Definitions

  • the invention relates to a document of value, e.g. Banknote, with an optical security area, which has a first periodic optical structure, e.g. parallel dashed lines, parallel line raster or dot raster, and which contains a security symbol, the contours of which have a second periodic optical structure, e.g. enclose parallel dashed lines, parallel line grids or dot grids, which is arranged offset with respect to the first, the visibility of the security sign being increased by viewing with a see-through element.

  • an optical security area which has a first periodic optical structure, e.g. parallel dashed lines, parallel line raster or dot raster, and which contains a security symbol, the contours of which have a second periodic optical structure, e.g. enclose parallel dashed lines, parallel line grids or dot grids, which is arranged offset with respect to the first, the visibility of the security sign being increased by viewing with a see-
  • Security signs of the type mentioned at the outset are also referred to as "hidden images", the existence of which within the security area of a value document is difficult to prove with the naked eye.
  • These may be hidden lettering, images or geometric figures and these stand out when viewed with a
  • the see-through element can be formed from a grating, from a lenticular lens or similar auxiliary devices, by means of which the displacement between the first and the second periodic, optical structure is made clearly visible
  • the see-through element creates a clearly recognizable contrast on the security area of the document of value, on the basis of which the hidden image is visible to the naked eye.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a document of value of the type mentioned at the outset, which has increased security against forgery.
  • the see-through element is applied to an area of the security area in such a way that the part of the security sign contained in the area covered by the see-through element can be seen with the naked eye.
  • the separately produced see-through element is applied to the document of value according to the invention, so that it is firmly connected to it.
  • Various technologies can be used for this, ranging from gluing to hot stamping.
  • A is also conceivable layered structure of the see-through element on the value document. Due to the see-through element applied to the surface of the document of value, part of the security sign on the document of value is constantly recognizable, while the rest remains hidden from the naked eye.
  • the authenticity is checked with an additional see-through element, for example using a transparent film or card with a line grid or line grating, lenticular lens, or the like, through which the security area is viewed. If the observation with the additional see-through element at the transition point between the area covered by the applied see-through element and the rest of the safety area shows a discontinuity in the course of the contours of the safety sign, then there is a lie Wrong value document, because in the case of a real value document, the visible and invisible part of the security sign when viewed through an additional see-through element placed on the value document, for example, gives the complete and undisturbed contours of the security sign.
  • an additional see-through element for example using a transparent film or card with a line grid or line grating, lenticular lens, or the like
  • the see-through element has a similar or identical optical structuring as the first or second periodic optical structure.
  • the two-dimensional design required for the first and second periodic, optical structure can thus also be used for the applied see-through element, as a result of which the thickness of the see-through element can be kept very small. It therefore only protrudes imperceptibly from the document of value and therefore has no disruptive effect when the document of value is used.
  • the security area can also be formed in a recess in the value document surface and the see-through element can be embedded in this recess.
  • the first periodic optical structure and the second periodic optical structure can each consist of parallel dashed lines, parallel line grids or dot grids, the distance between adjacent dashed lines, parallel line grids or dot grids preferably being that
  • Line grids and grids of this type can be produced very simply using printing technology and produce a clearly recognizable contrast.
  • the parallel line pattern or dot pattern of the first periodic, optical structure are offset by an offset distance (L) from the dashed lines, the parallel line pattern or dot pattern of the second periodic, optical structure are offset in parallel.
  • the parallel displacement of the first and the second periodic, optical structure results in a very clearly recognizable contrast when viewed through a see-through element, in particular if, according to a development of the invention, the displacement distance (L) is approximately equal to half the distance (a) between the dashed lines, the parallel
  • a variant of the invention can also consist in that the see-through element through a transparent film with parallel dashed lines, parallel line grid or
  • Point grid is formed, which e.g. is glued to the value document.
  • Another variant of the invention can be formed in that the see-through element is preferably metallized by a film provided with parallel, elongated slots
  • This type of see-through element can be easily hot stamped onto the surface of the value document according to the invention.
  • the film can be part of a hologram film that is stamped on the value document. This can do that
  • Hologram and the see-through element can be applied to the value document in one operation.
  • 1 shows a plan view of a detail of a value document according to the prior art
  • 2 and 4 each show a top view or partial top view of embodiments of a see-through element for a document of value according to the invention
  • 3 shows a plan view of an embodiment of the value document according to the invention
  • 5 shows a plan view of another embodiment of the security area of a document of value according to the invention
  • FIG. 6 shows a top view of the security area according to FIG. 5 with an applied see-through element
  • FIG. 7 shows a plan view of the security area according to FIG. 6 with an additional see-through element
  • FIGS. 8 to 10 a plan view of a further embodiment of the security area of a document of value according to the invention, corresponding to FIGS. 5 to 7.
  • Fig.l shows a section of an optical security area 3 of a document of value in enlargement, as is known from the prior art.
  • the security area 3 is crossed by white curved lines 8 and black curved lines 7, which are part of a higher-level graphic design of the value document, which have no significance for the invention.
  • the security area 3 has a first periodic optical structure in the form of printed, parallel dashed lines 1, which are shown in black in FIG. 1 on a white background.
  • the periodicity consists in the same spacing of the dashed lines 1, the distance (a) between adjacent dashed lines 1 preferably being 1.5 times the line thickness of the dashed lines 1.
  • the security area 3 contains a security sign 5, the contours of which enclose a second optical structure, which in FIG. 1 are realized in the form of printed, parallel dashed lines 2 in black color on a white background, which have the same mutual spacing a as the dashed lines.
  • the dislocation distance L is approximately (a / 2).
  • the color contrast between the grating lines 1 and the grating lines 2 and the background can be chosen as desired within the scope of the invention.
  • the first and the second periodic, optical structure can, however, also be implemented, for example, in the form of point grids, as in FIG. 3, parallel line grids or in another optically periodic form, the second optical, periodic structure in each case by the contours of the security symbol is delimited from the first optical, periodic structure.
  • the security symbol 5 is relatively easy to recognize. With a suitable choice of the line spacing and the line thickness, the safety sign 5 disappears almost completely in the safety area 3 and cannot be seen with the naked eye.
  • the recognizability of the security sign 5 is increased by viewing with a see-through element 4, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the see-through element 4 having a similar or identical optical structuring to the first or second optical structure ,
  • a see-through element 4 having a similar or identical optical structuring to the first or second optical structure .
  • other suitable see-through elements e.g. Find lenticular lenses.
  • the see-through element is formed by a transparent film 4 with parallel dashed lines 9 which are arranged parallel to one another at a distance (a). If the film 4 is placed on the security area 3 and the dashed lines 9 are brought in parallel to the dashed lines 1, 2, depending on the displacement of the dashed lines 9 and the dashed lines 1 and 2, the security sign 5 is either darker or can be seen lighter than the white background and thus significantly increases its recognizability.
  • the film 4 can also have another optically periodic shape, e.g. Have dot matrix or the like.
  • the see-through element 4 is applied to an area of the security area 3 in such a way that the part of the security sign 5 contained in the area covered by the see-through element 4 can be seen with the naked eye (FIG. 3).
  • the see-through element 4 which is produced separately from the document of value, is applied to the security area 3 in partial coverage thereof, the method of application being subject to no restrictions.
  • the first and the second optical, periodic structure 1, 2 are formed by point grids offset from one another.
  • the see-through element 4 covers the lower half of the security sign 5 hidden in the security area 3, which is composed of the letter sequence “oebs”.
  • a security area 3 designed in this way has a high level of security against forgery, since that
  • Security area 3 can very easily e.g. can be demonstrated by viewing with a lenticular lens. Even small deviations result in a strongly distorted contrast in the transition area.
  • FIG. 4 shows another variant of a see-through element 4, which is formed by a film 4 provided with parallel, elongated slots 10, preferably a metallized plastic film.
  • a see-through element 4 is formed by a film 4 provided with parallel, elongated slots 10, preferably a metallized plastic film.
  • Such a structure can also be used for short distances e.g. manufactured very precisely by etching or selective demetallization and e.g. hot stamped on a value document. It is possible to use slots 10 or demetallized
  • FIG. 5 shows the security area 3 of another value document according to the invention. 6, the see-through element 1 can be applied to it, so that a
  • Part of the security sign 5 is always visible to the naked eye.
  • the security area according to FIG. 7 is viewed through the additional see-through element 6, as a result of which the entire security sign 5 can be seen.
  • FIGS. 8 to 10 show a further embodiment of the security area 3 of a value document according to the invention analogous to FIGS. 5 to 7.
  • additional see-through element 6 markings 61 which can be made in accordance with markings 31 on the document of value according to the invention.
  • the security area 3, in particular the see-through element 4 and / or the line or dot grid, can additionally be provided with further security features such as fluorescence or effect colors in order to further increase security.
