Insert sheet for a book-type document

The invention relates to an insert sheet, in particular

Data page, for a book-like document, in particular for an identification document, wherein the insert sheet a main body and connected to the main body, beyond an edge region of the main body protruding

Hinge region, wherein the insert sheet in the hinge region, in particular by means of a seam connection, with at least one further part of the book-like document, in particular a book cover or a book cover, is connectable. In addition, the invention relates to a method for producing such a liner sheet and a book-like document with such an insert sheet.

Under identification documents are below

for example passports, book-type identity cards,

Driver's licenses, temporary personal documents,

Security documents, access rights or the like understood.

Book-type identification documents generally consist of a plastic or cardboard or linen cover, as well as data pages made of paper and / or plastic. The data pages are usually attached by a seam on the envelope or on the inside cover page. The cover page is also referred to as Coverpage, the data page as Holderpage. Data pages made of plastic material,

For example, polymer material (PVC, polycarbonate, ...) are usually labeled with laser, while data pages from

CONFIRMATION COPY Paper usually be printed with inkjet printer or the like.

Such documents have the problem that

Plastic data pages are insufficient

Have bending properties. In the hinge area, in which the data page is bent in the connected state with the other parts of the book-type document, material fatigue and thus breakage of the data page can occur due to heavy bending stress. Particularly affected by the risk of breakage, the transition region from the hinge region to the edge region of the main body of the insert sheet of the case, especially if the thickness of the hinge portion is less than the thickness of the main body of the

Insert sheet. In this case, the hinge area in the region of the outer side edge of the main body of the

Insert sheet a potential break line on.

An object of the present invention is, therefore, the tear strength and thus the life of a

Insert sheet for a book-type document. This object is achieved by an insert sheet with the features of claim 1 or by a method having the features of claim 6. If a book-type document includes such insert sheets as stated in claim 8, the lifetime of the entire document is increased at the same time.

Advantageous embodiments of the invention are in the

Subclaims specified.

The following in connection with the insert sheet

explained advantages and refinements apply mutatis mutandis to the inventive method and vice versa. According to the invention, at least one wire-shaped reinforcing element is provided in the hinge region, extending beyond the hinge region into the edge region of the hinge

Main body of the insert sheet extends into it. This wire-shaped reinforcing element causes an increase in the tear strength and thus extends the life of the hinge. The invention relates primarily to data pages made of plastics (PC, PVC, PET-G, ...), since in these the problem of poor bending properties is increasingly present.

Instead of a planar reinforcing element, such as

For example, an inserted reinforcing plate or an additional reinforcing sheet or the like, a reinforcing element is selected in the form of a wire, as this can be particularly easily integrated into the data page, without causing undesirable images of the structure of the reinforcing element on the surface of the data page. Advantageously, this is the wire-shaped

Reinforcement element in a part of the

Hinge area embedded.

The wire shape of the reinforcing element is also chosen to allow a particularly simple production of the reinforcing element. For example, a conventional wire laying machine can be used.

If the wire-shaped reinforcing element made of a copper, aluminum, platinum or nylon material, so the desired increased strength in the transition region between the hinge portion on the one hand and the edge region of the main body is made on the other hand, without the Bending properties of the hinge area are adversely affected.

Instead of a large, continuous, the entire transition region covering reinforcing element according to the invention one or more reinforcing elements are used, which in the transition region of the

Hinge area to the edge region of the main body

spaced from each other. In other words, the transition region has areas that are free of

Reinforcement elements are.

As a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention has been found in which the wire-shaped

Reinforcement element meandering in the transition area

is arranged, so is the production of the

Reinforcing wire not only especially easy. By using a single, the transition area in

uniform intervals continuous reinforcing element a particularly high bending strength is achieved. The

Loops of the meander preferably run around the already existing holes for the seam to be applied or the later punctures of the seam connection. In other words, the distance of the meander loops to each other and the stitch width of the seam connection are coordinated such that the wire-shaped reinforcing element is not weakened by puncturing the seam connection.

A particularly high bending strength is achieved when the wire-shaped reinforcing element extends over the entire width of the hinge region. As a result, the formation of isolated vulnerabilities is avoided. An embodiment of the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawings. Hereby show:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a

Identification document with a holderpage,

Fig. 2 is a vertical section through a Holderpage in

Transition area between hinge area and main body (exploded view),

3 is a horizontal section through a Holderpage,

perpendicular to the hinge longitudinal direction along the line III-III in Fig. 2, wherein the TPU film is shown transparent.

All figures show the invention only schematically and with its essential components. Same

Reference numerals correspond to elements of the same or comparable function.

FIG. 1 shows a book-like identification document 1 with a Poylmer data page (Holderpage) 2. As shown in Fig. 2, the holder page 2 has a main body 3 and connected to the main body 3, beyond an edge region 4 of the main body 3 protruding

Hinge area 5 on. In the hinge region 5, the holder page 2 (not shown) by means of a seam connection with the book cover 6 connectable.

The main body 3 of the holder page 2 is made essentially of polymer materials. In particular, it includes a number of one connected to a carrier substrate

Polycarbonate films. In the present case are above a first overlay foils 8, 9, 11 of PC are provided, while two overlay foils 13, 14 made of PC are provided below a second core foil 12 of PC adjacent to the first core foil 7. in the

Connected to the lower overlay foils 13, 14, two further laminating foils 15, 16 are arranged, which, however, project beyond the edge of the main body 3. In the example shown, the two foils 15, 16 form a hinge region 5 protruding about 10 mm above the main body 3.

These two further films 15, 16 are, on the one hand, a thermoplastic film 15, which is bonded directly to the lowermost overlay film 14

Polyurethane (TPU), by which the desired flexibility of the hinge region 5 is ensured, and on the other hand to another overlay film 16 made of PC, which covers the TPU film 15.

The thickness of the hinge region 5 is, as in FIG. 2

becomes clear, less than the thickness of the main body. 3

For example, the thickness of the main body 3 is about 0.8 mm, while the thickness of the hinge region 5 is for example only 100 to 150 μπι. Therefore, the transition region 17 from the hinge region 5 to the edge region 4 of

Main body 3 particularly stressed. In the region of the outer side edge 18 of the main body 3, the hinge region 5 has a potential break line 19.

In the hinge region 5 at least one wire-shaped reinforcing element 21 is provided that extends over the

Hinge area 5 out into the edge region 4 of the

Main body 5 of the holder page 2 extends into it. When

wire-shaped reinforcing element 21 is a copper wire with a diameter of preferably 0.06 mm to 0.12 mm used. The wire-shaped Verstärkungselernent 21 during the production of Holderpage 2 using a wire laying machine in one of the two films 15, 16

embedded so that the wire-shaped reinforcing member 21 as a result between the top PC sheet 16 and the

underlying TPU film 15 is arranged, without causing an image of its structure on the surface of the

Holderpage 2 is coming. The hinge can also be off

consist of only a single slide. Preferably, then, the reinforcing element 21 is completely embedded in the single film.

As illustrated in Fig. 3, a single continuous wire-shaped reinforcing element 21 is used, which is meandering in the transition region 17 and passes through the transition region 17 at equal intervals, wherein it extends over the entire width of the hinge region 5. The loops 22 of the meander are in the embodiment shown in the region of the potential break line 19 about 8 mm apart and protrude into the hinge region 5 as far as in the

Edge region 4 of the main body. 3

In the illustrated embodiment, the loops 22 extend from the potential break line 19 about 6 mm into the hinge area 5. On the other hand, the loops 22 of the meander extend beyond the potential break line 19 away about 6 mm in the edge region 4 of the main body 3 of the Holderpage 2, so that an additional connection of the protruding

Hinge area 5 results to the main body 3, whereby According to the invention, the entry or tear resistance of the holder page 2 in the region of the hinge is increased.

In the embodiment shown, this runs

wire-shaped reinforcing element 21 in the potential break line 19 covering areas straight and

perpendicular to the hinge longitudinal direction 23. Alternatively, the wire-shaped reinforcing element 21 in this

Range but also obliquely to the potential break line 19 run. For example, the wire-shaped

Reinforcement 21 while avoiding

non-linear, loop-shaped areas, too

exclusively straight, in particular to form rectangular areas or even zigzag

be arranged.

The wire-shaped reinforcing element 21 extends

advantageously at the later punctures 24 of

Seam in the hinge area 5 around. The seam line defined by the course of the punctures 24 is provided approximately centrally in the hinge region 5, so that in each case to the outer edge 25 of the hinge portion 5 on the one hand and to the side edge 18 of the main body 3 and to the potential break line 19 of the hinge portion 5 on the other Distance of about 5 mm.

All features illustrated in the description, the following claims and the drawings can be used individually as well as in any combination with one another

be essential to the invention.
