Definitions

  • the invention relates to a data carrier, in particular a value or security document, with a substrate in which a window security element is embedded.
  • Data carriers such as banknotes, shares, bonds, certificates, vouchers, checks, high-quality admission tickets, but also other papers at risk of forgery, such as passports or other identification documents, are often provided with security elements for protection, which allow the authenticity of the value document to be checked and at the same time serve as protection against unauthorized reproduction.
  • the security elements can be designed in the form of a window security element, for example a window security thread, that is fully or partially embedded in the data carrier.
  • Window security threads are security threads that are neither applied to a surface of a data carrier substrate nor fully embedded in the substrate. Rather, they are partially embedded in the substrate in such a way that they are only visible in certain window areas on one or both opposite surfaces of the substrate.
  • window security elements as with other security elements introduced into a data carrier, there is a risk that the security elements will be detached from an original document, for example due to moisture or with the aid of solvents, and will be used in fragments to produce a number of counterfeit documents.
  • pamphlet DE 10 2015 000 690 A1 relates to a data carrier according to the preamble of claim 1, having a substrate with at least one paper layer in which a window security thread is embedded, which is visible in certain window areas on the surface of the data carrier substrate.
  • the invention is based on the object of specifying a data carrier of the type mentioned at the outset with a particularly high degree of security against forgery.
  • the window areas and web areas are advantageously arranged in a regular sequence.
  • the window areas can in particular all have the same shape and size and adjacent window areas can be formed at the same distance from one another.
  • the window areas and web areas are arranged irregularly.
  • the window areas can have different shapes and/or sizes, and the distances between adjacent window areas can also vary.
  • the security features show essentially the same appearance in all test areas. In principle, however, it is also possible for the security features to appear differently in different test areas.
  • the security features of the test areas are advantageously formed by diffractive structures, in particular holograms, holographic grating images or hologram-like diffraction structures, or by achromatic structures, in particular matte structures, micromirror arrangements, blazed gratings with a sawtooth-like groove profile or Fresnel lens arrangements.
  • Security features can also contain luminescent or magnetic substances. Mere imprints without any other security function do not represent security features in the sense of the present description.
  • a security function can be obtained, for example, by using optically variable, magnetic or luminescent inks.
  • the window security element can be provided with a cancellation notice in at least one free area, which in the embedded state of the security element is not visible either in reflected light or in transmitted light.
  • the invalidation notice can in particular be formed by an invalidating imprint, for example with the words “void”, “invalid”, “invalid”, “false” or the like.
  • the substrate preferably comprises a paper layer in which the window areas and web areas or the window area and the covering area are formed.
  • the substrate can be single-layer, but can also be multi-layer, in which case the window security element is preferably embedded in the interior of the multi-layer substrate.
  • a multi-layer substrate is in particular a paper-foil composite or a foil composite, for example a three-layer composite with a layer sequence of foil/paper/foil or foil/foil/foil or paper/foil/paper.
  • a composite with the layer sequence foil/foil/paper/foil/foil also comes into consideration as a multi-layer substrate.
  • a registered introduction of a window security element can in particular according to one of the documents WO 2004/050991 A1 described procedures. To this extent, the disclosure content of this publication is included in the present application.
  • the registered incorporation can take place, for example, with the aid of a reference feature provided on the security element, for example a negative text.
  • Registration marks can also be used, which are provided, for example, at a distance of a sheet length and are cut away into individual blanks during the separation and are therefore no longer visible in the finished data carrier.
  • an elongated window security element can also be introduced into two or more layers of multi-layer substrates. These window security elements can be arranged in such a way that together they produce information.
  • figure 1 shows a schematic representation of a banknote 10 with a paper substrate 12 and a window security thread 14 embedded in the paper substrate 12.
  • the window security thread 14 emerges in regularly arranged window areas 16 on the surface of the banknote 10, while in the intervening web areas 18 inside the Banknote 10 is embedded.
  • the window security thread runs parallel to the short edge of the banknote.
  • the thread runs parallel to the long edge.
  • Embodiments with a thread running diagonally in the banknote or with any arrangement are also conceivable. This applies to any elongated window security element and any data carrier.
  • the window security thread 14 contains security features 20, for example in the form of holograms, which can be seen in the window areas 16 of the bank note 10 when viewed from above. Security features are not visible in the web areas 18 either in reflected light or in transmitted light.
  • test areas 2 shows a schematic cross section of bank note 10 in the area of embedded window security thread 14 along line II-II of FIG 1, and 3 shows a top view of the not yet embedded window security thread 14 itself.
  • all of the test areas contain the same holographic representation of the denomination "10" of the bank note against a patterned background for illustration.
  • the free areas 28 lying between the test areas 26 are formed without any security features and are formed, for example, by the bare carrier film of the security thread.
  • the window security thread 14 with its test areas 26 and free areas 28 is registered with the sequence of window areas 16 and web areas 18 embedded in the substrate in such a way that the security features 20 of the test areas 26 in the window areas 16 are visible in reflected light and the clear areas 28 are hidden in the land areas 18.
  • the window security thread 14 thus contains security features only in those sub-areas that are also visible when viewed, namely in the test areas 26 arranged below the window areas 16.
  • the free areas 28 lying in between and covered by the web areas 18 contain no security features. In this way, in contrast to conventional designs with continuous security features, it is not possible in principle to pull the window security thread 14 out of a banknote, cut it up and produce counterfeit banknotes with the help of the original security features below the bar areas.
  • figure 4 shows a top view of a window security thread 30 according to a further embodiment of the invention.
  • the test areas 26 of the window security thread 30 are as in the security thread 14 of 3 educated.
  • the free areas 32 of the window security thread 30 are not unused, but are provided with a cancellation notice 34 in the form of the imprint "void", which prevents further use of the free areas 32 for the production of counterfeit banknotes even if the window security thread 30 is extracted.
  • the cancellation notice 34 is printed in a light color on the carrier film of the security thread 30 and is therefore hidden under the web areas 18 in the embedded state of the window security thread 30 and is not visible either in reflected light or in transmitted light.
  • the embodiment shown, not claimed, represents a window patch 40 embedded in the paper substrate 12 of a banknote.
  • the window patch 40 emerges in a crest-shaped window area 42 on the surface of the bank note and is covered in the overlay area 44 lying outside the window area 42 .
  • the edge 46 of the window patch 40 is indicated in the figure with dashed lines.
  • the window patch 40 contains a security feature 50, for example in the form of an achromatic micromirror arrangement, which can be seen in the window area 42 of the bank note in plan view and gives the viewer a three-dimensional impression of a value number "10" curved in two spatial directions in front of a patterned background with an outline in the shape of a coat of arms.
  • security features are not visible either in reflected light or in transmitted light.
  • FIG. 6 shows a top view of the not yet embedded window patch 40 with a coat of arms-shaped test area 52 and a free area 54 surrounding the test area.
  • the test area 52 is provided with the described security feature 50, while the surrounding free area 54 has no security features but instead has a cancellation notice 56 in the form a plurality of imprints "void" is provided.
  • the window patch 40 is embedded with its test area 52 and free area 54 in the substrate 12 such that the security feature 50 of the test area 52 is visible in the window area 42 in reflected light, while the free area 54 is hidden in the overlapping area 44 .
  • the free area surface of the window patch 40 can even with a extraction cannot be used for the manufacture of counterfeit banknotes.
