Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing a security paper for the production of value documents, such as banknotes, identity cards or the like, with a strip-shaped security element which is embedded in the security paper and is guided at at least one opening in the security paper to one of the surfaces of the security paper.
- the invention further relates to a method for producing a security paper for the production of value documents, such as banknotes, identity cards or the like, with a strip-shaped or patch-shaped security element which is applied to one side of the security paper and is guided over at least one opening in the security paper.
- Strip-shaped security elements or security threads are introduced according to the prior art as fully embedded threads or as window threads in a paper substrate.
- window threads areas of different thicknesses occur both in the paper sheet and in the finished bank note along the security thread: areas with the layer structure paper (felt side) / security thread / paper (screen side) alternate with those of the layer structure paper (felt side) / security thread.
- the surface of the security thread can not be seen by the viewer ("paper bridge”); in the latter, the surface of the security thread can be recognized by the observer ("thread window”).
- the alternating offset of the windows and webs ie different window configurations within the arch
- a possible solution to the problem is the production of two different threads - one version for each configuration - which, however, involves increased effort, cost and handling difficulties.
- the invention is therefore the object of developing a generic security paper such that the disadvantages of the prior Technique are eliminated and the protection against counterfeiting is further increased.
- a strip-shaped security element or a security thread is registered in the substrate of the security paper.
- a strip-shaped or patch-shaped security element or security patch is registered on the substrate of the security paper registered here means that each surface element of the security thread is defined at a predetermined position in the security paper is placed and thus defined in the thread windows and paper bridges comes to rest.
- the strip-shaped security element or the security thread is further designed so that it modulates the thickness so that those areas of thread which are located on one of the surfaces of the security paper after embedding in the security paper (the thread windows) have a greater thickness than those areas that follow the Embedding in the security paper is not located on any of the surfaces of the security paper (the paper webs).
- the difference in thickness between thread windows and paper webs in the paper is at least reduced, so that an improvement in the flatness is achieved.
- the strip-shaped or patch-shaped security element is configured so as to be modulated in thickness, so that those areas of the strip-shaped or patch-shaped security element, which after being applied to the security paper are located above an opening in the security paper, have a greater thickness than those areas which after application to the security paper are not located above an opening security paper.
- the increase in the thickness of the security element can in this case be performed over the entire surface of a thread window, the security element either the thread window to the top of the security paper and thus completely fills or not enough to the top of the security paper and thus does not completely fill the thread window. It is also possible here to guide the security element by increasing the thickness only in partial areas of the thread window to the upper edge of the security paper, wherein the security element does not extend to the upper edge of the security paper in the other subregions of the thread window.
- the increase in the thickness of the security element can be carried out only in a partial region of the surface of a thread window, the security element not having an increased thickness in the other subregions of the thread window.
- the increase thickness of the security element can be carried out so that the security element is sufficient up to the height of the top edge of the security paper or not.
- the part of the security element with the increased thickness does not extend to the edge of the thread window, so that slight register tolerances can be compensated for when the security element is introduced into the security paper.
- the thickness modulation of the security element within the thread window is executed differently and thus structured, so that there is a tactile or tactile detectable structured thickness modulation.
- the strip-shaped security element according to the invention preferably consists of a carrier material, which preferably consists of a plastic layer.
- the support material may be provided on its front side and / or its back with other layers, such as a layer of a printed ink or paint layer or elements produced by printing technology or a vapor-deposited metallic material.
- the thickness modulation of the strip-shaped security element is produced by the targeted application of pressure-technologically generated elements on the carrier material of the security thread in the corresponding areas, which are located after embedding in the security paper on one of the surfaces of the security paper.
- These elements can be:
- different thread windows of a security paper are filled with different elements produced by printing technology.
- one thread window may be filled with one fluorescent color print and another thread window with magnetic bits and cover.
- the thickness modulation of the security element is not provided for all thread windows of a banknote, so that this part of the thread window is not filled.
- the thickness modulation of the strip-shaped security element is formed by a modulation of the thickness of the carrier material of the strip-shaped security element.
- the support material of the security thread has a different thickness even in different areas, wherein those areas of the carrier material, which are located after embedding in the security paper on one of the surfaces of the security paper, have a greater thickness than those areas that are after Ein - bedding in the security paper is not located on one of the surfaces of the security paper.
- the compensation pressure on the back of the element eg magnetic printing or opaque white
- the window side done (eg by clearcoat).
- the thickness compensation takes place here by deformation of the substrate in the window area or by averaging banknote to banknote in the stack. It is a particular advantage of the invention that the paper-making averaging of differences in height which is introduced when the security threads have not been registered is replaced by a suitable, thickness-modulated thread configuration. Due to the advantage of the registered security threads, to allocate exactly one thread area to each window and every paper web, the parameter thread thickness can be adapted specifically to improve the flatness / waviness of the paper.
- the design of the thread is also adapted to the paper stand in terms of flatness stabilization. This may result, for example, in the fact that magnetic bits greater than at least required for machine readability are printed and enable a second functionality, namely paper stabilization.
- a strip-shaped security element according to this invention is, for example, a strip one or more millimeters wide or one or more centimeters wide, which is applied to the surface of a substrate or at least partially embedded in the substrate.
- Such an endless element is provided as a roll product, that is wound as a quasi endless belt on a roll, the endless element is of course not endless and thus infinitely long, but in particular has a length in the range of kilometers.
- an endless element is seen to extend from one edge of the substrate to the opposite edge.
- a security element examples include a security thread which is at least partially incorporated into the sub-security embedded in the substrate, or the so-called "hologram strip" applied to the substrate in the area of the right edge of the 5 €, 10 € and 20 € banknotes of the first series, in contrast, a patch-shaped security element becomes a single element along with other such individual elements Usually, a single element is recognizable by being arranged on the substrate similar to a stamp, an example of such a security element being the so-called "hologram patch". in the area of the lower right corner of the 50 €, 100 €, 200 € and 500 € banknotes of the first series.
- the substrate of the security paper is particularly preferably made of paper from cotton fibers, as used for example for banknotes, or from other natural fibers or from synthetic fibers or a mixture of natural and synthetic fibers, or from at least one plastic film.
- the substrate consists of a combination of at least two superimposed and interconnected different substrates, a so-called hybrid.
- the substrate consists, for example, of a combination of plastic film-paper-plastic film, i. a paper substrate is covered on either side by a plastic film, or a combination of paper plastic film paper, i. a substrate made of a plastic film is covered on each side by paper.
- Value documents for which such a substrate or security paper can be used are, in particular, bank notes, stocks, bonds, certificates, vouchers, checks, high-quality admission tickets, but also others forgery-prone papers, such as passports and other identification documents, and cards, such as credit or debit cards, whose card body has at least one layer of security paper, and also product security elements, such as labels, seals, packaging and the like.
- the simplified term value document includes all the above materials, documents and product safeguards.
- the terms "front” or “back” of the substrate or value document are relative terms, which may also be referred to as “the one” and “the opposite” sides, and which constitute the majority of the total surface area of the substrate or value document. Specifically, these terms do not include the side surfaces of a substrate or document of value that are negligibly small and typically not provided with security features or coatings for a thickness of a substrate or value document that is only about a millimeter in card bodies or fractions of a millimeter for banknotes be or can be. In particular, no see-through effects can be achieved with the side surfaces.
- FIG. 1 shows in plan view a banknote in which a security thread according to the invention is introduced in the form of a window thread, in a side view the security thread according to the invention in the form of a window thread from FIG. 1 and FIG Fig. 2 and here in Fig. 3a before embedding in the substrate of the banknote and in Fig. 3b after embedding in the substrate of the banknote, in side view a security thread according to the invention in the form of a window filament and here in Fig. 4a according to a second embodiment , in Fig. 4b according to a third embodiment and in Fig. 4c according to a fourth embodiment,
- FIG. 5 shows a side view of a security thread according to the invention in FIG.
- Shape of a window thread which has bilateral thickening.
- Fig. 1 shows a plan view of a banknote 1, in which a security thread 2 is introduced in the form of a window thread.
- the security thread 2 occurs in the areas 4 (thread window) on the surface of the banknote and is covered in the areas 3 (paper web) from the substrate of the banknote 1.
- Fig. 2 shows the security thread 2 of Fig. 1 in plan view.
- 3 shows the security thread in side view and in this case in FIG. 3 a prior to embedding in the substrate of the banknote 1 and FIG. 3 b after embedding in the substrate of the banknote 1.
- the carrier material 5 of the security thread 2 is in the areas 4 a print-produced element 6 provided, for example, a printed color. In regions 3, no element produced by printing technology is applied to the carrier material 5, wherein the carrier material 5 in these regions 3 is covered by the substrate 7 of the banknote 1.
- the side of the carrier material 5, which is opposite to the side of the carrier material 5, to which the elements 6 are applied, is covered over the entire surface with the substrate 7 of the banknote 1, so that the security thread 2 can not be seen from this side of the banknote viewed in incident light .
- the thickness of the elements 6 produced by printing technology is chosen such that it corresponds to the thickness of the paper webs in the regions 3, so that the thread window is completely filled and a uniformly large thickness of the banknote 1 in the area of the security thread 2 results.
- the thickness of the banknote 1 in the region of the security thread 2 is preferably the same size as the thickness of the banknote 1 in the region outside the security thread 2.
- FIG. 4 shows a side view of a security thread 2 according to the invention in the form of a window thread in further exemplary embodiments.
- the elements 6 which are produced by printing technology on the carrier material 5 do not reach the upper edge of the paper webs 7, so that they do not completely fill the thread windows.
- partial regions of the elements 6 produced by printing technology reach the upper edge of the paper webs 7 and in this case form a type of support points.
- Fig. 4c reach the elements produced by printing technology 6, although the upper edge of the paper webs 7, but they do not reach to the edge of the thread window. Rather, there remains a kind of gap between the printing technology produced elements 6 and the paper webs 7. This has the advantage that minor tolerances can be compensated for the introduction of the security element in the security paper.
- FIG. 5 shows a side view of a security thread 2 according to the invention in the form of a window thread for a banknote 1 with thread windows both on the back and on the front side of the banknote 1.
- elements 6.1 produced by printing between the paper webs 7.1 and 6.2 applied on the back by means of printing elements 6.2 between the paper webs 7.2 are arranged directly opposite the elements 6.2 produced by printing technology, but they can also be arranged offset from one another.
