Description

A LAMINATED LASER-ENGRAVING-REACTIVE PAGE CARRIER COMPRISING A HINGE LAYER AND AN EMBEDDED ELECTRONIC CONTACTLESS MEDIUM FOR RECORDING, A NON-PERSONALISED MANUAL IDENTITY BOOKLET INCLUDING SUCH A PAGE CARRIER, AND THE METHOD FOR PRODUCING
SUCH A BOOKLET
The present invention concerns a laminated page carrier comprising a laser-engraving-reactive page, a thin hinge element and an embedded electronic contactless medium for recording, where the hinge element represents the protruding flexible part, while the page carrier can be inserted into the non-personalised manual identity booklet, in particular a non-personalised passport, which includes such a page carrier, and a method for producing such a booklet. The non-personalised manual identity booklet, in particular the non-personalised passport, has a firmly bound assembly of at least a cover and multiple pages among which a particularly durable laser-engraving-reactive laminated page is dedicated to the subsequent operation of secure personalisation with given personal identification data by a legal authorised entity. The non-personalised manual identity booklet, in particular the non-personalised passport comprising an embedded electronic contactless medium for recording, contains in addition an electronic component, in particular a contactless chip, dedicated to the subsequent operation of secure personalisation with given individual identification data and biometric data of a legal holder by a legal authorised entity. The electronic contactless medium is embedded during the manufacturing process and is located in page carrier (2). The page carrier (2) represents in a non-personalised manual identity booklet, in particular in a non-personalised passport, a page containing an embedded electronic contactless medium for recording, whereas the laminate of the page carrier represents the laminated part of such a page carrier.
In this implementation example, the page carrier (2) can be made as a two-count page carrier or a two-count page carrier unit (1) comprising a laser-engraving-reactive page, which is used in the manufacturing process of a non-personalised manual identity booklet, in particular a non-personalised passport, and includes two counts of page carrier or two page carrier units, positioned next to each other, and having a flexible part which protrudes from the same edge of the laminate. This two-count page carrier or two-count page carrier unit comprising a laser-engraving-reactive page is manufactured according to the process.
The page carrier unit (1 ) in a non-personalised booklet represents the page carrier (2) comprising an embedded electronic contactless medium for recording plus the rest of the flexible part protruding from the laminate - hinge layer (3), or it represents the page-carrier (2) laminate comprising an embedded electronic contactless medium for recording with a laser-engraving-reactive page plus the entire flexible part - hinge layer (3). The protruding flexible part - hinge layer (3) of the non-laminated area serves as a secure connecting thin hinge between the laminate and the rest of the non-personalised booklet, in particular of the non-personalised passport.
The laminated page carrier (2) comprising an embedded electronic contactless medium for recording with a laser-engraving-reactive page is inserted into a non-personalised manual identity booklet, in particular in a non-personalised passport, and together with the hinge layer (3) represents the page carrier unit (1) comprising a laser-engraving-reactive side and is manufactured according to the process.
Personalised manual identity booklets, in particular passports, comprise personal data elements, which contain personal identification data of the legal holder in accordance with ICAO standards. These data feature among others the full name, photo, date of birth, town and/or country of birth, nationality, on a page referred to as "page carrier" including a datapage. The datapage can contain optional security features and printed labels.
Figure 1 shows a 3-D sketch of a common known implementation example of a passport comprising a datapage with an embedded contactless chip, while Figure 2 shows an exploded top view of the passport in Figure 1 with the sewing line.
The page referred to as page carrier of the non-personalised manual identity booklet, in particular of the non-personalised passport, contains the durable laser-engraving-reactive laminated page. It is important for the datapage to be as highly secure as possible against wear, tear and creasing, as well as against forgery, in such a way that during inspection of the authenticity of the data and the validity of the identity document, a trained law enforcement agent can easily notice or detect if the data in the manual identity booklet were criminally manipulated or modified.
In order to satisfy the need for better durability of personal identification data in passports due to their frequent use, and the security against forgery of passports, a known solution consists in incorporating the personal identification data into a durable and stiff multilayer laminated page which is based on a thermoplastic material, in particular polycarbonate (PC) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or any other plastic material. The holder's personal identification data is engraved by laser into the laser-engraving-reactive layer (a layer of thermoplastic material which comprises a laser-reactive additive), which is one of the layers of the multi-layer page laminate in the non-personalised passport. The engraving is performed by a legal authorised entity using a laser-engraving technique, which is a known process in the art. The laminated page carrier is composed from a laminated stack of quality thermoplastic polycarbonate sheets, which imparts to the page carrier durability and stiffness, high heat and impact resistance, and a smooth surface as well as glass-clear transparency to visible light.
Passports possessing such a laminated multi-layer datapage or page carrier are known and in use. The maximum thickness of the datapage or page carrier is specified by ICAO standards and is such that a passport-reading-machine can properly read the document, for example by manually sliding the page carrier through a designed gap in the machine for this purpose.
A general example of a known composition of a laminated multi-layer page carrier unit or datapage in passports is as follows: a top protective surface of optionally security-features-integrated and optionally labels-printed thermoplastic polycarbonate layer is followed by a number of optionally security-features-integrated and optionally labels-printed thermoplastic transparent polycarbonate layers among which there is a laser-engraving-reactive layer, then an optionally-security features-integrated and optionally labels-printed thermoplastic white polycarbonate background layer. Then, from the other side of the white polycarbonate background layer comes another optionally security-features-integrated and optionally labels-printed thermoplastic white polycarbonate background layer, followed by at least a layer of an optionally security-features-integrated and optionally labels-printed transparent polycarbonate layer of adequate quality.
Figure 3 shows a schematic top cross-section view of a general example of a known composition of a laminated multi-layer page carrier unit.
This laminate is securely bound in the passport via a thin hinge as follows: partially sandwiched between the two white polycarbonate layers is a meshed textile layer, the protruding flexible part of which (the non-laminated part protruding from the polycarbonate) serves as a secure connecting thin hinge between the composite laminate and the rest of the passport at the fold of the passport. The protruding flexible part has two areas delimited by the sewing line in the passport.
Due to the stiffness of the polycarbonate laminate, which makes it unfit for direct sewing into the assembly of the booklet, this design type with a securely embedded hinge element allows complete closure of the passport and simple sewing of the composite laminate during the passport manufacturing.
A publication (US2008/0284155 A1) discloses a page carrier or a datapage variant of the above, and claims that during lamination of the thermoplastic polycarbonate sheets with a meshed textile sheet as a thin hinge element, the polycarbonate material penetrates into the openings of the textile mesh (forming polycarbonate micro-bridges), and secures the textile mesh in the data carrier laminate. However, this technique has a serious drawback arising from, for example, a visible imprinted mesh pattern in the obtained laminate.
Hereafter, a solution according to the invention is disclosed whereby an electronic contactless medium for recording is embedded into the laminated page carrier comprising a laser-engraving-reactive page with a thin hinge element.
The invention will be explained into detail with help of an implementation example and corresponding figures, which show: Figure 1 A 3-D sketch of a common known implementation example of a passport comprising a datapage with an embedded contactless chip;

According to the invention, the page carrier unit (1 ), designed for laser engraving, has several layers, namely L1 to L6, produced by lamination from sheets arranged in a stack-formation and forming a laminate, which contains a top layer (L1 ) and a bottom layer (L6), as well one or more intermediate layers, namely L2 to L5, among which there is a laser-engraving reactive layer. The edges of the laminated layers have a common outline with substantially flush edges, and the page carrier unit (1 ) also contains a thin hinge layer (3), which is partially laminated into the laminate and partially protruding from one of the laminate edges. The thin hinge layer (3) is made of a plastic-based sheet, which has a smooth and even surface.
Figure 8 shows a schematic view of a page carrier unit (1 ) comprising an embedded electronic contactless medium (4) for recording, according to the invention. The embedded electronic contactless medium (4) for recording can be implemented as a chip with antenna, which can be wire, printed, 3-D printed, etched or made according to the PVD process (PVD process consists of physical vapour phase deposition of material for the antenna manufacture).
The following paragraphs will present some implementation examples of the page carrier unit (1 ) comprising an embedded contactless medium (4) for recording, according to the invention. The invention is described by way of examples and should not be construed as scope limiting.
The first implementation example of the page carrier unit (1 ) comprising an embedded contactless medium (4) for recording, according to the invention, presents a page carrier unit (1) composed of two layers of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) or any other plastic material. A wire antenna (5) is placed on the first layer and then covered with a second layer of TPU or any other plastic material. The total thickness of the page carrier unit (1) is 150 to 350 microns.
The second implementation example of the page carrier unit (1 ) presents an antenna (6) with a chip on a plastic carrier sandwiched between two TPU layers. The antenna (6) is placed on the plastic carrier by etching, the PVD process (PVD process consists of physical vapour phase deposition of material for the antenna manufacture), printing or 3-D printing.
The third implementation example presents a page carrier unit (1 ) composed of an antenna (7) with a chip that is placed on a plastic carrier layer and then covered with a second layer of TPU or any other plastic material. The antenna (7) is placed on the plastic carrier by etching, the PVD process, printing or 3-D printing.
The fourth implementation example presents a page carrier unit (1 ) composed of one TPU layer and a plastic carrier. A wire antenna (8) with a chip is placed on the plastic layer and then covered with a second TPU layer. The total thickness of the page carrier unit (1) is 100 to 350 microns.
The fifth implementation example presents a page carrier unit (1 ) composed of two layers of TPU or any other plastic material. A wire antenna (10) and chip are placed on an additional intermediate plastic layer. The total thickness of the page carrier unit (1 ) is 150 to 350 microns. In accordance with the specific embodiment of the invention, a hinge layer (3) is based on plastic at least on its top and bottom polymer surfaces, while the two surfaces are connected with the same polymer material.
The hinge layer (3) based on plastic can be a polymer sheet, which can be implemented with one type of polymer or a composite material. If the hinge layer (3) is a polymer sheet, the polymer material that composes it has the priority softening point in the range of the softening point of at least one of the sheets that compose the page carrier laminate, in particular the sheets that are in immediate contact with the hinge layer (3).
If the hinge layer (3) is a composite sheet, the composite material used to coat the mesh has the priority softening point in the range of the softening point of at least one of the sheets that compose the page carrier (2) laminate, in particular the sheets that are in immediate contact with the composite sheet.
If the hinge layer (3) is a polymer sheet, the polymer sheet is preferably a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) sheet or any other plastic sheet.
All the sheets and layers (L1 to L6) including the hinge layer (3) sheet and the hinge layer may comprise at least one security feature and/or may have labels printed on them.
In accordance with the specific embodiment of the invention, the page carrier unit (1 ) has several layers produced by lamination from sheets arranged in a stack-formation, namely a top layer (L1) produced from a thermoplastic transparent polycarbonate sheet, followed successively by a number of layers (for example L2 and L3) produced from thermoplastic transparent polycarbonate sheets among which there is a laser-engraving-reactive sheet, then a background layer (L4) produced from a thermoplastic white polycarbonate sheet and a hinge layer (3) produced from a plastic-based hinge sheet, followed by another layer (L5) produced from a thermoplastic white polycarbonate sheet, and at least a layer including the bottom layer (L6) produced from a transparent polycarbonate sheet.
Figure 4 shows a front schematic view of a general example of a two-count page carrier unit (1 ) for the manufacturing of a non-personalised manual identity booklet, in accordance with the invention, while Figure 5 shows a front schematic view of two-count page carrier unit for the manufacturing of a non-personalised passport, in accordance with the invention, comprising an embedded electronic contactless medium for recording.
The choice of the chemical composition of the plastic-based hinge sheet possessing a smooth and even surface is dictated by several factors, among which is the softening point of its two sandwiching thermoplastic white polycarbonate sheets. During the lamination of various sheets, the softened material of the plastic-based hinge sheet possessing a smooth and even surface fuses on the joint surfaces with the white polycarbonate material without creating an imprinted pattern in the obtained laminate. Other important factors dictating the choice of the chemical composition of the plastic-based hinge sheet possessing a smooth and even surface are: allowing a secure and flexible connection between the laminate and the rest of the non-personalised manual identity booklet, and allowing a practical sewing technique for the manufacture of the booklet.
The present solution offers a reproducible page carrier and booklet designs, and maintains the form of a secure non-personalised manual identity booklet suitable for the subsequent secure laser-engraving of the personal identification data.
In accordance with the invention, a plastic-based hinge sheet possessing a smooth and even surface is in particular: - a thermoplastic polymer sheet, such as a sheet of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) or any other plastic material, characterised by having a softening point in the range of the softening point of the thermoplastic white polycarbonate sheet, or
- a composite plastic-based sheet which is coated with an organic polymer, wherein the mesh is based on polyamide or polyester, characterised by having a softening point 10 °C to 50 °C higher than the softening point of the white polycarbonate sheet, for example having a softening point in the range of 220 °C to 300 °C, preferably around 250 °C, and wherein the mesh (2) organic polymer coating is based on polycarbonate, polyurethane (PU), or thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), or any other plastic material characterised by having a softening point in the range of the softening point of the white polycarbonate sheet.
Following is a general example in accordance with the invention for manufacture of two counts of laser-engraving-reactive page carrier unit with an embedded electronic contactless medium for recording (a general example is shown in Figure 4, and an example used for a non-personalised passport is shown in Figure 5):
the following stack of sheets is subjected to a lamination step under pressure with heating, then to a cutting step: an optionally security-features-integrated and optionally labels-printed passport-grade thermoplastic transparent polycarbonate sheet is followed successively by an optionally security-features-integrated and optionally labels-printed number of passport-grade thermoplastic transparent polycarbonate sheets among which a laser-engraving-reactive sheet, followed by an optionally security-features-integrated and optionally labels-printed passport-grade thermoplastic white polycarbonate background sheet, an optionally security-features-integrated and optionally labels-printed plastic-based hinge layer possessing a smooth and even surface, an optionally security-features-integrated and optionally labels-printed passport-grade thermoplastic white polycarbonate background sheet, and finally followed by at least a sheet of an optionally security-features-integrated and optionally labels-printed passport-grade transparent polycarbonate sheet.
The two count page carrier unit (1 ) comprising a laser-engraving-reactive with a thin hinge element, and an embedded electronic contactless medium (4) for recording, which is used for the manufacture of a non-personalised manual identity booklet, in particular of a non-personalised passport, is characterised by having two counts of the page carrier unit (2), positioned next to each other, and has their flexible part protrude from the same edge of the laminate.
The page carrier unit (1 ), according to the invention, comprising an embedded electronic contactless medium (4) for recording contains an embedded electronic component, in particular an electronic chip with antenna, dedicated to the subsequent operation of personalisation with the given individual identification data and biometric data of a legal holder.
The design of the two count laser-engraving-reactive page carrier unit is fixed during the lamination step of the various selected sheets. A non-laminated area of the optionally security-features-integrated and optionally labels-printed plastic-based sheet possessing a smooth and even surface forms a protruding flexible part - hinge layer (3), which will serve in the booklet as a thin secure and practical connecting hinge.
In accordance with the invention, the two count page carrier unit (1) is characterised by having two parts: the laminated part is defined by area A and distance dA, which has the plastic-based hinge sheet possessing a smooth and even surface embedded inside the page carrier (2) laminate and occupying the area B and distance dB, in such a way that fixes this sheet inside the page carrier (2) laminate, for example, dB can be any distance from 1 cm to dA;
and the protruding flexible part (the non-laminated area), which extends out of the page carrier unit (1 ) laminate, and consists of two areas defined as area C and area D, wherein their common delimiting border coincides with the placement of the sewing line,
area C has a distance value dC, which is smaller than or equal to 1 cm, preferably from 2 to 7 mm, and more preferably from 2 to 5 mm,
and area D has a distance value dD which is smaller than or equal to 2 cm, preferably smaller than 1 cm, and more preferably from 5 to 7 mm.
Following is a general example according to the invention for the manufacture of a non-personalised manual identity booklet, in particular of a non-personalised passport, using a two count laser-engraving-reactive page carrier unit (1), and the non-personalised manual identity booklet, in particular the non-personalised passport, is a firmly bound assembly of at least a securalin-protected cover, a number of cellulose-based paper sheets and a durable, stiff and laser-engraving-reactive laminated multi-layer page carrier unit.
Figure 6 shows an exploded top view of the sewing line, while Figure 7 shows a 3-D view with an exploded section of a schematic example of a non-personalized passport, according to the invention.
Figures 8 to 13 show implementation examples of the implementation of embedded electronic contactless medium (4) for recording into the page carrier unit (1 ).
The cellulose-based paper sheets are sewn into the spine, thus each sheet furnishes four pages. The laser-engraving-reactive multi-layer laminated page carrier unit (1) is sewn simultaneously with the paper sheets, in such a way that the sewing line delimits two areas in its protruding flexible part (the non-laminated part).
Using the two count laser-engraving-reactive page carrier unit (1 ) with a thin hinge element and comprising an embedded electronic contactless medium for recording, and following a sequence of operations involving stitch-binding, glueing, cutting and punching steps, two non-personalised manual identity booklets are produced, wherein the laminated page carrier occupies page number one and page number two. The laser-engraving-reactive page corresponds to page number one or page number two.
The non-personalised manual identity booklet, in particular the non-personalised passport, contains an electronic contactless medium (4) for recording, in particular a contactless chip, dedicated to the subsequent operation of secure personalisation with given individual identification data and biometric data of a legal holder. This electronic contactless medium (4) for recording is embedded during the manufacturing process, for example, it can be found in the cover or the page carrier of the non-personalised manual identity booklet.
