The book block is then punched to size and then glued with a book cover.

From the U.S. 4,828,636 A a method for producing a book or a bound document from a web of material is known. This material web is folded several times and then bound into a book cover, the folded arrangement forming a book spine bond with an adhesive to the book spine.

The aforementioned disadvantages are common to these security documents and / or documents of value, which are known in this respect.

Various types of binding are known from the technological field of book production, which allow the opened book to be flat in a more or less good manner. These include the Smythe seam binding as well as adhesive bindings with adhesives based on ethylene vinyl Acetate (EVA) or polyurethane (PUR). A relatively new binding technique based on adhesive bindings is what is known as "doublebinding" (see, for example, www.doublebinding.com).

TECHNICAL PROBLEM OF THE INVENTION The invention is based on the technical problems of providing a cost-efficient and long-lasting production of a passport booklet with high spine flexibility and the possibility of a flat and open position with at the same time high protection against forgery or detection of a forgery.

Principles of the invention and preferred embodiments This technical problem is solved by the method according to claim 1, a plurality of perforation holes being made before the connection with the adhesive at least in the area of the gutter edges or folded edges of the security laminate and / or the data pages the gutter edges or folding edges of the data pages and the security laminate are connected to one another with the adhesive formed as an elastomeric polymer, the adhesive passing through the perforation holes, and that with the elastomeric polymer, the front and back book cover or book cover with the gutter edges or -Folded edges of the security laminate and the data pages are connected in the area of the book spine and a permanently elastic book spine bond is formed.

In the core, a particularly durable structure of a permanently elastomeric adhesive bond is achieved, the production taking place, for example, in the form of casting or injection molding or transfer molding of a suitable elastomeric material with high tensile strength.

As elastomeric materials, for example, thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers (TPU or TPE, e.g. Desmopan® or Texin® from BMS) or PUR-Polyurethane reactive z. B. an aliphatic isocyanate; e.g. by means of the RIM reactive injection molding process) or EVA (ethylene-vinyl-acetate) hotmelt systems, as well as permanently elastic polymer systems (2K liquid rubbers such as Flexonal, etc.). The elastomeric polymer can (after curing) have a hardness of 20 to 70 Shore A, in particular a hardness of 40 to 50 Shore A. The front and back book covers or book covers can be compressed in the area of the elastomeric polymer, the compression preferably being 10 % to 30% of the thickness of the book cover, in particular more than 20%. Security elements in the form of nanoscale to micrometer-sized pigments, threads, tubes, platelets, cones, taggants and the like can be added to the elastomeric polymer.

Because the elements to be connected have perforation holes in the region of the flange edges, an adhesive bond is achieved for the required long service life, and the requirements for a high level of forgery difficulty are met. Furthermore are a high Book spine flexibility and a low restoring force when flat is open.

An RFID transponder unit, preferably in accordance with ICAO MRTD 9303, can preferably be integrated into the value and / or security document. The RFID transponder unit can be arranged in the security laminate and / or in the front or back book cover or book cover.

The perforation holes can in principle be produced in any way. For example, lasers, in particular short pulse lasers, in particular Co2 lasers, UV lasers, but also classic punching technology, come into question for producing the holes. Several of these methods can also be combined. Special Co2 short-pulse lasers are already used today for the production of passport numbers, whereby no individual hole combinations are required within the scope of the invention, but rather constant perforation holes, as described below. Such perforation holes can therefore be produced both by means of a corresponding Co2 short-pulse laser and by means of conventional punching technology.

The perforation holes can have a diameter of 50 µm to 1,000 µm, in particular 100 µm to 800 µm, preferably 200 to 600 µm, and / or be conical, the maximum and the minimum diameter being in the aforementioned areas.

In principle, the connection of the flange web edges or folded edges to one another and to the elastomeric polymer can take place by means of casting or spraying or dispensing by means of thermoplastic injection molding or by means of reactive injection molding (RIM).

When using an open tool to carry out the method according to the invention, the low-viscosity elastomeric polymer can be introduced by spraying or pouring or dispensing, and a molded tool part can also be attached and the spine of the book can be designed three-dimensionally, for example with lettering. The cycle times of such a process are in the region of 2 minutes. Such large numbers can be produced by using multiple devices.

When using a closed mold, a distinction must be made between the use of a RIM (reaction injection molding) process and a classic thermoplastic elastomer injection molding process. In both cases, due to the low viscosity of the elastomeric polymer, good mold sealing and optimal ventilation should be ensured.

The side seal is important because of the manufacturing tolerances of a fitting booklet and should be specially designed. The sprue is for example and preferably in the middle of the back of the book cover by means of an open sprue of about 0.5 to 0.7 mm diameter with a light lens (recess) and a standard sprue cone with a corresponding draft angle and mechanical shearing when demolding or formed when removing it from the tool. Furthermore, the permanently elastic book spine adhesive bond formed with the elastomeric polymer can be made resistant to common solvents and cosmetic articles and sunlight (UV resistance) and it can be designed graphically, and both color effects and lettering can be realized. In particular, the elastomeric polymer can contain security features or components customary in the art, such as, but not limited to, effect pigments, in particular metallic effect pigments, fluorescent substances, stokeshift / up / down conversion substances and particles containing such substances, etc. on the spine of the book In addition, embossings (protruding or recessed) can be applied, for example in the form of lettering, graphic representations, etc. Such embossing can easily be realized by suitable surface structuring as a negative of the tools used in production, for example injection molding.

In addition to the use of a sewn book block that is customary today (not part of the invention) consisting of a plurality of data page sheets, individual folded data page sheets or single sheets can be used. In order to increase the penetration and anchoring of the elastomeric polymer in the book spine area, small holes are made in the area of the adhesive bond or the data pages and the front and back book covers are micro-perforated in the area of the elastomeric adhesive bond.

In a further embodiment of the present invention, the front and back book covers or book covers are manufactured integrally in a casting process. The book cover can only be made of elastomeric polymer or, for example, the front book cover can be integrated with the security laminate with the personalization data and the RFID transponder unit in accordance with ICAO MRTD 9303, the edge being made of elastomeric polymer. In detail, there are various possible variations.

The front and / or back book cover or book cover can be transparent or translucent. Customary security features can be integrated into the book cover or book cover. If the security laminate bears a photo of the owner, the arrangement of the security laminate can be made such that this photo is visible through a book cover, preferably the front cover or book cover. The same applies to other non-personalized or personalized optically recognizable data on the security laminate. The book cover or book cover can be made entirely transparent or translucent, or only in predetermined partial areas, possibly in accordance with the personalized data, which should be visible from the outside.

The front and / or back book cover or book cover can have a preferably flexible photovoltaic device which is electrically connected to the RFID transponder and / or one connected to the RFID transponder and / or the photovoltaic device Display unit, in particular in the form of a bistable display or an OLED display.

It is expedient and practical when handling the finished product if the front and / or back book cover or book cover has a recess in the form of a circular or predetermined non-circular hole or a lateral recess. As a result, the document can then be leafed through more easily by a control person, for example.

In a variant of the invention, in which the book cover or binding are produced from the elastomeric polymer in one go with the binding of the data pages and the security laminate, the front and back book covers or book covers are produced from elastomeric polymer by means of injection molding and at the same time by pressing or injection of the elastomeric polymer into the perforation holes previously made in the data pages and / or the security laminate to form a booklet.

The book covers or book covers can have a thickness of 0.5 to 1.2 mm, in particular 0.6 to 1.0 mm, be it in the context of the integral production of these components explained above, be it with the use of prefabricated book covers or book covers.

The perforation holes in the fold area of the data pages and at the edge of the security laminate also point in the the integral method described above has a diameter of 50 μm to 1,000 μm, in particular 100 μm to 800 μm, preferably 200 to 600 μm.

Independent of the above-described integral production of the book cover or binding, a flag in the inner fold area with a thickness in the range of the diameter of the perforation holes and a length of preferably 3 to 10 mm can be produced by injection molding. This flag can be formed, for example, from elastomeric polymer that has passed through the perforation holes. Their surfaces can be three-dimensional and in particular have lettering in a raised or recessed design.

The front and back book covers made of elastomeric polymer can be produced by means of insert injection molding and preferably a graphically designed thermoplastic film can be inserted into the injection molding tool before the injection molding process step (in-mold decor injection molding). The thermoplastic film is preferably formed from transparent polycarbonate and is preferably designed graphically on the inside.

The thermoplastic film can also be formed from opaque polycarbonate. It can be equipped with the graphic design in that it is laminated with a transparent overlay film. If it is inserted into the tool with the overlay film side, the outside of the book cover can be formed in this way. The polycarbonate laminate In one embodiment, it has a smaller dimension compared to the book cover format, as a result of which the border is then formed by means of the elastomeric polymer. The RFID transponder unit can be integrated into the front or back book cover or book cover, preferably in an area made of thermoplastic elastomer. Independently of this and, if necessary, in addition, the security laminate can be integrated into the front book cover or book cover.

In the front book cover or book cover made of elastomeric polymer, a security laminate with personalized or non-personalized holes can be integrated, the elastomeric polymer being injection-molded from the inside of the book cover or book cover through the holes of the security laminate onto the outside, and on the front side of the book through the elastomeric polymer passing through the holes in the security laminate creates a lens-like elastomeric raised structure. As a result, the security laminate is also connected in a strengthening manner.

Within the scope of the invention, retaining tabs, for example for flight tickets, credit cards, etc., can also be incorporated into the composite.

The invention also teaches a security and / or value document according to claim 14, in particular a passport booklet, preferably obtainable by a method according to the invention, comprising a front and back book cover or book cover, a plurality of data pages and at least one security laminate with personalization data, at least the data pages and the security laminate being connected to one another by means of an adhesive along the gutter edges or folded edges, which are stacked parallel to one another, the adhesive being an elastomeric polymer, wherein the adhesive reaches through a plurality of perforation holes made in the region of the flange edges or folded edges of the security laminate and / or the data pages, and the

Adhesive made of elastomeric polymer connects the front and back book cover or book cover with the gutter edges or folded edges of the security laminate and the data pages in the area of the book spine and forms a permanently elastic book spine adhesive bond

The invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of examples which merely represent embodiments. Show it:

Figure 1

a cross section through a document according to the invention,

Figure 2

a data sheet sheet used according to the invention, and

Figure 3

a tool for carrying out a method according to the invention.

In the Figure 1 a cross section through a document 1 according to the invention is shown. One recognizes a front and back book cover 2, a plurality of data pages 3 and a security laminate 4 with personalization data. These elements are connected along their flange edges or folded edges by means of an elastomeric polymer 5.

In the Figure 2a one recognizes a single data sheet 7, which is arranged folded once along the dashed line 8 in the finished product. A row of perforation holes 6 is arranged in the data sheet 7 in the region of the flange web or the edge or folded edge of the flange web. These perforation holes 6 can be identical or different. They can be arranged at regular or irregular intervals. It is possible to arrange a row of perforation holes 6 or even several rows in the region of the flange. In the exemplary embodiment shown, there is a series of perforation holes 6 each with the same diameter, the shape of the hole being conical. The perforation holes 6 were produced by means of a Co2 short-pulse laser and have maximum and minimum diameters in the range from 100 μm to 800 μm. In the Figure 2b a side view of a folded data page sheet 7 is shown. In this folded manner, the data sheet 7 is inserted into the tool explained below. Alternatively, an already folded data sheet can be cut or punched along the edge of the gutter, thereby also perforation holes 6, as in FIG Figure 2a can be seen to be formed.

In the Figure 1 the book covers or covers 2 are compressed in thickness in the areas covered by the adhesive 5. They also contain perforation holes 6, typically with the same diameter ranges and shapes as the perforation holes 6 in data pages and / or the security laminate 4, in the example approx. 500 μm. They are formed and conical in the same way as the perforation holes 6 in the other components. The adhesive areas arranged on the outside of the book covers or bindings are expediently at least 300 μm thick in order to ensure a stable attachment of the book covers or covers.

On the outside of the book spine formed from the adhesive 5, lettering can be raised or recessed in the adhesive 5.

In the Figure 3 a tool 9 for carrying out the method according to the invention is shown. It consists of the molded parts 10, 11, 12 and 13. Between the molded parts 10 and 11, the data pages 3 (provided with the perforation holes 6 and folded) and the security laminate (with or without perforation holes on the collar web side) are arranged. The front and back book covers or book covers 2 are arranged between the molded parts 10 and 12 and between the molded parts 11 and 13. The mold parts 10, 11, 12 and 13 are acted upon by force in the directions of the arrows. The typical clamping force is in the range of 20 to 60 tons, which ensures is that the mostly rather thin-flowing adhesive 5 does not flow undesirably along the end faces. The adhesive 5 is then poured or injected in the area of the flange web. The adhesive 5 comprises the data pages 3, the security laminate and the book cover or book cover 2 and penetrates into the perforation holes 6 and reaches through them. Hotmelt EVA, reactive PU hotmelt or silicone hotmelt come into consideration as systems for the adhesive 5. Examples of suitable products include Desmodur®, Desmoflex® and Desmovit® from BMS Bayer Material Science GmbH, Flexonal® from Bachmann Kunststoff Technologie GmbH and polyurethane adhesives from Apollo Chemicals Ltd.

A finished document according to the invention comprises, for example, 10 to 50 data pages 3, a security laminate 4 or two such security laminates 4, a front and back book cover or book cover 2, and optionally an RFID transponder unit, for example in accordance with ICAO MRTD 9303 be arranged or incorporated in the security laminate 4 or the book cover or book cover 2.

As an alternative to the representation in the Figure 3 a book cover or book cover 2 cannot be inserted into the tool 9. Such an alternative is not part of the present invention. In such an alternative not according to the invention, the molded parts 10 and / or 12 and 11 and / or 13 are designed as negative forms of a book cover or book cover 2 to be produced by injection molding or casting, so that when the adhesive 5 is injected or poured into it Negative form flows in and this Components in one go together with the connection of the further components are formed in the manner described.
