Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention is applicable to photo booklets used in passports, 9m passbooks, etc., and photo cards used in photo cards such as identification cards and driver's licenses. This invention relates to sheet bodies, particularly sheet bodies with photographs to prevent tampering.

[Conventional technology]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In a photo booklet such as a passport, a photo is attached to a page within the booklet to identify the holder. A transparent sheet is glued on top of this photo so as to cover it, and an embossed seal is placed over the photo and the transparent sheet to prevent tampering. In addition, information such as name, nationality, date of birth, gender, date of issue, and number is written in this passport.

In addition, photo cards such as identification cards and driver's licenses have photos to identify their owners, as well as bibliographic information such as name, date of birth, gender, and date of issue. is entered.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

When creating the above-mentioned passport, at least the steps of type-printing bibliographic information such as name, nationality, and gender, pasting a photo, and covering the pasted photo with a transparent sheet are required. Therefore, it takes time and effort to create the passport, and it is difficult to create the passport easily and efficiently. Therefore, there is a problem in that the passport issuance process cannot be streamlined.

Additionally, in the past, when applying for a passport, in addition to the passport photo, it was also necessary to attach a photo to the application form.
There is a problem in that multiple leaf photos must be prepared.

For photo cards, personal information is written on a display sheet with headings printed on it using a typewriter, etc., then a small photograph of the person is inserted into an opening formed at the edge of the display sheet, and then a small photograph of the person is inserted into the opening formed at the edge of the display sheet. A structure in which oversheets are stacked and bonded by thermocompression is known. However, such photo cards require a separately prepared portrait to be inserted into the aperture of the display sheet on which characters are written, making it troublesome to produce and difficult to produce efficiently.

In addition, for driver's licenses, an application form with personal information typed on is placed in a camera, and when photographing a person, this is transferred to a reverse color paper along with the person's image using a lens different from the person photographing lens. It has a structure in which reverse color paper with an image printed on it is sandwiched between two polyester sheets. However, in a driver's license that is made by sandwiching inverted color paper with a person image and character image printed on it between transparent sheets, this part bulges out due to the thickness of the inverted color paper, and the surrounding area becomes depressed. , there is a problem that handling is inconvenient.

In response to this, the present applicant has proposed, in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 62-58249, etc., a display sheet in which a person image and a character image such as a name are combined and printed on photographic paper, and the display sheet is inserted into a frame sheet made of plastic or the like. , proposes a photo card that is reinforced with a core sheet and then sandwiched with a transparent oversheet. According to this, it becomes possible to easily create a card that is strong and has a flat surface.

However, in the case of a photo sheet that uses a display sheet printed by combining a person image and a character image, there is a problem that the number of parts and the number of man-hours for manufacturing the sheet increase because a frame sheet or the like is used. Furthermore, since a photographic processing apparatus is used to create the display sheet, development, fixing, and drying processes are required, resulting in an increase in the size of the apparatus.

Furthermore, since the development process uses chemicals during printing, it is necessary to take into account the deterioration of the chemicals, so there is a problem that it is not possible to handle small quantity processing during the off-season.

(Objective of the Invention) The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and can be easily and efficiently produced while preventing tampering, and can also be used when processing small quantities during off-season. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a sheet body with photos that can be used as a photographic sheet.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a transparent sheet,
A support sheet, an image-receiving layer layered on one side of the transparent sheet or the support sheet, a printed portion on which a pattern or a common matter is printed on the image-receiving layer, and an image-receiving layer on which this printed portion is printed. After transferring a character image such as a name or an image of a person, an adhesive layer is provided to bond a transparent sheet onto the support sheet so that the image-receiving layer is on the inside.

It is preferable that a composite image developed on a photosensitive member is transferred to the image-receiving layer by a thermal development transfer method.

The image-receiving layer is bonded to the other transparent sheet or support sheet on which the image-receiving layer is not provided by an adhesive layer applied in advance to one side of the other sheet so as to face the image-receiving layer. Further, this adhesive layer may be coated on one side of the other sheet or on the image-receiving layer after the composite image is transferred to the image-receiving layer. A sheet such as double-sided tape may also be used.

[Effect]

When creating, for example, a machine league pull bus (MRP) in which personal information can be mechanically read using the photographic sheet of the present invention, first, a character image such as a name and a person's image are synthesized. The image is transferred to an image-receiving layer having a printed area on which a pattern or a common feature is partially printed in advance, and then the other transparent sheet or support sheet on which the image-receiving layer is not provided is bonded to this image-receiving layer. . Therefore, it is possible to form a sheet body in which a composite image transfer layer is interposed between the support sheet and the transparent sheet. This eliminates the manual labor of pasting portrait photographs (facial photographs) and type-printing character images such as names when creating photo-embedded sheets. It becomes possible to easily and efficiently create a sheet body.

Moreover, since the image-receiving layer is preliminarily formed with a printed portion in which patterns, common items, etc. are partially printed, the composite image is not transferred and recorded on the portion where the printed portion is formed.

Therefore, a printed portion such as a pattern is partially formed so as to overlap the composite image transfer layer, thereby making it difficult to tamper with the photographic sheet. That is, if an attempt is made to separate the transparent sheet and the support sheet for tampering, the composite image transfer recording layer interposed between them will be destroyed. At the same time, the printed portions of patterns, common items, etc. are also destroyed, so even if a new transfer recording layer is to be formed, the printed portions cannot be easily reproduced, making tampering difficult.

Since the composite image such as the character image and the person image is transferred to the image receiving layer by a transfer method, dry processing can be performed without using photographic processing chemicals.

Therefore, compared to those that use chemicals for development, the developing equipment can be simplified, and since it is a dry process and there is no deterioration of chemicals, it can be used even when processing small quantities during the off-season. You will be able to do this.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

In this example, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a photographic sheet according to the present invention is applied to an MRP. That is, this embodiment has a printing section 8 on which a pattern 8a is partially printed in advance, and a character image 1a such as a name, a person image 1b, a graphic image IC1 provided as necessary, and an optical A transparent sheet 2 having on one side an image receiving layer 1 in which readable OCR character images 1d are synthesized and thermally transferred, and a support sheet disposed on the side of the transparent sheet 2 opposite to the image receiving layer 1. 3 and
The booklet 5 is provided in a layered manner on the surface of the two transparent sheets of the support sheet 3 and includes an adhesive layer 4 that adheres the support sheet 3 and the transparent sheet 2 together.

The transparent sheet 2 and support sheet 3 are these sheets 2
, 3 are bound into the booklet 5 at a position where they are overlapped.

In addition to the sheets 2.3, this booklet 5 also includes a bookkeeping sheet 7 on which immigration stamps, pizza stamps, etc. are stamped.

As will be described later, a composite image such as a character image la, a person image 1b, a graphic image 1c, and an OCR character image 1d is transferred to the image receiving layer 1, and the image receiving layer 1 to which this composite image is transferred and this image receiving layer As shown in FIG. 2, the transparent sheet 2 on which the layer 1 is layered is joined to the support sheet 3 via the adhesive 1!4, so that the transparent sheet 2.
Image-receiving layer 1° printing section 8. Adhesive layer 4. A sheet body in which the support sheet 3 and the support sheet 3 are integrated in a layered manner is configured as a front cover in the booklet 5.

The support sheet 3, as shown in FIG. 3(A),
It is considered to be the front cover of booklet 5, for example, 100 to 800μ
It is composed of sheets of paper, plastic, etc., or composite supports made by laminating these paper and plastic materials together or laminating one or both sides of paper with plastic. Plastics include polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polycarbonate,
Acetylcellulose, cellulose ester, polyvinyl acetal, polystyrene, polypropylene.

Examples include, but are not limited to, polyvinyl chloride, nylon, polyethylene, and the like.

Also, some of these plastics contain white pigments, such as
A material in which T i Oz or Zlo is dispersed may be used, and a material containing other coloring pigments or dyes may also be used.

The transparent sheet 2, as shown in FIG. 3(A),
So that it is the next page position of the support sheet 3 which is the front cover.
It is bound in the booklet 5.

The transparent sheet 2 is a transparent plastic sheet having a thickness of 50 to 350 μm, and is formed to be approximately the same size as the support sheet 3 or slightly smaller. This transparent sheet 2 is constructed by appropriately selecting from the various materials listed as the plastics constituting the support sheet 3.

As shown in FIG. 2, the image receiving layer 1 is provided on the support sheet 3 side surface of the transparent sheet 2 to a thickness of about 10 μm. On this image-receiving layer 1, a character image 1a such as a name, a person image 1b, a graphic image 1c provided as necessary, and an optically readable OCR character image 1d are transferred and recorded.

The images 1a to 1d are printed on the image receiving layer 1 by first printing the images 1a to 1d on a computer as described later.
After compositing (laying out) the image in consideration of the arrangement of 1d, this composite image is displayed on a printing CRT, and a photosensitive member is exposed to light using, for example, a three-color plane sequential exposure method, and then the exposed photosensitive member is thermally developed and This is done by transferring it to the image-receiving layer l.

The image-receiving layer 1 is made of a material capable of blocking the dye released by a heating phenomenon from the heat-developable photosensitive material of the photosensitive member, and includes, for example, a dye fixing agent such as a dye mordant reservoir. This dye fixing agent depends on the physical properties of the dye to be released, components other than dyes contained in the heat-developable photosensitive material,
A useful mordant can be selected depending on the transfer conditions and the like; for example, a high molecular weight polymer mordant is used. The heat-developable photosensitive material used in this example uses a method in which a mobile dye is released image-wise by heat development, and the mobile dye is transferred to a dye-fixing element having a mordant using a solvent such as water. A method in which the dye is transferred to the dye fixing element using a boiling point organic solvent, a method in which the dye is transferred to the dye fixing element using a hydrophilic heat solvent built into the dye fixing element, a method in which the mobile dye is heat diffusible or sublimable, and the dye is attached to a support, etc. It is a transfer-type heat-developable color photosensitive material, such as one that transfers to a receiving element. Such heat-developable color photosensitive materials are described in detail in U.S. Pat.
No. 9, No. 59-218443, No. 61-238056
and European Patent (EP) No. 220.746A2. In these heat-developable photosensitive materials, base precursors described in JP-A No. 60-269147 and European Patent No. 210.66 are used.
It is advantageous to incorporate a base generating means into the image forming reaction system, such as the method of generating a base using a complex formation reaction described in OA2.

The printing portion 8 is composed of a pattern 8a consisting of a plurality of wavy lines, and is partially printed on the portion of the image receiving layer 1 where the human image 1b is formed after the image receiving layer 1 is layered on the transparent sheet 2. It is something that The ink used in this printing section 8 is selected and used so that it does not damage the images transferred to the image-receiving layer 1. When configured as a sheet, this printed portion 8 will be located on the back side of the image-receiving layer 1 when viewed from the outside, but since the image-receiving layer 1 is a thin layer of about 10 μm, this image-receiving layer 1 The printing section 8 can be seen from the outside through. Note that in addition to the pattern 8a, the printing section 8 can include character images of common items such as items.

The adhesive layer 4 is provided on the back side of the support sheet 3, that is, the surface on the side of the transparent sheet 2, and is bonded so that the image-receiving layer 1 of the transparent sheet 2 and the back side of the support sheet 3 are in close contact. It is. This adhesive N4 is selected from an adhesive that does not damage the images 1a to 1d thermally transferred to the image-receiving layer 1 and that generates few air bubbles between these sheets 2.3 when they are in close contact.
For example, it is formed to a thickness of 1 to 20011 m. Note that the adhesive layer 4 is the transparent sheet 3 of the support sheet 3.
Although the adhesive layer 4 is described as being layered on the side surface, the adhesive layer 4 is not limited to this, and the adhesive layer may be coated thereon after the image is transferred to the image receiving layer 1. Further, another adhesive sheet can be used, and furthermore, an adhesive sheet coated on release paper can also be used.

A release paper 6 is pasted on the adhesive layer 4. This release paper 6 is formed slightly larger than the support sheet 3 so that the peripheral edge thereof protrudes from the peripheral edge of the support sheet 3 so that the peripheral edge can be easily pinched when peeling off the release paper 6. Note that since the release paper 6 is formed larger than the support sheet 3, if the periphery of the release paper 6 protrudes from the booklet 5 and causes inconvenience in handling, the release paper 6 is formed to be larger than the adhesive layer. The same or smaller size than the support sheet 3 (formed) within a range not smaller than 4.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a D/A converter that converts the digital signal of the synthesized screen data obtained by the synthesis/decimation circuit 35 into an analog signal.

As shown in FIG. 4, the video printing step 120 includes a composite image exposure step 121 in which the composite image created in the image composite step 110 is exposed on the photosensitive paper 40, and a composite image on the exposed photosensitive paper 40. The process includes a thermal development transfer step 122 in which the composite image is thermally developed and transferred to the image-receiving layer 1. Specifically, this video printing step 120 is performed by a heat development type video printer 15, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the video printer 15 includes a photosensitive paper roll cassette 41 in which heat-developable photosensitive paper 40 is housed in a coil shape, and a photosensitive paper roll cassette 41 in which photosensitive paper 40 is pulled out from the cassette 41. A printing CRT 29 that exposes a composite image on the emulsion surface, a looper device 42 that stores the exposed photosensitive paper 40 in a loop shape to smoothly perform the next process, and is installed downstream of this looper device 42. a water coating device 43 that uniformly coats water as a diffusion aid on the emulsion surface of the photosensitive paper 40 in order to facilitate the next step of thermal transfer;
A cutter 44 is installed downstream of this water coating device 43 and cuts the exposed photosensitive paper 40 frame by frame, and the booklet 5 before thermal transfer processing is opened and stacked with the image receiving layer 1 facing upward. A storage case 45 for unprocessed booklets 5 stored in the storage case 5, the image receiving layer 1 of the unprocessed booklets 5 taken out one by one from the storage case 5, and photosensitive paper 40 exposed and cut into frames.
After matching the overlapping positions, a pair of squeezing rollers 46 are used to extract air, etc. from between the photosensitive paper 40 and the image-receiving layer 1 of the booklet 5. A thermal development transfer section 47 holds the image-receiving layer l and the photosensitive paper 40 from above and below, heats them, and thermally develops and transfers them, and the thermally-transferred booklet 5 is sequentially stacked and stored. It includes a booklet storage case 48 and a waste photosensitive paper receiver 49 that collects and stores waste photosensitive paper 40a after thermal transfer.

The printing CRT 29 is configured to form a composite image inverted to a negative image on a photosensitive JIE 40 and expose the photosensitive paper 40 during printing based on the output signal from the image composition device 14. Specifically, the printing CRT 29 sequentially displays a black and white image in which a blue composite image is displayed in brightness, a black and white image corresponding to a green composite image, and a black and white image corresponding to a red composite image. , the shutter 51 is driven by the shutter drive device 50.
While the camera is open, the photosensitive paper 40 is exposed to light through the lens 52. This three-color surface sequential exposure is performed by selectively inserting a blue filter 53, a green filter 54, and a red filter 55 using a filter switching device 56, and
This is done by converting the black and white image displayed on the screen into a monochromatic image of blue, green, and red.

Note that instead of exposing the photosensitive paper 40 using the CRT 29 for printing, for example, an LED, liquid crystal, laser, FOT, or the like may be used for exposure.

When exposing the photosensitive paper 40, the photosensitive paper 40 is intermittently conveyed frame by frame by a frame feeder (not shown). In this way, the photosensitive paper 4 was transferred frame by frame and exposed sequentially.
After passing through the loop device 42, the water coating device 43 uniformly and thinly coats the light-sensitive emulsion coating side of the photosensitive material 0 with water. This water acts as a diffusion aid in the next thermal development transfer step.

In the case of the meltable diffusion aid method, urea, water of crystallization, microcapsules, etc., which become water-like when heated, are applied as diffusion aids in advance during the production of the image-receiving layer 1. It is no longer necessary to grant it.

After this water application, the photosensitive paper 40 is cut into one frame by the cutter 44, and then transported to a predetermined position by a transport device (not shown), and at this position, the unprocessed booklet is also transported from the cassette 45. The image receiving layer 1 of No. 5 is overlapped to match the image receiving layer 1 of No. 5. Thereafter, a pair of squeezing rollers 46 uniformly spreads the water applied in the previous step onto the photosensitive emulsion surface.

Next, the unprocessed booklet 5 in which one frame of photosensitive paper 40 is superimposed on the image-receiving layer 1 is heated by a thermal development transfer section 47 consisting of an upper heat plate and a lower heat plate.
The dye in the photosensitive emulsion of the photosensitive paper 40 is thermally transferred to the image receiving image N1 of the booklet 5. Note that this heat development transfer step requires a longer processing time than other steps, so it is desirable to configure the heat development transfer section 47 with a plurality of stages to perform parallel processing. By providing a plurality of stages in this manner, the processing capacity of the video printer can be improved. After the thermal development transfer, the waste photosensitive paper 40a after the thermal transfer is placed in the photosensitive paper receiver 49.
Inside, the booklet 5 after thermal transfer is stored in a booklet storage case 48 after processing.
They are each accumulated within.

In the post-processing step 130, as shown in FIG. 4, a transparent sheet 2 having an image-receiving layer 1 to which a composite image has been thermally transferred is stacked on a support sheet 3 as shown in FIG. 3(C).
A lamination step 131 is performed to integrate these into a sheet, and a final check is made to see if the person image 1b and character image 1a of the booklet 5 thus created match, and if there are any errors in the character image 1a. Inspection step 132 to conduct a thorough inspection, and issuance step 13 to issue a passport to the applicant after the inspection.
It consists of 3.

In the laminating step 131, a normal adhesive that can be bonded at room temperature is used, but a thermal adhesive type adhesive (hot melt) may be used instead. In this case, the release paper 6 attached to the surface of the adhesive layer 40 can of course be omitted. Note that an embossing process may be added after the laminating process 131 in order to emboss a certification mark or the like.

Further, in the inspection step 132, it is inspected whether or not the person image 1b and the character image 1a match, but as described above, in the image synthesis step 110, Since the character image 1a and the person image 1b are automatically matched and synthesized, it is possible to omit checking whether or not the above-mentioned images match.

In this embodiment, when creating the photo booklet 5,
Since the image synthesis process 110 and the video printer process 120 are automated through the use of the image synthesis device 14 and the video printer 15, respectively, most of the work of creating passports etc. can be machine-processed, thereby streamlining the creation work. be able to.

In particular, in this embodiment, since the OCR character image 1d is synthesized into the composite image, it is possible to easily adapt to the adoption of the MRP.

Note that in the above embodiment, the composite image is character image 1

In the above embodiment, the image receiving layer 1 is layered on the transparent sheet 2 bound to the booklet 5, and the adhesive layer 4 is layered on the support sheet 3 bound to the booklet 5 so as to face the transparent sheet 2. However, the present invention is not limited thereto; for example, as in the second embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG.
The image receiving layer 1 is layered on the support sheet 3 bound to the booklet 5, and the adhesive Jii4 is made of a transparent adhesive, and the transparent sheet 2 bound to the booklet 5 faces the support sheet 3.
In this case as well, on the image-receiving layer 1, a printed portion 8 consisting of a pattern 8a is partially printed on the human image forming area, and this pattern 8a prevents tampering. It is made difficult.

When forming the image-receiving fill on the support sheet 3 side in this way, the image recorded on the photosensitive paper is transferred and recorded on the image-receiving layer 1 as a reverse image with left and right sides reversed.
The image transferred and recorded on the photosensitive paper 40 is, of course, a back image. This back image is, for example, C for printing.
It can be formed by electronically inverting the composite image displayed on the RT 29 to become a back image. In addition, when forming a composite image optically, each image such as the face photograph 11a of the application form 11 and the character image 1a of the printing mount 65 may be inverted using a mirror or the like so that it becomes a back image, or the printed By printing the character image 1a and the like on the mount 11 as a back image, the back image can be transferred and recorded on the image receiving layer 1.

In addition, in the above embodiment, an example was shown in which the present invention was implemented in MRP, but the present invention is not limited to this, but
It can also be applied to photo cards such as identification cards, driver's licenses, credit cards, bank cards, etc.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, an image-receiving layer is provided on one side of either the transparent sheet or the support sheet, and patterns, common items, etc. are partially printed on the image-receiving layer, and the printing portion A character image such as a name and a person image are synthesized and transferred onto the image-receiving layer on which the printed portion is partially formed, and the image-receiving layer is formed on the image-receiving layer to which this composite image is transferred. By bonding it to one side of the transparent sheet or support sheet on the side that is not covered, it is possible to form a sheet body in which a composite image transfer layer of the printed portion 9 such as a pattern is interposed between the transparent sheet and the support sheet. This eliminates the traditional manual labor of pasting portrait photographs (face photographs) and type-printing character images such as names, and allows the device to easily and efficiently create sheets with photographs. Can be done.

Further, since a printed portion in which patterns, common items, etc. are partially printed is formed on the image-receiving layer in advance, a composite image is not transferred and recorded on the line drawing portion of this printed portion. Therefore,
Printed portions such as patterns are partially formed on the composite image transfer layer, thereby making it difficult to tamper with the photographic sheet. Furthermore, by including OCR character images in the composite image, it is possible to easily support the introduction of management systems such as MRP, office attendance, room entry and exit, etc.

In addition, by transferring a composite image developed on a photosensitive member to the image receiving layer using a heat development transfer method, dry processing can be performed without using photographic processing chemicals.
Compared to developing using chemicals, the developing device can be simplified, and since it is a dry process and there is no deterioration of chemicals, it can be used even when processing small quantities during off-season.

By bonding the other transparent sheet or support sheet, which is not layered to the image-receiving layer, with an adhesive layer applied in advance to one side of the other sheet so as to face the image-receiving layer, it is possible to create a photo-embedded sheet. There is no need to apply an adhesive layer when creating a sheet body, making it easier to create.
