Description

SUPPORT POUR INFORMATIONS IMPRIMEES, ET EN PARTICULIER POUR INFORMATIONS CONFIDENTIELLES MEDIUM FOR PRINTED INFORMATION, PARTICULARLY FOR CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
La présente invention concerne un support destiné à recevoir des informations imprimées, et en particulier des informations confidentielles. A l'heure actuelle, on utilise de plus en plus des documents imprimés contenant des informations confidentielles qui ne doivent être connues que de leur destinataire, et qui doivent donc notamment ne pas pouvoir être lues par les personnes en charge de la manipulation de ces documents, notamment les personnes chargées de l'impression et de l'envoi de ces documents.The present invention relates to a medium intended to receive printed information, and in particular confidential information. At the present time, printed documents containing confidential information are used more and more which must only be known to their recipient, and which must therefore in particular not be able to be read by the persons in charge of handling these documents. , including the people responsible for printing and sending these documents.
Comme exemples de ce type de documents, on peut citer les documents envoyés par les banques à leurs clients pour leur indiquer le code confidentiel de leur carte de crédit, ou encore les documents envoyés par les syndics d'immeubles aux occupants des immeubles afin de leur indiquer le code pour y accéder.As examples of this type of document, we can cite the documents sent by the banks to their customers to indicate their confidential code of their credit card, or the documents sent by the building trustees to the occupants of the buildings in order to indicate the code to access it.
Il existe de nombreuses solutions connues pour dissimuler les informations confidentielles portées par ces documents.There are many known solutions for hiding the confidential information carried by these documents.
L'une de ces solutions est décrite dans le document WO 99/64252. Elle consiste à utiliser une feuille de papier de format A4 comme support des informations, confidentielles et non confidentielles, à envoyer à un destinataire qui est le seul à devoir prendre connaissance des informations confidentielles. On imprime au recto de cette feuille de papier des informations non confidentielles ainsi que, sur une zone délimitée, un caviardage, c'est-à-dire une impression généralement noire composée de motifs entrelacés empêchant notamment la lecture par transparence. Sur une zone incluse dans la zone caviardée, on dépose un revêtement antiadhésif, puis on dépose sur toute la zone caviardée un film adhésif de polyester, transparent.One of these solutions is described in document WO 99/64252. It consists of using a sheet of A4 paper as a medium for information, confidential and non-confidential, to be sent to a recipient who is the only one who must be made aware of confidential information. Non-confidential information is printed on the front of this sheet of paper as well as, on a demarcated area, redaction, that is to say a generally black printing composed of interlaced patterns notably preventing reading by transparency. On a zone included in the redacted zone, a non-stick coating is deposited, then a transparent polyester adhesive film is deposited over the entire redacted zone.
Au verso de la feuille de papier, on forme des découpes sur une zone dont la projection sur le recto est comprise dans la zone munie du revêtement anti-adhésif. Ces découpes n'entament pas le film de polyester situé au recto.On the back of the sheet of paper, cutouts are formed on an area whose projection on the front is included in the area provided with the non-stick coating. These cutouts do not damage the polyester film on the front.
- Les informations confidentielles sont imprimées au recto, sur le film polyester et à l'intérieur de la projection sur le recto de la zone prédécoupée, appelée languette.- Confidential information is printed on the front, on the polyester film and inside the projection on the front of the pre-cut area, called the tab.
Du fait de la présence du caviardage et de la transparence du film de polyester, les informations confidentielles ne sont pas lisibles sur le document tel quel. En revanche, le destinataire du document qui désire prendre connaissance des informations confidentielles retire la languette au verso de la feuille, puis pose la feuille sur un fond blanc par exemple afin de les lire.Due to the presence of redaction and the transparency of the polyester film, confidential information is not legible on the document as it is. On the other hand, the recipient of the document who wishes to take note of the confidential information removes the tab on the back of the sheet, then places the sheet on a white background for example in order to read them.
La solution décrite dans ce document pose un certain nombre de problèmes.The solution described in this document poses a number of problems.
En premier lieu, elle nécessite le dépôt d'un revêtement anti-adhésif sur une partie du verso du film polyester. Or le dépôt de ce revêtement doit être parfaitement maîtrisé, sinon le support risque d'être rendu non confidentiel.First, it requires the deposition of a non-stick coating on part of the back of the polyester film. However, the deposition of this coating must be perfectly controlled, otherwise the support risks being made non-confidential.
En outre, la découpe à effectuer au verso est très délicate, et l'on risque toujours de découper en même temps le film de polyester, et donc de rendre la feuille inutilisable.In addition, the cutting to be performed on the back is very delicate, and there is always the risk of cutting the polyester film at the same time, and therefore rendering the sheet unusable.
Ainsi, le procédé de fabrication du support de l'art antérieur est complexe à mettre en oeuvre et peu fiable.Thus, the method of manufacturing the support of the prior art is complex to implement and unreliable.
Enfin, le découpage de la languette n'est pas une opération pratique à effectuer par le destinataire. La présente invention a donc pour but de mettre au point un support pour informations imprimées, et en particulier pour informations confidentielles, qui soit simple d'utilisation par son destinataire et ne demande pas la mise en œuvre d'étapes de fabrication complexes et délicates, et dont en outre la fabrication soit fiable. La présente invention propose à cet effet un support destiné à recevoir, sur une première de ses faces, des informations imprimées, lesdites informations imprimées contenant des informations confidentielles, ledit support comprenant : • une zone translucide destinée à recevoir par impression lesdites informations confidentielles, • des moyens de dissimulation desdites informations confidentielles occupant au moins partiellement ladite zone translucide de manière à rendre illisibles lesdites informations confidentielles, et susceptibles d'être retirés afin de laisser apparaître lesdites informations confidentielles, caractérisé en ce que lesdits moyens de dissimulation sont portés par ladite zone translucide au niveau de la deuxième des faces dudit support de sorte qu'ils sont apparents depuis ladite première face à travers ladite zone translucide, la matière dudit support étant éliminée au niveau de ladite zone translucide.Finally, cutting the tongue is not a practical operation to be carried out by the recipient. The present invention therefore aims to develop a medium for printed information, and in particular for confidential information, which is easy to use by its recipient and does not require the implementation of complex and delicate manufacturing steps, and the manufacture of which is also reliable. The present invention proposes for this purpose a support intended to receive, on a first of its faces, printed information, said printed information containing confidential information, said support comprising: • a translucent zone intended to receive by printing said confidential information, • means for concealing said confidential information occupying at least partially said translucent zone so as to make illegible said confidential information, and capable of being removed in order to reveal said confidential information, characterized in that said concealment means are carried by said zone translucent at the second of the faces of said support so that they are visible from said first face through said translucent zone, the material of said support being eliminated at said translucent zone.
Grâce à l'invention, les moyens de dissimulation étant portés directement par la zone translucide sur le verso du support, et la matière du support étant éliminée au niveau de la zone translucide, il n'est pas nécessaire d'avoir recours à l'application d'un revêtement anti-adhésif et à l'impression d'un caviardage comme dans l'art antérieur.Thanks to the invention, the concealment means being carried directly by the translucent zone on the back of the support, and the material of the support being eliminated at the translucent zone, it is not necessary to have recourse to the application of a non-stick coating and the printing of a redaction as in the prior art.
En outre, l'élimination de la matière du support peut être faite par découpe avant la mise en place de la zone translucide de sorte qu'il n'est pas nécessaire de prendre garde à ne pas découper cette dernière. De manière particulièrement avantageuse, les moyens de dissimulation comprennent un pavé d'encre à gratter disposé sur la zone translucide sur la deuxième face du support. Ainsi, la révélation des informations confidentielles par le destinataire est très simple à effectuer par grattage du pavé d'encre à gratter, et ce dernier n'a pas à manipuler de languette prédécoupée. De manière avantageuse, le pavé d'encre à gratter peut former un caviardage apparent depuis la première face du support. Ceci accroît encore la sécurisation du support selon l'invention.In addition, the removal of the material from the support can be done by cutting before the establishment of the translucent zone so that it is not necessary to take care not to cut the latter. In a particularly advantageous manner, the concealment means comprise a pad of scratch-off ink disposed on the translucent zone on the second face of the support. Thus, the disclosure of confidential information by the recipient is very simple to perform by scraping off the pad of ink to be scratched off, and the latter does not have to handle a precut tab. Advantageously, the ink pad to be scratched can form an apparent redaction from the first face of the support. This further increases the security of the support according to the invention.
Selon une caractéristique additionnelle, la zone translucide peut en outre être transparente.According to an additional characteristic, the translucent zone can also be transparent.
Selon un mode de réalisation possible, la zone translucide comprend un film d'un matériau translucide, par exemple le polyester.According to one possible embodiment, the translucent zone comprises a film of a translucent material, for example polyester.
Avantageusement, la surface de la zone translucide sur laquelle sont imprimées les informations confidentielles est mate. Ceci facilite l'impression et permet d'éviter une lecture frauduleuse en se plaçant de manière affleurante par rapport au support.Advantageously, the surface of the translucent zone on which the confidential information is printed is matt. This facilitates printing and makes it possible to avoid fraudulent reading by placing it flush with the support.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention apparaîtront dans la description qui va suivre de modes de réalisation de l'invention, donnés à titre illustratif et nullement limitatif. Dans les figures suivantes :Other characteristics and advantages of the present invention will appear in the following description of embodiments of the invention, given by way of illustration and in no way limitative. In the following figures:
• la figure 1 est une vue du recto d'un support selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention sous forme de feuille de papier• Figure 1 is a front view of a support according to a first embodiment of the invention in the form of a sheet of paper
• la figure 2 est une vue du verso du support de la figure 1• Figure 2 is a view of the back of the support of Figure 1
• la figure 3 est une vue en coupe du support des figures 1 et 2 au niveau de la zone translucide• Figure 3 is a sectional view of the support of Figures 1 and 2 at the translucent area
• la figure 4 est une vue en coupe d'un support selon un deuxième mode de réalisation de l'invention• Figure 4 is a sectional view of a support according to a second embodiment of the invention
• la figure 5 est une vue en coupe d'un support selon un troisième mode de réalisation de l'invention. Dans toutes ces figures, les éléments communs portent les mêmes numéros de référence.• Figure 5 is a sectional view of a support according to a third embodiment of the invention. In all these figures, the common elements have the same reference numbers.
On voit en figure 1 le recto R d'un support 1 selon l'invention formé d'une feuille de papier A4 par exemple. Ce support peut être destiné notamment à informer le titulaire d'une carte de crédit de son code confidentiel. Ainsi, le recto R porte des informations imprimées non confidentiellesWe see in Figure 1 the front R of a support 1 according to the invention formed of a sheet of A4 paper for example. This medium may be intended in particular to inform the holder of a credit card of his confidential code. Thus, front R carries non-confidential printed information
10, telles que par exemple le corps de la lettre adressée au titulaire de la carte l'informant qu'il peut trouver sur ce support le code confidentiel. Les informations non confidentielles 10 sont lisibles de toute personne, notamment celle chargée d'imprimer la lettré et de la mettre sous pli.10, such as for example the body of the letter addressed to the card holder informing him that he can find the confidential code on this medium. The non-confidential information 10 is legible to any person, in particular that responsible for printing the literate and putting it under cover.
Le recto R porte en outre des informations imprimées confidentiellesFront R also carries confidential printed information
11, dans le cas présent le code confidentiel 12345 de la carte de crédit du destinataire. Sur la figure 1, ces informations confidentielles 11 ont été représentées en couleur foncée de manière à être lisibles pour les commodités de la description, mais on expliquera plus loin comment elles sont dissimulées.11, in this case the confidential code 12345 of the recipient's credit card. In FIG. 1, this confidential information 11 has been shown in dark color so as to be readable for the convenience of the description, but it will be explained below how it is concealed.
Les informations confidentielles 11 ne doivent être lisibles que du destinataire dé la lettre. A cet effet, le support 1 comporte, selon l'invention, un film de polyester 12 formant une zone translucide, solidarisé au moyen d'un adhésif (non représenté) sur le recto R du support 1 au niveau d'une portion prédécoupée 13 de ce dernier (c'est-à-dire que la matière même du support 1, ici le papier, a été éliminée sur toute la portion 13) de manière à la recouvrir et à venir déborder au-delà de cette dernière. Les informations confidentielles 11 sont imprimées sur le film polyester 12 au droit de la portion 13.Confidential information 11 should only be readable by the recipient of the letter. To this end, the support 1 comprises, according to the invention, a polyester film 12 forming a translucent zone, secured by means of an adhesive (not shown) on the front side R of the support 1 at a pre-cut portion 13 of the latter (that is to say that the very material of the support 1, here the paper, has been eliminated over the entire portion 13) so as to cover it and come to overflow beyond the latter. Confidential information 11 is printed on polyester film 12 in line with portion 13.
La figure 2 montre le verso V du support 1 de la figure 1. Compte tenu de l'existence de la portion 13, une partie du film polyester 12 est directement apparente au verso V du support 1. Selon l'invention, cette portion est recouverte, en partie ou en totalité, par un pavé d'encre à gratter opaque 14, formant moyen de dissimulation des informations confidentielles 11. En effet, le pavé d'encre à gratter 14, qui est apparent par translucidité depuis le recto R du support 1 (comme on le voit en figure 1), rend les informations confidentielles 11 illisibles depuis le recto R. A cet effet, on choisit notamment la couleur de l'encre à gratter 14 de manière adéquate afin qu'il n'y ait pas de contraste suffisant entre cette dernière et l'encre servant à imprimer les informations confidentielles 11, contraste susceptible de rendre ces dernières lisibles même en présence du pavé 14.Figure 2 shows the back V of the support 1 of Figure 1. Given the existence of the portion 13, a portion of the polyester film 12 is directly apparent on the back V of the support 1. According to the invention, this portion is covered, in part or in whole, by an opaque scratch ink pad 14, forming a means of concealing confidential information 11. In fact, the scratch ink pad 14, which is apparent by translucency from the front R of the support 1 (as seen in FIG. 1), makes confidential information 11 unreadable from the front R. To this end, the color of the ink to be scratched off 14 is chosen adequately so that there is no no sufficient contrast between the latter and the ink used to print confidential information 11, contrast likely to make it legible even in the presence of block 14.
Les encres à gratter sont des matériaux bien connus dans le domaine de la dissimulation d'informations confidentielles, notamment dans le domaine des jeux instantanés (loteries, etc.), des cartes téléphoniques prépayées, etc....Scratch inks are materials well known in the field of concealing confidential information, in particular in the field of instant games (lotteries, etc.), prepaid telephone cards, etc.
Le destinataire du support 1, pour lire les informations confidentielles 11, n'a qu'à gratter le pavé d'encre à gratter 14 et à poser le support 1 avec son verso V contre un fond formant contraste avec l'encre ayant servi à imprimer les informations confidentielles 11 pour lire ces dernières.The recipient of the support 1, to read the confidential information 11, has only to scrape the pad of scratch ink 14 and to place the support 1 with its back V against a background forming a contrast with the ink used to print confidential information 11 to read it.
. On voit bien sur la figure 3, qui est une coupe transversale du support montré aux figures 1 et 2 au niveau de la zone translucide formée par le film de polyester 12, que le support 1 selon l'invention ne nécessite la mise en œuvre que de deux épaisseurs, à savoir le film de polyester 12 et le pavé d'encre à gratter 14.. It can be seen in FIG. 3, which is a cross section of the support shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 at the level of the translucent zone formed by the polyester film 12, that the support 1 according to the invention requires only the implementation of two thicknesses, namely the polyester film 12 and the scratch pad 14.
On comprend bien que le principe du support selon l'invention est fondamentalement différent de celui du support de l'art antérieur décrit plus haut ; en effet, les moyens de dissimulation sont portés directement par le verso V du support 1 sur le film de polyester 12 et la matière du support 1 est éliminée au niveau de ce dernier par formation de la portion 13. Au contraire, dans l'art antérieur, les moyens de dissimulation sont portés par le recto du support et la matière de ce dernier n'est pas éliminée (sauf par l'utilisateur) au niveau de la zone translucide.It will be understood that the principle of the support according to the invention is fundamentally different from that of the support of the prior art described above; in fact, the concealment means are carried directly by the back side V of the support 1 on the polyester film 12 and the material of the support 1 is eliminated at the latter by formation of the portion 13. On the contrary, in the art previous, the concealment means are carried by the front of the support and the material of the latter is not eliminated (except by the user) at the translucent area.
. Ainsi, seules deux opérations très simples sont nécessaires à la fabrication du support selon l'invention : découpe de la portion 13 puis collage du film de polyester 12 comportant son pavé d'encre à gratter 14. Ce type de film est très couramment utilisé, comme on l'a vu plus haut.. Thus, only two very simple operations are necessary for the manufacture of the support according to the invention: cutting of the portion 13 then bonding of the polyester film 12 comprising its scratch pad of ink 14. This type of film is very commonly used, as we saw above.
En revanche, dans l'art antérieur, il est indispensable de déposer un revêtement anti-adhésif sur une partie du film transparent avant de coller ce dernier sur le support, puis de former des découpes préalables dans le support destinées à faciliter l'élimination de la languette par le destinataire alors que la zone translucide est déjà en place, ce qui rend la découpe particulièrement délicate. Au contraire, dans l'invention, la découpe peut être préalable à la mise en place du film de polyester 12 de sorte qu'il n'y a pas de risque d'endommager ce dernier.On the other hand, in the prior art, it is essential to deposit a non-stick coating on a part of the transparent film before sticking the latter on the support, then to form preliminary cuts in the support intended to facilitate the elimination of the tongue by the recipient while the translucent zone is already in place, which makes cutting particularly delicate. On the contrary, in the invention, the cutting can be prior to the establishment of the polyester film 12 so that there is no risk of damaging the latter.
En outre, selon l'invention, il suffit que le destinataire gratte le pavé d'encre à gratter 14 pour révéler l'information confidentielle, et il n'a pas besoin d'effectuer une manœuvre délicate pour retirer la languette.In addition, according to the invention, it is sufficient for the recipient to scrape the scratch pad of ink 14 to reveal the confidential information, and he does not need to perform a delicate maneuver to remove the tab.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation du support selon l'invention, dont la coupe transversale est représentée en figure 4, un film polyester 12' est solidarisé au support 1 au verso V de ce dernier, et le pavé d'encre à gratter 14' est disposé de la même manière que dans le mode de réalisation des figures 1 à 3.According to another embodiment of the support according to the invention, the cross section of which is shown in FIG. 4, a polyester film 12 ′ is secured to the support 1 on the back V of the latter, and the pad of scratch-off ink 14 ′ is arranged in the same way as in the embodiment of Figures 1 to 3.
Ce mode de réalisation a l'avantage de permettre l'utilisation d'un film polyester de dimensions standard.This embodiment has the advantage of allowing the use of a polyester film of standard dimensions.
Dans le premier mode de réalisation illustré à la figure 3 en effet, le film de polyester 12 possède déjà un pavé d'encre à gratter 14 sur une de ses faces, avant son collage sur la portion 13. Ainsi, les dimensions du pavé d'encre à gratter 14 doivent être ajustées aux dimensions de la portion 13, et la quantité et la taille des informations confidentielles à protéger conditionnent la taille de la portion 13 et donc du film 12.In the first embodiment illustrated in FIG. 3, in fact, the polyester film 12 already has a pad of scratch-off ink 14 on one of its faces, before it is bonded to the portion 13. Thus, the dimensions of the pad d scratch ink 14 must be adjusted to the dimensions of the portion 13, and the quantity and size of the confidential information to be protected determines the size of the portion 13 and therefore of the film 12.
Au contraire, dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 4, il existe une plus grande souplesse de réalisation car une même dimension de film polyester 12' peut être utilisée pour différentes tailles de la portion 13. Selon encore un autre mode de réalisation du support selon l'invention, illustré en figure 5, on reprend la structure de la figure 4 et un film de polyester 12" est solidarisé au recto R du support 1. Ceci permet d'éviter les problèmes du mode de réalisation précédent lorsque l'adhésif utilisé pour solidariser le film 12' au verso V déborde sur la zone de ce dernier destinée à recevoir l'impression des informations confidentielles 11. Tous ces modes de réalisation présentent les mêmes avantages.On the contrary, in the embodiment of FIG. 4, there is greater flexibility of embodiment since the same dimension of polyester film 12 ′ can be used for different sizes of the portion 13. According to yet another embodiment of the support according to the invention, illustrated in FIG. 5, the structure of FIG. 4 is taken up again and a 12 "polyester film is secured to the front R of the support 1. This makes it possible to avoid the problems of the previous embodiment when the adhesive used to secure the film 12 ′ on the back V extends beyond the zone of the latter intended to receive the printing of confidential information 11. All of these embodiments have the same advantages.
Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation qui viennent d'être décrits.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments which have just been described.
En particulier, il est également possible d'imprimer les informations confidentielles « en négatif », c'est-à-dire en couleur claire sur fond foncé (par exemple en caractères blancs sur fond noir), l'encre à gratter du pavé 14 étant alors choisie pour se confondre avec celle du fond.In particular, it is also possible to print confidential information "in negative", that is to say in light color on a dark background (for example in white characters on a black background), the ink to be scratched off the block 14 then being chosen to merge with that of the background.
En outre, le pavé d'encre à gratter peut être tel qu'il forme également un caviardage qui accroît encore la sécurisation des informations confidentielles.In addition, the ink pad to be scratched can be such that it also forms a redaction which further increases the security of confidential information.
Par ailleurs, les moyens de dissimulation peuvent prendre une autre forme que l'encre à gratter. Ce peut être notamment ...Furthermore, the concealment means can take another form than the scratch ink. It can be in particular ...
Enfin, on pourra remplacer tout moyen par un moyen équivalent sans sortir du cadre de l'invention. Finally, any means can be replaced by equivalent means without departing from the scope of the invention.
