  • Each of the first embossed structures consists of at least two flanks running towards one another at a certain angle.
  • one flank of the first embossed structures has an additional embossing structure which is placed on the flank of the first embossed structures or inserted into the flank of the first embossing structures
  • the geometry of the at least one additional embossed structure is at least almost inversely the geomet- Rie executed that edge of the first embossed structure on which the at least one additional embossed structure is placed or inserted.
  • a tilted image generated in intaglio printing is known in which a transitory image additionally has an embossed line surface that is visible, as well as line structures that are differently angled.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide security elements for data carriers which combine tilting effects in an advantageous manner and can be produced under the machine and speed specifications of a typical printing works. Furthermore, it is an object of the invention to develop a generic security element such that the protection against counterfeiting is further increased.
  • the security element consists of two different embossed structures which are present in two adjacent regions.
  • the first embossing structures represent independent or at least almost independent of the viewing or tilting angle in at least one plane first information.
  • This may have a clear outer structure, such as lines, or represent filled areas that implemented with hatchings, grids, pictograms or different symbols become.
  • the Viewing the security element takes place here with different angles, wherein the security element is tilted in a plane or the viewing angle is changed, for example, by pivoting it along the longitudinal or the transverse axis, whereby a viewer always recognizes the first information.
  • the second embossing structures represent a second information at a specific viewing or tilting angle range, for example in an angle range between 5 ° and 60 °, whereby the information of the first embossing structures and the information of the second embossing patterns complement one another in this viewing angle. Outside the determined viewing or tilting angle range, the second embossing structures preferably show a third information, which is different from the first and second information, for example a colorless or colored area, a frame or a freeform or any graphic image.
  • adjacent means that two regions are at least partially adjacent to one another and also partially, but not completely, overlapping in the separation zone between the two regions, Also, two disjoint regions that are not immediately adjacent to each other are possible, in this case the illustrations of the two areas each only a part of a total information and complement each other when viewed together to a total information.
  • both pieces of information each represent a partial image of an overall image, and the overall picture results in the interaction of the two partial images.
  • one image represents one part of a building or a value number
  • the other image represents the missing part of the building or the value number
  • the one image represents the trunk of a tree and the other image is the leaves of the tree
  • the one image represents the body of a car and the other image the wheels of which.
  • the second embossing structures are designed as FIT-latent in accordance with the subject matter of WO 2013/045055 A1.
  • the second embossing structures consist of at least two flanks, which converge in at least one particular angle.
  • an edge of the first embossed structures has an additional embossed structure, which is placed on the flank of the embossed structures or inserted into the flank of the embossed structures.
  • the geometry of the additional embossed structure is carried out at least almost inversely to the geometry of that flank of the embossed structure on which the additional embossed structure is placed or inserted. Further embodiments are described in WO 2013/045055 AI.
  • the peculiarity of the invention lies in a division of a total information into two sub-information in two sub-areas.
  • the first subregion can be recognized independently or at least almost independently of the viewing or tilting angle, for example as a tactile structure, as a matt or glossy surface, as a three-dimensional structure or as a line structure.
  • the second subarea only appears after tilting by a specific viewing or tilt angle and, together with the first subarea, results in overall information.
  • the first embossing structures are at least partially executed in color-guiding intaglio printing.
  • the corresponding structures in the embossing plate or the embossing cylinder are partially filled with color, so that in the embossing process, the substrate is not only embossed or deformed, but his Surface is also provided with color or printed.
  • the second embossing structures can also be combined with a printed image which is arranged in register with the second embossing structures.
  • a particular advantage of the invention is that the function of the security element is further increased and allows more interesting uses, especially on highly reflective silver-colored surfaces. Furthermore, the security element is recognizable without aids for the consumer. In addition, all the advantages which are known from WO 2013/045055 A1 also result.
  • FIT-latent viewing in incident light is advantageous in which a consideration "with light in the back" takes place.Different brightness effects are shown in FIT-latent thereby rather by oblique and tilting of the patterns.Vision is present when the lighting and On the other hand, there is transparency when the substrate is illuminated from one side and viewed from the other side.
  • An optically variable effect in the sense of this invention is an effect in which the visual appearance changes upon tilting of the security element.
  • the substrate is particularly preferably made of paper made of cotton fibers, as used for example for banknotes, or of other natural fibers or of synthetic fibers or of a mixture of natural and synthetic fibers, or of at least one plastic film. Further preferably, the substrate consists of a combination of at least two superimposed and interconnected different substrates, a so-called hybrid.
  • the substrate is made of, for example, a combination of plastic film-paper plastic film, ie, a substrate of paper is covered on both sides by a plastic film, or a combination of paper-plastic film paper, ie, a substrate made of a plastic film on each of its covered by paper on both sides.
  • the weight of the substrate used are given, for example, in the document DE 102 43 653 A9, the statements of which are fully incorporated in this application in this regard.
