Definitions

  • the invention relates to a security element, according to claim 1, for documents of value, which combines tilting effects with one another in an advantageous manner.
  • WO 2013/045055 A1 describes a security element, also referred to as "FIT-latent", with an optically variable structure that has a multiplicity of first embossed structures.
  • Each of the first embossed structures consists of at least two flanks that converge at a specific angle.
  • a flank of the first embossed structure has an additional embossed structure which is placed on the flank of the first embossed structure or inserted into the flank of the first embossed structure.
  • the geometry of the at least one additional embossed structure is at least almost the inverse of the geometry executed that edge of the first embossed structure on which the at least one additional embossed structure is placed or used.
  • the security element consists of two different embossed structures that are present in two adjacent areas.
  • the first embossing structures are at least partially executed in color-carrying intaglio printing and represent first information independently or at least almost independently of the viewing or tilting angle in at least one plane.
  • This can have a clear external structure, for example lines, or represent filled areas with hatching , grids, pictograms or different symbols.
  • the security element is viewed from different angles, with the security element being tilted in one plane or the viewing angle being changed by being pivoted along the longitudinal or transverse axis, for example, with an observer always recognizing the first piece of information.
  • the second embossed structures represent second information at a specific viewing or tilting angle range, for example in an angular range between 5° and 60°, with the information of the first embossed structures and the information of the second embossed structures supplementing each other to form a total information at this viewing angle.
  • the second embossed structures preferably show third information that differs from the first and second information, for example a colorless or colored area, a frame or a free form or any graphic image.
  • adjacent means that two areas at least partially adjoin one another and can also partially, but not completely, overlap in the separating zone between the two areas.
  • Two separate areas that are not directly adjacent to one another are also possible.
  • the images of the two areas each show only part of a piece of overall information and, when viewed together, complement each other to form an overall piece of information.
  • both pieces of information each represent a partial image of an overall image and the overall image results from the interaction of the two partial images.
  • one image represents part of a building or value number and the other image represents the missing part of the building or value number
  • one image represents the trunk of a tree and the other image represents the leaves of the tree
  • one image represents the body of a car and the other image its wheels.
  • the second embossed structures are latent as FIT according to the subject of WO 2013/045055 A1 executed.
  • the second embossed structures consist of at least two flanks that converge at at least a specific angle.
  • a flank of the first embossed structures has an additional embossed structure that 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 at least approximately the inverse of the geometry of that flank of the embossed structure on which the additional embossed structure is placed or inserted. More examples are in the WO 2013/045055 A1 described.
  • the special feature of the invention lies in a division of total information into two pieces of information in two partial areas.
  • the first partial area 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 sub-area only appears after tilting by a certain viewing or tilting angle and, together with the first sub-area, results in overall information.
  • the first embossed structures are at least partially executed in color-carrying intaglio printing.
  • the corresponding structures in the embossing plate or the embossing cylinder are partially filled with ink, so that the substrate is not only embossed or deformed during the embossing process, but its Surface is also provided with color or printed.
  • the second embossed structures can also be combined with a printed image that is arranged in register with the second embossed structures.
  • a particular advantage of the invention is that the function of the security element is further increased and further interesting uses are made possible, especially on highly reflective silver-colored surfaces. Furthermore, the security element can be recognized by the consumer without any aids. In addition, there are also all the advantages that result from WO 2013/045055 A1 are known.
  • FIT-latent observation in incident light is advantageous, in which observation "with the light behind" takes place.
  • Top view is when the illumination and viewing is from the same side of the substrate.
  • see-through occurs when the substrate is illuminated from one side and viewed from the other side.
  • An optically variable effect within the meaning of this invention is an effect in which the visual appearance changes when the security element is tilted. For example, when the security element is tilted, its color changes, a bar appears to move from one side of the security element to another side, different characters are displayed when tilted, or there is a so-called pumping effect in the form of an enlarged or reduced outline of an image motif.
  • the substrate particularly preferably consists of paper made from cotton fibers, such as is used for banknotes, or from other natural fibers or from synthetic fibers or a mixture of natural and synthetic fibers, or from at least one plastic film.
  • the substrate preferably consists of a combination of at least two different substrates arranged one above the other and connected to one another, a so-called hybrid.
  • the substrate consists, for example, of a combination of plastic film-paper-plastic film, i.e. a substrate made of paper is covered by a plastic film on each of its two sides, or of a combination of paper-plastic film-paper, i.e. a substrate made of a plastic film is covered on each of its covered with paper on both sides.
  • the font DE 102 43 653 A9 states in particular that the paper layer usually has a weight of from 50 g/m 2 to 100 g/m 2 , preferably from 80 g/m 2 to 90 g/m 2 . Depending on the application, any other suitable weight can of course be used.
  • Documents of value for which such a security element can be used are, in particular, banknotes, stocks, bonds, certificates, vouchers, checks, high-value admission tickets, but also other papers at risk of forgery, such as passports and other identification documents, and cards, such as credit or debit cards, whose card body has at least one layer of security paper, and also product security elements such as labels, seals, packaging, packaging material, package inserts, foils, inlay material, silver paper and the like.
  • Information within the meaning of this invention is a pattern-shaped and visually perceptible representation. This can, for example, form an alphanumeric string of digits and/or letters, a graphic image, an image, text or other characters.
  • the information particularly preferably consists of positive and/or negative motifs.
  • a motif element itself is applied to the substrate, whereas in the case of a negative motif the area surrounding the motif element is applied to the substrate.
  • a positive motif is, for example, a letter printed in dark color on a light-colored substrate.
  • a negative motif is, for example, a dark-colored area applied to a light-colored substrate, which has an unprinted area in the form of a letter within the area.
  • the advantages of the invention are explained on the basis of the following exemplary embodiments and the supplementary figures.
  • the exemplary embodiments represent preferred embodiments.
  • the illustrations in the figures are highly schematic for better understanding and do not reflect the real situation.
  • the proportions shown in the figures do not correspond to the conditions present in reality and are used solely to improve clarity.
  • described embodiments are reduced to the essential core information for the sake of better comprehensibility.
  • much more complex patterns or images in single or multi-color printing can be used as a coating.
  • the information presented in the following examples can also be replaced by any amount of complex image or text information.
  • the production of the coating z. B. as an imprint usually uses the possibilities of printing technology.
  • the linear embossed elements that form the embossed structure generally have an embossing height in the range from 10 ⁇ m to 400 ⁇ m, preferably from 50 ⁇ m to 120 ⁇ m.
  • the spire 1 shows schematically a church as the main motif, which is divided into two parts 1 and 3.
  • the spire 1 is represented graphically as a tactile embossed structure with details such as a tower clock.
  • the tactile embossed structure consists, for example, of linear structures each with a line width of 200 ⁇ m.
  • the lower part 3 of the church is characterized by an optically variable embossed structure according to the subject WO 2013/045055 A1 generated.
  • the two embossed structures 1 and 3 are designed so that a viewer according to Fig. 1a in a top view, ie with a viewing angle perpendicular to the security element, only part of the motif, area 1 of the spire, can be seen, the lower area 2 appears as a neutral area.
  • the area 2 After tilting by a certain angle, for example 45° in relation to the top view of the security element, the area 2 changes its appearance in that an observer now looks at the parts of the flanks of the optically variable embossed structure which show the remaining part 3 of the church . This completes the overall picture according to Fig. 1b to the church.
  • FIG. 2 shows a similar security element as 1 , whereby the value "100” is shown schematically as the main motif instead of the church.
  • the denomination is formed in a partial area 4 by a tactile embossed structure.
  • the remaining area 2 of the denomination is characterized by an optically variable embossed structure according to the object WO 2013/045055 A1 generated and remains in plan view according to Figure 2a hidden as a neutral area so that only the upper right part of the value number is visible.
  • the area 2 After tilting by a certain angle, for example 45° in relation to the top view of the security element, the area 2 changes its appearance and appears in FIG Figure 2b the remaining part 5 of the value number "100", so that the complete value number "100” results.
  • FIG. 3 shows the security element 2 , wherein at an angular range between top view according to Figure 3a and for example 45° according to 3c an additional information according to Figure 3b appears.
  • the area 2 initially appears according to Figure 3a as a neutral surface and "covered” as well as in Figure 2a part of the denomination "100" so that only the upper part of the denomination is recognizable.
  • a first tilting by a first tilting angle for example 20° in relation to the plan view of the security element
  • information 6 in the form of a euro symbol appears in area 2 .
  • another optically variable embossed structure is arranged within the optically variable embossed structure in area 2 such that the information 6 only in the angular range of Figure 3b appears.
