Abstract

Description

Papier, insbesondere Wertpapier Paper, in particular securities
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Papier, insbes. Papierblatt, vorzugsweiseThe invention relates to paper, especially paper sheet, preferably
Wertpapier, z.B. Banknote, Scheck od.dgl.Security, e.g. Banknote, check or the like
Sicherheitsdokumente können als Sicherheitselement einen Faden oder ein Band aufweisen, das im Dokument eingebettet ist (DE-OS 39 06 695). Das Sicherhei. '- sment kann dtoei aus einer lichtdurchlässigen Kunststoffolie bestehen, die eine sich über das Element erstreckende opake Beschichtung mit Aussparungen in Form von einzubringenden Zeichen und Muster aufweist. Außerdem enthält das Sicherheitselement in zu den Aussparungen deckungsgleichen Bereichen farbgebende und/oder lumineszierende Substanzen, durch die sich die Zeichen und/oder Muster unter geeigneten Lichtbedingungen vom Sicherheitsdokument und von der opaken Beschichtung in farblich kontrastierender Form unterscheiden. Dadurch wird erreicht, daß die Zeichen, Muster od.dgl. im Durchlicht sichtbar sind und visuell und/oder maschinell gelesen werden können.Security documents can have a thread or a tape as security element that is embedded in the document (DE-OS 39 06 695). The security. '- sment can consist of a translucent plastic film that has an opaque coating extending over the element with recesses in the form of characters and patterns to be introduced. In addition, the security element contains coloring and / or luminescent substances in areas congruent with the cutouts, by means of which the characters and / or patterns differ from the security document and from the opaque coating in a color-contrasting form under suitable lighting conditions. This ensures that the characters, patterns or the like. are visible in transmitted light and can be read visually and / or by machine.
Auf dem Wertpapiersektor entstehen weiters auch Probleme dadurch, daß sich Farbkopiergeräte von immer besser werdender Qualität und Ausstattung verbreiten, die Kopien liefern, die insbesondere bei flüchtiger Betrachtung, wie sie im Geschäftsleben üblich ist, sich vom Original kaum unterscheiden lassen. Es werden daher vermehrt Anstrengungen unternommen, Verfahren zu entwickeln, die ein Kopieren von Wertpapieren unmöglich machen oder zumindest Kopien liefern, die sich in auffälliger Weise vom Original unterscheiden. So wurde schon vorgeschlagen (DE-OS 33 14 670), auf zumindest einen Teil der Oberfläche eines vertraulichen Dokumentes ein Material aufzutragen, das beim Belichten mit Illuminationslicht befähigt ist, Licht mit einer Wellenlänge zu emittieren, die verschieden ist von der Wellenlänge des Illuminationslichts. Setzt man ein solcherart präpariertes Dokument dem Illuminationslicht eines Kopierers aus und fängt das Emissionslicht mit einem Detektor auf, so kann dieser Signale erzeugen, die verwertbar sind, um mindestens einen der Schritte, die zur Vervielfältigung des Originaldokumentes im Kopierer erforderlich sind, zu unterbrechen oder aufzuheben. Das Präparieren des Dokumentes kann hiebei schwierig werden, auch kann sich das aufgetragene Material verändern oder abblättern, womit die Sicherheitsfunktion nicht mehr erfüllbar ist. Die Erfindung zeigt einen Weg, diesen Nachteil zu vermeiden. Es wird vorgeschlagen, das Papier mit mindestens einem Fenster zu versehen, welches das Papier(blatt) durchsetzt und von einer durchsichtigen Folie, z.B. einer Kunststoffolie oder einem transparenten Papier überbrückt ist. Bei Versuchen, ein derart ausgestaltetes Papier zu kopieren, entsteht an der Stelle, an der sich das Fenster befindet, ein Klecks, der bei Farbkopierern entsprechend färbig ist bzw. bei einem Schwarzweißkopierer dunkel wird, so daß das Papier sofort leicht als Kopie erkannt werden kann. Die (Umriß-)Form des Fensters kann beliebig sein, z.B. rund, oval, polygonal usw. Die Fensterform kann jedoch auch ein Symbol für eine Papiereigenschaft, z.B. den Wert des Papieres, sein. Bevorzugt durchsetzt die Folie bzw. das transparente Papier das Fenster und ist außerhalb des Fensterumrisses im Papier(blatt) eingebettet. Die durchsichtige Folie bzw. das transparente Papier kann auch das Fenster ausfüllen, so daß die Oberfläche eben, d.h. auch an der Fensterkontur frei von einer Stufe ist.Problems also arise in the securities sector due to the fact that color copiers of ever-improving quality and equipment are spreading, which provide copies which, particularly when viewed briefly, as is customary in business life, can hardly be distinguished from the original. Efforts are therefore being made to develop methods that make it impossible to copy securities or at least provide copies that differ conspicuously from the original. It has already been proposed (DE-OS 33 14 670) to apply to at least part of the surface of a confidential document a material which, when exposed to illuminating light, is capable of emitting light with a wavelength that is different from the wavelength of the illuminating light. If you expose such a prepared document to the illumination light of a copier and catch the emission light with a detector, it can generate signals that can be used by at least interrupt or cancel one of the steps required to copy the original document in the copier. Preparing the document can be difficult, the applied material can also change or peel off, which means that the security function can no longer be performed. The invention shows a way to avoid this disadvantage. It is proposed to provide the paper with at least one window which penetrates the paper (sheet) and is bridged by a transparent film, for example a plastic film or a transparent paper. When trying to copy such a paper, there is a blob at the point where the window is located, which is colored with color copiers or darkens with a black and white copier, so that the paper can be easily recognized as a copy . The (outline) shape of the window can be any, for example round, oval, polygonal, etc. However, the window shape can also be a symbol for a paper property, for example the value of the paper. The film or the transparent paper preferably penetrates the window and is embedded in the paper (sheet) outside the window outline. The transparent film or the transparent paper can also fill the window, so that the surface is flat, ie also free of a step on the window contour.
Eine weitere Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Papieres zeichnet sich dadurch aus, daß die durchsichtige Folie bzw. das transparente Papier an der Ober- und/oder Unterseite des Papieres, das Fenster überspannend, befestigt ist.Another embodiment of the paper according to the invention is characterized in that the transparent film or the transparent paper is attached to the top and / or bottom of the paper, spanning the window.
Das Papier (Wertpapier) kann auch als Sandwich, bestehend aus einer normalen Papierschicht mit ausgespartem Fenster und einer zweiten, von einer Folie oder einem transparenten Papier gebildeten Schicht, aufgebaut sein. Die das Fenster überbrückende Folie bzw. das das Fenster überbrückende Papier kann im Fensterbereich mit einem bevorzugt maschinenlesbaren Aufdruck bzw. mit einem applizierten, zusätzlichen Sicherheitsmerkmal versehen sein.The paper (security) can also be constructed as a sandwich, consisting of a normal paper layer with a recessed window and a second layer formed by a film or a transparent paper. The film bridging the window or the paper bridging the window can be provided in the window area with a preferably machine-readable imprint or with an applied, additional security feature.
