Description

  The present invention relates to a thread that is configured by mounting an IC chip on a base substrate and is used by being sandwiched between two sheet substrates.

  In the past, counterfeit crimes have frequently occurred in securities such as prepaid cards, various admission tickets, gift certificates and stock certificates because they are widely distributed and can be exchanged relatively easily. In particular, in recent years, with the improvement and popularization of copying machines such as color copiers, counterfeit products that cannot be easily distinguished from genuine products can be manufactured relatively easily, and countermeasures against counterfeiting are required. Yes. Moreover, measures against counterfeiting are required not only for the above-mentioned securities but also for banknotes.

  As one of countermeasures against such counterfeiting, a technique for preventing forgery of securities or banknotes by attaching a member called a thread to securities or banknotes or sandwiching them between paper base materials is considered. Yes. In this technology, a thread formed by cutting a plastic film, thin paper, etc. to a width of about several millimeters is not exposed from the surface of securities or banknotes, or securities such that a part is exposed from the surface. It is inserted between paper bases of banknotes, and authenticity of securities and banknotes is determined by the presence or absence of this thread.

  Furthermore, in recent years, a technique for determining the authenticity of securities and bills using a thread on which an IC chip capable of reading information in a non-contact state is mounted has been considered. In this technique, a thread in which an IC chip is bonded to one side of a film cut to a width of about several millimeters is embedded in a recess formed in a paper base of securities or banknotes, When the bill is used, information written on the IC chip is read to determine the authenticity of the securities or the bill (for example, see Patent Document 1).

  7A and 7B are diagrams showing an example of a conventional thread on which an IC chip is mounted. FIG. 7A is a view seen from the surface, and FIG. 7B is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A ′ shown in FIG. Moreover, FIG. 8 is a figure which shows an example of the forgery prevention sheet | seat in which the thread | sled 201 shown in FIG. 7 was integrated, (a) is the figure seen from the surface, (b) is A- shown in (a). It is A 'sectional drawing.

  In this example, as shown in FIG. 7, the IC chip 210 enters the through hole 231 formed in the paper layer 230 with respect to the belt-shaped resin layer 220 and the paper layer 230 bonded to each other via the adhesive 240. The IC chip 210 is mounted on the resin layer 220 and is adhered to the resin layer 220 and the paper layer 230 while being covered with the adhesive 240. In addition, as a material of the resin layer 220, PET, PET-G, PVC, etc. can be considered. Further, the IC chip 210 can read information in a non-contact state, and the information written in the IC chip 210 can be read by bringing it close to an information writing / reading device provided outside. Read out.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the thread 201 configured in this manner is sandwiched between a label base material 206 formed by applying an adhesive 205 on one surface of a paper base material 204 and a paper base material 203, and the label base The anti-counterfeit sheet 202 in which the thread 201 is incorporated is configured to be fixed between the label base material 206 and the paper base material 203 by the adhesive 205 of the material 206.

In the anti-counterfeit sheet 202 configured as described above, when the information written in the IC chip 210 is brought close to a readable reader / writer, the information written in the IC chip 210 is read out and read out. Based on the information, the authenticity determination of the forgery prevention sheet 202 is performed.

  However, like the one described in Patent Document 1, when the thread is embedded in the recess formed in the sheet base material or the like, the flexible material is embedded in the flexible material, and distortion or warpage occurs. There is a problem that the pasting work becomes very difficult.

  Further, when the anti-counterfeit sheet is configured by sandwiching the thread 201 as shown in FIG. 7 between the label base material 206 and the paper base material 203 as shown in FIG. Although the thread 201 is fixed to the label base material 206 and the label base material 206 and the paper base material 203 are bonded, the thread 201 and the paper base material 203 are not bonded. When the sheet is bent or the like, there is a problem that a region of the paper base material 203 where the thread 201 is sandwiched is lifted.

  Moreover, when it is set as the form which only affixes on a sheet | seat base material, the thickness of the whole sheet | seat base material will not become uniform, but it will become difficult to protect an IC chip from the pressure from a vertical direction. There is.

  The present invention has been made in view of the problems of the conventional techniques as described above, and can be bonded without forming a recess or the like on the label base material and the sheet base material sandwiching the thread. And it aims at providing the thread | thread which can maintain the intensity | strength of a base material while aiming at uniform thickness, protecting an IC chip from the pressure from a vertical direction.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides:
An IC chip capable of reading information in a non-contact state is formed on the second base substrate by bonding the band-shaped first base substrate and the second base substrate via an adhesive.

The first base substrate has at least one second through hole in a region that does not face the first through hole.

Also, an IC chip-containing sheet incorporating the thread,
An adhesive is applied to one surface, and a label substrate on which the thread is mounted with the second base substrate side as a mounted surface on the surface to which the adhesive is applied,
It is also conceivable to have a sheet base material that is laminated by sandwiching the thread on the label base material on which the thread is mounted, and that is adhered to the label base material with the adhesive.

  In the present invention configured as described above, when the second base base material is laminated on the first base base material and bonded to each other, the first base base material and the second base base material are combined. The pressure-sensitive adhesive for adhesion is exposed through the second through hole formed in the first base substrate. Therefore, when the thread is sandwiched between the label base material having the adhesive applied on one side and the sheet base material so that the second base base material is on the label base material side, the second base The base material side is fixed by the adhesive of the label base material, and the first base base material side is fixed by the adhesive exposed through the second through hole.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the region that does not face the first through hole of the first base substrate to which the second base substrate having the first through hole into which the IC chip enters is bonded. At least one second through-hole is formed in the first base substrate and the second base when the second base substrate is laminated on the first base substrate and bonded to each other. The pressure-sensitive adhesive for adhering to the base material is exposed through the second through hole formed in the first base base material, so that the second base base material is on the label base material side. Is sandwiched between the label base material and the sheet base material, the second base base material side is adhered to the label base material by the adhesive of the label base material, and the first base base material side is the second penetration Adhesive exposed through the holes is adhered to the sheet substrate and Thereby enabling bonding in each of the substrate. At that time, it is possible to make the thickness uniform while protecting the IC chip from the pressure from the vertical direction and to maintain the strength of the substrate.
