Definitions

  • the invention relates to a numbering device for securities and banknotes, in particular banknotes, with at least one numbering device, the number rolls of which are switched by a number after the printing of a number, and with an inking unit which has at least one inking roller which colors the 'number rolls'.
  • Such numbering devices with which freshly printed banknotes or other banknotes are continuously printed with a serial number and in which the numbering units are usually arranged on a rotating numbering unit cylinder, have long been known (for example DE-PS 1 486 894).
  • the number printed on each banknote also contributes to increasing the security against forgery.
  • a number of measures are already known that are widely used.
  • the digits of the printed number can be special graphic design or, by using the appropriate numbering color, have special color effects.
  • Magnetic components or other additives that can be determined by special physical measurement methods are also often added to the numbering color.
  • a perfect number sequence ensures that every number output in the relevant number sequence actually exists.
  • Another measure to increase counterfeit protection is to use special number constructions with a prefix and suffix.
  • the code number is the remainder that results from dividing the number by the modulus number, usually using the modulus number 9 or 11.
  • the code digits assigned to the consecutive document numbers therefore consist of the periodically repeating sequence of digits 0 to 8.
  • the code number sequence 0 to 10 results accordingly, whereby, in order to avoid two-digit code numbers, 10 is replaced by a letter can be.
  • modulus system is the "division-subtraction-residual system". Then the number is divided by the modulus number and then the resulting division remainder is subtracted from the modulus number; the result, that is to say the resulting difference, is the code number. This results in the decreasing code number sequence 8 to 0 for the modulus number 9 as the document number progresses.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a numbering device of the type described above using features known per se from other areas, with which banknotes can be provided with numbers without great technical effort, with numbers that are particularly good guarantee high security against counterfeiting; in particular, these counterfeit-proof numbers should be able to be printed on with normal, mechanically driven numbering units, which are only slightly modified compared to conventional, known numbering units.
  • the numbering mechanism has at least one code number roll arranged coaxially with the normal number rolls and an adjusting device assigned to it, which can be controlled as a function of the respective setting of the normal number rolls and is set up to print the code number roll before each printing Set code number. which in a predeterminable relationship to that of the normal digits printing number, and that an additional inking unit is provided with at least one inking roller for inking the code number roll with a color different from the color of the normal number imprint.
  • the inking rollers for the normal number rollers and the code number roller of all numbering units arranged on a numbering unit cylinder are preferably arranged one after the other in the circumferential direction and are cut out in such a way that only the normal number rollers or only the code number roller of the numbering units are touched by the inking rollers assigned to them.
  • a reader can be used for automatic testing, which responds to the color of the automatically readable code number.
  • This color can in particular be a color that is only visible when illuminated with ultraviolet light by fluorescence.
  • the normal number rolls and the code number roll can preferably be stored in the same numbering frame, so that the entire arrangement has a space-saving and compact structure.
  • the setting device for the code number roll can be a mechanical system which can be actuated by the normal number rolls.
  • the invention can be realized by allowing for the C odenumber calculating a simple modulus system, for example with the Modulusress 9, selects and a bank-note numbering box of known construction having an additional code digits role equips which inevitably by an indexing mechanism is kinematically connected to the one-digit roller of the numbering unit.
  • the arrangement can also be such that a preferably programmable electronic computing circuit, for example simply in the form of a small printed circuit or a semiconductor chip, is installed in the numbering unit and is set up to send control commands to the serial number as a function of the normal serial number to be printed
  • the normal digit rolls can be designed and arranged in such a way that they emit or generate electrical signals via their respective setting.
  • the setting device for the code number roll is mechanically independent of the normal number rolls and is designed such that it can be actuated by the possibly amplified electrical output signals of the computing circuit.
  • any complicated calculation rules for the code can be based on the number, which can then easily be multi-digit and can be printed using two or more separately adjustable code digit rolls.
  • serial number appears on a note in several places on the front and back. In these cases it is sufficient if, for example, only one or two of the numbers printed on each note have the code numbers, so that the numbering device in question is equipped accordingly with normal numbering units and with numbering units according to the invention.
  • This number is equal to that during one revolution of the numbering cylinder 3 number of serial numbers to be printed and, of course, depends on the one hand on the number of banknote prints on a sheet of banknotes passing through the numbering device and on the other hand on how often a certain serial number appears at different places on a banknote. All numbering units are switched in a known manner by one number for each revolution of the numbering unit cylinder 3.
  • the directions of rotation of the printing cylinder 2 and the numbering cylinder 3 are indicated in FIG. 1 by arrows.
  • FIG. 3 a numbering 5, which is attached to the circumference of the numbering cylinder 3, is shown in more detail.
  • the numbering frame 6 ten normal digit rolls 8 with the one-digit roll 8a lying on the right in FIG. 3 and coaxially with it, along with the one-digit roll 8a, an additional code number roll 9 are rotatably mounted about the axis 7 ' .
  • the indexing mechanism of the normal Z iffernrollen 8 which print in a known manner, the serial numbers, as usual, is arranged to continuously switch the serial number in each circulation of the Numerierwerkszylinders 3 to a number when an extension lever 12 by a stationary cam 13 fixed to a support 14 is attached, is deflected each time the N umerierwerk 5.
  • a mechanical setting device 10 which can be controlled by the normal number rolls 8, is provided in such a way that each time the numbering unit 5 is advanced, a code number that has a predetermined fixed mathematical relationship to the serial number to be printed in each case, that is to say to the respective setting of the normal digit rolls 8 stands, is brought into the printing position.
  • the code number determination is based on a simple modulus system, namely is based on the "division rest system" mentioned in the introduction with the modulus number 9, and accordingly the code number role 9 is a code number role lying next to the one-number role 8a and has the nine code numbers 0 to 8 distributed over its circumference.
  • the setting device simply consists of a claw or gear translation between the one-digit roller 8a and the code-digit roller 9 such that each time the one-digit roller 8a is advanced, the code-digit roller 9 is inevitably taken along by a correspondingly larger indexing angle, namely by 40 °.
  • the code number roller is only advanced by an angle of 360 ° / 11 by means of a claw or gear reduction.
  • Other transmission or reduction gears can also be provided between the one-digit roller and the code number roller.
  • the numbering cylinder 3 works according to Figure 1 with two inking units 15 and 18.
  • the inking unit 15 has two ink rollers 16 and 17, which the normal Z iffernrollen 8 of the numbering with für.920 color to color, and the other inking system 18, a code number rollers 9 the numbering 19 with a different color inking form roller, the inking unit 18 with its inking roller According to FIGS. 1 and 2, 19 lies behind the inking unit 15 in the direction of rotation of the numbering cylinder 3.
  • the inking rollers 16 and 17 are cut out in such a way that they only come into contact with the normal numbered rollers 8, in the example according to Figure 2 seven adjacent numbering units can be colored.
  • the inking roller 19, on the other hand, is cut out such that only the code number roller 9 of the numbering units is inked in each case.
  • the code number is expediently designed such that it can be automatically read by a computer for checking purposes, and is preferably printed with a color that is not visible in normal light, for example with a color that becomes visible only when irradiated with ultraviolet light, on which a suitable reading device is printed appeals.
  • the arrangement can also be such that a small electronic computing circuit is provided in the numbering unit, which is designed or programmed in accordance with the desired mathematical relationship between the code number and the respective serial number.
  • This arithmetic circuit receives electrical input signals which correspond to the respective setting of the normal digit rolls 8 and emits electrical output signals for controlling the setting device for the code number roll 9. It is also possible to provide only one central computing circuit which controls the code number roles of all numbering units of the numbering device.
