Description

Dispositif de sécurité pour pli ou colis. Security device for folds or packages.
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de sécurité pour pli ou colis.The present invention relates to a security device for folds or packages.
Pour assurer l'inviolabilité de plis, on connaît déjà différents dispositifs qui visent à empêcher l'ouverture d'une enveloppe, notamment en révélant si cette enveloppe a été ouverte par une personne non autorisée.To ensure the inviolability of folds, various devices are already known which aim to prevent the opening of an envelope, in particular by revealing whether this envelope has been opened by an unauthorized person.
Néanmoins, au-delà de ce souci de conserver secrètes les informations contenues dans le pli, le problème se pose également de garantir l'authenticité des documents transmis.However, beyond this concern to keep the information contained in the fold secret, the problem also arises of guaranteeing the authenticity of the documents transmitted.
En effet, à supposer qu'une personne mal intentionnée parvienne a ouvrir un pli, bien que celui-ci soit protégé contre une ouverture non autorisée, rien n'empêche alors cette personne de prélever un document dans le pli ou de lui substituer un autre document falsifié.In fact, supposing that a malicious person succeeds in opening a fold, although it is protected against an unauthorized opening, nothing prevents this person from taking a document from the fold or substituting another falsified document.
Le destinataire du pli, s'il ne détecte pas l'ouverture indiscrète opérée pendant le transport, risque de ne pas réaliser que les documents qu'il reçoit sont incomplets ou partiellement falsifiés.The recipient of the envelope, if he does not detect the indiscreet opening made during transport, risks not realizing that the documents he receives are incomplete or partially falsified.
Le dispositif selon l'invention vise à fournir un moyen simple et économique pour garantir non seulement l'inviolabilité d'un pli ou d'un colis mais également son authenticité.The device according to the invention aims to provide a simple and economical means to guarantee not only the inviolability of a fold or a package but also its authenticity.
La présente invention s'applique non seulement à un pli ou un colis, mais également à tout contenant et aux objets qu'il contient dont on désire garantir l'authenticité et l'inviolabilité.The present invention applies not only to a fold or a package, but also to any container and to the objects it contains whose authenticity and inviolability are to be guaranteed.
La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de sécurité pour garantir l'authenticité et l'inviolabilité d'un contenant et des objets qu'il contient, caractérisé par le fait qu'il comprend un jeu d'étiquettes collantes revêtues sur leur face de collage d'une colle forte empêchant leur décollement d'un objet sans déchirure au moins partielle de la surface de cet objet ou de l'étiquette et portant, sur leur face visible, une inscription d'identification propre au jeu d'étiquettes et identique pour toutes les étiquettes d'un même jeu ainsi qu'une inscription d'authenticité, invisible à l'oeil nu et révélable par un traitement particulier, l'une des étiquettes étant destinée à être collée sur le contenant, les autres étiquettes étant destinées à être collées chacune sur un des objets contenus dans le contenant.The present invention relates to a security device to guarantee the authenticity and the inviolability of a container and of the objects it contains, characterized in that it comprises a set of sticky labels coated on their face with bonding of a strong glue preventing their detachment from an object without at least partial tearing of the surface of this object or of the label and bearing, on their visible face, an identification inscription specific to the set of labels and identical for all the labels of the same set as well as an authenticity inscription, invisible to the naked eye and revealable by a particular treatment, one of the labels being intended to be stuck on the container, the other labels being intended to be glued each on one of the objects contained in the container.
On comprend que le dispositif selon l'invention permet de résoudre le problème de l'authenticité du contenant et des objets qu'il contient.It is understood that the device according to the invention makes it possible to solve the problem of the authenticity of the container and of the objects it contains.
En effet, le jeu d'étiquettes du dispositif selon l'invention permet de marquer chaque objet avec un numéro d'identification unique qui est propre au contenant. Ainsi, il est impossible de substituer un objet falsifié à l'un des objets du contenant car alors le nouvel objet ne serait pas muni d'une étiquette portant le numéro propre au contenant.Indeed, the set of labels of the device according to the invention makes it possible to mark each object with a unique identification number which is specific to the container. Thus, it is impossible to substitute a forged object is an object containing the new object because then it would not be provided with a label bearing the number unique to the container.
De plus, si l'expéditeur du contenant fait savoir au destinataire qu'il lui envoie le contenant en lui indiquant le numéro du jeu d'étiquettes ainsi que le nombre d'objets contenus dans le contenant, le destinataire peut, a réception du contenant, après avoir constate que celui-ci n'a pas été ouvert, vérifier que son contenu est authentique et intégral.Moreover, if the sender of the container informs the recipient that sends the container indicating the set number of labels e and the number of objects in the container, the recipient may at reception container, after noting that it has not been opened, check that its content is authentic and complete.
Le nombre d'objets du contenant peut d'ailleurs être indiqué sur l'un d'eux, à condition que cette indication soit infalsiflable.The number of objects in the container can also be indicated on one of them, provided that this indication is tamper-proof.
Pour garantir que deux jeux d'étiquettes selon l'invention ne portent pas la même inscription d'identification, il est préférable que celles-ci soient fabriquées par un nombre limité d'imprimeurs, qui affectent chacun des numéros pris dans des plages réservées. L'inscription d'authenticité invisible permet de garantir l'origine des étiquettes afin d'empêcher que ces dernières soient substituées conjointement à certains objets du contenant.To ensure that two sets of labels according to the invention do not bear the same identification inscription, it is preferable that these are manufactured by a limited number of printers, which each assign numbers taken from reserved areas. The invisible authenticity inscription makes it possible to guarantee the origin of the labels in order to prevent them being substituted jointly with certain objects of the container.
Leur caractère invisible a principalement pour objet d'en empêcher la contrefaçon. Pour réaliser des inscriptions invisibles, on peut utiliser par exemple une substance invisible révélable par grattage comme celle commercialisée sous les marques RUB and REVEAL par la Société NOCOPI, ou révélable par activateur chimique comme celle commercialisée sous la marque COPIMARK par la même société. A cet effet, on peut également utiliser une substance fluorescente visible à l'oeil nu sous une lumière ultraviolets.Their invisible character is mainly intended to prevent counterfeiting. To make invisible inscriptions, one can use, for example, an invisible substance which can be revealed by scraping, such as that sold under the brands RUB and REVEAL by the company NOCOPI, or which can be revealed by chemical activator, such as that sold under the brand name COPIMARK by the same company. For this purpose, it is also possible to use a fluorescent substance visible to the naked eye under ultraviolet light.
Une combinaison non limitative des trois substances décrites ci-dessus, associées à un mode de lecture approprié, peut également être mise en oeuvre selon l'invention. De préférence, l'étiquette destinée à être collée sur le contenant comporte une caractéristique unique, donnée par un marquage particulier ou par un dimensionnement particulier, qui la distingue des autres étiquettes d'un même jeu, de manière à ce qu'une seule étiquette puisse être collée sur le contenant. Ainsi, le contenant ne peut être remplace par une personne qui l'aurait détérioré pour accéder à son contenu.A non-limiting combination of the three substances described above, associated with an appropriate reading mode, can also be used according to the invention. Preferably, the label intended to be stuck on the container comprises a unique characteristic, given by a particular marking or by a particular dimensioning, which distinguishes it from the other labels of the same set, so that a single label can be stuck on the container. Thus, the container cannot be replaced by a person who has damaged it to access its content.
Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, adapte a la protection de plis, le dispositif comprend en outre une enveloppe a rabat portant une fenêtre découpée dans ledit rabat de manière à laisser visible une partie du bord de l'enveloppe en dessous du rabat lorsque l'enveloppe est fermée, l'étiquette destinée à être collée sur le contenant étant plus précisément destinée à être collée sur le bord de l'enveloppe, en dessous du rabat, de manière que ses inscriptions apparaissent dans la fenêtre du rabat lorsque l'enveloppe est fermée. Conformément à une variante particulière de ce mode de réalisation de l'invention, le bord de l'enveloppe est echancre en regard de la fenêtre du rabat, de manière que l'étiquette collée sur ce bord se fixe également sur la face intérieure de l'enveloppe opposée audit bord.In a particular embodiment, suitable for protecting folds, the device also comprises a flap envelope carrying a window cut out in said flap so as to leave visible part of the edge of the envelope below the flap when the envelope is closed, the label intended to be stuck on the container being more precisely intended to be stuck on the edge of the envelope, below the flap, so that its inscriptions appear in the window of the flap when the envelope is closed. In accordance with a particular variant of this embodiment of the invention, the edge of the envelope is notched opposite the window of the flap, so that the label stuck on this edge is also fixed on the inside of the envelope opposite said edge.
Ainsi, l'étiquette collée sur l'enveloppe assure non seulement l'authenticité de celle-ci mais participe également a son inviolabilité.Thus, the label stuck on the envelope not only ensures its authenticity but also contributes to its inviolability.
Dans le même but, et conformément à une autre variante de ce mode de réalisation, la fenêtre découpée dans le rabat présente des dimensions légèrement inférieures à celles de l'étiquette collée sur le bord de l'enveloppe, de sorte que le rabat se colle également sur la périphérie de cette étiquette lorsque l'enveloppe est fermée.For the same purpose, and in accordance with another variant of this embodiment, the window cut in the flap has dimensions slightly smaller than those of the label stuck on the edge of the envelope, so that the flap sticks also on the periphery of this label when the envelope is closed.
De préférence, le rabat est revêtu d'une colle forte sur sa face dirigée vers le bord de l'enveloppe, de sorte que, une fois l'enveloppe fermée, le décollement du rabat entraîne une déchirure au moins partielle du rabat ou de l'enveloppe. Dans le but de mieux faire comprendre l'invention, on va en décrire maintenant un mode de réalisation donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif, en référence au dessin annexé dans lequel :Preferably, the flap is coated with a strong adhesive on its face directed towards the edge of the envelope, so that, once the envelope is closed, the detachment of the flap leads to at least partial tearing of the flap or of the 'envelope. In order to better understand the invention, we will now describe an embodiment given by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the accompanying drawing in which:
- la figure 1 représente une enveloppe à rabat,FIG. 1 represents an envelope with a flap,
- la figure 2 représente l'enveloppe de la figure 1, des documents à envoyer et un registre d'expédition.- Figure 2 shows the envelope of Figure 1, documents to send and a shipping register.
L'enveloppe 1 représentée sur le dessin comporte trois bords 2 scellés et un quatrième bord 3 muni d'un rabat 4.The envelope 1 shown in the drawing has three sealed edges 2 and a fourth edge 3 provided with a flap 4.
La face du rabat 4 dirigée vers l'enveloppe est revêtue d'une colle forte. Une fenêtre 5 est découpée sensiblement dans la partie centrale du rabat 4. On comprend que, lorsque l'enveloppe est fermée, cette fenêtre 5 laisse visible une partie 6 du bord de l'enveloppe.The face of the flap 4 directed towards the envelope is coated with a strong adhesive. A window 5 is cut out substantially in the central part of the flap 4. It is understood that, when the envelope is closed, this window 5 leaves part 6 of the edge of the envelope visible.
Le bord 3 de l'enveloppe comporte une échancrure 7 en regard de la fenêtre 5 découpée dans le rabat. Sur la figure 1, on a représenté une étiquette 8a, par exemple constituée par le substrat référencé 7110 par la Société 3M, collée sur le bord 3 de l'enveloppe, à cheval sur 1 'échancrure 7 de manière à se coller également contre la face intérieure de l'enveloppe. Une telle étiquette ne peut être décolée de l'enveloppe sans destruction de l'étiquette ou de l'enveloppe.The edge 3 of the envelope has a notch 7 opposite the window 5 cut out in the flap. FIG. 1 shows a label 8a, for example constituted by the substrate referenced 7110 by the company 3M, glued to the edge 3 of the envelope, straddling the notch 7 so as to also stick against the inside of the envelope. Such a label cannot be removed from the envelope without destroying the label or the envelope.
De cette manière, l'étiquette 8a empêche l'accès à l'intérieur de l'enveloppe. Cette étiquette 8a porte un numéro unique, dans le sens où ce numéro ne peut être attribué à aucun autre jeu d'étiquettes.In this way, the label 8a prevents access to the interior of the envelope. This label 8a carries a unique number, in the sense that this number cannot be assigned to any other set of labels.
On voit, sur la figure 1, que l'étiquette 8a présente des dimensions légèrement supérieures à celles de la fenêtre 5 de sorte que, lorsque l'enveloppe est fermée, le rabat 4 recouvre la périphérie 9 de l'étiquette, ce qui renforce l'inviolabilité de l'enveloppe.It can be seen in FIG. 1 that the label 8a has dimensions slightly greater than those of the window 5 so that, when the envelope is closed, the flap 4 covers the periphery 9 of the label, which strengthens the inviolability of the envelope.
Sur la figure 2, on voit quatre documents 10 sous forme de feuilles de papier volantes qui doivent être insérées dans l'enveloppe 1.In FIG. 2, we see four documents 10 in the form of loose sheets of paper which must be inserted in the envelope 1.
Sur chacun de ces documents, une étiquette 8b issue du même jeu que celle précédemment décrite, est collée à l'aide d'une colle forte qui empêche son décollement sans dégradation du document ou de l'étiquette.On each of these documents, a label 8b from the same set as that described above is affixed using a strong adhesive which prevents it from being detached without damaging the document or the label.
Une sixième étiquette 8ç, issue du même jeu que les précédentes, est collée sur le registre d'expédition 11 de l'expéditeur, sur lequel sont par ailleurs portés le nom du destinataire, la date de l'envoi, et le nombre de documents insérés dans l'enveloppe. Une fois les documents 10 mis en place dans l'enveloppe, on colle l'étiquette 8a sur le bord de l'enveloppe et l'on ferme l'enveloppe en collant le rabat 4 sur l'étiquette 8a et sur le bord 3 de l'enveloppe.A sixth label 8c, from the same set as the previous ones, is stuck on the dispatch register 11 of the sender, on which are also marked the name of the recipient, the date of dispatch, and the number of documents inserted in the envelope. Once the documents 10 have been placed in the envelope, the label 8a is glued to the edge of the envelope and the envelope is closed by sticking the flap 4 to the label 8a and to the edge 3 of the envelope.
Toutes les étiquettes 8a,8b du pli, ainsi que celle 8ç collée sur le registre d'expédition 11, portent le même numéro. Chaque étiquette est par ailleurs revêtue d'une inscription d'authenticité invisible, par exemple révélable par grattage, par activatëur chimique ou par un éclairage UV.All the labels 8a, 8b of the fold, as well as that 8c pasted on the shipping register 11, bear the same number. Each label is also coated with an invisible authenticity inscription, for example revealable by scratching, by chemical activator or by UV lighting.
De cette manière, le destinataire de l'enveloppe peut, avant même d'ouvrir l'enveloppe, vérifier que l'étiquette 8a qui apparaît dans la fenêtre du rabat est authentique en grattant cette dernière pour voir apparaître l'inscription d'authenticité.In this way, the recipient of the envelope can, before even opening the envelope, verify that the label 8a which appears in the window of the flap is authentic by scraping the latter to see the inscription of authenticity appear.
Une fois cette vérification effectuée, le destinataire peut ouvrir l'enveloppe et vérifier que la totalité des documents se trouve dans le pli.Once this verification has been carried out, the recipient can open the envelope and verify that all of the documents are in the fold.
En cas de doute, le destinataire peut contacter l'expéditeur pour lui demander, d'une part le numéro des étiquettes collées sur les documents, ainsi que le nombre de documents glissés dans l'enveloppe, informations que l'expéditeur peut facilement retrouver grâce à son cahier d'expédition.In case of doubt, the recipient can contact the sender to ask him, on the one hand, the number of the labels stuck on the documents, as well as the number of documents slipped into the envelope, information that the sender can easily find thanks to his shipping book.
Ainsi, grâce à l'invention, non seulement l'inviolabilité du pli est assurée, mais également son authenticité et son intégralité. Il est bien entendu que le mode de réalisation qui vient d'être décrit ne présente aucun caractère limitatif et qu'il pourra recevoir toutes modifications désirables sans sortir pour cela du cadre de l'invention.Thus, thanks to the invention, not only the inviolability of the fold is ensured, but also its authenticity and its completeness. It is understood that the embodiment which has just been described does not have any limiting character and that it can receive any desirable modifications without departing from the scope of the invention.
En particulier, bien qu'on n'ait décrit qu'un pli constitué par une enveloppe et des documents, il est clair que l'invention s'applique à tout contenant tel qu'une boîte, un colis, une pièce d'un bâtiment ou une soute d'un avion. In particular, although only a fold has been described consisting of an envelope and documents, it is clear that the invention applies to any container such as a box, a package, a piece of a building or hold of an airplane.
