Abstract
Description
Dectecteur pour le contrôle des éléments de sécuri- te~i~ntegres~dans~les cartes de credit pour ìmprimantes de facturation. Detector for checking security elements ~ i ~ ntegres ~ in ~ credit cards for billing printers.
La presente invention concerne un dispositif intégré dans le boitier mobile des imprimantes communement appelées "fer à repasser" et utilisées dans le système de facturation à partir de cartes de paiement. The present invention relates to a device integrated in the mobile box of printers commonly called "iron" and used in the billing system from payment cards.
La détection des fausses cartes de crédit ne peut être effectues actuellement qu'à posteriori, c'est-à-dire une fois qu'il y a eu escroquerie. The detection of fake credit cards can currently only be carried out after the fact, that is, once there has been a scam.
Cependant il est connu d'utiliser les rayons ultraviolets pour contrôler les éléments de sécurité à encre invisible dans les cartes de credit, mais ces dispositifs se presentent de façon separée. Ce qui entraîne une utilisation facultative et ce qui ne permet pas d'atteindre l'objectif ; en plus cette utilisation est peu discrète. However, it is known to use ultraviolet rays to control invisible ink security elements in credit cards, but these devices are presented separately. Which leads to optional use and what does not achieve the goal; in addition this use is not very discreet.
L'objet de l'invention est de fournir un tel detecteur, permettant un contrôle automatique, obtenu par 1 'inté- gration du détecteur dans le boftier mobile de l'imprimante. The object of the invention is to provide such a detector, allowing automatic control, obtained by integrating the detector into the mobile printer cabinet.
Le dispositif de la présente invention peut éviter un certaine nombre d'escroqueries par un contrôle rapide grâce à une lumiere ultraviolette, qui permet la lecture de l'encre intégrée dans les cartes de crédit, encre qui n'est pas visible à la lumière normale. The device of the present invention can avoid a certain number of scams by rapid control thanks to an ultraviolet light, which allows the reading of the ink integrated in the credit cards, ink which is not visible in normal light. .
La particularité de cette invention est que le dispositif de détection -soit une lampe à rayon ultraviolets de dimensions reduites- est integre dans la "tête d'impression" de la partie mobile de l'imprimante. The peculiarity of this invention is that the detection device - ie a lamp with ultraviolet ray of reduced dimensions - is integrated in the "print head" of the movable part of the printer.
Cette poignée ou "tête d'impression comporte un boîtier qui est pourvu d'un systeme d'alimentation à piles, rechargeables ou non ; le rechargement s'effectuant par cible rechargeable ou par système solaire. This handle or "printhead comprises a housing which is provided with a supply system with batteries, rechargeable or not; recharging being carried out by rechargeable target or by solar system.
Le système d'allumage est réalise par interrupteur situé sur une des parois latérales du bottier ou par la simple pression de la main sur le boîtier, ce qui permet une utilisation minime des piles ; le dispositif s'allume lors de l'utilisation de l'imprimante et s'éteint après factura tlon. The ignition system is realized by a switch located on one of the side walls of the shoemaker or by the simple pressure of the hand on the case, which allows minimal use of the batteries; the device switches on when the printer is used and switches off after billing tlon.
Le dispositif de la presente invention peut s'adapter sur des imprimantes déjà en service : un bottier avec dispositif remplace le bottier existant en enlevant des vis ou par système d'encastrage. The device of the present invention can be adapted to printers already in service: a shoemaker with a device replaces the existing shoemaker by removing screws or by embedding system.
Une variante du dispositif selon l'invention peut être appliquée sur tous les lecteurs électroniques de cartes de crédit, reliés à une centrale d'ordinateurs. A variant of the device according to the invention can be applied to all electronic credit card readers, connected to a central computer.
En effet, si la centrale peut refuser les cartes de crédit déclarées perdues ou volées, seul le dispositif selon l'invention permet la lecture des éléments de sécurité detectables aux rayons ultraviolets. In fact, if the central office can refuse credit cards declared lost or stolen, only the device according to the invention allows the reading of security elements detectable by ultraviolet rays.
A titre d'illustration des dessins ci-joints la figure 1 représente l'emplacement (3) du dispositif selon l'invention dans le chariot mobile (2) de l'imprimante ou "fer à repasser" (3). By way of illustration of the attached drawings, FIG. 1 represents the location (3) of the device according to the invention in the mobile carriage (2) of the printer or "iron" (3).
Le dispositif selon l'invention est dispose dans le compartiment (3) du boîtier (2), dans lequel est loge une alimentation (6) pour l'allumage d'une lampe à rayons ultraviolets (4). The device according to the invention is arranged in the compartment (3) of the housing (2), in which is housed a power supply (6) for lighting an ultraviolet lamp (4).
Cette lampe en éclairant la carte de crédit fera ressortir les éléments de sécurité mis dans la carte de cré- dit et lisibles seulement aux rayons ultraviolets. Elle sera placée preferentiellement sur le coté plutôt qu'en partie médiane, pour faciliter la lecture des éléments de sécurité de la carte. This lamp by illuminating the credit card will bring out the security elements put in the credit card and readable only by ultraviolet rays. It will preferably be placed on the side rather than in the middle part, to facilitate the reading of the security elements of the card.
La lampe (4) à rayons ultraviolets, faisant partie du dispositif selon l'invention, est constituée d'une mini lampe de Wood, sous forme d'un tube, disposée parallèlement audit côté du boîtier et maintenue par des embouts (5) et (5'). The lamp (4) with ultraviolet rays, forming part of the device according to the invention, consists of a mini Wood lamp, in the form of a tube, arranged parallel to said side of the housing and held by end caps (5) and (5 ').
La partie (6) dans laquelle est logée l'alimentation par des piles ou batteries rechargeables, est accessible par un couvercle amovible (8). Une fiche femelle (7) pour le branchement du rechargeur est prevue à la partie latérale inferieure du boîtier. The part (6) in which the supply by rechargeable batteries or batteries is housed, is accessible by a removable cover (8). A female plug (7) for connecting the recharger is provided at the lower side of the housing.
Des moyens de commande intégrés au boitier sont prévus, assurant soit un allumage continu ou non par l'intermédiaire d'un interrupteur (9) disposé à la partie superieure du boîtier, soit un allumage automatique lors de l'utilisation du chariot mobile par l'intermédiaire d'un interrupteur commandé par la pression appliquée par la main lateralement au boitier dans les zones représentées en (10) et (10') sur la fig. 1. Control means integrated into the box are provided, ensuring either a continuous ignition or not via a switch (9) disposed at the upper part of the box, or an automatic ignition when the mobile carriage is used by the 'Intermediate of a switch controlled by the pressure applied by the hand laterally to the housing in the areas shown in (10) and (10') in fig. 1.
La presente invention permettra ainsi à tous les propriétaires d'imprimantes (commerçants, hoteliers, banques, restaurateurs, etc..) une détection immédiate de toutes les fausses cartes de crédit qui n'auront donc pas les éléments de sécurité propres au type de la carte, tels qu'une inscription ou traitsde couleurs définis, par exemple ; rouge ou bleu. The present invention will thus allow all owners of printers (traders, hoteliers, banks, restaurateurs, etc.) to immediately detect all fake credit cards which will therefore not have the security elements specific to the type of card, such as an inscription or defined color strokes, for example; red or blue.
Un tel dispositif selon l'invention pourra être prevu d'origine ou intégré dans un boîtier s'adaptant en lieu et place du boîtier initial recouvrant la partie mobile. Such a device according to the invention may be provided from the outset or integrated into a housing which can be adapted in place of the initial housing covering the movable part.
