Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of the seals which are utilized to ensure the authenticity of products. More specifically, the invention relates to a yarn comprising at least one fiber which can be identified in order to verify the authenticity of the yarn employed and of the product into which the yarn is incorporated.
  • the invention provides a very useful way to ensure the authenticity of a product by a yam, preferably a multi-thread yarn, comprising at least one fiber, or a single thread, hidden inside the yarn and which can be identified by a suitable reading device.
  • a yam preferably a multi-thread yarn, comprising at least one fiber, or a single thread, hidden inside the yarn and which can be identified by a suitable reading device.
  • the latter can be threaded into the multi-threated yarn, can constitute the internal core of the yarn or can be alternatively arranged as internal element of a coaxial yarn.
  • the fiber of the invention can be an optical fiber or a fiber carrying information data which can be read by a suitable device.
  • a textile fiber can be identified by dipping it, at a final stage of its manufacturing process, into an impregnating bath of optical-sensitive elements.
  • said information data can consist of a particular writing, a code bar, an holographic code or a code obtained by magnetic materials. Therefore, the suitable reading device depends on the specific nature of the selected fiber which can be read by means of a lens (fiber carrying a writing), by UV rays irradiation (optical fiber), by a bar code reader (fiber carrying a bar code), by a laser device (fiber carrying an hologram) or by a magnetic detector (fiber carrying a magnetic code).
  • the fiber can be arranged inside and constitute the core of a yarn of the usual type (preferred solution where the yarn is a synthetic yarn manufactured by extrusion).
  • the fiber can also be threaded with the other fibers or threads (natural or synthetic) of the yarn or, for example when fabrics are concerned, can be embedded in the fabric or sewn into a predetermined part of an article of clothes.
  • a yarn according to the invention can also be used to fix a conventional seal to a product, because the replacement or the cutting of the yarn which binds the seal to the product could be easily verified. On the other hand, neither is it possible to cut the yarn in order to apply the same seal to a counterfeited product.
