Definitions
- the present invention relates to an anti-forgery system for paper money or other documents.
- Conventional systems in this field substantially consist in printing the bank notes or documents on watermarked paper or in inserting a thin aluminum lamina in the paper.
- a security device constituted by incorporating ferromagnetic means in the form of a thread, planchette or fibre into a security paper is disclosed by the document GB-A-1 127 043.
- the disclosed ferromagnetic means however are shown to be detectable only by complex detection devices.
- the problem faced by the system according to the present invention consists in preventing the forgery of any kind of paper money or bank note, document of credit, or of any kind of document on a paper support to which it is applied, in particular to allow the safe identifiability of the documents of credit, bank notes or other documents.
- This problem is solved by the system having the features indicated in claim 1.
- the present invention comprises numerous solutions which constitute, even when taken individually but especially all together, an effective remedy against forgery.
- Two or more concentric circles arranged in groups A, A 1 are included in the paper in one or more parts of the bank note or document, for example in a central region to the right and to the left of the note.
- the thickness is preferably approximately 15 microns but a different value may be selected, so long as it is adequate for the function; the diameter, which is of approximately 1 cm if possible, and the width of the strip, which is preferably approximately 1 mm, can indeed have different dimensions so long as they are adequate for the document or bank note.
- a magnet or, in order to facilitate the operation, a rod with a magnet at one end or along a certain length (e.g. 8-10 cm) of said rod, close to the circles or to the continuous and discontinuous bands provided as described (made of material responsive to magnetic fields).
- a neutral fluorescent yellow band also known as "invisible ink” band (see the figure at D), which can be seen only upon exposure to ultraviolet rays, is provided along the entire perimeter of the bank note or in another part of the document, whereas an interruption of said band in pale blue (e.g. approximately 2 cm, shown in the figure at E) is left without fluorescence, so as to be blue-violet under ultraviolet rays.
- Said non-fluorescent pale-blue band E allows to rapidly sort the tickets or bank notes into bundles.
- Any side serial numbers for example in bank notes, are made of visible fluorescent blue, so as to verify its possible alteration, such as in the case of money laundering, to allow comparison with a central serial number of neutral fluorescent yellow ink (so-called invisible ink).
- the system according to the present invention also provides a particular kind of watermark, composed of four different thicknesses.
- Two or more circles of different thickness are provided in one or more points of the bank note, even in a position which is concentric to the previously described steel circles A, A 1 .
- the embodiment described herein includes an outermost circle with a thickness of e.g. approximately 110 microns and an innermost circle with a thickness of 60 microns; the paper, including the metal strips, has a thickness of 80 microns, whereas the intermediate parts vary between 70 and 100 microns.
- the dimensions and geometrical figures generally suggested in the present description must be considered as variable according to the different requirements in the various fields of application and according to the discretion of the engraver or designer.
- the system as described is applied during the production at the paper mill as regards watermarking and the application of the magnetic strips, and in the print shop as regards printing with the various fluorescent and non-fluorescent paints.

Claims (9)
- Fälschungsverhinderungssystem für Papiergeld, Wertdokumente, Eintritts- oder Fahrkarten oder Dokumente auf einem Papierträger, mit einer Vorrichtung aus ferromagnetischem Material, die in den Papierträger als Sicherungsvorrichtung eingearbeitet ist, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Vorrichtung aus ferromagnetischem Material in einer oder mehreren konzentrischen geometrischen Figuren, insbesondere in Kreisen (A, A1), angeordnet und aus Stahl oder einem anderen magnetischen Material hergestellt ist, so daß das Vorhandensein der geometrischen Figuren unmittelbar durch eine Magnetvorrichtung erfaßbar ist.
- Fälschungsverhinderungssystem nach Anspruch 1, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß das magnetische Material Stahl ist und daß die Kreise eine bevorzugte Dicke von 15 µm, einen bevorzugten Umfang von etwa 1 cm und eine bevorzugte Breite von etwa 1 mm oder andere geeignete Abmessungen haben.
- Fälschungsverhinderungssystem nach Anspruch 1, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß es einen durchgehenden oder unterbrochenen Streifen (B, C) auf der Banknote oder dem Dokument umfaßt, der aus magnetischem Material, insbesondere aus Stahl, hergestellt ist und eine Breite von vorzugsweise 1 mm und eine Dicke von vorzugsweise 15 µm oder andere Abmessungen hat, die abhängig von der Art und den Abmessungen der Dokumente gewählt sind.
- Fälschungsverhinderungssystem nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, das eine Überprüfung der Echtheit der Eintritts- oder Fahrkarten oder anderer Dokumente erlaubt, indem ein Magnet, der z.B. am Ende eines in geeigneter Weise vorgesehenen Stabes oder entlang eines Teils dieses Stabes vorgesehen ist, auf die Kreise oder auf die unterbrochenen Streifen bzw. auf die anderen gemäß dem System vorgesehenen Figuren zubewegt wird.
- Fälschungsverhinderungssystem nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, dadurch gekennzeichnet, das längs des Randes der Eintritts- oder Fahrkarte oder des Dokumentes ein oder mehrere Streifen (D) aus neutralem fluoreszierendem Gelb (sogenannter unsichtbarer Tinte) vorgesehen sind, die nur bei Bestrahlung mit UV-Licht zu sehen sind, während eine Unterbrechung (E) des Streifens (D), die mit nicht fluoreszierendem blaßblauem Farbstoff versehen ist und bei Bestrahlung mit UV-Licht daher violett erscheint, ein rasches Sortieren der Eintritts- oder Fahrkarten oder Banknoten zu Bündeln erlaubt.
- Fälschungsverhinderungssystem nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, gekennzeichnet durch ein mit Wasserzeichen versehenes Papier mit vier verschiedenen Dicken an einer oder mehreren Stellen der Eintritts- oder Fahrkarte, z.B. bei den Kreisen (A, A1) oder geometrischen Figuren, wobei ein äußerer Kreis eine Dicke von etwa 110 µm und ein innerer Kreis eine Dicke von etwa 60 µm hat, wobei die Dicke des Papiers mit den darin vorgesehenen Kreisen aus Stahl etwa 80 µm beträgt und die dazwischenliegenden Bereiche eine Dicke zwischen etwa 70 und 100 µm haben, und wobei die Gesamtstruktur durch Tasten unterscheidbar ist, indem man die Eintritts- oder Fahrkarte zwischen zwei Fingern an der richtigen Stelle abtastet.
- Fälschungsverhinderungssystem nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, wobei die Banknoten oder Dokumente seitliche Seriennummern aus einem sichtbaren fluoreszierenden blauen Farbstoff haben, die eine Überprüfung der Echtheit oder die Feststellung einer eventuellen Fälschung ermöglichen, indem man sie mit einer z.B. in der Mitte in neutralem fluoreszierendem Gelb vorgesehenen Nummer vergleicht, die bei Bestrahlung mit UV-Licht sichtbar ist, um so eine Fälschung der Nummern z.B. bei der Geldwäsche zu verhindern.
- Fälschungsverhinderungssystem nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Überprüfung auf Echtheit mit Hilfe von elektronischen Vorrichtungen durchgeführt wird, die für diesen Zweck programmiert sind, oder indem man die gegenwärtig zum Zählen oder Überprüfen von Banknoten verwendeten Vorrichtungen entsprechend umrüstet.
- Fälschungsverhinderungssystem nach den vorhergehenden Ansprüchen, jedoch mit anderen Figuren und Abmessungen, die auf die unterschiedlichen Arten von Dokumenten abgestimmt sind, bei denen es angewendet wird, und die nach dem Belieben des Graveurs und Musterentwerfers gewählt sind.
