Description

The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for producing a passbook block for a book-type ID card, value or security document, a system for producing a book-type ID card, value or security document and a book-type ID card, value document or security document. Book-type identity, value or security documents, such as passports, consist of a cover, and passbook block protected by the cover, which has personal and / or document-specific information. The passbook block has several double pages as well as a data card. The data card is, for example, a plastic or paper-based card on which personal and / or document-specific information such as a passport photograph, name or address of the user or a card number are applied, in particular also in machine-readable form. The double pages may contain further personal and / or document-specific information or be designed, for example, as visa pages for receiving visa stamps. The badge, value or security document, in particular the data card, can have a chip on which personal and / or document-specific information is stored. At one edge of the data card a flexible tab is provided. The tab is sewn along a seam with the double pages and a cover sheet enclosing the double pages and the data card to the passbook block. To protect the seam usually a Fälzelband is provided along the seam. Book-type identity, value or security documents of this type are usually produced by the passbook block is assembled and sewn. Subsequently, the passbook block is glued to the cover and folded the resulting passbook blank. The object of the invention is to provide an improved method and apparatus for producing a passbook block for a book-type identity card, value or security document. The object of the invention is also to provide a system for producing a book-type identification, value or security document and a book-type identification, value or security document. The objects underlying the invention are achieved by the features of the independent claims. Embodiments of the invention are indicated in the dependent claims. Embodiments of the invention are particularly advantageous because a fast and reliable connection of the Fälzelbandes can be achieved with the stack or the pre-sheet. The Fälzelband is reliably fixed before sewing the passbook block so that it can not slip.

In the text which follows, a "document of identification, value or security" is understood to mean a paper and / or plastic-based document on which person-specific and / or document-specific information is optically readable, which identifies the user or the document, for example for release This includes, for example, identity documents, in particular passports, identity cards, visas and driver's licenses, vehicle registration documents, vehicle registration documents, company ID cards, health cards or other ID documents as well as consignment notes or other proofs of entitlement The document may comprise a chip or other electronic components, in particular for the storage of person-specific and / or document-specific information.

In the following, a "data card" is understood as a paper- or plastic-based card arranged in a book block of an identity, value or security document, on which person-specific and / or document-specific information is optically readable, which identifies the user or the document The data card may comprise a chip or other electronic components, in particular for the storage of personal and / or document-specific information. According to embodiments of the invention, a method for producing a passbook block for a book-type identity, value or security document is provided. The passport, value or security document comprises a cover and a passbook block comprising a data card, a plurality of double pages, a cover sheet and a selvedge, the data card having a flexible tab connected along one edge to the data card. The data card with the flexible flap, the double sides, the front page and the fälzelband are sewn together with a seam, the cover is glued to an inside surface with an outside of the front page. The method comprises the following steps:

- providing a pre-sheet,

- Providing a Fälzelbandes, wherein the Fälzelband is supplied as an endless belt and having an adhesive layer having an activation temperature,

- cutting the Fälzelbandes to the required length,

- aligning and placing the Fälzelbandes on the pre-sheet,

- Heating the adhesive layer to the activation temperature and cohesively connecting the Fälzelbandes with the pre-sheet. After connecting the Fälzelbandes with the pre-sheet, the pre-sheet is placed on a collecting device, wherein the Fälzelband is arranged on the collecting device facing side of the pre-sheet. Subsequently, the data card and the double pages can be placed on the pre-sheet, the pre-sheet, the data card and the double pages are aligned by the collecting device relative to each other and sewn together along a seam.

The relative alignment of the pre-sheet, the data card and the double pages by the collecting device can for example be done by a vibrating table on which the pre-sheet, the data card and the double pages are placed. By way of example, the vibrating table has two contact surfaces arranged at right angles to one another, the vibrating table, before being aligned, having a substantially horizontal position. Zontal orientation is tilted such that the vibrating table is inclined in the direction of the contact surfaces.

The method may optionally include the following steps:

- providing the passbook block,

- providing the cover,

- Providing an adhesive layer, in particular an adhesive tape, wherein the adhesive layer is applied to a carrier film, wherein the adhesive layer has an activation temperature at which the adhesive layer develops adhesive properties and a curing temperature at which the adhesive layer cross-links and cures, the curing temperature is higher is the activation temperature,

- Heating the adhesive layer, in particular to the activation temperature, - Applying the adhesive layer on the inside of the cover, wherein the

Adhesive layer adheres to the inside of the cover, and releasing the adhesive layer from the carrier film,

Connecting the cover and the book contents to a passbook blank, wherein the outside of the cover page is placed on the inside of the cover,

- folding the passbook blank,

Then heating the adhesive layer to the curing temperature,

- Fixing the passbook blank in the folded state until the adhesive layer is cured and a material and / or positive connection between the cover and cover sheet is made.

An "adhesive layer" is understood as meaning a layer of a material which has adhesive properties at a first temperature, the activation temperature, and crosslinks or cures after being heated to a second temperature, the curing temperature, which is above the first temperature hardening by heating or by a subsequent cooling.The adhesive layer may be, for example, so-called Thermo or hot melt adhesives act that soften above a defined temperature and cure by subsequent cooling. Alternatively, chemically curing adhesives can be used whose curing process is accelerated above the curing temperature. Alternatively, two-component polyurethane adhesives known from the bookbinding industry can be used if they cure or crosslink above the curing temperature.

The final fixing of the binding in the folded or closed state causes the identification, value or security document to be acted upon in this closed position. Usually, the cover is fixed before folding on the cover page of the passbook block. If the identification, value or security document is subsequently folded, tensions arise between the cover and the leaflet which lead to the identification, value or security document being set up. The final fixation after collapsing avoids these stresses so that the badge, security or security document is kept closed. Prefixing prevents shifting of the passbook block during the folding operation so that the identification, value or security documents can be produced with high accuracy.

The adhesive is supplied, for example, on the carrier film as endless material, wherein the width of the adhesive layer corresponds to a required width which corresponds to the carrier film substantially the width of the cover, and wherein the adhesive layer to a required before heating to the activation temperature on the carrier film Length is cut. This ensures that the adhesive layer has the dimensions required for the respective identification, value or security document. In particular, the identification, value or security document can be reacted by cutting to different dimensions immediately before the adhesive is applied, so that identification, value or security documents with different dimensions can be produced. Preferably, the carrier film with the adhesive layer is guided in a transport direction on a flat support, wherein the application of the adhesive layer on the inside of the cover on the support takes place, wherein the length of the support substantially equal to the length of the required length of the adhesive layer, and wherein the support has rounded edges at its front and rear edges in the transport direction, the support film being guided over the rounded edges. Due to the rounded edges of the support, the carrier film before and behind the portion carrying the applied adhesive layer, pulled down so that only the trimmed adhesive layer is on the support and come in contact with the cover in contact and adhere to this can. In particular, if the length of the adhesive layer is slightly shorter than the length of the cover, this offers the advantage that the adhesive layer following immediately on the carrier film, which is separated in particular only by a cut from the applied adhesive layer, can not adhere to the insert. If the adhesive layer also has a residual stiffness, the front and rear edges guided over the edges can detach from the carrier film, so that the adhesive layer can be pulled off from the carrier film more easily. In this method, a portion of the carrier film can be performed with the adhesive layer on the support until there is a front in the transport direction edge of the adhesive layer at the front in the transport direction edge of the support. Subsequently, at the rear edge in the transport direction, the adhesive layer can be cut to the required length. This can ensure that the adhesive layer always has the required length and no immediately following adhesive layer can rest on the support.

Preferably, the required width of the adhesive layer is equal to or less than the width of the cover and / or the width of the passbook block, and the required length of the adhesive layer is equal to or less than the length of the cover and / or passport block length. After heating the adhesive layer, this can deform plastically. When folding the passbook and the fixing in the folded state is applied to this a defined pressure, whereby the adhesive layer between the leaflet and cover is distributed and can escape slightly at the edges. This ensures that the pre-sheet and the cover are glued together flat. The length and the width of the adhesive layer are chosen so that the adhesive layer emerges only marginally at the edges in order to prevent contamination of the identification, value or security document or device for producing the identification, value or security document or sticking together of the passbook block to prevent.

The heating to the activation temperature can be done before guiding the carrier film on the support. As a result, the production time could be shortened because after the lead to the edition directly applying the adhesive layer can be done on the inside of the cover.

Alternatively, the heating to the activation temperature can also be effected on the support, wherein the support can be used to uniformly heat the adhesive layer. In particular, the pad may be heated to maintain the temperature of the heated adhesive layer.

Folding the passbook blank can be done, for example, with the following steps:

- introducing a folded edge in the region of the seam,

- Inserting the Passbuchrohlings between two pairs and arranged in parallel, spaced rollers by a stamp, the stamp engages the fold edge and pushes the passbook blank with the outside of the cover first between the rollers.

Between the paired rollers, a gap is formed, in which the passbook blank is inserted with the outside of the cover. The rollers press the halves of the passbook blank on both sides of the stamp, which folds the passbook blank. The previous introduction the folding edge has the advantage that the folding edge is defined, so that it is ensured that the passbook blank is folded in half along the seam. It can be provided in the insertion direction a plurality of successively arranged pairs of rollers. The distance between the rollers of the roller pairs can be reduced in the insertion direction, so that the gap between the rollers in the insertion direction tapers. As a result, the folding process can be simplified.

In order to further improve the folding process, after the introduction of the folded edge, a first half of the book can be prefolded relative to a second half of the book about the folded edge. As a result, the folding edge is additionally defined, so that a shifting of the passbook blank is prevented during the folding process. For this purpose, the second half of the passbook blank can be fixed, for example between the punch and a jaw, wherein the punch and the jaws terminate in the region of the folding edge. Subsequently, the protruding over the punch first half is folded at right angles, for example, by a transversely to the insertion direction movable second punch.

For example, heating the adhesive layer to the curing temperature, and fixing the passport blank in a collapsed state between a plurality of paired and parallel, spaced rollers. By these roles a fixation of the passbook blank in the folded state is possible while the passbook blank is transported further, for example, to a subsequent processing station. The distance of the rollers of a pair of rollers is chosen so that a desired pressure is exerted on the passbook blank.

Optionally, after the adhesive layer has been applied to the inside of the insert, a visual check can be made as to whether the adhesive layer has been applied flat on the cover. Further processing takes place only when the adhesive layer has been fully applied. If the cover is not completely covered with the adhesive layer, the cover is sorted out and a new cover is provided, to which an adhesive layer is again applied. This avoids that white, value or security documents are produced in which the cover can not be completely bonded to the passbook block.

After curing of the adhesive layer, for example, a mechanical processing of the side edges of passport blank, in particular a blank of the free edges on a defined format of the identity card, value or security document. The cover and passbook block or meadow passport blank are produced with a slight oversize and only then cut to the desired format. As a result, manufacturing tolerances can be compensated. Furthermore, this method of production has the advantage that a side leaked between the cover and passbook block adhesive layer can be removed. If pages of the badge, value or security document are glued together by the leaked adhesive layer at the edges, this edge can be removed together with the leaked adhesive layer. The length and width of the passbook blank is preferably selected such that a sufficiently broad projection on the free edges can be removed.

Optionally, the method may include the following steps:

Providing the data card,

Attaching the flexible tab to an edge of the data card, in particular with an ultrasonic welding method,

- providing the double pages and the pre-sheet,

- Gathering the data card, the double pages and the front page, - Attaching the Fälzelbandes on the outside of the front page

- Sewing the flap, the double pages, the front page and the Fälzelbandes along a seam to a passbook block.

As a result of these method steps, the passbook block is put together with the cover immediately prior to the gluing of the cover page. So there is an individual compilation of each card, value or security document. The identity card, value or security document, in particular the data card, can have a chip with a secure memory area, with personal and / or document-specific data being stored in the secure memory area of the chip. Preferably, the storage of the personal and / or document-specific data takes place after the completion of the identification, value or security document, so that it is ensured that the data is not stored on a faulty identity card, value or security document. For this purpose, after the identification, value or security document has been produced and prior to the storage of the data, a quality control of the identification, value or security document takes place. The data is only saved on the badge, value or security document if the badge, value or security document has passed the quality control.

The adhesive unit 602 further includes a heater 626 that can heat the adhesive layer 612 on the carrier film 610 to an activation temperature at which the adhesive layer 612 develops adhesive properties. The heating device 626 is arranged below the support 606 or provided thereon. At the rear edge 616 in the transport direction 608, a cutting device 628 is provided, which can cut through the adhesive layer 612, wherein the carrier film 610 is not severed.

Preferably, two transport devices 624 each having a carrier film 610 are provided so that a redundant supply of the carrier film 610 with the adhesive layer 612 can take place. Alternatively, the entire assembly of transport means 624, support 606 and heater 626 may be duplicated. The adhesive and folding device 700 shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 7 has a support 702, a folding unit 704 and a fixing unit 706.

The folding unit 704 has a plurality of rollers 708, wherein the rollers 708 are arranged in pairs and parallel to each other. In an insertion direction 710 several of these roller pairs 712 are arranged one behind the other. Between the rollers 708 of the roller pairs 712 extending in the direction of insertion 710 gap 714 is formed. Below the pairs of rollers 712, a holding device 716 is provided for a passbook blank 128 consisting of the passbook block 104 and the cover 102 prefixed to the passbook block 104. The holding device 716 is formed by a jaw 718 and a punch 720, wherein the jaw 718 can be pressed laterally against the punch 720. The punch is flat and positioned so that it can be inserted in the insertion direction 710 in the gap 714 between the rollers 708. Above the jaw 718, a second punch 722 is provided, which can be moved transversely to the insertion direction 710. The second punch 722 may be formed by rollers. Furthermore, a further punch 724 is provided (FIG. 7), which is provided on the support 702 and can introduce a folded edge 728 (FIG. 10 c) into the passbook blank 128. On the support 702 further comprises a transport device is provided, which can pass the passbook blank 128 of the holding device 716. Behind the folding unit 704, a fixing unit 706 is provided, which can fix the passbook blank 128 in a folded state, as explained below, and which has a heater 726 for heating the adhesive layer 612 to the curing temperature. The fixing device 706 is formed by a plurality of roller pairs 712.

To produce a passport, value or security document 100, an adhesive layer 612 is first applied to a cover 102. This will be a Cover 102 is removed from magazine 604 according to a bill of materials created for the badge, value or security document by holding and transporting device 900. On the gluing unit 602, a portion of the carrier film with an adhesive layer 612 in the transporting direction 608 is moved onto the support 606 by the transport device 624 until the front edge of the adhesive layer 612 is in the area of the front edge 614 of the support 606. The adhesive layer 612 has an activation temperature at which the adhesive layer 612 develops adhesive properties and a curing temperature at which the adhesive layer 612 cross-links and cures, the curing temperature being higher than the activation temperature.

Subsequently, the adhesive layer 612 is cut through at the rear edge 616 of the support 606 by the cutting device 628, the adhesive layer 612 having the length required for the cover 102, which is preferably slightly shorter than the length of the cover 102, after being severed (FIG. 10a). ,

The carrier film 610 is thereby kept taut so that it bears against the rounded edges of the edges 614, 616. The subsequent portion of the adhesive layer 612 is thereby slightly retracted so that only the cut-away portion of the adhesive layer 612 is on the overlay 606. If the adhesive layer has a defined rigidity, protruding regions can also detach from the carrier film 610 via the edges 614, 616. At the same time, the adhesive layer 612 is heated by the heater 626 to an activation temperature.

Subsequently, the selected and provided cover 102 is received by the holding and transport device 900 and placed on the adhesive layer 612, wherein the adhesive layer 612 adheres to the inside 126 of the cover. The cover is then lifted off the carrier film 610, the adhesive layer 612 being detached from the carrier film 610 (FIG. 10b). In a next method step, the cover 102 is supplied with the adhesive layer 612 of a recognition device 630 and checked by this, whether the adhesive layer 612 over the entire surface on the inside 126 of the cover 102 is introduced.

If the inside 126 of the cover 102 completely covered with the adhesive layer 612, the cover 102 is placed with the inside 126, so the adhesive layer 612 on the passbook block 104 and on the outside 124 of the Vorblatt- tes 1 10, which in advance with the outside 124th of the pre-sheet 1 10 was placed on top of the support 702 (Figure 10c).

Subsequently or already when placing the cover 102, the cover 102 and the passbook block 104 are aligned relative to each other. Since the adhesive layer 612 has cooled down after being joined to the cover 102, it does not adhere to the release sheet 110, so that an alignment of the cover 102 and the passbook block 104 is possible.

Subsequently, the passbook blank 128 formed from the cover 102 and the passbook block 104 prefixed to the cover 102 is folded. First, a folding edge 728 is introduced along the seam 14 on the support 702 by the punch 724. The folding edge 728 is formed by embossing the passbook blank 128 in the region of the seam 1 14 and divides the passbook blank into a first and a second book half 730, 732.

Subsequently, the passbook blank 128 is moved into the holding device 716, wherein the second book half 732 between the jaw 718 and the punch 720 is fixed (Figure 10d). The first half of the book 730 protrudes from the holding device 716. The cover 102 rests with the outside on the jaw 718.

Subsequently, the second punch 722 is displaced transversely to the direction of insertion, so that it rests against the first half of the book 730 and at a further movement This folds relative to the second half of the book 732 substantially at right angles (Figure 10e).

After the second punch 722 has been withdrawn, the first punch 720 is moved with the passport blank 128 held thereon in the insertion direction between the rollers 708, wherein the cover 102 comes into contact with the roller 708. In a further movement of the punch 720 in the insertion direction 710, the book halves 730, 732 are folded relative to each other by the rollers 708 and pressed laterally against the punch 720 (Figure 10f).

After folding the passbook blank 128, the punch 720 is retracted and the folded passbook blank 128 is moved by the rollers 708 into the fixing unit 706. In this, the adhesive layer 612 is heated by the heater 726 to the curing temperature. As a result of the heating and the subsequent cooling, the adhesive layer 612 crosslinks and hardens, so that the cover 102 and the passbook block 104 are bonded to one another in a material-locking manner (FIG. 10g).

After curing and crosslinking of the adhesive layer 612, the passbook blank 128 can be removed from the fixing unit 706 and further processed.

Upon heating of the adhesive layer 612, it may leak through the forces acting on the passbook blank 128 at the free edges between the cover 102 and the passbook block 104. Distributing the adhesive layer 612 by these forces is desirable to effect uniform distribution of the adhesive layer 612.

In order to prevent excessive leakage of the adhesive layer 612, the length and width of the adhesive layer 612 is selected to be slightly smaller than the length and width of the cover 102 and the passbook block 104, respectively.

After the passbook blank 128 has been glued and folded, the free edges of the passbook blank 128 are processed, with the passbook blank 128 being pressed onto the passbook blank 128. Wished format is cut. In this process, protruding residues of the adhesive layer 612 can be removed. As the free edges of passport blank 128 are machined, margins of the sides adhered by adhesive layer 612 may also be removed.

Since the curing and crosslinking of the adhesive layer 612 takes place only when the passbook blank 128 has been folded in, the passbook blank 128 and thus also the identification, value or security document 100 are acted upon in this folded state. When the identification, value or security document is unfolded, the crosslinked and hardened adhesive layer between cover 102 and passbook block 104 generates stresses which act on the identification, value or security document in the closed state.
