Description

The invention generally relates to a dewatering screen for the production of watermark paper. It relates in particular to a dewatering screen with a carrier screen and at least one watermark element arranged on the carrier screen with a relief in the form of a watermark to be generated. The invention also relates to a round screen for a paper machine or the like whose production screen jacket is formed by such a dewatering screen, and to a method and apparatus for producing a dewatering screen for the production of watermarked paper.

In papermaking on round screening or screening machines, pulp accumulates continuously on a moving dewatering screen and is solidified to the extent that it can be removed as a wet paper web for further processing of the dewatering screen. Above all, security papers for banknotes, identity documents and the like are often equipped with watermarks for security purposes, which permit verification of the authenticity of the security paper and which at the same time serve as protection against unauthorized reproduction.

For the production of detailed watermarks in Rundsiebechnologie typically a cylindrical welded Entwässerungssieb is used with a multilayer structure of different bronze screens. The desired watermark motifs can be embossed into the bronze screen or soldered onto the screen structure as so-called electrotypes. A generation of watermarks by means of a perforated injection-molded relief is also known and, for example, in the document DE 10 2006 058 513 A1 described.

The embossing of the bronze sieves, the soldered-on electrotypes and the injection-molded inserts each produce watermarks with an appearance in the paper that is characteristic of the respective technique. The combination of the above-mentioned techniques therefore makes it possible to generate structurally attractive, spatially-effective watermarks with high security against counterfeiting.

However, embossing and injection molding techniques can only be combined with bronze screens. By contrast, the plastic fabrics of plastic sieves can not be embossed, so there is currently no way to combine the injection-molded watermarks of the plastic sieves with embossed designs. Although plastic screens have various advantages over bronze screens and are extremely light and therefore easy to transport and readily stackable, especially with high stability, they currently can not provide the high attractiveness and designerial freedom that results from the combination of multiple watermarking techniques.

Proceeding from this, the present invention seeks to provide a dewatering screen of the type mentioned, which avoids the disadvantages of the prior art and in particular allows the creation of visually attractive watermarks with high security against counterfeiting.

This object is solved by the features of the independent claims. Further developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

According to the invention, it is provided in a generic dewatering screen that the at least one watermark element is formed by a stick-relief structure embroidered onto the carrier screen or by a watermark insert connected to the carrier screen by stitching. As explained in more detail below, visually attractive watermarks with a strongly textile appearance in the paper can be produced with the aid of the embroidery technique. Such watermark elements can also be used in particular in plastic mesh fabrics and combined there with other watermarking techniques, in particular with injection-molded inserts.

In an advantageous embodiment, the embroidered embossed relief structure comprises a sequence of stitches to straight or curved lines that form a raised, unfilled ornament or a raised, unfilled continuous pattern. Alternatively or additionally, the embroidered embossed relief structure may also include a plurality of closely spaced zig-zag stitches forming a raised, filled ornament or a raised, filled continuous pattern. The raised lines of the embossed relief structure create bright lines in the watermark during papermaking, while the raised, closely spaced zig-zag stitches create bright-appearing areas in the watermark.

The embossed relief structures can also be designed in the form of characters, numbers and codes and represent, for example, an alphanumeric string, a serial number or a barcode. The term ornament therefore includes in the context of this description not only patterns, but in particular also characters, numbers and codes.

The embroidered relief structure embroidered onto the carrier screen can also fulfill other functions in addition to its watermark-generating function. For example, the embossed-relief structure can be used to clean cut-off fabric edges of the screen fabric and to join two or more fabric layers. Depending on the type of mesh and the requirements at the seam, in particular with respect to mechanical strength, elasticity, visibility or invisibility, etc., a suitable stitch is used. In an advantageous embodiment, the embroidered embossed-relief structure connects two subregions of the carrier screen to one another, wherein, in particular, two edge regions of the carrier screen can be connected to the production screen jacket of a round screen. The zusammenzuschähenden edge portions are preferably sewn together shock to shock. It is also conceivable overlap of the edges or slightly spaced edges. Particularly preferably, the edges are formed so that they mesh in a grid-like manner during the impact-on-impact encounter. For example, the edges are cut in a zigzag shape or have rectangular recesses. The embroidered embossed relief structure serves both as a sieve seam and as a watermark-generating element in the connecting region of the two edge regions.

The possibility of sewing a dewatering screen with a stick-relief structure to the production screen jacket of a round screen allows for the first time the use of a plastic round screen. The sieve seam in the form of the stick-relief structure can be separated after paper production and the plastic production sieve sheath rolled flat or rolled up to a space-saving role. The particular advantages of plastic screens, namely in particular an optimized drainage, faster paper production, better anchoring of injection molding elements in the sieve, easier handling during screen production by the weight reduction, the lack of need for further Sieblagen as a substructure for the production screen and the simple storage of the production sieves are thus made available according to the invention for round screens.

The grid of the seam ensures the dimensional accuracy of the seam and requires no manual work to position the two edge areas during further processing.

Advantageously, a plastic adhesive is further applied in the connection region of the two subregions, which prevents a separation of the threads.

The embroidered embossed relief structure is advantageously formed by an embroidery thread, in particular completely formed by a single embroidery thread. The embroidery thread has a double function, since it forms the watermark-generating embroidery relief structure with its subareas lying above the surface of the support screen and, with its subregions engaging in the support screen, firmly bonds the embroidery relief structure to the screen fabric of the support screen.

The embroidery thread can be formed for example by a plastic multifilament thread. In principle, however, other embroidery threads suitable for the embroidery process come into consideration, which are tailored to the embroidery machine used, the embroidery needle and the screen mesh. Optionally, the embroidery thread can be used with a matching, different lower thread. The thread thickness can vary over a wide range, whereby the rule of thumb thread thickness ≈ mesh size - needle thickness has proven. The embroidery thread may consist in particular of polyester, polyetheretherketone, polyamide or another higher-value plastic.

In an advantageous embodiment, it is provided that a plurality of watermark elements is arranged on the carrier screen substantially nationwide, which produce a substantially nationwide watermark basic pattern in the paper in papermaking. Under a nationwide Arrangement is understood in this context, an arrangement in which the distance between adjacent watermark elements is not greater than twice the maximum diameter of the watermark elements. In an advantageous embodiment, the spacing of adjacent watermark elements is even at most as large as the maximum diameter of the watermark elements. In the case of endless watermark elements, instead of the maximum diameter, the transverse extent occurs perpendicular to the endless extent of the watermark elements. Such basic watermark patterns give the paper a characteristic overall appearance that is easy to check and distinguish from other paper designs.

The nationwide arranged watermark elements are formed in particular by embroidery relief structures in the form of ornaments or continuous patterns.

In a further development of the invention, the dewatering screen contains embroidered markings, such as control marks, track lines, register control marks or bow markings. These embroidered markings are provided in particular in addition to the useful watermarks already described in more detail.

In an advantageous variant of the invention, it is provided that the watermark insert connected to the carrier screen by embroidering is formed by a metal plate or an injection-molded insert. The watermark insert serves to generate the desired watermark in the security paper and is designed accordingly. The connection of the watermark insert to the carrier wire by embroidering not only creates a strong connection of the two elements, but also produces a characteristic and visually attractive appearance in the connection area. Different stitches can be selected for attachment of the watermark insert, the visual appearance of which in the watermark can absorb or supplement the appearance of the watermark generated by the metal plate or the injection-molded insert.

It goes without saying that a dewatering screen can have embossed relief structures embroidered onto the carrier screen as well as watermark inserts connected to the carrier screen by embroidering, in order to further increase the creative possibilities of variation.

The designs described can also be advantageously used to produce webs for embedded window filaments. For this purpose, a plurality of watermark elements are advantageously arranged at a distance on the carrier screen, which are formed by web-shaped embroidered embossed relief structures or by bar-shaped web inserts connected to the carrier screen by embroidering.

The sieve fabric of the dewatering screen can be a metal fabric, in particular a bronze fabric, or a metal-plastic mixed fabric, in particular a bronze-plastic mixed fabric. At present, however, it is particularly preferred if the sieve fabric of the dewatering screen is a pure plastic fabric.

In an advantageous embodiment, the support screen in addition to said at least one watermark element in a partial area on a multi-level relief in the form of another watermark to be generated, wherein the multi-level relief is formed by an injection-molded, perforated watermark insert. The watermark insert can in particular be welded or glued to the support screen, or be injected directly into the support. Further details of such an injection-molded, perforated watermark insert can the document DE 10 2006 058 513 A1 are removed, the disclosure of which is included in the present application in this respect.

The threads of the first, second and third weft thread system advantageously run substantially all parallel to one another. The threads of the first, second and third weft thread system advantageously each form a thread plane which does not interfere with the thread plane of the other two weft thread systems. Unlike the filaments of the weft yarn systems, the filaments of the warp binding system are not limited to one plane, but extend partially above, below and between the planes of the three weft systems and thus interweave them with each other. The thread thickness of the third weft thread system arranged in the intermediate plane is advantageously selected such that a desired overall thickness of the screen fabric is achieved. In a preferred embodiment, the thread thickness of the third weft thread system is between the thread thickness of the first, coarse weft thread system and the thread thickness of the second, fine weft thread system.

Specifically, the thread thickness of the first weft thread system is advantageously between 0.5 and 0.8 mm, preferably about 0.6 mm.

The invention will now be explained using the example of a dewatering screen for the production of banknotes. Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of a produced with a dewatering screen according to the invention banknote 10. The banknote 10 contains, in addition to other, not shown in the figure security and design features in particular an ornamental watermark 12 and an over the entire width of the note extending endless watermark 14. In the illustration the Fig. 1 It should be noted that the watermarks 12, 14 actually represent particularly bright spots in the banknote paper in transmitted light. For better representability, the two watermarks are in Fig. 1 drawn inverted, so that in the figure shown in black lines 16,17 and surfaces 18 actually occur in transmitted light as a particularly bright lines or surfaces in appearance.

As a special feature, the ornamental watermark 12 and the endless watermark 14 are produced by embroidered relief structures on the dewatering screen used for papermaking. They show a characteristic, strongly textile appearance, which gives the security paper of banknote 10 a distinctive character with high recognition value and thus also high security against counterfeiting. Fig. 2 shows schematically two sections of the plastic dewatering screen 20 used for papermaking in supervision. The plastic dewatering screen 20 includes Support screen 21, the single-layer plastic screen fabric 30 in Fig. 3 is shown in more detail in cross section.

The single-ply plastic screen fabric 30 includes three stacked weft yarn systems 22, 24, 26 and a weft binder system interweaving the weft yarn system 28, the section of the Fig. 3 parallel to the warp threads and perpendicular to the weft thread systems.

The underside machine side of the screen fabric 30 consists of a first, coarse weft thread system 22, the parallel threads in the embodiment have a thread thickness of 0.6 mm and the screen fabric 30 give the necessary stability. The top paper side of the screen fabric 30 is formed by a second, fine weft system 24 whose parallel threads have a thread thickness of only 0.2 mm and which provides a finely textured surface for paper attachment. Between the first and second weft thread system 22, 24 a third weft thread system 26 is arranged, wherein the thread thickness of the parallel threads of the third weft thread system 26 is selected so that a desired total thickness of the wire cloth 30 is achieved. In the exemplary embodiment, the thread thickness of the parallel threads of the weft thread system 26 is about 0.47 mm and leads to a total thickness of the screen fabric 30 of 1.6 mm.

The weft thread systems 22, 24, 26 are interwoven with a fine warp binding system 28 whose thread thickness is 0.15 mm in the exemplary embodiment. In Fig. 3 For example, two actually consecutive thread sections of the warp binder thread system 28 are shown by solid or dashed lines by way of example. The threads of the thread systems 22, 24, 26, 28 may for example consist of polyester or polyetheretherketone.

In order to produce the watermarks 12, 14, the support screen 21 is provided with watermark elements in the form of embroidered embossed relief structures 40, 50. The embossed relief structures 40, 50 are formed by a straight, bent or zig-zag embroidery thread 42 and 52 and at the same time by the same embroidery thread 42, 52 firmly woven into the support 21.

In the Fig. 2 Embossed relief structure 40 shown on the left comprises a sequence of stitches to curved lines 44, which form a raised, linear ornament piece on the surface of the support screen 21. Another filled ornamental piece 46 is formed by a plurality of closely juxtaposed zig-zag stitches which together form a small, raised surface on the surface of the support wire 21. While the raised lines 44 in papermaking lead to light lines 16 in the watermark 12, the raised surface of the zigzag stitches creates a corresponding, uniformly bright appearing patch 18 in the watermark 12.

In the Fig. 2 Embossed relief structure 50 shown on the right comprises a sequence of stitches to form straight lines 54 which form a raised, unfilled, continuous line pattern 54 on the surface of the carrier screen 21. The raised line pattern 54 results in papermaking according to the bright in transmitted light, formed from line pieces 17 endless line pattern of the watermark 14th

As an embroidery thread, for example, a 100% polyamide multifilament thread can be used, specifically about an ONYX 80 polyamide 6.6 thread.

The embroidered relief structures embroidered on the support screen 21 may be formed in a variety of shapes and sizes. In addition to the already illustrated ornaments and continuous patterns, embossed relief structures in the form of characters, numbers and codings are also possible. Exemplary in the supervision of the Fig. 4 two embossed relief structures 60, 70 each shown in the form of the letter "A". In the embroidery relief structure 60 shown on the left, the embroidery thread 62 is arranged with a series of stitches to straight lines 64, which form the raised outline of the letter "A" on the surface of the support screen.

In the case of the relief structure 70 shown on the right, a multiplicity of closely spaced zig-zag stitches 72 are formed with the embroidery thread, as shown schematically in detail detail 76. The zigzag stitches 72 completely fill out the outline 74 of the letter and together form on the surface of the carrier screen 21 a raised surface in the shape of the desired letter "A".

During papermaking, the embossed relief structure 60 in the paper produces a watermark in the form of a light letter outline "A", while the watermark generated by the embossed relief structure 70 shows the letter "A" in transmitted light as a bright, filled area.

Regarding Fig. 5 For example, a plurality of embossed relief structures 82 may also be provided on the carrier screen 80, which are formed, for example, in the form of small star-shaped ornaments extending over the entire surface of the carrier screen 21 and thus during paper manufacture a paper with a substantially nationwide watermark Generate basic patterns. It is understood that 80 additional watermark elements, for example in the form of more on such a carrier screen Embossed relief structures or in the form of watermark inserts may be provided, which may be introduced by injection molding in a recess of the support wire, for example.

Instead of the individual ornaments 82 of the Fig. 5 Of course, endless watermark basic patterns can be provided everywhere, for example in the form of curved lines or guilloches. Fig. 6 shows by way of illustration a design in which a plurality of stitches to curved wavy lines 84 are strung together on the surface of the support screen 80 with an embroidery thread. The resulting paper then shows a nationwide basic watermark pattern of bright wavy lines.

The embroidered embroidery relief structures can also serve a further purpose in addition to their watermark-generating function. Regarding Fig. 7 For example, an endless embroidered embossed relief structure 90 can connect two partial regions 92, 94 of a dewatering screen. In particular, two edge regions 92, 94, that is to say, for example, the right and left edge regions of a planar dewatering screen, can be connected to the production screen jacket of a cylindrical circular screen. The embossed relief structure 90 thus serves, on the one hand, as a screen seam and, on the other hand, at the same time as a watermark-generating element. By sewing the edge areas, plastic screens can be used for the first time as production screens for round screens. By virtue of the visually attractive watermarks produced with the embossed relief structure 90, even the connecting region 96 of the two edge regions 92, 94 can be used for the papermaking.

To prepare the connection of the edge regions 92, 94 with the sieve / embroidery relief structure 90, the threads of the plastic sieve in the End portions of the edge portions cut off and fused, in particular by laser processing or by hot blades. For sewing, for example, an ONYX 80 polyamide 6.6 thread can be used as the embroidery thread. It is understood that other seam patterns than those in Fig. 7 shown pattern can be used for the connection, for example, a 4-stitch zig-zag pattern with a width of about 8 mm.

After the seam has been sewn, a plastic adhesive is advantageously applied to the inner side of the screen in the connection region 96 for the purpose of securing, in order to prevent separation of the threads.

Fig. 8 illustrates another way to provide a carrier screen 100 by embroidering with a watermark element. In this variant, the watermark element is formed by a watermark insert 102 connected to the carrier screen 100 by stitching. The watermark insert 102 may be, for example, a metal plate or an injection molding insert that produces a desired watermark in the security paper. The watermark insert 102 is embroidered with decorative and / or utility stitches with the embroidery thread 104 on the support screen 100, whereby on the one hand a firm connection of the watermark insert 102 is ensured with the support plate 100, and on the other hand, the connection area formed by the stitches itself a characteristic and visually attractive Appearance.

In this way, the attachment of the watermark insert 102 by means of the embroidery thread 104 itself becomes a part of the security feature which can not be easily mimicked by other attachment methods such as gluing, welding or a spraying technique.
