Contre la seconde face du matériau support 4 est présent un empilement de couches 5 dont on décrira plus précisément la nature en relation avec les figures suivantes.Against the second face of the support material 4 there is a stack of
Une couche 6 de protection, par exemple constituée d'un film plastique ou d'un vernis, recouvre l'ensemble de l'empilement. De préférence, il est absolument transparentA
Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, le même matériau que celui du support 4 peut être utilisé.In a particular embodiment, the same material as that of the support 4 can be used.
Ce revêtement a pour but de protéger l'ensemble des informations contenues au niveau des couches 5, tout en permettant leur lisibilité.The purpose of this coating is to protect all of the information contained at the level of the
Enfin, l'ensemble est recouvert, du côté de la face recto par une autre couche 7 d'adhésif, de préférence de même nature que la couche 3 (mais pas obligatoirement).Finally, the assembly is covered, on the front face side, with another
A la
On a volontairement représenté ici seulement une petite fraction du bandeau 2 mais il est évident que ce bandeau se poursuit de part et d'autre des éléments représentés ici pour constituer une pièce suffisamment longue pour être incorporée selon la dimension transversale du document de sécurité.Only a small fraction of the
Par ailleurs, en ce qui concerne les
Selon l'invention, et dans ce mode de réalisation, on a affaire à un empilement de trois couches 51, 52 et 53. Pour la clarté de la représentation, ces couches ont été représentées comme étant délimitées par des lignes périphériques qui forment un rectangle. Ceci est toutefois une vue de l'esprit et il faut retenir que seuls les éléments qui seront décrits comme étant imprimés ou déposés doivent être considérés.According to the invention, and in this embodiment, we are dealing with a stack of three
Ainsi, la couche 51 est formée d'un ensemble de motifs opaques, par exemple constitués d'une impression d'encre noire couvrante.Thus,
Les motifs consistent ici, à titre illustratif, en une ligne transversale curviligne et dont le sigle « FCOF » est imprimé à l'envers avec la lettre « O »pleine.The patterns consist here, for illustrative purposes, of a curvilinear transverse line and whose acronym "FCOF" is printed upside down with the letter "O" full.
La deuxième couche 52, que l'on peut qualifier d'intermédiaire, présente un rendu optique différent de celui de la première couche. Par le terme « rendu optique différent », on entend que, lorsque l'on observe ces deux couches à l'oeil nu, on peut immédiatement les différencier l'une de l'autre, notamment par leur couleur, leur brillance, leur opacité/transparence et/ou leur contraste différent(es).The
Une caractéristique de la couche intermédiaire 52 consiste dans le fait qu'elle est opaque.A characteristic of
Tout matériau présentant une réelle opacité peut être utilisé, et on préférera par exemple former cette couche par le biais d'un dépôt métallique tel que une impression d'encre contenant des particules métalliques à effet or, argent, cuivre etc. On peut en variante procéder à un dépôt sous vide d'une fine couche d'un métal par exemple d'aluminium ou de cuivre opaque puis enlever localement ce métal par lavage à la soude ou à l'eau, de façon à créer des zones dépourvues de revêtement.Any material having real opacity can be used, and it will be preferred, for example, to form this layer by means of a metallic deposit such as an ink print containing metallic particles with a gold, silver, copper, etc. effect. As a variant, it is possible to proceed with a vacuum deposition of a thin layer of a metal, for example aluminum or opaque copper, then remove this metal locally by washing with soda or water, so as to create zones devoid of coating.
Cette couche 52 recouvre partiellement la première couche 51.This
De plus, elle est pourvue de plusieurs régions 520 en négatif, ce qui signifie qu'elles sont dépourvues de revêtement, ces régions présentant respectivement des contours différents.In addition, it is provided with several
En l'occurrence, on a affaire ici à une première région 520 qui consiste en une fenêtre formant le chiffre « 5 », et une autre région 520 qui est constituée par le nombre « 2014 », inscrit à l'envers.In this case, we are dealing here with a
Dans ce mode de réalisation, on notera également l'existence d'une troisième région 520' également formée par le chiffre « 5 ». On en reparlera ultérieurement, de manière plus précise.In this embodiment, it will also be noted the existence of a
Sur cette couche intermédiaire 52 repose une troisième couche 53 qui présente également un motif 530 constitué ici de la représentation stylisée de la lettre « O » d'une part, et en la présence de quatre carrés d'autre part.On this
Avantageusement mais sans que ceci en constitue une obligation, les matériaux utilisés pour les motifs de la couche 51 sont les mêmes que ceux de la couche 53.Advantageously, but without this constituting an obligation, the materials used for the patterns of
Quand on se reporte à la
Enfin, la région supplémentaire 520' se trouve à la verticale d'aucune impression au niveau de la couche 51.Finally, the additional region 520' is vertical to no print at
En revanche, lorsque l'on opère une observation par la face verso (
De cette description, il ressort que la couche intermédiaire 52 permet de bien différencier l'une de l'autre les couches 51 et 53, ainsi que les motifs qui y sont présents.From this description, it emerges that the
Toutefois, la présence de zones évidées, de formes différentes au niveau de la couche intermédiaire, laisse apparaître selon des observations de la face recto ou de la face verso, des informations différentes mais intrinsèquement liées par leur construction, permettant d'authentifier le document de sécurité qui est pourvu de ce bandeau.However, the presence of recessed zones, of different shapes at the level of the intermediate layer, reveals according to observations of the front face or the back face, different information but intrinsically linked by their construction, making it possible to authenticate the document of security which is equipped with this blindfold.

En se reportant cette fois-ci aux
Ainsi, on constate la présence d'une première couche 51 comportant des motifs 510. Sur cette couche est présente une couche intermédiaire 52 opaque dont certaines zones 520 sont dépourvues de revêtement.Thus, there is the presence of a
Là encore, ces zones 520 présentent des contours différents.Here again, these
Sur cette deuxième couche est apposée une troisième couche 53 qui est préférentiellement de nature identique à la couche 51. Cette couche forme des motifs référencés 530.On this second layer is affixed a
Une couche additionnelle que l'on peut qualifier de quatrième couche 54 vient en superposition de l'empilement 5 des couches 51, 52 et 53. Cette couche 54 est de nature identique ou différente de celle de la deuxième couche 52.An additional layer that can be described as a
Dans le cas d'espèce, elles sont de même nature.In the present case, they are of the same nature.
Cette quatrième couche 54 exhibe également des zones ajourées puisque la seule région, dans laquelle est présente une matière occultante, se cantonne ici à un cercle 540.This
Enfin, une cinquième couche 55 recouvre l'ensemble. Elle est de préférence de nature différente que les première et troisième couches. De façon particulièrement avantageuse, cette couche 55 est constituée d'une encre à effets choisi parmi le type optiquement variable, iridescent, à cristaux liquides de façon à créer des effets de changement de couleurs selon l'angle d'observation. Cette couche peut être semi transparente et comporte des motifs 550 qui se trouvent à l'aplomb des motifs 530 et 510 ou 540.Finally, a
Selon la
Le revêtement 53 n'est visible depuis la face recto qu'à travers les zones évidées de la couche 54. Réciproquement, le revêtement 53 n'est visible depuis la face verso (
Dans l'exemple des
La fonctionnalité d'un tel empilement est identique à celle des figures précédentes, mais le rendu visuel est différent.The functionality of such a stack is identical to that of the preceding figures, but the visual rendering is different.
Dans l'exemple de réalisation des
Par ailleurs, on notera que cette couche noire n'occupe qu'une partie de la surface du bandeau.Furthermore, it will be noted that this black layer occupies only part of the surface of the strip.
Sur cette première couche est déposée une deuxième couche intermédiaire 52, toujours formée d'un revêtement opaque, par exemple de type métallique, avec des zones dépourvues de revêtement.On this first layer is deposited a second
Plus particulièrement, il s'agit des zones 520 qui forment entre elles le nombre « 2014 » et qui sont réalisées sous la forme d'un réseau tramé.More specifically, these are
Cela signifie qu'il existe une multiplicité d'évidements dans ces zones, celles-ci étant toutefois séparées par de la matière constitutive du matériau de recouvrement.This means that there is a multiplicity of recesses in these zones, these being however separated by the constituent material of the covering material.
La forme du point et de la ligne de trame ainsi que son orientation et sa couverture sont des paramètres bien connus de l'homme de l'art. A titre d'exemple, et sans que ce soit limitatif, on propose une trame de points circulaires de 10 µm, avec une couverture de 50 % et une orientation à 45°.The shape of the dot and of the raster line as well as its orientation and its coverage are parameters well known to those skilled in the art. By way of example, and without this being limiting, a grid of circular dots of 10 μm is proposed, with a coverage of 50% and an orientation at 45°.
Enfin, une troisième couche est apposée sur la deuxième couche 52. Elle est de nature identique ou non à celle de la couche 51 et, dans le cas d'espèce, elles sont de même nature.Finally, a third layer is affixed to the
En se reportant à la
Le revêtement opaque de type métallique de la deuxième couche 52 offre des zones partiellement évidées en recouvrement avec la première couche 51. Le revêtement de la couche 51 n'est visible depuis la face recto qu'à travers les zones partiellement évidées de la couche 52, et, réciproquement, le revêtement de la couche 53 n'est visible depuis la face verso qu'à travers les zones partiellement évidées de la deuxième couche 52. Les informations résultantes de l'empilement des trois couches 51 à 53 à l'aplomb des zones partiellement évidées de la couche 52 sont donc différentes depuis une observation en réflexion de l'une des faces, réciproquement de l'autre face, et présentent un rendu visuel, semi-transparent et plus nuancé que dans l'exemple des
Enfin, dans le mode de réalisation des
Dans un exemple de réalisation non représenté, on peut enduire localement le document de sécurité conforme à l'invention avec un agent désopacifiant, c'est-à-dire améliorant la visibilité du bandeau 2 là où il n'émerge pas à la surface d'au moins l'une des faces visibles du document, de manière à rendre plus visibles les informations portées par la première couche 51 de l'empilement 5.In an exemplary embodiment not shown, the security document in accordance with the invention can be locally coated with a de-opacifying agent, that is to say improving the visibility of the
Dans encore un autre exemple de réalisation non représenté, l'une au moins des couches 51, 52, 53, 54 ou 55 peut incorporer des agents authentifiables lors d'une lecture automatique en machine. Il s'agit par exemple de particules magnétiques formant une bande continue, des blocs ou bien un code sous forme de bits. Il peut également s'agir de particules conductrices, fluorescentes, phosphorescentes, révélées par rayonnement infrarouge ou bien comportant un signal spécifique détectable avec un appareil dédié.In yet another exemplary embodiment not shown, at least one of the
