Abstract
A method of manufacturing a fibrous substrate incorporating at least one elongate impermeable security element 13 with a tessellated edge profile comprises the steps of: bringing the elongate element 13 into contact with a moving support surface having window forming means [10,12 figure 1], e.g. an embossed forming wire of a cylinder mould; and depositing fibres onto a support surface such that the elongate element 13 is incorporated into the fibrous substrate with the element at least partially exposed in a surface of the substrate at windows formed by the window forming means. The elongate element 13 comprises a plurality of wide regions 15,16 separated by narrow regions 14, the wide regions being of a width which obstructs the deposition of fibres thereby forming windows 19 in an opposing surface of the substrate, the narrow regions being of a width to allow fibre deposition. The substrate may be used to form security papers or documents such as banknotes, passports, vouchers certificates, bonds, or the like.
Description
A METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A FIBROUS SUBSTRATE
INCORPORATING AN ELONGATE ELEMENT WITH A VARIABLE EDGE
PROFILE
This invention is directed to improvements in rranufacturirlg substrates, such as paper, incc>rporat ing an elongate impermeable el event and a substrate made theref rod.
It is generally known to include elongate elements in paper or other substrates, usually as a security feature. Such elements can be threads, strips or ribbons of, for example, plastics f ilk, metal foil, metallised plastic, metal wire. These elongate elements are included in the thickness of the substrate to render imi tation of documents produced therefrom more difficult. These elements help in the verification of t he documents as they render the view of the documents in reflected light different from that in transmitted light. To increase the securit provided by the inclusion of such an elongate element, it i s also known to endow the element itself wit-in one or more_ verifiable properties over and above its presence or absence. Such additional properties include rragr.etic properties, electrical conductivities, the ability to absorb x-rays, fluorescerlcó;, optió ally variable effect s and thermochrornic behaviour.
As a further security feature, it Ices been found to be parti cularly advantageous to provide windows in one side of the surface of the substrate, which expose such elongate elements at spaced locations. Examples of,net}ods of manuf actur_ng paper incorporatir-ó3 security ó lernent.s Wit}1 or without windows are described below. It should be noted that referenó.-estc> "windowed thread paper'' i nclude wi ndowed paper incorporating any elongate security element.
EP-A-0059056 describes a method of manufacture of windowed thread paper on a cyl inder would paper making machine. The technique involves embossing the cylinder would cover to form raised regions and bringing an impermeable elongate security elornent into contact with the raised regions of the Would cover, prior to the contact entry point into a vat of aqueous paper stock. Where the impermeable security element makes intimate contact with the raised regions of the embossing, no fibre deposition can occur. After the paper is fully formed and couched from the cylinder could cover, water is extracted from the wet fibre mat and the paper is passed through a drying process. In the finished paper the contact points are present as exposed regions which ultimately form windows, visible in reflected light, on one side of the paper, which is most often used as banknote paper.
As the exposed regions of the elongate element can be used to display indicia or overt security features, it is considered to be an advantage in some applications to expose as big a surface area of the element as possible. Thus attempts have been made to wholly and partially embed elements which are wider than the more frequently used elements, which fall in the range of 0. 5mm to 2. 00mm.
Whilst the above-mentioned method has been commercially extremely successful, difficulties have been found in incorporating wider security elements a the impermeable nature of the security elements block the f low of l iquid through the mesh and the point where it lies, thereby interfering with the deposit:ior- of f ibres. Where the security element i s wi der than the typical lerlgtl- of the paper fibres used, the fibres are unable to bridge the security element, which therefore becomes exposed in pin holes or defects on the opposite side of the paper to the windows.
EP-A-0070172 proposes an alternative method of making paper having an elongate security element embedded therein, providing elements which have regions of permeability and regions of impermeability.
This method enables much wider element to be embedded in paper. When incorporated into paper on a cylinder- mould making machine, the permeable regions are embedded in the thickness of the paper and the less permeable regions are exposed at one surface thereof.
This method can be used for elongate elements having a width from 0.5mm to the full width of the sheet, which could be 5000mm.
EP-A-0229645 describes a method using two cylinder moulds to produce two separate plys of paper, With a security thread introduced in between tile two layers. The option of incorporating holes in troth layers by, for example, incorporating drainage restriction devices on the would covers is disclosed
in the specification. The resulting holes can be
registered to produce windows on each side of the thread. This method has a major drawback in that the two cylinder moulds need to be exactly the same diameter and li.rlked by a registration system which renders production of the paper extremely expensive This document also fails to teach how to actually achieve registration.
Based on the desire to be able to display as much information or indicia as possible in tile exposed regions, it has also been recoynised that it would be highly advantageous to be able to expose the elongate element on both sides of the paper, or other substrate, in which it is embedded. EPA-0059056 suggests that this could be achieved by using sufficiently large impervious projections on the cylinder would. The disadvantage with the method
described in this specification is that the holes
produced by the drainage limiting devices need to be covered up and this means that rather wide threads have to be used, which increases the cost of the paper. Another disadvantage of this method is that the windows on each side necessarily coincide.
it is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an improved method of embedding an elongate element within a fibrous substrate such that the element is exposed at both sides of the substrate in an alterTlating or coincident manner.
The invention therefore provides a method of making a fibrous substrate comprising the steps of bringing an elongate flexible impermeable element ir-to contact with window forming means provided on a moving support surface, depositing fibres onto the support surface to form a fibrous substrate, the deposition of fibres being carried out in such a manTler that as tile fibres are deposited onto the support surface the elongate element is incorporated in the substrate, wherein a first set of windows are formed in one s.:r-face of the substrate at the point of contact of the element with the window forming means, in which windows the element is at least partially exposed, wherein the elongate element comprises a plurality of wide regions separated by narrow regions, the wide regions being of a width which obstructs the deposition of fibres on the said wide regions to for-m a second set of windows in an opposing surface of the substrate in which the elongate element is also at least partially exposed, the narrow regions being such as to allow fibres to be deposited thereover to cause the narrow regions to be covered by the opposing surface of the fibrous substrate away from the substrate surface.
The substrate made by the method according to t},e invention thus has two very carefully crafted sets of windows which are designed by the geometry of the thread and the window forming means. Thus carefully designed sets of windows can therefore be used to maximize the usefulness of the area of the elongate element exposed, and a very different manner to allowing random floors to develop on the back of thread.
The invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: Fig. 1 is a crosssectional side elevation of a schematic of a paper-making vat for use in the method of manufacturing paper according to the present invention; Figs. 2 to 4 are plan views of alternative elongate elements for use in the method of the present invention; Figs. 5 and 6 are plan views of opposing sides of a sheet incorporatir-g the elongate element of figure 2; and Fig. 7 is a magnified view of one window of the sheet of Fig. 6, in which the elongate element has a partial white coating.
The method of manufacturing a fibrous sheet, such as paper, according to the present invention is illustrated with reference to Figs. 1 and 2. The method can be implemented on a known paper-making machine, such as a cylinder mould machine or a fourdrinier machine. Although the followir-g description refers to a cylinder mould cover, this Carl be replaced by the foraminous belt of a fourdrinier maC}liNe, such as is described in GBA-2260772.
A porous support surface, for example in the forrr- of a cylinder mould cover lO, is produced in a known way. The mould cover lO has raised portions 12, formed by embossing, suc}- as those described in EP-A 0059056. The raised portions 12 are spaced around the mould cover lO and contact of a security thread therewith restricts the draining of the water content of the paper slurry through the mould cover 10 at t}-e points of contact thereby preventing or reducing the deposition of fibres and defining the shape of the windows 17 formed in the final substrate. In this SpQC fication the term "window" includes a transparent or translucent region in the substrate of a predefirled shape and occurrence. It should be noted that ot}-,er window forming means for creating the windows may he used, such as electrotype, attached to the mould cover 10, which also directly prevents drainage and over which the thread is placed as shown in Figure 1.
In a known marlrler, the cylinder mould cover lO is rotated ir: a vat of fibrous stock ll as illustrated in Figure 1, and fibres are continuously deposited thereon in a known manner to form a continuous web of substrate. The stock may comprise fibres of natural materials, such as cotton, synthetic fibres or a mixture of both. As the cylinder would cover lo rotates, a flexible elongate impermeable element: 13, is brought into contact with the raised portions 12 of the cylinder would cover 10 above the level of the stock, i.e. before any fibres have been deposited on the would cover lO. As the would cover 10 rotates, the elongate element 13 is introduced into the stock, and is partially embedded in the substrate as it forms. The fibres deposit in the valleys between raised portions 12 to form bridges 18, under which the element 13 is embedded, between the windows 17 forge at the point of contact between the element 13 and raised portions 12. The continuous fibrous substrate (or web) is moved along continuously as it is formed, its direction of travel being known as the "machine direction".
The elongate element 13 used in the present invention, however, differs from that used in EP--A- 0059056 in that its width varies along its length having narrow regions 14 linking wider regions 15.
The narrow regions 1 are sufficiently narrow not to interfere with fibre deposition and so are covered by fibres during the paper making process. They therefore preferably have a width of less than 3mm, and more preferably less than 2.00mm. The wider regions 15, on the other hand, are sufficiently large to interfere with fibre deposition as they are too wide to be bridged by the fibres, and they are therefore left exposed in a second set of windows].9 on the reverse side of the fibrous sheet to blue windows 17 formed by the raised portions 12. It is well known that the selection of the fibre length is therefore important as the fibres must not-. be so long that they do bridge over the winder areas of the elongate element 13. Preferably the fiber length is roughly at least half the length of the width of the r,arr-ow parts of the elongate element. The wider regions 15 preferably have a width greater- than 3,r,r and the narrow regions preferably have a width less than 2mm.
Overall, the grammage of the substrate produced is preferably less titan 110gsm, and more preferably in the range of 80 to 110gsm.
The lengths of the wider regions 15 and the rrarrow regions 14 can be chosen to coincide with the lengths of the peaks of the raised portions 12 and the valleys between the raised portions 12 respectively, so that the windows 17,19 formed on each side of the substrate coincide, ie they are in full registration, forming an aperture in which the elongate element 13 can be seen from both sides of the sheet.
Alternatively, the aforementioned measurements can be selected so that the windows 17,19 on either side of the substrate are registered, but wholly offset so that the elongate element 13 is exposed at different points at each side of the substrate. As a further alternative the windows 17,19 on opposing sides of the substrate may be designed to be partially coincident with eachother.
In order for the elongate element 13 to be registered, a device will be required for controlling it's insertion.
As a further alternative, the windows 17,19 may be out Of register in a random manner.
Thus, substrates mace according to the preser,t invention are advantageous in that it is possible to increase the exposure of the element 14, not Just Crl one side of the substrate, but two sides, which pearls that it can be used to its best extent. This is important because these elements 13 can be expensive;, to provide. ', It should also be noted that many current pape- making method use paper making machines with a short former which creates a second paper layer which is merged with a first paper layer during the paper making production. The current method cannot use such machines as the second apply would effectively eliminate one of the sets of windows, unless the second ply is formed with apertures which overlie the exposed regions of the security element 14 in the first ply.
The elongate elements 13 are preferably made of clear polyethylene and are preferably die cut, and shaped to minimise wastage. As such the profiling; should be such that the threads tesselate. Examples of 4-4 some suitable profiles are shown in Figs. 2 to 4, although these are not restrictive. The wider r-egiorls may, for example, have semi circular profiles.
As an alternative to die cutting the elongate elements 13, a standard constant width elongate element 14 (or thread) can be used to whi C}1 a plurality of tabs, of a greater width than the elemer-rt itself are adhered. The tabs can be applied to one or both sides of the element 14 by means of an adhesive.
They may be applied by a stamping machine after- the element 14 has been unwound and just before entry into the vat. The tabs may be of the same or a differed: material to that of the element 14. They may also bear the same, or different, features such as those,, described below. They may also be of a matching or - contrasting colour. This means that the exper-se of slitting the element 14 in complex shapes can be avoided, and that existing technologies can be usecl.
Elongate security elements typically have a Layer of adhesive, which help the embedment within the substrate. In the present invention it is important that a suitable adhesive is used which does not cause the fibres Lo adhere in the windowed regions but in the vat.
The elongate elements can contain a wide variety of known security features which may include the following: a metallic layer, indicia or designs, WTliC'T1 appear dark, when the substrate is viewed in transmitted light, compared to the lighter-, partly light-transmitting, substrate. Inert viewed in reflected light, the shiny metallic parts will be clearly seen ire the windows; de-rnetallised indicia or designs, which may comprise areas of substantially removed metal to take advantage of the transparency of the base filTn and provide a large area of transparent window; - holographic designs, which may comprise areas of full metal and nalf- tone scr-eeTls to provide partial transparency and/or T10 rTTetal. Under certain viewing conditions, with no metal, a holographic image is still visible; - front to back print registration, in which features are printed which would clearly exhibit Moire patterns from both front and back if a counterfeit were attempted. Alternatively, MUCH patterns could be produced on a transparent film prior to insertion of the element 13 into the paper as a security feature itself. The exact reproduction of such patterns are very difficult to mimic; luminescent, iridescent, thermochromic, liquid crystal or magnetic materials; designs or indicts created by printed inks.
Many other options are available and with such a large exposed area of the element 13 available, it is possible to combine rranv security or decorative features together on one element 13. Al
In one embodiment of the invention, the parts of the wider regions 15 which extend beyond the width o the narrow regions, i.e. the sections shaded at the left hand end of Figures 2, 3 and 4 and marked with reference numeral 16, may be coated on one side with a math coating to match the colour of t!--e substrate.
This means that when the element 13 is viewed in reflected light through the windows l9 formed on the back of the substrate due to the wider regions 15, a constant width of the elongate element 13 will be seen, as shown in Figure 7. The wider regions 16 will not be visible as they blend in with the surrounding substrate. They will, however, be visible in transmitted light as the opaque areas of the element 13 will be seen as dark areas within the lighter, partly light- transmitting, substrate.
As an alternative, the wider regions 15 may he of a colour which means that they are visible.
The substrate may, in addition to t}-e variable profile elongate B described above, contain a second elongate element which is exposed in windows at the front of the substrate (as described in EP-A-0059056).
The substrate described above can be cut and printed to make all forms of documents, including security documents, such as banknotes, cheques, travellers cheques, identity cards, passports, bonds, security labels, stamps, vouchers etc.
