Description

Data page, in particular for a book-type document, and method for its production

The invention relates to a data page, in particular for a book-type document, and a method for its production, wherein the data page comprises at least one single page for applying and / or storing data and at least one tab made of a flexible material, wherein in an overlap region at least one Tab portion of a tab member of the tab is connected to the single side and has an overhanging free tab area.

From EP 2 001 686 B1, a data page is known in which a stepped receiving area is introduced at an edge region for the connection of a tab. On this stepped receiving area a tab is placed. The tab consists of a fabric which is surrounded on both sides with a plastic layer. Subsequently, the tab is connected in the receiving area to the data side by means of ultrasonic welding.

WO 2007/054618 A1 likewise discloses a data page in which a tab is assigned a bottom side of a single page, so that a tab section of the tab forms an overlapping area with the underside of the single page. Subsequently, this tab portion is connected to each other in the overlapping area under pressure and temperature, wherein the tab made of a net-like material is pressed into the bottom of the single page.

When connecting the tab to a single side in the overlap area, the single side and the tab portion located in the overlap area are positioned between an anvil and a sonotrode to create an ultrasonic weld joint. The ambos and sonotrode work against two different materials, so that it requires a specific adaptation of the sonotrode pressure for an optimal connection, in order to avoid damage by an opposite movement of the two superimposed layers.

The invention has for its object to provide a data page and a method for producing such a data page, in which the material connection, a mechanical connection or a combination of the material and mechanical connection between the single side and the at least one arranged in the overlap region tab portion of a tab member for Formation of the tab is improved.

This object is achieved by a data page, wherein the tab is formed in the overlap region with at least one electrical guide element. This makes it possible that for the production of a material connection, a mechanical connection or a combination of the material and mechanical connection between the tab portion of the at least one tab element and the single side, the at least one electrical guide element is energized and thus an immediate heat input at the Vernetzungsort or the connection point he follows. This can be done without an opposite movement of the layers to be joined together of the tab member and the single side, which is initiated by a sonotrode, a melting or melting of the single side or the tab portion of the tab member or both to form the connection point. The formation of the joint takes place in material compounds, preferably by welding. In the production of the connection point by a mechanical connection, a positive anchoring and / or a clawing is preferably provided. Also, by a combination of these types of connection, the connection point between the single side and the tab portion of the tab member can be done.

A preferred embodiment of the data page provides for the at least one electrical conducting element between the single side and the at least one tab section of the tab in the overlapping region. This allows an immediate on or melting of the adjoining in the overlap region layers or layers of the tab member and the single page.

An alternative embodiment of the data page, at least at or in the tab portion of the at least one tab element of the tab, which forms an overlap region with the at least one layer of the single side, at least one electrical guide element. The at least one electrical guide element is integrated in the tab portion or provided or attached to the tab portion, whereby a simplification in the handling and production of the data page is given.

It is preferably provided that the at least one electrical guide element extends at least partially, preferably completely along the overlap region or transversely to the longitudinal extent of the overlap region. This allows a flexible connection of the tab to the single page can be achieved.

According to a preferred embodiment of the data page is provided that the electrical guide element is linear, in particular wire-shaped, is formed. This represents a simple embodiment by which the thickness of the data page need not be amplified. Rather, very thin line-shaped guide elements can be provided and introduced so that no traces or markings are formed on the outer sides of the data page or the tab. By selecting the diameter or the cross section of the guide element, a differently strong energization and thus heating of the guide element can take place, so that thereby an adaptation to the melting temperature of the material to be melted in the overlapping area is made possible.

A preferred embodiment of the linear electrical guide element provides that this is designed as a metal wire, in particular as a stainless steel wire. For example, wire diameters may be provided in a range of less than 50 μm, in particular with a diameter of 15 to 40 μm. In addition, the use of a stainless steel wire prevents possible corrosion.

Alternatively it can be provided that the at least one electrical guide element is formed from a shape memory alloy, in particular nitrinol. As a result, the electrical guide element can serve not only for melting the layers to be joined together and for producing a material connection or mechanical connection, but additionally form an additional security element due to the memory function. Alternatively it can be provided that carbon fibers are used. It is also possible that the electrical guide element consists of conductive plastics. By selecting the materials for the electrical guide element can in turn be given a parameter for the achievement or adjustment of the heating temperature and thus an adjustment to the melting temperature of the connecting material.

Thus, for example, by a plurality of arranged in the overlap region guide elements, which are formed with the same material but different diameter, different heating zones for melting the single side or the tab portion can be achieved. Alternatively divergent heating zones can also be achieved by introducing a plurality of electrical conducting elements made of different materials. A combination of different materials with different diameters allows the design of heating zones.

A further preferred embodiment of the electrical guiding element provides that a plurality of line-shaped electrical guiding elements are arranged next to one another, in particular aligned parallel to one another and extend along the overlapping region. The arrangement and orientation of these electrical guide elements, a larger area can be melted within the overlap region. In addition, it is possible that with several closely juxtaposed or closely juxtaposed guide elements stronger heating in the overlapping area can be generated than is the case with a larger spacing. In addition, given by the number of electrical guide elements and / or the course or the orientation within the overlap region, an additional security feature that is specific for each data page and such an arrangement can be detected and stored, in particular stored in a transponder module of the single page.

Furthermore, it can alternatively be provided that the at least one electrical guide element is formed in a grid shape. In particular, this electrical guide element may be formed as a fabric or braid. As a result, a surface melting of the at least one connection point in the overlapping region can be achieved. In addition, it is possible that the tab portion and / or the at least one layer of the single side at least partially penetrate into the tissue and can connect and hook with this. The selection of the above-described parameters for the guide element, such as the diameter or cross section of the guide element as well as the selection of the material and / or the arrangement of the individual guide elements to each other, in particular in a fabric or braid, determine the heating temperature. Thus, for example, tissues can be created which achieve greater or lesser heating. However, the fabrics or braids may also be designed such that they form different heating zones within the overlapping area due to differing mesh size.

A preferred embodiment of the data page provides that the tab is applied on one side to an upper or a lower side of the at least one layer of the single page. In this case, the layer or individual page, for example, extending continuously from a data area to the overlap region or have a recess or depression in the single page, which at least partially corresponds to the thickness of the applied tab.

Alternatively it can be provided that the tab to be attached to the single side is positioned between two layers of the single page. Due to the presence of the at least one electrical conduction element between the tab element and a layer adjacent thereto within the recess, a material connection or mechanical connection mechanical connection of the tab element to the at least one layer in the recess of the single side can be achieved without influencing an outer cover layer.

A further preferred embodiment of the data page provides that the electrical guide element is provided with a fusible layer. This makes it possible for this fusible layer to form a type of adhesive bond between the tab section of the tab element and the at least one layer of the single side in the overlapping area.

A further alternative embodiment of the data page provides that in each case a tab section of the at least one tab element is arranged on an upper side and on an underside of the single side and forms an overlap area in each case. In this embodiment, a tab section of the at least one tab element can thus be assigned to each outer side of the single side to form an overlapping area. This has the advantage that a symmetrical connection of the single side to the tab is made possible.

It is preferably provided that the tab consists of two tab elements, so that in each case a tab element engages with a tab portion in the overlapping region on the single side. Alternatively it can be provided that the tab consists of a tab element and is folded over on two sides, so that in turn attack two tab sections of a tab element on the outer sides of the single page.

A further preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the at least one tab element of the tab is at least partially formed from a thermally fusible plastic or a textile material which at least partially comprises a plastic polymer or at least one layer or layer of thermoplastic polymer. As a result, as a result of the direct introduction of heat by means of the electrical guide element, melting of the tab material at the cross-linking point takes place in order to fuse the adjacent layers together.

Alternatively it can be provided that the at least one tab element of the tab is formed from a metal mesh or metal mesh. As a result, the tab and the electrical guide element consist of a component. The connection with the data side takes the form that the metal mesh at least partially penetrates into the single side and a mechanical connection is achieved. Advantageously, the metal mesh and / or metal mesh can be provided on one or both sides with a layer of thermally fusible plastic.

The further alternative embodiment of the at least one tab element of the tab provides that it is formed from a blended fabric in which at least individual warp threads are formed as electrical guide elements, wherein the warp threads extend along the data side and the weft threads extending from the overlap region in the above Extend range. As a result, a mechanical connection of the tab to the single side can in turn be made possible by the heat input directly at the transition point, ie between the electrical guide element and the adjacent layer. In addition, the electrical guide elements can be surrounded by a melting or melting layer. Alternatively or additionally, individual warp threads may be provided which melt or melt.

A further preferred embodiment of the data page provides that the single page is at least partially made of polycarbonate or a polycarbonate derivative. Such a data page is preferably referred to as a PC card, ie polycarbonate card, wherein the respective outer layers made of polycarbonate and intervening at least one printing layer or a printable layer and / or a transponder module may be provided with an antenna for storing data. By virtue of the outer layers of PC, such a single side can have a completely circumferential and closed edge against which a tab section of the at least one tab element engages and forms an overlapping region.

The object underlying the invention is further achieved by a method for producing a data page, in which the tab is formed in the overlap region with at least one electrical guide element. This allows a simple and fast connection, in particular a cohesive connection or a mechanical connection between the tab portion of the at least one tab member and the single page.

Preferably, at least one electrical conduction element is arranged in the overlapping area between the at least one layer and the tab portion of the at least one tab element of the tab or the at least one electrical conduction element is provided on or in the tab portion of the at least one tab element which is energized and the tab portion of the tab elements or the Single side or both are melted by the at least one electrical guide element. As a result, the cohesive connection or the mechanical connection can be deliberately introduced. Due to the direct heat input at the cross-linking location, the further regions of the tab section of the at least one tab element and the single side can remain unaffected and thus leave no or only slight traces, which are visible from the outside.

Preferably, the tab portion of the tab member and the single side in the overlap region to form a material connection or mechanical connection or a combination of the two is pressurized. This allows one or both adjoining surfaces in the overlap region to be melted and simultaneously or subsequently pressurized to provide adhesive and / or cohesive adhesion of the adjoining materials or mechanical bonding.

A preferred embodiment of the method provides that at least one electrical conducting element is inserted between a layer of the single side and the tab portion of the tab element, so that over the overlap region protruding connections are formed, to which contact elements are connected for energizing the at least one electrical guide element and that after the at least partial melting of the at least one tab section and / or the at least one layer of the single side and the connection by means of pressure, the connections projecting beyond the overlapping region are severed. As a result, a simple contacting and energizing of the at least one electrical guide element is made possible. By disconnecting the electrical connections, a subsequent manipulation can be prevented.

A further alternative embodiment of the method provides that at or in the at least one tab section of the tab element at least one electrical guide element is provided, which has over the overlap region protruding connections, to which contact elements for energizing the at least one electrical guide element are connected and that after the at least partially melting the at least one tab portion of the tab member and / or the at least one layer of the single side and connecting to the single side under pressure, the terminals are separated. This embodiment also allows a simple and inexpensive production.

A further alternative embodiment of the method provides that the at least one electrical guide element in the at least one tab section of the tab has two contact points, which are contacted with contact elements for energizing the at least one electrical guide element. This configuration makes it possible for the contacting of the electrical guide element and the application of pressure to the overlapping area to take place simultaneously and for the subsequent separation of the connections no longer required.

If a plurality of electrical guide elements are provided in an overlap region, preferably each guide element is contacted with contact elements. This allows all the guide elements can be energized equal. It is also possible that they can be energized to different degrees, whereby different heating zones can be achieved. If, for example, a middle zone in the overlapping area is heated more strongly than an outer zone of the overlapping area, the tab section and / or the single side in the middle zone can be more strongly fused or melted due to a higher melting temperature and thus better welded than in the outer zone of the zone Case, so that the tab material remains mechanically more stable in the outer zone. Such a compound not only has the advantage of greater stability, but also complicates the manipulation, since the inner zone would show significantly greater damage in a manipulation attempt.

A further preferred embodiment of the method provides that the at least one electrical guide element is heated to a temperature which is equal to or greater than a melting temperature of the at least one tab portion of the tab member or the at least one layer of the single side or both. As a result, melting of at least one surface can be ensured in order subsequently to enable a mechanical connection of the at least one tab section to the single side or a material connection of the at least one tab section to the single side or both.

FIG. 3 a shows a schematic side view of a method step for producing a data page 17 according to FIG. 2.

FIG. 3b shows a schematic view of the data page 17 during the production step in FIG. 3a.

The single page 27 may consist of a single layer. This may be, for example, a layer of plastic or of paper and impregnated with plastic layer.

In the exemplary embodiment, the single side 27 comprises at least one front side booklet 28 and a back side booklet 29, which each consist of at least one layer or a print layer. The front-side booklet 28 and the back-side booklet 29 are integrally connected to one another. The tab 23 is formed as a strip-shaped tab member 32. This has a tab portion 34 which is arranged in the overlapping region 30 to the single page 27. Before the tab section 34 is positioned in the overlapping area 30, at least one electrical guide element 33 is positioned to the single side 27 in the overlapping area 30. As a result, the at least one electrical guide element 33 is provided between the single side 27 and the tab section 34 of the tab element 32. According to a first embodiment, the electrical guide element 33 is formed linear. Preferably, this consists of a wire, wherein preferably a plurality of wires may be arranged side by side, which extend along the overlap region 30.

FIG. 3 b shows a schematic view from above of the at least one electrical conduction element 33 in the overlapping region 30. Preferably, the at least one electrical conduction element 33 extends along the longitudinal direction of the overlap region 30. This at least one electrical conduction element 33 preferably extends beyond an upper and a lower side edge 38, 39, thereby forming a connection 40 for a contact element 41. These contact elements 41 are electrically connected to a control device 42 in order to energize and thus heat the at least one electrical conduction element 33.

To connect the tab portion 34 with the single side 27, in particular in the back side pocket 29, in the overlapping area 30, a tool 36, 37 consisting of an upper part 36, which is assigned to the tab section 34 and a lower part 37, which is the front side book 28 in the region of the overlap region 30th is assigned, moved toward each other, so that a prefixing of the tab portion 34 and the at least one electrical guide element 33 is provided in the overlapping region 30 to the single page 27. Simultaneously or subsequently, there is an energization of the at least one electrical guide element 33, whereby a start or melting of the coming into contact with the at least one electrical guide element 33 connecting points. By means of the control device 42, the at least one electrical guide element 33 is energized and thus heated in such a way that the rear side booklet 29 in the overlap region 30 and / or the tab section 34 in the overlap region 30 are melted. By means of the tool 36, 37, the tab portion 34 is pressed together with the back side booklet 29 in the overlapping area 30, so that an adhesive and / or cohesive adhesion of the materials occurs.

Subsequently, the tool 36, 37 is removed from the overlap area 30. Subsequently, the protruding over the side edge 38, 39 in the overlap region 30 terminals 40 are cut off and released from the contact elements 41 or first the contact elements 41 released from the terminals 40 and then the terminals 40 separated. The data page 17 is then completed.

4 shows a schematic side view of the data page 17 is shown, which is prepared starting from a superimposed arrangement of the at least one electrical guide element 33 and the tab portion 34 of the tab member 32 to the back page booklet 29 of the single page 27 in Figure 3a. The tab section 34 is thereby pressed into the back side pocket 29 at least partially or completely and connects to it with the interposition of the at least one electrical guide element 33. This at least one electrical guide element 33 can dip into the back side pocket 29 and / or the tab section 34 in the overlapping area 30.

In the above-described embodiment, the at least one electrical guide element 33 is formed as a metal wire, in particular as a stainless steel wire. For positioning, for example, a plurality of juxtaposed guide elements 33 in the overlapping region, these can be gripped at the respective terminals 40 and held under at least low tension to the overlapping region 30. As a result, the electrical guide elements 33 designed as wires are aligned almost parallel or parallel to one another. This allows a plurality of individual wires to be positioned side by side. By means of the tool 36, 37, with the interposition of the tab portion 34, a prefixing of the electrical guide elements 33 to the single side 27, or to the rear side booklet 29, take place. After connecting the tab portion 34 to the single side 27 in the overlapping area 30, the terminals 40 are separated.

The above explanations apply analogously to the connection of the tab section 34 to the front page booklet 28 of the single page 27.

The electrical guide element 33 may alternatively be formed in a grid shape as an alternative to the above-described embodiment. For example, the electrical guide element 33 may be formed as a woven or braided, in particular metal fabric or metal mesh. This metal mesh can be produced, for example, as a screen-printed fabric. The formed by a woven or braided electrical guide element 33 is preferably formed strip-shaped and extends beyond the upper and lower side edge 38, 39 of the single side 27 also. Preferably, the width of the fabric is adapted to the width of the overlap region 30. This may also have a smaller width than the width of the overlap region 30. Alternatively it can be provided that the width of the mesh fabric along the longitudinal extent of the overlapping region 30 also changes.

In the above-described embodiments, it is provided that the at least one layer of the front side booklet 28 and / or the at least one layer of the back side booklet 29 is made of one or more plastics (polymers). In particular, these consist of polycarbonate (PC).

Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS), and / or derivatives thereof, or of paper and / or cardboard or of mixtures of the abovementioned materials.

The tab member 32 for forming the tab 23 may be formed of a textile material. For example, a textile fabric may be provided in the form of a woven, knitted, knitted or the like or in the form of a felt or fleece. The material is preferably formed from a composite of filaments, in particular fibers, yarns, threads or the like. In particular, the textile material is or includes one or more fusible materials to facilitate a welding or lamination process. The at least one meltable textile material is preferably formed from plastic (polymer), in particular from thermoplastic material. For example, polyester, in particular polyethylene terephthalate or a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) may be provided. The melting temperature of the fusible material is preferably adapted to the material properties of the individual pages. The melting temperatures of the tab element and the single side are preferably similar in size, in particular within a temperature range of 50 degrees. As a result, the welding and / or laminating process can be carried out easily. Furthermore, it can be provided that the tab is made of different materials, such as a blended fabric. In this case, one of the two materials melts in the production of the compound at least in the transition region, and the other material does not connect. In a woven fabric, for example, warp and weft threads may be made of different materials. For example, the weft threads of a blend fabric can remain unchanged during welding, while the warp threads are lower melting than the weft threads and thereby on or melt and connect to the single side. The weft threads extend in this case from the free tab area in the overlapping area. In such a mixed fabric, for example, the weft threads can also consist of metallic threads.

A preferred embodiment for blended fabric may be that a glass mesh fabric is provided with partial heating wires.

In this embodiment, it is provided that, for example, the back side pocket 29 has a recess 45 which extends along a longitudinal edge 46 of the single side 27 and corresponds in width to the overlapping area 30. As a result, depending on the materials used, it can be achieved that an upper side of the tab element 32 is flush with the lower side of the rear side booklet 29 after the tab 23 has been connected to the single side 27.

Alternatively it can be provided that the back side booklet 29 is set back relative to the longitudinal edge 46, which is formed by the front side booklet 28, and forms the recess 45.

Subsequently, the tab portion 34 of the tab member 32 is applied to the at least one first electrical guide element 33. On the tab portion 34, a further electrical guide element 33 may be applied before this and the compensating layer 47 is covered with the back side booklet 29. Alternatively, only one electrical conduction element 33 may be positioned to the tab portion 34. Furthermore, it may alternatively be provided that the single side 27 is produced without a compensating layer 47.
