Definitions

• the present invention relates to a security document provided with a tactile mark and a textured area. It also relates to a method of manufacturing such a document.
• the fiduciary printer applies on the document a certain number of recognizable and authenticated security by the sight, but also by the touch.
• This last recognition technique is particularly relevant, especially for people with vision loss. It is therefore the blind, but also the visually impaired.
• the visually impaired or visually impaired makes a study of the shape and size of the document, which allows him to implement a first recognition of it.
• the sound emitted by the crumpling of the document paper is also a hallmark, especially when the document is new. But this singular sound changes over time, with aging.
• the visually impaired or visually impaired user can not undoubtedly judge the authenticity of the document.
• a recognition by touch must be able to be a means of identifying and authenticating the latter.
• the fiduciary printer uses a thin paper, of the order of 0.1 mm thick, which is not compatible with the size of the reliefs codified by the Braille language, which are the order of 0.8 to 1 mm, in any case on the French territory.
• the so-called "soft-sizing" printing technique generally used by those skilled in the art to apply an ink in relief on a secure support is limited by the height of ink that can be deposited, namely order of 100 ⁇ maximum.
• marks of blind printed in relief. Often, these marks are located on one side of the note, in this case the front face, are isolated and can be difficult to detect for the visually impaired or blind. It is interesting to note here that no standard governs the coding of these marks.
• the person identifies information relating to the surface, such as roughness, hardness, elasticity, etc., but also to the geometry of the relief elements.
• the object of the present invention is to solve the problems mentioned above by proposing a security document whose location of the salient tactile mark, which is commonly known as a "blind mark", is facilitated. identifying a specific feature of the document as its face value when it comes to a bank note, and to participate in its authentication.
• the present invention relates to a security document, such as a bank note, which is formed of a sheet which comprises at least on one of its opposite faces, at least one marker tactile projection or "blind mark" capable of allowing persons who are not or have low vision, by the touch of said mark, to identify a specific characteristic of said document, such as its facial value and to participate in the determination of its authenticity, characterized by the fact that said mark is at least partially surrounded by at least a first textured area, that is to say a surface whose feel is different from and distinct from that of the remainder of said sheet, its second side also presenting a second textured area.
• said textured zone consists of at least one pair of regions disposed on either side of said salient mark
• said textured zone completely surrounds said mark; said textured zone partially surrounds said mark;
• said textured zone is contiguous to the tactile mark
• said textured zone is distant from the tactile mark
• the document comprises a tactile mark on each of said faces
• the tactile landmarks are not in line with each other, and the textured area region in "positive” on the front face associated with the first touch element extends plumb with a textured region region "negative” complementary shape on the reverse side, while the textured region region "positive” on the reverse side associated with the second touch element, s extends perpendicular to a textured region region "negative” of complementary shape on the front face, so that said regions on the same face are complementary and textured areas in "positive” are similar on said faces front and back.
• the present invention also relates to a method of manufacturing a document according to one of the above characteristics.
• said simultaneous formation is carried out by a intaglio printing
• Intaglio printing is performed with an ink, preferably colorless or white.
• Figure 3 is a sectional view along the plane III-III of the view of Figure 2;
• FIGS. 5A to 5G are shapes of a size plate profile that can be used in the context of the present invention.
• Figure 1 is shown very schematically a bank note formed of a sheet 1 of fiduciary paper.
• sheet is meant both a monolayer sheet and multilayer.
• the sheet contains in particular 100% natural cotton fibers. But it is possible to find other fibers in smaller proportions from flax or abaca, or even synthetic fibers.
• the support may be entirely derived from petrochemicals and consist exclusively of bi-oriented polypropylene for example.
• paper cotton and plastic eg polyester, nylon
• this tactile mark is disposed near an edge of the sheet.
• the mark 2 is at least partially surrounded by at least a first textured zone 3, that is to say an area whose feel is different from that of the remainder of the sheet 1 and in any case particularly distinctive and whose extent, or area, is at least equal but preferably greater than that occupied by said mark, its second face, in this case the reverse side 1 1, also having a second textured area 4 of similar extent.
• the textured area is defined as having a different, distinctive feel that distinguishes it from the rest of the sheet. The person who tries to identify the document will therefore be informed, by this change of tactile sensation of sensation that a reference "identifier" is close.
• Said textured zone can be of any kind as long as it presents a different, singular, distinctive touch from that of the rest of the sheet.
• it can be configured to provide the following sensation (s) by way of example and without limitation: bumpy, soft, fuzziness, felted, gummy, grainy, bristling, smooth, fluffy , gnarled, pungent, rugged, rough, rough, rough, ribbed, grooved, satiny, silky, varnished, with relief elements arranged according to a particular or variable geometry, that is to say randomly extending, etc.
• an outer member such as a plastic film having a particular texture or an ink coating may be transferred to the document sheet by heat transfer or cold transfer.
• Figures 2 and 3 illustrate a possible embodiment of textured areas according to the present invention.
• the tactile mark 2 and the associated textured areas 3 and 4 are manufactured by the so-called "soft-sizing" technique.
• this technique of the soft-sizing consists in applying to the paper a plate comprising a set of engravings (in this case here a succession of grooves in the form of straight segments) which, when applied under strong pressure on the paper, causes a complementary deformation of the latter in the thickness of the sheet, thus showing ribs on the face opposite the plate and grooves similar to those of the plate on the opposite side.
• a plate comprising a set of engravings (in this case here a succession of grooves in the form of straight segments) which, when applied under strong pressure on the paper, causes a complementary deformation of the latter in the thickness of the sheet, thus showing ribs on the face opposite the plate and grooves similar to those of the plate on the opposite side.
• the ribs 21 and 20 Due to the technique of the intaglio employed, the ribs 21 and 20 generate on the reverse face 1 1 grooves of substantially complementary shapes while the hollow delimited by the ribs 20 and 21 causes the presence of a projecting stud, substantially complementary, on the reverse side.
• the terms "practically or substantially complementary” are used here voluntarily because the grooves / ribs, the hollows / studs do not have exactly the same dimensions. This is due to the deformation of the sheet and the technique used
• the textured zone 3 consists of a pair of regions 30 and 31 which are arranged on either side of the salient mark 2.
• this textured area could completely surround the marker or partially encircle, the essential being that the non-visually impaired easily accesses said textured zone to reach the region where the tactile mark is present. .
• the two regions 30 and 31 of the textured zone 3 are slightly distant from the tactile mark 2.
• Figure 2 there is shown in the form of black lines of different thicknesses the ribs that has the front face 10 of the sheet, while are shown in white grooves that separate two neighboring ribs.
• the term "groove" considered on the front corresponds in fact to the non-ribbed zones equivalent to the zero altitude of the plane of the sheet, reciprocally to that of the soft-sided plate.
• the reverse side comprises a complementary region 31 'consisting of grooves 310' and ribs 31 1 '.
• Figure 4 is shown schematically substantially the same structure as that of Figure 3, except that it is also shown the size plate 6 used to deform the sheet of paper. Note that this plate has engraved elements 60 and 61 which are of a shape complementary to the ribs and grooves that it is desired to obtain on the paper.
• Frequency or linearization Space separating, repeatedly, the edges of reliefs of the same nature. Thus the frequency corresponds here to the addition of the thickness and the space between two lines. Tactilities front and back: Depending on the sensitivity of the touch that provides these reliefs, notes -, -, + and ++ have been assigned to prioritize the level of sensitivity, the best tactility benefiting from the rating ++, while that the worst is noted -. Shape: This is described as the juxtaposition of two angles and possibly the presence of a shoulder. Thus, the form "90 ° 45 ° shoulder 20" corresponds to the schematic representation located next to the table and which is also illustrated in Figure 5B. The other shapes shown in the table are also found in FIGS. 5A to 5G. In all of these tests, the engraving depth of the soft-sanding plate was made at 100 m and the use of this soft size without ink has created a tactile effect.
• the inks used are for example those referenced SICPA 9SP0001 S which is a white covering and SICPA 9SP00021 which is a transparent white. They can be used independently of one another or mixed in any proportion. In the case where for aesthetic reasons, and / or technical reasons related to the configuration of the intaglio printing, or to combine the functionality of the blind mark and textured areas with a security aspect, inks soft-sizing color can be used.
• the intaglio inks can be fluorescent, visible under infra-red radiation or not, provided with chemical tracers etc. This also applies to white and transparent inks.
• a line that is to say a rib, of 200 ⁇ width spaced from the next one of a space of 800 ⁇ , allows an optimum tactility on the front.
• Figure 6 An application of these teachings is also illustrated in Figure 6 in which there is shown, on a single sheet 1, two tactile marks 2 each disposed on one of the faces 10 and 1 1. These tactile landmarks are not arranged to plumb one another.
• FIG. 10 it is a tactile marker 2 surrounded by a textured zone 3, the portion 31 of which consists of small projecting squares randomly arranged, whereas the portion 30 has small square cavities arranged also randomly.
• the squares are identical in size and do not have an angle of rotation between them (that is to say they are oriented in the same direction).
• Figure 11 is similar to Figure 10 except for the shape of any protruding or recessed elements. Moreover, these elements are arranged relative to each other in a random manner.
