Definitions

  • Credit or security document comprising an anti-forgery device, and a carrier strip with transferable pattern for producing such a document
  • the invention concerns credit or security documents and more particularly documents comprising an anti-forgery device.
  • the documents in question are all fiduciary or credit documents or value documents which, by virtue of their nature or the rights which they can impart, have to be protected frcm forgeries, falsification or reproduction. That is the case for example with title documents, certificates, cheques and traveller's cheques, stamps, credit cards, bonds, vouchers, tickets or security documents such as identity cards, passports ... , that list not being limitative.
  • a metallised wire which is totally or alternatively integrated into the paper of a document may be used, which wire may be encoded by virtue of discontinuous coating of a wire of non-ferromagnetic material with a ferromagnetic material (see for example British patents Nos 1 095 286 and 1 127 043). That procedure has long been in use but it is always invariably associated with authentication of the document by means of a detector which is especially adapted to the wire in question, and does not permit photocopying of the document to be effectively resisted: the image of the wire remains extremely thin and not only draws little attention by virtue of examination with the naked eye but it gives an extremely small reflecting surface wtiich causes little disturbance in reproduction of the document.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a credit or security document whose anti-forgery device has a higher level of performance than the above-mentioned systems, both in regard to examination with the naked eye and in regard to modern reproduction and duplicating procedures.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a document which gives a high degree of protection frcm reproduction thereof without involving embossing and/or hologram methods.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a document in which the anti-forgery device is capable of being set in place both continuously on a strip of paper which passes along continuously and on documents in the form of sheets which have already been cut up, although operation on a reel is generally preferred when possible.
  • Still another object of the invention is to provide a document in which the anti-forgery device adheres perfectly to said document and is capable of withstanding wear and/or a chemical attack by the solvents which are usually employed in the field of printing.
  • the invention more particularly concerns a credit or security document comprising an anti-forgery device characterised in that the anti-forgery device is in the form of a discontinuous reflecting surface formed by a succession of individual reflecting elements applied by transfer to a face of the document and organised in a general direction of orientation which is predetermined with respect to the edges of said document, each individual reflecting element having both a dimension which is appreciated transversely to said general direction of several millimetres and optimum compactness for a given reflection area, in such a way that the reflection phenomenon is clearly apparent to the naked eye and blinds the known optical analysis or reproduction systems.
  • application of the individual reflecting elements by direct transfer on to a face of the document is continuous, so that the intermediate spaces between adjacent individual elements comprise a non-reflecting but nonetheless visible covering originating from an initial carrier strip which has the discontinuous pattern to be transferred.
  • application of the individual reflecting elements by direct transfer on to a face of the document is continuous, the intermediate spaces between adjacent individual elements being produced by printing with a white ink of a discontinuous pattern on a continuous reflecting band, after transfer of said continuous reflecting band frcm an initial carrier strip.
  • the intermediate spaces are produced by partial dissolution of a continuous reflecting band after transfer thereof frcm an initial carrier strip.
  • direct transfer results from the initial carrier strip and a strip of paper being passed between a pressure cylinder and a heating backing cylinder; as an alternative, direct transfer results frcm the initial carrier strip and a strip of paper being passed between a pressure cylinder with a continuous pressure track and a heating backing cylinder.
  • the discontinuous character of the pattern results frcm the initial carrier strip being struck with a die for discontinuous application, on to a sheet of paper.
  • the non- reflecting but visible elements referred to above do not appear.
  • each individual element is covered with a protective varnish or lacquer which has a high level of resistance to abrasion and solvents.
  • each individual element forms a mirror capable of reflecting all visible wavelengths.
  • the individual reflecting elements are formed by a fine metal layer and preferably a fine layer of aluminium; in particular the mirror formed by some at least of the individual reflecting elements is complete or flat without being disturbed by geometrical elements at least partially covering said mirror.
  • the individual reflecting elements of the reflecting surface have a contour of quadrilatural shape.
  • the contour is in the shape of a rectangle of which an edge is parallel to the general direction of orientation of the individual reflecting elements.
  • the contour is in the form of aparallelogram of which an edge is parallel to the general direction of orientation of the individual reflecting elements and preferably then the other edge of the parallelogram is inclined at a given angle with respect to said general direction of orientation, said angle preferably being close to 45°.
  • the width of the contour, as considered in a direction which is orthogonal to said general direction of orientation is at least equal to three millimetres and the length of the contour, as considered in a direction which is parallel to said general direction of orientation, is preferably between four and ten millimetres.
  • the general direction of orientation of the individual reflecting elements is parallel to the short side of said document.
  • the document on its two faces to comprise an anti-forgery device which is in the form of a discontinuous reflecting surface, said two devices preferably being formed by identical individual reflecting elements.
  • the invention also concerns a carrier strip ccmprising a tranferable reflecting pattern for providing a fiduciary or credit document or security document ccmprising one at least of the above- mentioned features, said carrier strip being characterised in that it is of a multi-layer structure with in succession an upper layer of plastic material serving as a carrier, a layer of wax or glue which melts in the hot condition, a very fine metal layer constituting the reflecting pattern to be transferred, and finally a layer of hot- melting glue for affording adhesion of said metal layer to a face of a document of paper.
  • a layer of varnish or lacquer is also provided between the layer of hot-melting glue or wax and the fine metal layer, said layer of varnish providing protection for the transferred reflecting pattern, in particular in relation to abrasion and solvents.
  • another layer of varnish is further provided between the fine metal layer and the adhesion glue layer, said varnish layer providing protection for the reflecting pattern to prevent penetration of the metal particles into the paper of the document upon transfer of the reflecting pattern.
  • Figure 1 is a plan view of a document ccmprising an anti-forgery device according to the invention
  • Figure 2 is a view on a larger scale of two individual, reflecting elements forming part of the above-mentioned anti-forgery device
  • Figure 3 illustrates an alternative form of Figure 2 in which the contour of the individual reflecting elements is rectangular
  • Figures 4a and 4b are two sections taken along line IV-IV in Figure 1, illustrating two alternative configurations respectively with and without a protective varnish,
  • Figures 5a and 5b are two sections illustrating the multi-layer structure of two alternative configurations of an initial carrier strip according to the invention, the carrier strip being used to provide for transfer of the anti-forgery device, respectively with and without protective varnish (those Figures are thus to be compared to Figures 4a and 4b above, showing the document after transfer of said anti-forgery device),
  • Figure 6 diagrammatically illustrates continuous transfer of the anti-forgery device by being passed between two cylinders comprising a pressure cylinder and a heating backing cylinder,
  • Figure 7 is a profile view illustrating said cylinders between which the strip of paper and the initial carrier strip carrying the anti-forgery device to be transferred continuously pass,
  • Figures 8 and 9 illustrate two alternative forms of Figure 7, with a pressure cylinder comprising a pressure track which is discontinuous and continuous respectively
  • Figure 10 is an overall view showing a machine which can be used to advantage for continuouslyeffecting transfer of the anti-forgery device on to a strip of paper which moves continuously through the machine.
  • Figure 1 shows a document D which is here in the form of a rectangular sheet 1, ccmprising an anti-forgery device 100 ' according to the invention.
  • the anti-forgery device is in the form of a discontinuous reflecting surface 100 formed by a succession of individual reflecting elements 101 organised in a general direction DG of orientation which is predetermined with respect to the edges 11 and 12 of the document.
  • each individual reflecting element 101 is applied by transfer (preferably in the hot condition) on to a face 10 of the document D.
  • each individual reflecting element 101 has both a dimension, as appreciated transversely to the general direction DG, of several millimetres, and optiumum compactness for a given reflection area vvhich is evaluated by a coefficient corresponding to the reflection area/perimeter ratio, in such a way that the reflection phenomenon is clearly apparent to the naked eye and blinds the known optical analysis or reproduction system, in particular by virtue of a high reflection capacity and relatively large reflection surfaces. Any value which is at least equal to 0.5 mm is considered satisfactory, for the above-mentioned ratio.
  • the document D here comprises a printed graphic device G and a discontinuous reflecting surface 100 whose general direction DG is parallel to the short side 11 of the document. It will be appreciated that such an arrangement is only one possible example but the orientation DG which is selected to be parallel to one of the edges of the document, in this case the short edge, is advantageous when the intention is for the document to be passed into an automatic processing machine, in which case the document then moves parallel to one of its edges.
  • Each individual element 101 can thus form a mirror which is capable of reflecting all visible wavelengths.
  • individual reflecting elements 101 will be formed by a fine metal layer and in particular a fine layer of aluminium.
  • that layer may be of the order of 0.05 urn in thickness.
  • the choice of aluminium is advantageous for its very high coefficient of reflection, but it is apparent that it would be possible to choose other metals such as for example chromium.
  • the mirror formed by some at least of the individual reflecting elements 101 is preferably complete or flat, without being disturbed by geometrical elements which at least partially cover said mirror.
  • the discontinuous surface 100 which is formed by a plurality of individual reflecting elements 101 thus permits substantial dazzling of the analysis or reproduction system, by virtue of the large dimension of each of the individual reflecting elements 101 in a direction which is transverse to the general direction DG.
  • the known procedure which involves alternatively embedding a metal band or strip in the paper did not make it possible to produce a band whose width exceeds a millimetre.
  • a transfer procedure it is possible to use a discontinuous surface whose width exceeds 3 mm and can even go up to 10 mm.
  • each individual reflecting element 101 must exhibit optimum compactness for a given reflection area. That means that the surface area of each individual reflecting element 101 is as large as possible for a given perimeter or that the diameter of the largest circle which can be inscribed in the contour of an individual reflecting element, for a given reflection area, is at a maximum.
  • FIG 2 is a view on a larger scale of two individual reflecting elements 101 v-hich are part of the above-mentioned anti-forgery device 100, each individual reflecting element 101 in this case being of a contour C in the form of a quadrilateral and more precisely here in the form of a parallelogram. Each individual reflecting element 101 is thus distributed in a discontinuous manner between two lines 105, 106 which are parallel to the general direction DG of the discontinuous surface 100.
  • each individual reflecting element 101 is parallel to the direction DG, with a dimension L which is preferably of the order of from 2 to 10 mm, while the short edge 104 is inclined at a given angle with respect to the general direction DG, that angle preferably being close to 45°.
  • the dimensions of the individual rectangular reflecting elements illustrated in Figure 3 are preferably identical to those indicated above, with a width 1 of the order of frcm 2 to 10 mm (that width corresponding to the distance between the contour lines 105, 106) and a length L of the order of from 2 to 10 mm. Those dimensions will be selected in such a way as to give a
  • Such individual reflecting elements make it possible to achieve an extremely satisfactory coefficient of mirror reflection as the effective width of each of those elements is relatively substantial, said effective width moreover being considerably greater than that which could be obtained with a strip or band which is alternatively embedded in the paper of the document.
  • Figure 1 shows the existence of a discontinuous surface 100 constituting the anti-forgery device on a face 10 of the document D, but it is apparent that it is possible to provide such an anti-forgery device on the two faces of the document, each anti-forgery device being in the form of a discontinuous reflecting surface and the two devices then preferably being formed by identical individual reflecting elements 101. That makes it possible to produce a reflection phenomenon which is clearly apparent to the naked eye and which blinds the known optical analysis or reproduction systems, irrespective of the way in which the document is faced.
  • the succession of individual reflecting elements 101 is applied by transfer, preferably in the hot condition, on to a face of the document.
  • Application by irect transfer on to a face of the document can be continuous so that the intermediate spaces 102 between adjacent individual reflecting elements 101 comprise a non-reflecting but nonetheless visible covering originating frcm an initial carrier strip having a discontinuous pattern to be transferred.
  • Figure 6 diagra ⁇ matically illustrates continuous transfer of that kind of the anti-forgery device (whose pattern is here discontinuous) by being passed between two cylinders comprising a pressure cylinder and a heating backing cylinder.
  • Figure 6 shows a reel 310 from which there is unwound a strip of paper P which passes around successive rollers 311, 312 and 313 before passing between a pressure cylinder 300 and a heating backing cylinder 301.
  • An initial carrier strip F bearing the pattern to be transferred is unwound frcm a reel 314 in order also to pass between the cylinders 300 and 301, with the two strips P and F thus being pressed against each other, with the application of a given temperature, for hot transfer of the discontinuous pattern in such a way as to produce the desired discontinuous reflecting surface 100 with its succession of individual reflecting elements 101.
  • the carrier strip F or more precisely the residual part thereof which served to carry the discontinuous pattern to be transferred is wound on to a reel 315.
  • two smooth cylinders 300 and 301 are used, as can be seen from Figure 7. That provides for a transfer with clean edges, without embossing of the paper.
  • the paper is heavily satined or glazed (its glazing has been substantially multiplied by 5) , the thickness of the paper has decreased (substantially by 10%) and the paper has lengrEiei very slightly in the direction of movement (an elongation of the order of 2 /oo is normally encountered).
  • the document D also has a watermark, which is the case in particular with bank notes, the watermark has then lost its sharpness after transfer of the discontinuous reflecting pattern.
  • the pressure cylinder 302 comprises a continuous pressure track 303 which presses the initial carrier strip F against the strip of paper P, bearing against the heating backing cylinder 301. That then retains the advantage of a transfer with clean edges and without embossing of the paper, but, by virtue of the locally applied pressure, that arrangement also provides for a lack of satining or glazing of the paper and preservation of the sharpness of the watermark when the latter is provided. It is also possible however to use an initial carrier strip F ccmprising a continuous reflecting band to be transferred on to the document.
  • the procedure adopted is continuous application of a continuous reflecting band
  • discontinuous character of the pattern results from the initial carrier strip F with a continuous reflecting band and the strip of paper P being passed between a pressure cylinder 304 with a discontinuous pressure track 305 and a heating backing cylinder 301.
  • the discontinuous character of the pattern then results from a knurling action by the discontinuous pressure track 305 on the continuous reflecting band.
  • transfer of a discontinuous band by means of a continuous pressure cylinder ( Figure 7) or by means of a cylinder with a continuous pressure track ( Figure 9) makes it possible to avoid the formation of such flakes of reflecting material.
  • the view in section shown in Figure 5a thus illustrates an initial carrier strip F which successively comprises an upper layer 200 serving as a carrier, a layer 202 of hot-melting glue or wax, a very fine metal layer 201 for example of aluminium constituting the reflecting band to be -transferred, and finally a layer 203 of hot- melting glue.
  • the layer 200 will preferably be of plastic material, being for example a layer of polyester which is frcm 10 to 15 ⁇ m in thickness, while the metal layer 201 will be of the order of a few hundredths of a micron, for example 0.05 m.
  • the wax or glue corresponding to the thickness 202 serves to provide for separation between the polyester layer 200 and the metal layer 201 in the hot transfer operation, and it will be of the order of from 2 to 5 ⁇ m in thickness.
  • the glue constituting the layer 203 serves in turn to provide for adhesion between the metal layer 201 and the paper, and its thickness will also be of the order of 5 urn. It will be advantageous to provide that the material forming the layer 202 melts at a temperature Tl which is lower than the temperature T2 at which the adhesion layer 203 melts, in order to produce separation of the metal layer 201 from the polyester layer 200 just prior to transfer of the metal layer.
  • the transfer operation will be effected using temperatures ranging from 110 to 150°C. After transfer, the document appears in section as illustrated in Figure 4a: it is thus possible to see a succession of individual reflecting elements
  • the 102 between adjacent individual elements 101 may comprise a non- reflecting but nonetheless visible covering originating from the initial carrier strip F having the discontinuous pattern to be transferred.
  • the non-reflecting covering will comprise in this case the hot-application glue 203' but also possibly a protective varnish or lacquer, as will be described in the alternative configuration hereinafter.
  • Figure 5b illustrates a carrier strip F having a multi-layer structure which is more complex than that described above, insofar as it has two protective varnish layers.
  • This structure again comprises the upper polyester layer 200 serving as a carrier and the layers 202 and 203 of hot-melting glue with, for the latter, a choice of material such that adhesion to the paper is stronger than adhesion to the polyester carrier.
  • the metallised zone corresponding to the layer 201 is here sandwiched between two layers of varnish 204 and 205, the thickness of which is of the order of from 1 to 5 im.
  • the upper layer of varnish 204 makes it possible to provide for protection of the transferred individual reflecting elements 101, having a high level of resistance to abrasion and solvents.
  • the lower layer of varnish 205 also protects the metallised zone corresponding to the layer 201, by preventing the metal particles from penetrating into the paper in the transfer operation.
  • Figure 4b shows a protective film produced from the layers of varnish 204 and 205, the upper layer corresponding to the layer for protecting the whole of the discontinuous reflecting surface.
  • the intermediate spaces 102 comprise a non-reflecting covering vhich is perfectly visible to the naked eye and which comprises protective varnish and traces of the hot-application glue. It should however be noted that the thicknesses of varnish have decreased in the transfer operation, by virtue of the pressure and temperature involved.
  • the spacing 102 between adjacent individual elements will be of the order of a fraction of the length of the contour of those elements, as considered in a direction parallel to the general direction of orientation DG.
  • a rectangular document such as a banknote which is of the order of 80 mm in width, it will be possible to arrange at least five individual reflecting elements to constitute the dicontinuous reflecting surface forming the anti-forgery device.
  • the transfer machine 400 comprises a frame structure 406 carrying a reel 401 of paper, frcm which a strip of paper P is unwound.
  • the strip of paper P firstly passes through a successive of rollers forming part of an assembly 402 for regulating the tension in the strip, then to the location of an assembly 403 which provides lateral guidance for correctly positioning the strip of paper P before proceeding for transfer of the anti-forgery device.
  • the machine also has at least one film reel 430 on which is wound the initial carrier strip F carrying the anti-forgery device to be transferred.

  • the strip of paper P carrying the anti-forgery device 100 then passes through a lateral guidance assembly 420 in order here to arrive at a severing station at which it is possible for a plurality of adjacent parallel strips, for example four strips, each ccmprising a reflecting band (which may be continuous or discontinuous) to be cut up longitudinally: the severing station which, as will be appreciated, is in no way obligatory, is formed by a support roller 422 and cutting wheels 421.
