Abstract

This patent relates to a smart blade and a process for obtaining it, the use of which is in the field of data security, such as: fiduciary bonds, tax and consular stamps, monetary notes, contract certificates, identification cards, security cards, key devices and others. The invention involves a dry, thin blade or strip made from all kinds of substances (organic, plastic, polymeric and metallic fibres) reduced to a mass with the inclusion and incorporation of a system comprising an inlay, an electronic device made up of sensors and data storage devices incorporated into it, and a conductor that allows radiofrequency electromagnetic waves to be emitted or captured, and possibly a hologram embedded in the inlay. The result is a single, indivisible blade, constituting a new single element that is inseparable in its composition by means of the production process applied.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention patent relates to a smart blade and the process for obtaining it, the use of which is in the field of data security, such as: fiduciary bonds, tax and consular stamps, monetary notes, contract certificates, identification cards, security cards, key devices and others.
The production of a dry, thin blade made of all kinds of substances (organic, plastic, polymeric, metallic fibres and others) reduced to a mass with the inclusion of a security tape made up of an inlay, an electronic device made up of embedded sensors and a conductor that allows electromagnetic waves to be emitted or captured, and possibly a hologram embedded in said inlay, to be used in sensitive and/or security compositions such as fiduciary bonds, tax and consular stamps, monetary notes, certificates, contracts, identification cards, security cards, key devices, etc. for writing, printing, wrapping, enveloping, protecting, packaging, coating, insulating, separating, decaling, engraving, insulating, documenting, involves a more sophisticated, complex process and different materials compared to the production of paper, cardboard, cardboard and other common elements.

BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION

Technologies have been developed and improved for a variety of applications, such as interactive advertising, smart packaging, document authentication, e-books, monetary notes, dynamic price tags and much more. The smart blade represents an interesting convergence between traditional media, unusual media and advanced electronics, opening new possibilities for the interaction and functionality of special blade materials.
The invention differs from existing elements in complexity, scope, performance, safety, flexibility of use, resistance and diversification of use and application.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Smart blades, as blades of various compositions, aim to meet the needs of security, flexibility of use, description, identification, data archiving, various controls, currently used in the paper, plastic blade and metal blade segments, as well as incorporating accessibility for the disabled, tourists, equipment, vehicles, machinery and various objects.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The invention involves a dry, thin blade or strip made from all kinds of substances (organic, plastic, polymeric and metallic fibres) reduced to a mass with the inclusion and incorporation of a system consisting of an inlay, an electronic device made up of embedded sensors and data storage devices, and a conductor that allows radiofrequency electromagnetic waves to be emitted or captured, and possibly a hologram embedded in the inlay. The result is a single, indivisible blade, constituting a new single, inseparable element in its composition.
For use in sensitive and/or security compositions, such as fiduciary bonds, tax and consular seals, banknotes, certificates, contracts, identification cards, security cards, key devices, etc. For writing, printing, wrapping, enveloping, protecting, packaging, coating, insulating, separating, decaling, engraving, insulating, documenting, it involves a more sophisticated, complex process and different materials compared to the production of paper, cardboard, metal blade and other common elements.
Components of the invention: mass made up of binders and various aggregates such as cotton, cellulose, organic fibres and metal particles in the case of metal blades.
A system consisting of an inlay, an electronic device with built-in sensors and data storage, and a conductor that allows electromagnetic waves to be emitted or captured.
Possibly hologram inlaid in the inlay according to the use of the blade.
Technical Description: specific details of the components, operation and construction of the invention. Mass composed of binders and various aggregates such as cotton, cellulose, organic fibres and metal particles in the case of metal blades.
A system consisting of an inlay, an electronic device with built-in sensors and data storage, and a conductor that allows electromagnetic waves to be emitted or captured.
Possibly hologram inlaid in the inlay according to the use of the blade.
The mass is achieved by mixing the components chosen according to the product to be obtained, aggregates and binders specific to each objective.
The final mass includes the electronic device inlay with its components arranged and sized according to the product's use.
The resulting product is an identifiable blade that exchanges information through its electronic components integrated with any equipment, gadgets such as mobiles, watches, lanyards, tablets, etc.
Preferred Examples: Specific examples of how the invention can be realised or applied.
The smart blade or foil, as a blade or foil, is used where a tamper-evident security system is required, such as for banknotes, notarial documents, packaging, logistical elements, coatings for construction elements, automotive elements, vessels, aircrafts, decorative elements, clothing as a form of control, aesthetic details, identification.
Variations and Modifications: Other ways of implementing the invention.
With a wide range of applications in the production of various books, religious books with the aim of security, control and accessibility. In the health sector, Medical prescriptions, leaflets and medicine packaging, enabling audio description, translation and instructions for use.

DESCRIPTION OF INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS OF THE INVENTION

Blade rotary machine with communication and identification inlay included.

Rotary blade machine:
- Rotary machines are specially modified to include the inlay insertion process during paper formation.
the Inbox:
- Rotary machines are specially modified to include the inlay insertion process during paper formation.
the Inbox:
- The diluted mass is evenly distributed on a mobile screen.
b Training Section:
- The putty forms a liquid blade on the screen. At this point, the inlay is introduced into the mass.
Inlay insertion:
- Inlays can be made of metal or plastic. And contain microtexts and holograms.

Insertion can be continuous or in segments, depending on the design of the blade or smart blade.

c Pressing section:
- The wet blade, now with the inbuilt safety strip, passes through pressure rollers to remove the water and increase the density.
d Drying Section:
- The blade passes through heated cylinders or hot air dryers to remove the moisture.
and Calendering Section:
- The dry smart blade is smoothed and compacted, ensuring that the security tape is well integrated into its core and does not compromise the integrity of the blade.
Additional Finish and Safety Rewinding:
- The blade is rolled into large coils.
Cutting and packaging:
- The blade is cut to the desired final dimensions and packaged.
Quality Control Safety Inspection:
- The smart blade undergoes rigorous quality tests.
- Inspections include checking the integrity of the safety tape, the presence and correct positioning of the tape and other safety features.

Therefore, the production of smart blade with security tape on rotary machines is a highly specialised process that guarantees the incorporation of essential security features to prevent fraud and counterfeiting. Each stage of the process, from raw material preparation to final quality control, is carefully managed to ensure the production of a secure, high-quality blade.
