Definitions

  • WO 02/02352 discloses a metal container holding a surface relief and a method for replicating and protecting a surface relief. This metal container is a great leap forward in assuring authenticity of a product, however there is an ever-increasing need for even more sophisticated indication of authenticity of a product and protection against counterfeiting.
  • Prior art teaches how to provide different kinds of images and holograms on articles to protect against counterfeiting.
  • US 2002/0044313 describes an optical feature for documents of value and having at least one dual-channel hologram for the holographic reconstruction of different images from different directions of gaze, in which different regions of the hologram are associated with the different channels and the regions of the hologram reconstructing the respective image under incident light have sub-regions which do not take part in the image reconstruction.
  • EP 0 346 869 discloses a method of forming a holographic device by forming a first hologram on a major surface of a substrate, then desensitizing said first hologram to prevent interaction with a second subsequently formed hologram, and the forming the second hologram conterminous with said first hologram, whereby the holograms of said device are bonded together absent an additional adhesive layer.
  • WO 02/097537 relates to a method for producing an optical element, preferably a security feature, according to which a film with a first embossed hologram is provided in an embossed layer, and a second embossed hologram is embossed into the same embossed layer whereby the embossed hologram is partially replaced by the second embossed hologram.
  • WO 97/19820 relates to an optical carrier which is in the form of a composite laminate with a carrier foil and which has microscopically fine relief structures, the carrier foil being approximately transparent for light in a predetermined spectral range, and microscopically fine relief structures are formed into the underside of the carrier foil.
  • the underside is coated with a base layer whose refractive index differs from the refractive index of the carrier foil in at least a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum so that the relief structures on the underside at least partially reflect and diffract the light which has penetrated into the composite laminate.
  • the top side of the carrier foil is provided with optically effective structures which allow light impinging on the top side to penetrate at least partially in the composite laminate and the thickness of the carrier foil is at least 20 micrometres.
  • US 2001/002653 describes a packaging for sports equipment comprising an enclosure and a hologram formed on at least a portion thereof for diffusely reflecting incident light.
  • a marking layer may be formed on a first hologram by laminating one or more second hologram layers thereon.
  • EP 0 328 086 describes an article comprising a continuous unperforated sheet carrying a hologram or diffraction pattern including a number of discontinuous areas, said areas being characterised by reconstructing a recognisable light pattern by diffraction of incident light therefrom.

  • a second hologram containing a second image is formed in non-continuous areas across said sheet that are non-overlapping with the first hologram areas.
  • a first aspect of the invention relates to a method for producing a composite surface of an article comprising the steps of: providing a substrate, - providing a first structure on a surface area of the substrate, applying a layer of at least semi-transparent coating covering the first structure, providing a second structure into a surface area of the coating above said first structure so as to cover at least a part of said first structure, and
  • the second structure is adapted to be shiftable between an active state at least partially hiding the first structure, and an inactive state at least partially revealing the first structure.
  • the first structure may be provided as a separate foil on the substrate, according to an embodiment, however, the first structure is provided by embossment of the substrate.
  • embossment of the substrate By embossing the first structure directly into the surface of the substrate, a separate step of achieving and placing the structure on the substrate is avoided, and there is no risk that the structure is displaced during production of the composite surface.
  • the substrate may be the material of which a product is made, such as the metal sheet for a container, and by this method the first structure may be provided on the surface of the material before the container is formed into its final form.
  • the first structure may be provided before the final shaping of the product, products may be provided having a complex outer geometry while still having the first structure placed on a preferred location on the surface of the product.

  • the- first structure is a hologram.
  • the second structure may comprise images (such as pattern, logos or figures), hologra ms, reliefs, decorations, such as text, or any combination of these.
  • the substrate may be made of any suitable material, such as plastic, cardboard or composite materials, according to an embodiment, however, the substrate is metal, w iich is a durable and widely used material for containers, such as cans for food.
  • a metal substrate is particularly advantageous when the first structure is produced by embossment.
  • the coating may be a transparent polymer, such as a foil or the like, according to an embodiment, however, the coating is a semi-transparent lacquer, which may be coloured.
  • the second structure may be shifted into its inactive state by applying a substance to t he surface of the structure so as to neutralise the structure of the surface and make said Hrst structure visible through said layer of coating, and the second structure is shifted into i ts active state by removing said substance from the surface of the structure.
  • the substance may comprise any kind of grease or sebum.
  • the composite surface may comprise further layers of coating, one or more of which m ay comprise images or holograms or reliefs or decorations or prints, such as text.
  • the coating may be applied to the substrate by rolling, laminating or spraying or other commonly used lacquering techniques.
  • a second aspect of the invention relates to an article having a composite surface comprising a substrate having a first structure on a surface area thereof, the first strucrture being covered by a layer of at least semi-transparent coating, said layer having a second structure incorporated in a surface area thereof and hiding at least a part of said first structure, and wherein the second structure is adapted to be shiftable between an active state at least partially hiding the first structure, and an inactive state at least partially revealing the first structure.

  • the first and second structure may be embossed into the surface of the substrate and coating layer, respectively.
  • the second structure is adapted to be shiftable between an active state at least partially hiding the first structure, and an inactive state at least partially revealing the first structure. This means that the first structure would normally be hidden at a first glance, but can be revealed by active manipulation of the second structure. Hence the copier may not notice the first structure and hence produce an article without the first structure.
  • the second structure is adapted to be shiftable to an inactive state by applying a substance to a surface area of the second structure, and adapted to be shiftable to the active state by removing the substance from the structure.
  • the structure when applying substance to the surface area of the second structure, the structure is neutralised such that the area containing the structure becomes transparent (the reflecting effect of the structure is removed), and thus the first structure on the substrate becomes visible for the user through the layer of coating.
  • the substance may be any kind of grease, or it may sebum, which may be supplied to the structure by rubbing on the surface with a finger.
  • the second structure becomes active again when removing the substance from the structure, e.g. by washing the structure.
  • the substance may be applied by a label being attached to the layer of coating, so that the second structure can be shifted into its active state by removing said label from the structure.
  • the substance may applied to the second structure by applying an aqueous liquid to the structure and subsequently harden it, said hardened liquid being detachable from the structure.
  • the aqueous liquid may comprise a polymer liquid that hardens into a film.
  • the substrate and coating layer may of course comprise more than one first and second structure, respectively.
