Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to anti-counterfeit paper, anti-counterfeit thermal paper, thread elements, and ticket papers thereof.
Specifically, regarding the strip-shaped thread element and the anti-counterfeit paper or anti-counterfeit thermal paper provided by embedding it, and the ticket paper using the same, the magnetic fixing data is transferred to the plastic resin substrate surface of the thread element. It is characterized by being provided by a skewed magnetic material pattern inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to a line orthogonal to the direction and a space region between the skewed magnetic material patterns.
In addition, the present invention relates to ticket sheets such as lottery tickets or car horse tickets, ballot tickets, tickets, receipts, certificates, pachinko ballots, etc. using anti-counterfeiting paper or anti-counterfeiting thermal paper.
[0002]
[Prior art]
For the purpose of preventing forgery, it has been proposed to use a thread made of glittering material or a magnetic thread by embedding it on paper or thermal paper, and it has been actually implemented.
For example, Patent Document 1 proposes a “counterfeit prevention thread and anti-counterfeit paper using the same”, and Patent Document 2 discloses “counterfeit prevention thread, anti-counterfeit paper using the same, and authenticity determination method”. Patent Document 3 and Patent Document 4 propose “counterfeit-proof thermal paper and ticket using the same”.
Paper with glittering threads is used for various gift certificates, book certificates, warranty cards, and the like.
[0003]
On the other hand, tickets for lottery tickets, car betting tickets, voting tickets, etc., are mainly using heat-sensitive colored paper. When issuing tickets, the contents of the vote are printed on the surface and linked to the contents of the vote at the same time. The printed barcode and OCR number are printed. Recognizing the hit of the ticket is performed by reading the bar code, OCR number, etc., and checking it against the registered hit database.
The authenticity of voting tickets and the like is determined by systematically checking the contents (voting contents) printed and printed on the surface. At the time of verification, there is a case where the hit data is deleted or not. When the application is performed, the number of counterfeit tickets that can be generated is limited to one. When the application is not performed, an unlimited number of counterfeit tickets may be generated.
There are various ways to use such a voting method. For example, there is a plan for predicting the result of a combination of matches such as sports and race competitions, and obtaining a prize if the predicted result is correct.
[0004]
However, since this conventional system uses bar codes and OCR numbers for recognition and verification of hits, once the code system and algorithm are known, the thermal paper itself can be easily obtained in large quantities on the market. This makes it impossible to create counterfeit tickets.
Therefore, for the purpose of preventing such counterfeit tickets, it has been proposed to incorporate a thread element for preventing counterfeiting into thermal paper or ticket as in Patent Document 3 or Patent Document 4.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In order to determine the authenticity of anti-counterfeit paper or thermal paper for anti-counterfeiting, it is difficult to obtain the identification material, and it is necessary to provide means that can mechanically recognize the material and make the recognition algorithm difficult to decode. There is a method of applying a discrimination material to the anti-counterfeit paper or the anti-counterfeit thermal paper itself by post-processing.
The discriminating material when applied by post-processing is a material that facilitates identification, such as holograms, diffraction grating patterns, or glittering materials, such as pearl ink and optically variable ink. Further restrictions on the materials that can be produced.
[0014]
In view of this, a thread element to which magnetic fixing data by a magnetic material as a discrimination material is applied in a special manner in a forgery prevention paper or a thermal paper for prevention of forgery is embedded (or partially embedded) during paper making. By doing so, it is not necessary to apply the discriminating material by post-processing, and discriminability can be imparted without being affected by the printing restrictions on the front surface of the paper itself and the design restrictions on the back surface.
In the case of thermal paper for preventing counterfeiting, due to the characteristics of the thermal paper, processing by heat must be avoided, and there is a restriction of processing on the back surface. On the back side, a variable data recording area can be provided by a magnetic toner layer.
[0015]
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1, 2, and 4, the anti-counterfeit thermal paper is described as an example, but the same applies to the anti-counterfeit paper, and it may be considered that the thermal color former layer is not provided.
FIG. 1 shows a thermal paper for preventing forgery in which thread elements are embedded. 1A is a plan view, and FIG. 1B is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG.
FIG. 2 shows another example of thermal paper for preventing counterfeiting in which thread elements are embedded. 2A is a plan view, and FIG. 2B is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. 2A.
FIG. 3 is a view showing a thread element of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a view showing a thermal roll paper in which the anti-counterfeit thermal paper is made into a roll shape.
In each drawing of this specification, the scale in the thickness direction is shown enlarged in the width direction.
[0016]
As shown in FIG. 1, the anti-counterfeit thermal paper 1 of the present invention is obtained by uniformly applying a thermal color former layer 3 to a paper base material 4 that has been engraved with thread elements 2. A strip-like thread element 2 provided with a magnetic material in a pattern is embedded in a part of the anti-counterfeit thermal paper 1 so as to be embedded in the paper base 4. The magnetic data of the embedded thread element 2 can be read from the surface of the thermal paper with a magnetic head.
In the case of thermal paper, the thread element 2 is formed in a straight line parallel to the slit direction in the case of thermal paper.
The embedding of the thread element 2 in the paper base material 4 means that the thread element 2 is embedded so as to be entirely covered with the thin paper stock of the paper, and is embedded so as to be partially exposed. This means that the thread element 2 is drawn so that the portion covered with the thin paper stock and the exposed portion appear intermittently. In the case of FIG. 1 (A), the former state is shown.
[0017]
The heat-sensitive color former layer 3 is applied to one side of the paper on which the thread element 2 is formed. The heat-sensitive color former to be used is not particularly limited. However, since light resistance and water resistance are required for the sheet surface or the like, it is preferable to use a leuco-type heat-sensitive color developer that satisfies these requirements.
The heat-sensitive color former may be applied by coating so as to exhibit partially different color tones, or the portions may be applied twice with different color tones.
The magnetic material pattern 6 of the thread element may be directed to the coating surface side of the color former or may be directed to the opposite side surface.
[0018]
The anti-counterfeit thermal paper 1 shown in FIG. 2 is also obtained by uniformly coating the thermal base material layer 3 on the paper base 4 on which the thread element 2 has been engraved. An example in which the same thread element 2 as in FIG. 1 is embedded in a part of the thermal paper so as to be intermittently exposed to the paper base 4 is illustrated.
The difference from the embodiment of FIG. 1 is that a magnetic toner layer 11 is provided on the surface opposite to the surface on which the thermal color former layer 3 is applied. The magnetic toner layer 11 is formed by using a magnetic printer with a patterned code after the thermal color former layer 3 is applied.
The thickness of the magnetic toner layer 11 is about 1 to 20 μm after drying.
A magnetic printer is a printer device of a type in which a substrate to be transferred is set on a surface on which a magnetic latent image is formed on a transfer drum surface, the magnetic toner is transferred thereon, and the toner is fixed by heat.
In the case of anti-counterfeit paper that is not coated with a heat-sensitive color former, the magnetic toner layer may be formed on either the front or back side.
The magnetic toner layer 11 is intended to record variable data when used as a ticket.
[0019]
3A and 3B are diagrams showing the thread element of the present invention, in which FIG. 3A is a plan view, FIG. 3B is an enlarged sectional view taken along line AA of FIG. 3A, and FIG. ) Is a diagram showing a case where a concealing layer, characters and patterns are provided on the magnetic material pattern.
A feature of the thread element 2 and the anti-counterfeit paper 1 of the present invention is that the magnetic fixed data with respect to the thread element 2 is skewed at a constant angle θ with respect to a line orthogonal to the length direction of the thread element 2. 6 is assigned.
The skewed magnetic material pattern 6 is applied on the plastic resin substrate 5 as a narrow bar-shaped pattern, and a space area 7 without a magnetic material is formed between them.
If expressed in an easy-to-understand manner, a white bar portion is provided as a space area portion 7 on the surface of the plastic resin substrate 5 as a skewed magnetic material pattern 6 that inclines a portion corresponding to a black bar of a conventional barcode pattern. Applicable.
[0020]
The line width of the bar in the case of an optical bar code is defined in JISX0501, JISX0502, etc., but the same can be applied in the case of a magnetic bar code.
For example, JISX0502 defines a fine element width of 1.016 mm, a thick element width of 2.540 mm, and the like. Further, JISX0501 stipulates that 0.33 mm is a basic module and can be varied in a range of 0.8 to 2.0 times. The width of the magnetic material pattern can be made similar.
As with the magnetic barcode, the magnetic material pattern 6 and the space area portion 7 which are skewed can be given with a certain regularity to give certain magnetic fixed data. If the magnetic fixed data is repeatedly given, The thread element can periodically read the data.
[0021]
If the reading of the magnetic fixed data of the thread element 2 is performed without applying the angle of the magnetic head as usual (θ = 0), the magnetic signal resulting from the pattern cannot be obtained. Therefore, if measurement is performed with a magnetic head applied at the same angle as the magnetic material pattern, a magnetic signal resulting from the pattern can be acquired.
That is, there is a feature that data cannot be read unless the magnetic material pattern on the thread element matches the magnetic head angle. It is empirically recognized that when the angle (azimuth angle) between the magnetic head and the pattern is 30 degrees, it is about 60% in the case of parallelism and about 20% when it is 45 degrees.
Therefore, the predetermined angle θ at which reading is impossible at the normal magnetic head angle is preferably in the range of 20 degrees to 80 degrees, more preferably in the range of 45 degrees to 75 degrees. This is because reading is possible even with a normal magnetic head below 20 degrees, and reading becomes difficult above 80 degrees.
[0022]
The skewed magnetic material pattern 6 can be preferably applied by a gravure printing method or a silk screen printing method, but may be applied by a vacuum film forming method.
In the case of the printing method, for example, it is formed by patterning with ink using a soft magnetic or ferromagnetic magnetic material. The thickness of the magnetic ink layer by printing is about 1 to 10 μm after drying.
When the thickness is 1 μm or less, the magnetic signal is small, and when the thickness is 10 μm or more, it is difficult to wind the paper and the ink layer is easily peeled off.
After the oblique magnetic material pattern is provided on the printing plate and printed on the plastic resin substrate with a wide width, it can be cut to a required thread element width.
Further, the side surface of the magnetic material pattern 6 when the thread element 2 is formed on the paper may be on the coated surface side of the thermosensitive color former layer 3 or on the opposite surface side.
[0023]
In the case of a vacuum film formation method, an evaporation method using a mask is used. The mask has a pattern that repeats fixed data. In this case, the thickness of the magnetic material needs to be 50 nm (500 mm) or more, and the upper limit is about 500 nm.
For easy detection, 100 to 200 nm is desirable. The reason why the lower limit value of the layer is 50 nm is that the thickness of the magnetic material layer is reduced, so that the saturation magnetic flux decreases as the absolute amount of the magnetic material decreases, and the magnetic signal becomes smaller. This is because the magnetic material layer needs to have a thickness of 50 nm or more in order to obtain a magnetic signal to be used.
The reason why the upper limit is 500 nm is that when the thickness is larger than this, the characteristics of the thread element are deteriorated due to curling due to internal stress of the film, and wrinkles and cracks may occur.
[0024]
It is preferable that at least the slanted magnetic material pattern surface of the thread element 2 is provided with a concealing layer 12 by printing or a character and pattern 13 by printing as shown in FIG. Characters and patterns may be further provided on the back surface of the thread element 2.
The provision of the concealing layer 12, characters, and pattern 13 is a special magnetic pattern, and has the purpose of keeping the contents of the magnetic fixed data secret and the purpose of decoration.
Even when the thread element is embedded in the paper, it is a thin paper layer, so that characters and patterns can be visually recognized through the watermark.
[0025]
A polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin base is usually used for the plastic resin base 5 of the thread element 2 provided with the magnetic material pattern 6 in terms of dimensional stability. Other plastic resin substrates may be used.
The thickness of the substrate is about 4 to 25 μm, but about 10 to 16 μm is more desirable in consideration of the processing ability of the magnetic film and the degree of swelling when embedded in the paper. That is, if the thickness is less than 4 μm, coating is difficult due to the suitability for machining, and if the thickness exceeds 25 μm, unevenness occurs when embedded in thin paper.
The width of the thread element is preferably in the range of 0.3 to 4 mm, and more preferably 0.5 to 1.5 mm from the viewpoint of easy detection of magnetic characteristics. The detection of the magnetic characteristics is not hindered from the front and back as long as the paper thickness is up to about 150 μm.
[0026]
The thread element is embedded in the paper during paper making, and a round netting multi-cylinder paper making machine is generally used. In the case of the round net multi-cylinder type, the lower layer paper is made before threading, the thread is placed on the paper, and the paper material is further put on to make a single base paper.
When threading the thread element, it supports the supply side of the wound thread and puts it on the paper stock of the paper net, so it is usually straightened parallel to the paper flow direction. Will be. In the case of the ticket paper, it is finished as a high-quality paper or OCR paper, and the thickness of the paper layer is suitably about 65 to 150 μm.
When threading the thread element, a so-called window type (embedded so as to be partially exposed) in which the thread is periodically exposed from the paper surface by using a special paper mesh can be used. In this case, it is preferable to apply the heat-sensitive color former to the surface side where the window does not appear or to avoid the thread portion even on the window surface side.
[0027]
Next, a description will be given of a ticket using anti-counterfeit paper or anti-counterfeit thermal paper embedded with thread elements.
FIG. 4 is a view showing a thermal roll paper in which the anti-counterfeit thermal paper is made into a roll shape. The thread element 2 is formed on the heat-sensitive roll paper 8 so as to be parallel to the edge of the roll paper.
When the anti-counterfeit thermal paper is used for ticket paper, it is generally set in a ticket printer in such a roll shape having a unit width. When voting content (predicted data or the like) is input, predetermined data is thermally printed on the heat-sensitive surface by the printer, color is generated, cut into a size of one sheet, and discharged. The voter holds this voting ticket until the results are known.
It goes without saying that a predetermined matter may be printed on the anti-counterfeit paper to make a ticket, regardless of the thermal paper. In this case, simple printing, thermal transfer printing, or the like is employed.
[0028]
FIG. 5 is a plan view showing a unit ticket. It is common to output vote content confirmation data 21 and system confirmation data 22 on the surface of the ticket 10. The system confirmation data 22 is usually detected optically, and a barcode or OCR is used for the detection.
When the winning or losing is determined by the end of the game or the lottery, the authenticity of the data is checked by reading the system confirmation data 21.
At that time, the authenticity of the ticket itself can be checked by detecting the magnetic characteristics and magnetic data of the embedded thread element with a magnetic head having a detection capability in accordance with the magnetic characteristics.
Even if the printed contents of voting content confirmation data 21 and system confirmation data 22 are leaked and decoded, and printed on commercially available anti-counterfeit paper or anti-counterfeit thermal paper, the substrate itself is different. It can be detected reliably.
Since fixed data is recorded in the thread element, the authenticity of the authenticity check is further increased. Providing printing characters and patterns on the thread element also increases the certainty of authenticity.
[0029]
The thread element of the present invention can be used not only embedded in a paper layer but also directly attached to a paper material or a plastic material.
FIG. 6 is a plan view showing a unit plastic paper in such a case.
In the process before cutting into the thread element 2, a hot melt type adhesive layer is applied to the surface of the thread element on the magnetic material pattern surface or the opposite side, and after cutting into a narrow thread element, A process of continuously adhering to a paper material or a plastic material while heating the hot-melt adhesive layer is performed. The material after sticking is cut into a necessary narrow width to obtain a roll ticket material. A magnetic toner layer may be provided on the back surface.
The roll ticket paper material or roll plastic ticket material with the thread element completed in such a process is printed with the voting content confirmation data 21 and the system confirmation data 22 in a predetermined printing process such as thermal transfer printing. If it is cut into a size and issued, a ticket with a thread element and a plastic ticket 10p are completed.
Since these paper sheets and plastic paper sheets do not require a paper making process, costs can be reduced.
[0030]
<Embodiments related to materials used>
Next, the material used for the thread element will be further described.
As the plastic resin substrate 5, a resin film having solvent resistance and heat resistance can be used. Generally, a PET resin film, a polyamide resin film, a polyimide resin film, a cellulose resin film, a polypropylene resin film, etc. Is mentioned.
[0031]
Next, the ferromagnetic material may be crystalline or amorphous, and a magnetic material composed of one or a combination of two or more of iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), and nickel (Ni), Alternatively, any one or two of them as a main component, and boron (B), carbon (C), magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), silicon (Si), phosphorus (P), sulfur (S), titanium (Ti), vanadium (V), chromium (Cr), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), yttrium (Y), zirconium (Zr), niobium (Nb), molybdenum (Mo), palladium (Pd), silver (Ag), indium (In), tin (Sn), tantalum (Ta), tungsten (W), iridium (Ir), platinum (Pt), gold (Au), lead (Pb) And a additive al chosen several metallic or non-metallic element.
[0032]
The formation of a magnetic film made of a ferromagnetic material is performed by sputtering, vapor deposition, ion plating, etc. using a material composed of an alloy composed of iron, cobalt, nickel as a main component and an additive element or a mixture thereof as a target material or a vapor deposition source. It forms on a thread | sled base material by the means using a vacuum process.
Alternatively, as described above, these ferromagnetic materials can be applied as ink materials.
[0033]
Such a ferromagnetic material exhibits unique characteristics in Hc (coercive force) and Bm (saturation magnetic flux density). From the magnetic characteristics, the normally applied magnetic field strength and the magnetic flux density of the magnetic material magnetized by the magnetic field are Since it has a non-linear BH characteristic (hysteresis curve), it can be clearly distinguished from a general magnetic material.
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a hysteresis curve of a magnetic material. In the ferromagnetic material, as shown in FIG. 7A, the ferromagnetic material layer has a small coercive force Hc and a high squareness ratio (0.8 to 1). .0) BH hysteresis curve.
On the other hand, in a general magnetic material, as shown in FIG. 7B, the saturation magnetic flux density Bm decreases, the coercive force Hc increases, and a hysteresis characteristic with a low squareness ratio (0.5 or less) is obtained.
[0034]
As magnetic ink (soft magnetic ink) and magnetic toner, ink obtained by kneading a magnetic particle having a small holding force and small anisotropy and a binder can be used. Magnetic particles having a particle diameter of 0.01 to 5 μm, preferably 0.5 to 3 μm can be used.
The coercive force is preferably 16000 A / m (200 oersted) or less, and the squareness ratio is preferably 0.5 or less.
The magnetic characteristics of such a magnetic ink are, for example, a hysteresis curve as shown in FIG.
[0035]
Soft magnetic ink and toner materials include magnetic alloys made of Al, Si, Fe, etc., permalloy, sendust, Fe powder, carbonyl Fe powder, Ni powder, Mn-Zn ferrite, Co-Zn ferrite, Ni-Zn ferrite, etc. Ferrite, metal amorphous material, etc. can be used. These may include magnetic materials other than soft magnetic materials. For example, γ-Fe ₂ O ₃ Co coated Fe ₂ O ₃ , Fe ₃ O ₄ Fe powder, Fe-Cr, Fe-Co, Co-Cr, Co-Ni, Ba ferrite, Sr ferrite, CrO ₂ Etc.
As the ink binder to be used, vinyl acetate type, acrylic type, nitrified cotton type, rubber type and the like can be used. As the toner binder, use can be made of vinyl chloride / urethane, vinyl chloride, polyurethane, acrylic, nitrified cotton, epoxy, rubber, and the like.
[0036]
<About thread element reading methods>
Next, a thread element reading method and apparatus will be described.
Fixed data is given to the thread element as a skewed magnetic material pattern. Therefore, reading of magnetic fixed data is substantially impossible with a magnetic head orthogonal to the length direction of the thread element as usual.
Therefore, in order to read the thread element of the present invention, it is necessary to adjust the magnetic head to be inclined by a predetermined angle θ with respect to a line perpendicular to the length direction of the thread element so as to be parallel to the oblique magnetic material pattern. is there. By doing so, it becomes possible to recognize the fixed data patterned under the magnetic head through the thread element.
[0037]
The reading of the thread element originates from (1) the signal in the magnetic body (magnetic recording signal), (2) the presence / absence (pattern) signal (barcode signal), (3) signal strength, and (4) magnetic body A signal representing the characteristics of the magnetic material is read, and the above four points are read with a magnetic head adjusted in angle as described above. A magnetic head that does not match the angle cannot read the presence / absence (pattern) signal (barcode signal) of the magnetic material.
Since the present invention is a mechanism for expressing the security function by these, the authenticity can be determined by the signal of any one of the above (1) to (4) and reading by the oblique magnetic head, and the security can be ensured.
Further, the reading of the thread element can be detected by AC excitation of the magnetic head and comparing the signal waveform of the reference coil with the output waveform of the detection coil.
[0038]
【Example】
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
(Example 1)
<Production of thread element>
As the resin base material 5 of the thread element, a printing ink made of a soft magnetic material was printed on a transparent PET film [thickness: 16 μm] with good smoothness by a gravure printing method to give magnetic fixing data (FIG. 3 ( A)).
The fixed data includes a magnetic material pattern portion having a width of 2 mm and a width of 4 mm so that a magnetic material pattern and a space area portion which are inclined so as to be inclined at an angle of 70 degrees with respect to a line orthogonal to the flow of the PET film appear alternately. Printing was performed using magnetic ink so that a portion consisting of a space area having a width of 2 mm was formed, and fixed data (numerical data by a magnetic barcode) was repeated in the flow direction of the substrate.
[0039]
A white concealment ink 12 was printed on the magnetic material pattern surface by a gravure printing method, and then a tint block pattern 13 composed of characters “ABAB” was continuously printed. As a result, the magnetic material pattern is not visible from the outside.
This thread material was slit to a width of 1 mm using a slitter machine to complete the magnetic thread element 2 with fixed data (FIGS. 3A and 3C).
[0040]
<Preparation of anti-counterfeit thermal paper>
After this thread element 2 is formed on a base paper (high quality paper) having a thickness of 100 μm, a leuco thermal color former (black color) is applied on the surface under the same conditions as those of a normal thermal color paper. ² Was applied to complete the anti-counterfeit thermal paper (FIG. 1).
The counterfeit-preventing thermal paper was slit into a width of 85 mm to obtain a thermal roll paper 8 for ticket paper (FIG. 4).
[0041]
<Ticketing>
The voting content confirmation data 21 and the system confirmation data 22 were printed on the thermal coloring agent layer 3 of the anti-counterfeit thermal paper by thermal printing using a ticketing printer having a thermal head, and the ticket 10 was issued. The system confirmation data 22 is displayed as a barcode (FIG. 5).
[0042]
(Example 2)
<Production of thread element>
After applying a polyester-based hot-melt adhesive on the back of the thread material produced under the same conditions as in Example 1, using a slitter machine, slitting to a width of 1.2 mm, a magnetic thread element with fixed data 2 was completed (FIG. 3C).
[0043]
<Production of rolls for plastic tickets>
The adhesive of the thread element 2 was attached to a PET film having a thickness of 50 μm while being heated using a hot roll.
This anti-counterfeit PET film was slit to a width of 85 mm to obtain a plastic ticket roll.
[0044]
<Plastic paper ticketing>
The plastic ticket 10p was issued by thermally transferring the voting content confirmation data 21 and the system confirmation data 22 to a plastic ticket roll using a thermal transfer ribbon and a ticket printer having a thermal head (FIG. 6).
The system confirmation data 22 is displayed as a barcode.
[0045]
The above-mentioned ticket or plastic ticket could be clearly identified and determined as a ticket made of general anti-counterfeit paper by measuring magnetic fixed data.
In addition, although the object to which the present invention is applied is expressed as anti-counterfeit paper or anti-counterfeit thermal paper and ticket, plastic ticket, etc., it is a car horse ticket, soccer ticket, other admission ticket, seat designation ticket, instant ticket, etc. The present invention can be applied to various uses such as a lottery ticket, a ski lift ticket, and an admission ticket, and does not simply exclude differences in terms and purposes.
[0046]
【The invention's effect】
As described in detail above, in the anti-counterfeit paper or anti-counterfeit thermal paper or ticket paper of the present invention, since the thread element is incorporated in the base material, it is difficult to manufacture the base material itself, It can be easily discriminated from normal forgery prevention paper and ticket paper using the same, and forgery of paper and ticket paper can be effectively prevented.
In addition, since the magnetic material pattern of the thread element is inclined with respect to the side of the thread, the content of the fixed data cannot be read with a normal magnetic head, and imitation or forgery by a third party is not possible. It can be effectively prevented.
In the magnetic information reading method of the present invention, information is read using a magnetic head inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the thread element, so that it cannot be read by a normal magnetic head reader.
