Definitions

  • covert There are three classes of security features: covert; semi-overt; and overt.
  • Covert applications require expensive and complex analytical equipment for authentication; semi-overt applications require simple and readily available equipment for verification; whereas overt features do not require the use of a device.
  • Many covert features have been introduced in the past few years and there is a particular need for the development of overt and semi-overt security features to increase confidence in the legitimacy of secure documents as traditional overt features, such as holograms, are now commonly replicated.
  • planchettes, fibers and threads in secure articles, such as banknotes is widely known and is described in Optical Document Security, 3rd Ed., R. van Renesse, Artech House Publishers.
  • planchette is defined as a small colored form, such as a fiber, a regular shape such as a circle, an irregular shape, or a thread or stripe running throughout the length of the document.
  • planchettes may then be added to the pulped substrate prior to being formed, so that they form an integral part of the finished substrate. See diagrams 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively for examples of planchette forms.
  • the planchettes range in dimension from about 5 mm to about 0.5 mm in the case of fibers. However other maxima and minima are possible.
  • the present invention discloses the use of planchettes colored with an ultra color inconstant pigment embedded in a substrate.
  • the document containing the planchettes is simply authenticated by the use of two readily available light sources of different energy distributions. This method of counterfeit protection addresses some of the aforementioned problems.
  • Color inconstant pigments exhibit a dramatic color change ( ⁇ E) due to a change in their own color coordinates and do not need a second ink to demonstrate this.
  • This color change occurs due to the absorption bands of these pigments which are distinct in the visible spectrum.
  • the pigment appears one color, but when viewed under light of a discrete spectral distribution, the wavelengths available for absorption/reflection are decreased and the pigment appears as a different color.
  • WO2007041579 and PCT/US2007/021021 give further definitions of color inconstancy and examples of appropriate compounds. These compounds exhibit many benefits over traditional pigments and some used in secure documents as security features, such as fluorescent pigments, in that they exhibit excellent lightfastness and resistance to degradation by chemicals. These properties are essential for use in secure articles as their use times tend to be long and it is a requisite of security features that they do not fail during the lifetime of the document.

  • Down-converters have the reverse properties in that they absorb radiation of higher energy than they emit. For example, UV fluorescent materials absorb UV radiation and emit visible light.
  • the up-converters, down-converters or other security features could be incorporated in the following ways; added to the ink used to coat the planchettes, added to the material used to form the planchette or incorporated into an overprint varnish applied over the color inconstant coated stock before the individual planchettes are formed.

This ink was then screen printed using a 43 mesh screen onto both sides of heat stabilized polyester (Autostat CT3, MacDermid Autotype Ltd.). Circular planchettes of diameter 5 mm were then punched out of the coated polyester and added to a cotton and linen fiber pulp. The pulp was distributed over a 12-300 mesh screen and allowed to drain. After most of the moisture had been removed, the screen was laid over an absorbent substrate and pressure applied until completely dry.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne des planchettes incorporées dans le substrat d'articles sécurisés, tels que des billets de banque, des passeports et des timbres fiscaux. Ces planchettes peuvent prendre une diversité de formes (par exemple des fibres), des formes régulières (par exemple des cercles), des formes irrégulières (par exemple des polygones) ou peuvent se présenter sous la forme de fils ou de bandes qui s'étendent sur toute la longueur du document et qui sont colorées avec un pigment ou un colorant variable ultra coloré, ou un pigment ou un colorant variable incolore, ou une combinaison de ceux-ci. La couleur des pigments et des colorants variables ultra colorés apparaît comme une couleur nettement différente sous des sources de lumière de distributions spectrales différentes. Les planchettes sont revêtues d'une encre contenant un pigment variable coloré et sert de procédé d'authentification du document. Lorsque la source de lumière sous laquelle l'article est examiné est modifiée, les planchettes changent de couleur en même temps. L'effet est frappant et prouve que le document est authentique. Ceci permet une authentification facile sans nécessité d'équipement complexe ou coûteux. La masse du substrat peut également être colorée de façon à correspondre à l'aspect des planchettes sous un éclairage, de telle sorte qu'elles ne deviennent visibles que lorsque les caractéristiques spectrales de la source de lumière sont modifiées.
