Description

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Die Erfindung geht aus von einem Einlageblatt für ein buchartiges Identifikationsdokument, einem buchartigen Identifikationsdokument und einem Verfahren zur Herstellung eines buchartigen Identifikationsdokuments nach dem Oberbegriff der unabhängigen Ansprüche.The invention is based on an insert sheet for a book-type identification document, a book-type identification document and a method for producing a book-type identification document according to the preamble of the independent claims.

Buchartige ldentifikationsdokumente bestehen im Allgemeinen aus einem Kunststoff- oder Papp- oder Leinenumschlag und Datenseiten aus Papier und/oder Kunststoff. Die Datenseiten werden mittels einer Naht am Umschlag oder an der inneren Umschlagseite befestigt. Die Datenseiten weisen eine Personendatenseite auf, auf der die wichtigsten Personendaten und das Bild des Inhabers des Identifikationsdokuments angeordnet sind. Weitere Datenseiten können weitere Eintragungen zum Inhaber des Identifikationsdokuments oder freie Bereiche für spätere Eintragungen, beispielsweise Visa enthalten. Die Datenseiten können aus unterschiedlichen Materialien bestehen und eine unterschiedliche Dicke aufweisen.Book-type identification documents generally consist of a plastic or cardboard or linen envelope and data pages of paper and / or plastic. The data pages are attached by a seam on the envelope or on the inside cover page. The data pages have a personal data page on which the most important personal data and the image of the holder of the identification document are arranged. Other data pages may contain further entries for the holder of the identification document or free areas for subsequent entries, for example visas. The data pages can be made of different materials and have a different thickness.

Unter Identifikationsdokumenten werden im Folgenden beispielsweise Pässe, buchartige Personalausweise oder Führerscheine, vorläufige Personaldokumente oder dergleichen verstanden.Under identification documents, for example, passports, book-like identity cards or driver's licenses, provisional personal documents or the like understood below.

Aus der Druckschrift EP 0 430 282 A2 sind bereits mehrschichtige Ausweiskarten bekannt, die Zwischenschichten aus einem thermoplastischen Elastomer, beispielsweise aus thermoplastischem Polyurethan enthalten.From the publication EP 0 430 282 A2 Multi-layer identity cards are already known which contain intermediate layers of a thermoplastic elastomer, for example of thermoplastic polyurethane.

Es besteht immer wieder das Problem, dass Datenseiten, die Kunststoff enthalten, keine befriedigenden Biegeeigenschaften aufweisen. Durch mehrfaches Biegen entstehen in den laminierten Seiten erste Risse und schließlich ein Bruch der Seite, insbesondere im Bereich der Naht oder dort, wo verschiedene Materialien ineinander übergehen. Die gebrochene Datenseite löst sich im schlechtesten Fall vom buchartigen Identifikationsdokument ab.There is always the problem that data pages containing plastic, have no satisfactory bending properties. Repeated bending causes first cracks in the laminated sides and finally a break of the side, especially in the area of the seam or where different materials merge into one another. The broken data page is replaced in the worst case by the book-type identification document.

Zur Lösung dieses Problems werden in der Druckschrift EP 0 917 966 B1 Einlageblätter für buchartige Identifikationsdokumente beschrieben, die aus mehreren Schichten bestehen, die im Bereich der Nahtstelle jedoch zumindest teilweise nicht aneinander haften.To solve this problem are in the document EP 0 917 966 B1 Insert sheets for book-like identification documents described, which consist of several layers, but at least partially not adhere to each other in the region of the interface.

EP 1 245 407 A2 zeigt und beschreibt ein flexibles und mehrschichtiges Datenblatt eines Sicherheitsdokuments, zum Beispiels eines Passes mit einer laserbeschreibbaren Schicht und einer flexiblen Trägerschicht (back layer), welche mit der laserbeschreibbaren Schicht über eine Laminierschicht verbunden ist. Das Datenblatt weist einen Bereich auf, in dem die Naht zur Befestigung des Datenblattes an den Pass angeordnet wird. Die Trägerschicht erstreckt sich in diesen Bereich, während die laserbeschreibbare Schicht vor diesem endet. EP 1 245 407 A2 FIG. 12 shows and describes a flexible and multilayer datasheet of a security document, for example, a passport having a laser-writable layer and a flexible backing layer bonded to the laser-writable layer via a lamination layer. The datasheet has an area where the seam for attaching the datasheet to the passport is placed. The carrier layer extends into this region while the laser-writable layer ends before it.

Die Grundidee der Erfindung besteht darin, dass in einem Einlageblatt für ein buchartiges Identifikationsdokument, das mit einer Naht in einem Schamierbereich entlang einer Seite mit den übrigen Buchteilen verbindbar ist und aus mindestens einer Schicht aus einem thermoplastischen Elastomer und mindestens einer weiteren Schicht besteht, die mindestens eine Schicht aus einem thermoplastischen Elastomer in den Scharnierbereich hinein zu erstrecken und die mindestens eine weitere Schicht nur bis an den Schamierbereich heran reichen zu lassen.The basic idea of the invention is that in an insert sheet for a book-type identification document, which has a seam in a hinge area along one side with the other parts of the book is connectable and consists of at least one layer of a thermoplastic elastomer and at least one further layer to extend the at least one layer of a thermoplastic elastomer in the hinge area and the at least one further layer only up to the hinge area to submit to.

Für Einlagenblätter, die mit Mikrochip und berührungsloser Datenübertragung ausgestattet werden sollen, ist es erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, die Transponderspulen in die Schicht aus thermoplastischem Elastomer einzubetten, weil dieses Material die Spule gut umfließt, die Spule in dieser Schicht gefedert gelagert wird und dadurch Beschädigungen der Spule vermieden werden. Die Spule wird dabei außerhalb des Scharnierbereichs in die Schicht aus thermoplastischem Elastomer eingebettet.For insert sheets to be equipped with microchip and contactless data transmission, it is provided according to the invention to embed the transponder coils in the layer of thermoplastic elastomer, because this material flows around the coil well, the coil is stored sprung in this layer, thereby avoiding damage to the coil become. The coil is embedded outside of the hinge area in the layer of thermoplastic elastomer.

Analoge Vorteile lassen sich auch für das erfindungsgemäße buchartige Identifikationsdokument mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Einlageblatt benennen.Similar advantages can also be named for the book-type identification document according to the invention with the insert sheet according to the invention.

Es wird des Weiteren ein erfindungsgemäßes Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Einlageblattes für ein buchartiges Identifikationsdokument mit den Merkmalen des unabhängigen Anspruchs angegeben, das ein einfaches und kostengünstiges Verfahren zur Herstellung eines derartigen Einlageblattes beschreibt. Vorteilhaft ist vor allem, dass alle Schichten durch Laminieren verbunden werden und somit eine große Festigkeit und hohe Fälschungssicherheit für das aus dem Verfahren entstehende Einlageblatt erreicht wird, Außerdem wird durch die Einbettung einer Transponderspule in die Schicht aus thermoplastischem Elastomer ein einfaches und kostengünstiges Herstellunasverfahren für ein Einlageblatt angegeben, durch das Beschädigungen, der Transponderspule vermieden werden.There is further provided an inventive method for producing a liner sheet for a book-like identification document having the features of the independent claim, which describes a simple and inexpensive method for producing such a liner sheet. Above all, it is advantageous that all layers are connected by lamination and thus a high strength and In addition, the embedding of a transponder coil in the layer of thermoplastic elastomer, a simple and inexpensive Herstellungsunasverfahren for an insert sheet specified by the damage to the transponder coil can be avoided.

Durch die in den abhängigen Ansprüchen aufgeführten Maßnahmen sind vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen und Verbesserungen der in den unabhängigen Ansprüchen angegebenen Gegenstände möglich.The measures listed in the dependent claims advantageous refinements and improvements of the independent claims are possible objects.

Zum Erreichen einer hohen Stabilität ist es vorteilhaft, die Schicht aus dem thermoplastischen Elastomer in Schamierbereich mit einer größeren Dicke als in den übrigen Bereichen zu versehen. Besonders vorteilhaft ist, die Dicke der Schicht aus dem mindestens einen thermoplastischen Elastomer im Schamierbereich derart zu wählen, dass die Gesamtdicke im Schamierbereich gleich der Gesamtdicke in den übrigen Bereichen des Einlageblattes ist. Es wird so ein stufenloser Übergang zwischen dem Schamierbereich und den übrigen Bereichen des Einlageblattes gewährleistet und so Spannungskonzentrationen beim Biegen in diesem Bereich weitgehend vermieden. Es ist ebenso vorteilhaft, wenn auf einer Seite der Schicht aus dem thermoplastischen Elastomer mindestens weitere Schichten angeordnet sind, diese unterschiedlich weit bis zum Schamierbereich heranreichen zu lassen. Hierdurch werden beim Biegen eine Abrisskante und eine erhöhte Konzentration der Spannung beim Biegen an der Stelle im Übergangsbereich zwischen Schamierbereich und den übrigen Bereichen des Einlageblattes vermieden. Besonders vorteilhaft ist, die Schichten um mindestens 500 µm, besonders vorteilhaft um mindestens 1 mm zu versetzen, Für die Festigkeit ist es des Weiteren vorteilhaft, die Schichtdicke des thermoplastischen Elastomers im Schamierbereich im Bereich zwischen 400 µm und 800 µm, vorzugsweise zwischen 500 µm und 800 µm aufweist.To achieve a high stability, it is advantageous to provide the layer of the thermoplastic elastomer in the hinge region with a greater thickness than in the remaining regions. It is particularly advantageous to choose the thickness of the layer of the at least one thermoplastic elastomer in the hinge region such that the total thickness in the hinge region is equal to the total thickness in the remaining regions of the insert sheet. It is thus ensured a continuous transition between the hinge region and the other areas of the insert sheet and thus largely avoided voltage concentrations when bending in this area. It is also advantageous if at least one further layer is arranged on one side of the layer of the thermoplastic elastomer, to allow it to extend to different distances up to the hinge region. As a result, a trailing edge and an increased concentration of stress during bending at the point in the transition region between the hinge area and the other areas of the insert sheet are avoided during bending. It is particularly advantageous to offset the layers by at least 500 .mu.m, particularly advantageously by at least 1 mm. For the strength, it is also advantageous, the layer thickness of the thermoplastic elastomer in the hinge region in the range between 400 .mu.m and 800 .mu.m, preferably between 500 .mu.m and 800 microns has.

Besonders vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens zur Herstellung des Einlageblattes bestehen darin, jeweils zwei weitere Schichten oberhalb oder unterhalb der Schicht aus thermoplastischem Elastomer auf der gleichen Seite anzuordnen und diese Schichten vor dem Laminieren zusammenzuheften.Particularly advantageous developments of the method according to the invention for the production of the insert sheet consist in each case of arranging two further layers above or below the layer of thermoplastic elastomer on the same side and stapling these layers together prior to lamination.

Hierdurch ist ein Verrutschen der Schichten beim Laminieren ausgeschlossen. Unter Heften wird dabei das punktuelle Verschweißen bzw. Verschmelzen der Schichten verstanden, wobei sich diese Schweißpunkte vorzugsweise außerhalb des Bereichs der zukünftigen Datenseite befinden. So werden diese Schweißpunkte später, beispielsweise beim Ausstanzen der Datenseite abgeschnitten und sind im fertigen Dokument nicht mehr sichtbar. Für eine Datenseite im üblichen Passseitenformat werden dabei beispielsweise zwei bis vier Heftpunkte gesetzt.As a result, slipping of the layers during lamination is excluded. Stapling is understood to mean the selective welding or melting of the layers, wherein these welding points are preferably outside the range of the future data page. Thus, these welds are later cut off, for example when punching the data page and are no longer visible in the finished document. For example, two to four stapling points are set for a data page in the usual pass page format.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens besteht darin, dass mindestens eine weitere Schicht im wesentlichen auf Bereichen der Schicht aus thermoplastischen Elastomer angeordnet wird, die eine geringere Dicke gegenüber verstärkten Bereichen der Schicht aus thermoplastischen Elastomer aufweisen. Somit ist sichergestellt, dass nach der Herstellung des erfindungsgemäßen Einlageblattes im Scharnierbereich die Schicht aus thermoplastischen Elastomer eine größere Dicke aufweist als in den übrigen Bereichen des Einlageblattes. Ordnet man in vorteilhafter Weise dann, wenn auf einer Seite der mindestens einen Schicht aus thermoplastischen Elastomer mindestens zwei weitere Schichten angeordnet werden sollen, die obere Schicht so an, dass sie etwas über den Verstärkungsbereich hinaus ragt, dann ist gewährleistet, dass nach der Herstellung die mindestens zwei weiteren Schichten einer Seite der mindestens einen Schicht aus thermoplastischen Elastomer unterschiedlich weit bis zum Scharnierbereich heranragen und es wird eine zu starke Spannungskonzentration bei Biegebeanspruchung und die Bildung einer Abrisskante vermieden. Besonders vorteilhaft und kostengünstig ist es bei der Herstellung eines derartigen Einlageblattes, mehrere Nutzen, beispielsweise zwei oder vier Einlageblätter auf einen Bogen zusammen herzustellen, wobei die Einlageblätter nach dem Laminieren aus dem Bogen ausgestanzt werden. Hierbei werden in vorteilhafter Weise die Bereiche, in denen die Schichten der Einlageblätter geheftet wurden, vom fertig gestellten Einlageblatt abgetrennt.A further advantageous embodiment of the method according to the invention consists in that at least one further layer is arranged essentially on regions of the layer of thermoplastic elastomer which have a smaller thickness than reinforced regions of the layer of thermoplastic elastomer. This ensures that after the production of the insert sheet according to the invention in the hinge region, the layer of thermoplastic elastomer has a greater thickness than in the other areas of the insert sheet. If the upper layer is advantageously arranged, if at least two further layers are to be arranged on one side of the at least one layer of thermoplastic elastomer, then the upper layer is projected so that it protrudes somewhat beyond the reinforcement region, then it is ensured that after production At least two further layers of one side of the at least one layer of thermoplastic elastomer protrude differently far up to the hinge region and an excessive stress concentration during bending stress and the formation of a tear-off edge are avoided. In the production of such a liner sheet, it is particularly advantageous and cost-effective to produce several benefits, for example two or four liner sheets, on a sheet together, wherein the liner sheets are punched out of the sheet after lamination. In this case, the areas in which the layers of the insert sheets were stapled are separated from the finished insert sheet in an advantageous manner.

Figur 1 a zeigt ein erfindungsgemäßes Einlageblatt 10 für ein ldentifikationsdokument, beispielsweise ein Reisepass oder ein Personalausweis oder dergleichen. Auf dem Einlageblatt 10 sind Daten des Inhabers des Identifikationsdokumentes, beispielsweise der Name 12, die Adresse 13 oder eine personenspezifische Kennnummer 14, beispielsweise eine ICAO-Zeile, angeordnet. Des Weiteren ist auf einer Seite, hier auf der rechten Seite eines derartigen Einlageblattes, das Passbild 11 des Inhabers des Identifikationsdokumentes angeordnet. Das Einlageblatt weist einen Scharnierbereich 22 auf, in dem der Verlauf der Naht mittels einer gestrichelten Linien 20 angedeutet ist. Mit dieser Naht wird das Einlageblatt mit den übrigen Teilen des Identifikationsdokuments verbunden. Der Scharnierbereich 22 ist der Bereich des Einlageblattes, in dem das Einlageblatt nach dem Vernähen mit dem übrigen Teilen des Passbuchs gebogen wird. Er erstreckt sich etwa 5 mm, mindestens jedoch 3 mm links und rechts der Naht.FIG. 1a shows an insert sheet 10 according to the invention for an identification document, for example a passport or identity card or the like. On the insert sheet 10 data of the holder of the identification document, for example, the name 12, the address 13 or a person-specific identification number 14, for example, an ICAO line arranged. Furthermore, the passport image 11 of the holder of the identification document is arranged on one side, here on the right side of such an insert sheet. The insert sheet has a hinge region 22, in which the course of the seam is indicated by means of dashed lines 20. With this seam, the insert sheet is connected to the remaining parts of the identification document. The hinge portion 22 is the portion of the insert sheet in which the insert sheet is bent after sewing with the remaining portions of the passport book. It extends about 5 mm, but at least 3 mm left and right of the seam.

Parallel zur Naht weist das Einlageblatt Seitenkanten 24 und 25 auf, wobei die Seitenkante 25 auf der der Naht gegenüber liegenden Seite angeordnet ist. Auf dem als Datenblatt für ein buchartiges Identifikationsdokument vorgesehenen Einlageblatt 10 sind des Weiteren Sicherheitsmerkmale angeordnet, die hier anhand von Guillochen 15 dargestellt sind. Als Sicherheitsmerkmale sind des Weiteren Kopierschutzelemente, Mikroschrift, lumineszierende Pigmente, Hologramme, Wasserzeichen und Ähnliches verwendbar.Parallel to the seam, the insert sheet has side edges 24 and 25, wherein the side edge 25 is disposed on the opposite side of the seam. On the insert sheet 10 provided as a data sheet for a book-type identification document, further security features are arranged, which are shown here with reference to guilloches 15. Further, as security features, copy protection elements, micro-writing, luminescent pigments, holograms, watermarks and the like are usable.

In Figur 1 b ist eine weitere Ausführungsform eines erfindungsgemäßen Einlageblatts 10 dargestellt, welches zweiseitig aufgebaut ist. In der Mitte der beiden Datenseiten ist der Scharnierbereich 22 angeordnet, in dem nach der Fertigstellung des Identifikationsdokuments die Naht verläuft, die hier mittels einer gestrichelten Linie 20 angedeutet ist. Ein derartiges zweiseitiges Einlageblatt weist zwei der Naht gegenüberliegende Kanten 25 und 25' auf. Die übrigen Bestandteile eines derartigen Einlageblattes, die anhand von Figur 1 a erläutert wurden, sind in Figur 1 b der Übersichtlichkeit halber weggelassen worden. Ein zweiseitiges Einlageblatt ergibt nach dem Einnähen in das ldentifikationsdokument vier Seiten, d.h. zwei Vorder- und zwei Rückseiten, während das anhand von Figur 1 a dargestellte einseitige Einlageblatt zwei Seiten (eine Vorder- und eine Rückseite) ergibt.FIG. 1 b shows a further embodiment of an insert sheet 10 according to the invention, which is constructed on two sides. In the middle of the two data pages, the hinge region 22 is arranged, in which, after the completion of the identification document, the seam runs, which is indicated here by means of a dashed line 20. Such a two-sided insert sheet has two edges 25 opposite the seam and 25 'up. The remaining components of such an insert sheet, which were explained with reference to Figure 1 a, have been omitted in Figure 1 b for clarity. A two-sided insert sheet results in four pages after being sewn into the identification document, ie, two front and two back sides, while the one-sided insert sheet shown with reference to Figure 1a gives two sides (a front and a back side).

Ein Einlageblatt besteht im Allgemeinen aus mehreren Papier- und/oder Kunststoffschichten, die zum einen einen hohen Fälschungsschutz bieten und zum anderen einen Schutz für die auf dem Anlageblatt angeordneten personenbezogenen Daten darstellen. Ein derartiges Einlageblatt wird auch als Personalisierungsseite bezeichnet. Die in die Personalisierungsseite eingetragenen Daten können neben den Namen oder der Adresse sowie einer personenbezogenen Nummerierung auch das Geburtsdatum, den Geburtsort, einen Unterschrift oder weitere personenbezogene Daten erhalten. Die auf dem Einlageblatt enthaltenen Daten können aufgedruckt und/oder eingelasert sein. Beim Einlasern werden die Daten mittels eines Lasers in das fertig laminierte Blatt eingeschrieben. Die Laserintensität wird dabei so gesteuert, dass Verfärbungen im Inneren des Datenblattes, also in einer Papier- oder Kunststoffschicht erfolgen, so dass die mittels Laser eingeschriebenen Daten sichtbar werden. Äußere Kunststoffschichten werden bei diesem Vorgang nicht beschädigt und bleiben glatt. In einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel kann die Laserleistung auch so eingestellt werden, dass die oberste Schicht des Einlageblattes beim Einschreiben mit verändert wird und ein fühlbares Mikrorelief entsteht. Des Weiteren kann in der oberen Schicht des Einlageblattes ein optisch wirksames Relief angeordnet werden, das mit der darunter liegenden gedruckten oder laserinduzierten Beschriftung zusammenwirkt.An insert sheet generally consists of several layers of paper and / or plastic which, on the one hand, offer a high degree of protection against forgery and, on the other hand, provide protection for the personal data placed on the attachment sheet. Such insert sheet is also referred to as personalization page. The data entered in the personalization page can be given not only the name or the address as well as personal numbering but also the date of birth, the place of birth, a signature or other personal data. The data contained on the insert sheet may be printed and / or lasered. In the case of laser scanning, the data are written into the finished laminated sheet by means of a laser. The laser intensity is controlled so that discoloration takes place in the interior of the data sheet, ie in a paper or plastic layer, so that the data inscribed by means of laser become visible. External plastic layers are not damaged during this process and remain smooth. In a further embodiment, the laser power can also be adjusted so that the top layer of the insert sheet is changed during writing and a tactile microrelief is formed. Furthermore, in the upper layer of the insert sheet, an optically effective relief may be arranged which cooperates with the underlying printed or laser-induced inscription.

Anhand von Figur 2 ist eine seitliche Ansicht eines buchförmigen, erfindungsgemäßen Identifikationsdokuments dargestellt. Zu erkennen ist der äußere Umschlag oder Deckel 30, der aus Papier und/oder Pappe und/oder Kunststoff besteht. Im Umschlag 30 angeordnet ist zum einen das erfindungsgemäße Einlageblatt 10 sowie weitere Buchseiten 32, wobei das Einlageblatt 10 und die weiteren Buchseiten 32 mittels einer Naht mit dem Umschlag 30 verbunden sind. Die hier nicht dargestellte Naht ist im Scharnierbereich 22 des Einlageblattes 10 angeordnet. In dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel für ein erfindungsgemäßes Identifikationsdokument ist ein einseitiges Einlageblatt vor den restlichen Datenseiten des Identifikationsdokuments angeordnet. Das Einlageblatt kann auch zwischen den weiteren Datenseiten 32 des buchartigen Identifikationsdokuments angeordnet werden. In einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel kann auch ein zweiseitiges Einlageblatt, wie anhand von Figur 1 b dargestellt, in einem erfindungsgemäßen Identifikationsdokument verwendet werden.FIG. 2 shows a side view of a book-shaped identification document according to the invention. Evident is the outer envelope or lid 30, which consists of paper and / or cardboard and / or plastic. Arranged in the envelope 30 is firstly the insert sheet 10 according to the invention and further book pages 32, wherein the insert sheet 10 and the further pages 32 are connected to the envelope 30 by means of a seam. The seam, not shown here, is arranged in the hinge region 22 of the insert sheet 10. In the illustrated embodiment for an inventive identification document, a one-sided insert sheet is arranged in front of the remaining data pages of the identification document. The insert sheet can also be arranged between the other data pages 32 of the book-type identification document become. In another embodiment, a two-sided insert sheet, as shown with reference to Figure 1 b, are used in an identification document according to the invention.

In Figur 3 ist ein erfindungsgemäßes Einlageblatt im Querschnitt schematisch dargestellt. Das Einlageblatt 10 besteht aus einer mittleren Schicht aus einem thermoplastischen Elastomer 40 und je einer oberhalb und unterhalb angeordneten weiteren Schicht 42, 43. Die weiteren Schichten bestehen aus hochtemperaturstabilem Kunststoff. Der Querschnitt erfolgte entlang der anhand von Figur 1 a dargestellten Linie A-A. Die obere und untere weitere Schicht 42, 43 erstreckt sich in Richtung der Ausdehnung des Einlageblattes 50 von der Seitenkante 25, die der Naht gegenüber liegt, bis zum Scharnierbereich 22. Die beiden weiteren Schichten ragen jedoch nicht bis in den Scharnierbereich 22 hinein. Lediglich die mittig angeordnete Schicht aus thermoplastischem Elastomer 40 erstreckt sich von der der Naht gegenüberliegenden Seitenkante 25 bis über den Scharnierbereich 22 zur Seitenkante 24, die sich am Scharnierbereich 22 befindet.In Figure 3, an insert sheet according to the invention is shown schematically in cross section. The insert sheet 10 consists of a middle layer of a thermoplastic elastomer 40 and one each above and below another arranged layer 42, 43. The other layers are made of high temperature resistant plastic. The cross section was taken along the line A-A shown in FIG. 1a. The upper and lower further layer 42, 43 extends in the direction of expansion of the insert sheet 50 from the side edge 25, which is opposite to the seam, to the hinge region 22. However, the two further layers do not protrude into the hinge region 22. Only the centrally arranged layer of thermoplastic elastomer 40 extends from the seam side opposite the edge 25 to the hinge area 22 to the side edge 24, which is located on the hinge portion 22.

Als thermoplastisches Elastomer kann vorzugsweise thermoplastisches Polyurethan (TPU) angewendet werden, es können jedoch weitere thermoplastische Elastomere eingesetzt werden. Hierfür stehen die gesamte Gruppe der thermoplastischen Polyurethane, die Gruppe der thermoplastischen Copolyester und die Gruppe der thermoplastischen Polyether-Block-Amide zur Verfügung. Als hochtemperaturstabile Kunststoffe können beispielsweise Polycarbonat (PC), Polyethersulfon (PES), Polyetheretherketon (PEEK), Polyphenylenoxid (PPO), Polyphenylensulfid (PPS), Polyetylentherephtalat (PET), Polybuthylenterephtalat (PBT), Polyoxymethylen (POM), Polysulfon (PSU), Polyetherimid (PEI) oder Polyamid (PA) angewendet werden. Diese hochtemperaturstabilen Kunststoffe können einzeln oder in Kombination als weitere Schichten 42, 43 angewendet werden.As the thermoplastic elastomer, thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) may preferably be used, but other thermoplastic elastomers may be used. For this purpose, the entire group of thermoplastic polyurethanes, the group of thermoplastic copolyesters and the group of thermoplastic polyether block amides are available. Polycarbonate (PC), polyethersulfone (PES), polyetheretherketone (PEEK), polyphenylene oxide (PPO), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyoxymethylene (POM), polysulfone (PSU), for example, can be used as high temperature stable plastics. Polyetherimide (PEI) or polyamide (PA) can be applied. These high-temperature-stable plastics can be used individually or in combination as further layers 42, 43.

Anhand von Figur 4 und 5 sind weitere Ausführungsbeispiele für ein erfindungsgemäßes Einlageblatt anhand von Ausschnitten aus Querschnitten entlang der Linie A-A aus Figur 1 a dargestellt. Figur 4 zeigt eine mittig im Einlageblattkörper angeordnete Schicht aus thermoplastischen Elastomer 140 und die jeweils auf beiden Seiten darüber liegenden weiteren Schichten 144 und 142 sowie 145 und 143. Im Scharnierbereich 22 ist die Schicht aus thermoplastischem Elastomer 140 derart verdickt, dass das Einlageblatt 10 im Scharnierbereich 22 die gleiche Dicke entlang der Richtung 51 senkrecht zur Blattebene 50 aufweist wie in den übrigen Bereichen des Einlageblattes. Die jeweils auf der gleichen Seite der Schicht aus thermoplastischem Elastomer 140 angeordneten weiteren Schichten 142 und 144 sowie 143 und 145 erstrecken sich bis zum Scharnierbereich 22 und gleich weit bis zu diesem Bereich hin. Die weiteren Schichten, die auf einer Seite der Schicht aus dem thermoplastischen Elastomer angeordnet sind, enden also an ein und derselben Kante. Die Gestaltung, dass das Einlageblatt im Scharnierbereich und in den übrigen Bereichen die gleiche Dicke aufweist, gewährleistet eine größere Fälschungssicherheit und eine erhöhte Festigkeit des Einlageblattes im Scharnierbereich 22.Further exemplary embodiments of an insert sheet according to the invention are illustrated with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5 on the basis of sections of cross sections along the line AA from FIG. 1 a. FIG. 4 shows a layer of thermoplastic elastomer 140 arranged centrally in the insert sheet body and the further layers 144 and 142 and 145 and 143 lying on both sides. In the hinge region 22, the layer of thermoplastic elastomer 140 is thickened such that the insert sheet 10 in the hinge region 22 has the same thickness along the direction 51 perpendicular to the sheet plane 50 as in the other areas of the insert sheet. The respectively on the the same side of the layer of thermoplastic elastomer 140 arranged further layers 142 and 144 and 143 and 145 extend to the hinge portion 22 and the same extent to this area. The further layers, which are arranged on one side of the layer of the thermoplastic elastomer, thus end at one and the same edge. The design that the insert sheet in the hinge area and in the other areas has the same thickness, ensures greater security against counterfeiting and increased strength of the insert sheet in the hinge area 22nd

In dem anhand von Figur 5 a dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel, das wiederum eine mittige Anordnung der Schicht aus thermoplastischen Elastomer 240 zeigt und auf jeder Seite zwei darüber liegende weitere Schichten 242 und 244 sowie 245 und 243 aufweist, erstrecken sich die weiteren Schichten, die auf einer Seite der Schicht aus thermoplastischen Elastomer angeordnet sind, unterschiedlich weit bis zum Scharnierbereich 22. Die beiden auf einer Seite der Schicht aus thermoplastischen Elastomer angeordneten weiteren Schichten 242 und 244 sowie 243 und 245 weisen somit nicht eine gemeinsame Endkante auf. Dies ist vorteilhaft, um zu vermeiden, dass die Spannung bei einer Biegebeanspruchung zu stark an einer gemeinsamen Kante konzentriert wird.In the exemplary embodiment illustrated with reference to FIG. 5 a, which again shows a central arrangement of the layer of thermoplastic elastomer 240 and has on each side two further layers 242 and 244 and 245 and 243 lying above it, the further layers extend on one side The two layers 242 and 244 as well as 243 and 245 arranged on one side of the layer of thermoplastic elastomer do not therefore have a common end edge. This is advantageous to avoid that the stress is concentrated too much at a common edge in a bending stress.

Der Abstand d zweier paralleler Kanten 242a und 244a der zugehörigen weiteren Schichten 242 und 244 bzw. der Abstand d der parallelen Kanten 245a und 243a der zugehörigen weiteren Schichten 245 und 243 ist größer als 500 µm, vorzugsweise grö-ßer als 1 mm. Die beiden parallelen Kanten 242a und 244a dieses Ausführungsbeispiels sind auch anhand von Figur 5 b in einer Ansicht von oben dargestellt. Analog zur Figur 1 ist im Scharnierbereich 22 die Naht 20 nach der Fertigstellung des ldentifikationsdokuments angeordnet. Dies wird in Figur 5 b mittels einer gestrichelten Linie angedeutet. Des Weiteren sind die Kanten 242a der oberen weiteren Schicht 242 mit einer durchgezogenen Linie und 244a der darunter liegenden weiteren Schicht mit einer gepunkteten Linie gekennzeichnet. Die Kanten 242a und 244a verlaufen parallel zueinander und parallel zu der Seite 24 des Einlageblattes 10, die der Naht am nächsten liegt.The distance d of two parallel edges 242a and 244a of the associated further layers 242 and 244 or the distance d of the parallel edges 245a and 243a of the associated further layers 245 and 243 is greater than 500 μm, preferably greater than 1 mm. The two parallel edges 242a and 244a of this embodiment are also shown with reference to Figure 5b in a view from above. Analogously to FIG. 1, the seam 20 is arranged in the hinge region 22 after the completion of the identification document. This is indicated in FIG. 5 b by means of a dashed line. Furthermore, the edges 242a of the upper further layer 242 are indicated by a solid line and 244a of the underlying further layer by a dotted line. The edges 242a and 244a are parallel to each other and parallel to the side 24 of the insert sheet 10 which is closest to the seam.

In Figur 5 c wird ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel für den Verlauf der Kanten der weiteren Schichten angegeben, wobei die Kanten und der Nahtbereich analog zu Figur 5 b gekennzeichnet sind. Die Kanten 242a' und 244a' verlaufen in diesem Fall nicht parallel zueinander und ebenfalls nicht parallel zur Seite des Einlageblattes, sondern weisen eine Form auf vergleichbar mit den Schenkeln eines gleichschenkligen Dreiecks, wobei sich der Scheitel etwa in der Mitte der Seite 24 befindet. Dabei sind die auf einer Seite von der Schicht aus thermoplastischem Elastomer liegenden Schichten 242 und 244 mit Kanten 242a' und 244a' in der Form der Schenkel eines gleichschenkligen Dreiecks mit entgegen gesetzten Öffnungswinkeln ausgeführt, so dass in dem äußeren, von dem Scheitel entfernter liegendem Bereichen die obere Schicht weiter zum Schamierbereich heran ragt und in dem Bereich um den Scheitel die untere Schicht weiter zum Scharnierbereich heran ragt. Diese Ausführungsform bietet neben der Verteilung von Spannungen bei Biegen ein zusätzliches Sicherheitsmerkmal, wenn diese Kantengestaltung etwa visuell erkennbar ist.FIG. 5 c shows a further exemplary embodiment for the course of the edges of the further layers, wherein the edges and the seam area are identified analogously to FIG. 5 b. The edges 242a 'and 244a' in this case are not parallel to each other and also not parallel to the side of the insert sheet, but have a shape comparable to the legs of an isosceles triangle, wherein the apex is approximately in the middle of page 24. In this case, the layers 242 and 244 lying on one side of the layer of thermoplastic elastomer are formed with edges 242a 'and 244a' in the shape of the legs of an isosceles triangle with opposite opening angles, so that lying in the outer lying away from the apex lying areas the upper layer continues to project towards the hinge area and, in the area around the vertex, the lower layer projects further towards the hinge area. This embodiment, in addition to the distribution of stresses in bending an additional security feature when this edge design is about visually recognizable.

Den gleichen zusätzlichen Vorteil bietet ein Ausführungsbeispiel, das anhand von Figur 5 d dargestellt ist. Hier sind die Kanten 242a" und 244a" im Wesentlichen parallel zueinander und zur Seite 24 des Einlageblattes ausgebildet. Sie sind jedoch mit einer welligen Form ausgeführt. Weitere Formen, wie z. B. Zackenformen sind ebenfalls denkbar. Der mittlere Abstand d' bezeichnet den Abstand, den die Mittellinien gleichen Werte wie die anhand von Figur 5 a erläuterten Abstände d aufweisen.The same additional advantage is offered by an exemplary embodiment, which is illustrated with reference to FIG. 5 d. Here, the edges 242a "and 244a" are formed substantially parallel to one another and to the side 24 of the insert sheet. However, they are designed with a wavy shape. Other forms, such. B. Zackenformen are also conceivable. The mean distance d 'denotes the distance which the center lines have the same values as the distances d explained with reference to FIG. 5 a.

In die Schicht aus thermoplastischem Elastomer ist eine Transponderspule eingebettet, die zur berührungslosen Übertragung von Daten für einen im Einlageblatt angeordneten Mikrochip dient und mit diesem elektrisch verbunden ist. Die Transponderspule ist in einem Bereich außerhalb des Scharnierbereichs in die Schicht aus thermoplastischem Elastomer eingebettet.In the layer of thermoplastic elastomer, a transponder coil is embedded, which is used for non-contact transmission of data for a microchip arranged in the insert sheet and is electrically connected thereto. The transponder coil is embedded in a region outside the hinge region in the layer of thermoplastic elastomer.

In weiteren Ausführungsbeispielen der Erfindung können auch mehrere Schichten aus thermoplastischem Elastomer innerhalb eines erfindungsgemäßen Einlageblattes vorgesehen sein. Die Schichten aus thermoplastischem Elastomer sind in diesem Fall durch Zwischenschichten voneinander getrennt. Des Weiteren können auch mehr als zwei weitere Schichten auf jeder Seite des thermoplastischen Elastomers vorgesehen sein.In further embodiments of the invention, several layers of thermoplastic elastomer may be provided within a liner sheet according to the invention. The layers of thermoplastic elastomer are separated in this case by intermediate layers. Furthermore, more than two further layers may be provided on each side of the thermoplastic elastomer.

In vorteilhafter Weise weist die mindestens eine Schicht aus dem thermoplastischem Elastomer im Scharnierbereich eine Schichtdicke zwischen 400 µm und 800 µm, vorzugsweise zwischen 500 µm und 800 µm auf. Weitere Schichten aus hochtemperaturstabilem Kunststoff können Schichtdicken zwischen 20 µm und 500 µm, vorzugsweise zwischen 100 µm und 500 µm, höchstvorzugsweise zwischen 300 µm und 500 µm aufweisen. Im übrigen Bereich des Einlageblattes, der nicht zum Scharnierbereich gehört, beträgt die Dicke der mindestens einen Schicht aus thermoplastischem Elastomer zwischen 20 µm und 300 µm, vorzugsweise zwischen 50 µm und 200 µm. Die Dicke ist dabei die Ausdehnung der Schichten entlang der Richtung 51 senkrecht zur Blattebene 50 des erfindungsgemäßen Einlageblattes.Advantageously, the at least one layer of the thermoplastic elastomer in the hinge region has a layer thickness between 400 .mu.m and 800 .mu.m , preferably between 500 .mu.m and 800 .mu.m . Other layers of high-temperature stable plastic, layer thicknesses of between 20 μ m and 500 μ m, preferably between 100 μ m and 500 μ m, most preferably between 300 μ m and having 500 μ m. In the remaining area of the insert sheet, which does not belong to the hinge area, the thickness of the at least one layer of thermoplastic elastomer is between 20 .mu.m and 300 .mu.m , preferably between 50 .mu.m and 200 .mu.m . The thickness is the extent of the layers along the direction 51 perpendicular to the sheet plane 50 of the insert sheet according to the invention.

Anhand der Figuren 6, 7 und 8 soll nun im Folgenden das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Einlageblattes für ein buchartiges Identifikationsdokument beschrieben werden. Die Figuren 6 und 7 zeigen dabei zunächst die Herstellung der Schicht aus thermoplastischem Elastomer, die im Scharnierbereich eine größere Dicke als in den übrigen Bereichen aufweist. Die anhand der Figuren 6, 7 und 8 dargestellten Verfahrensschritte sind wiederum im Querschnitt schematisch dargestellt. Des Weiteren ist das Verfahren bezogen auf ein einseitiges Einlageblatt, das als Zweifachnutzen herstellt wird. Es kann analog auch für zweiseitige Einlageblätter oder Ein- oder Mehrfachnutzen angewendet werden.The method according to the invention for producing an insert sheet for a book-type identification document will now be described below with reference to FIGS. 6, 7 and 8. Figures 6 and 7 show first the preparation of the layer of thermoplastic elastomer, which has a greater thickness in the hinge region than in the other areas. The method steps illustrated with reference to FIGS. 6, 7 and 8 are again shown schematically in cross-section. Furthermore, the method is based on a single-sided insert sheet, which is produced as a double benefit. It can be used analogously for two-sided inserts or single or multiple benefits.

Anhand von Figur 6 a ist dargestellt, dass oberhalb und unterhalb einer Schicht aus thermoplastischem Elastomer 340 weitere Schichten aus thermoplastischem Elastomer 340' und 340" angeordnet werden. Diese weiteren Schichten aus thermoplastischem Elastomer 340' und 340" werden in dem Bereich angeordnet, in dem später der Scharnierbereich mit einer Verstärkung entstehen soll. Figur 6 b zeigt die direkte Anordnung der drei Schichten aus thermoplastischem Elastomer 340, 340' und 340" übereinander. Zur besseren Fixierung können diese Schichten aufeinander geheftet werden.Referring to Figure 6a, further layers of thermoplastic elastomer 340 'and 340 "are disposed above and below a layer of thermoplastic elastomer 340. These further layers of thermoplastic elastomer 340' and 340" are disposed in the region in which later the hinge area is to be created with a reinforcement. 6 b shows the direct arrangement of the three layers of thermoplastic elastomer 340, 340 'and 340 "one above the other, for better fixation these layers can be stapled on one another.

In Figur 7 ist ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel für eine Schicht aus thermoplastischem Elastomer 340 im Querschnitt schematisch dargestellt. In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel wurde die Schicht aus thermoplastischem Elastomer 340 als Formteil durch Extrusion hergestellt.FIG. 7 diagrammatically shows a further exemplary embodiment of a layer of thermoplastic elastomer 340 in cross-section. In this embodiment, the layer of thermoplastic elastomer 340 was manufactured as a molded part by extrusion.

Wie bereits oben erläutert, ist in einer Schicht aus thermoplastischem Elastomer auch eine Transponderspule eingebettet, die die berührungslose Datenübertragung erlaubt. Eine derartige Spule kann beispielsweise mittels Drucken, Sprühen oder durch andere Auftragsverfahren auf eine Schicht aus thermoplastischem Elastomer aufgetragen werden. In einem weiteren Verfahrensschritt wird eine weitere Schicht aus thermoplastischem Elastomer auflaminiert, so dass beide Schichten aus thermoplastischem Elastomer mit dazwischen eingebetteter Transponderspule die Schicht aus thermoplastischem Elastomer 340, wie in Figur 7 gezeigt, bilden.As already explained above, a transponder coil, which allows non-contact data transmission, is embedded in a layer of thermoplastic elastomer. Such a coil can be applied, for example by means of printing, spraying or by other application methods, to a layer of thermoplastic elastomer. In a further method step, a further layer of thermoplastic elastomer is laminated, so that both layers of thermoplastic elastomer with interposed embedded transponder coil the layer of thermoplastic elastomer 340, as shown in Figure 7, form.

Die weiteren Verfahrensschritte zur Herstellung des erfindungsgemäßen Einlageblattes sollen nun anhand von Figur 8 erläutert werden. Zunächst werden die weiteren Schichten 242, 244, 245 und 243 für den ersten Nutzen und die weiteren Schichten 242', 244', 245' und 243' für den weiteren Nutzen in der gewünschten Reihenfolge, wie in Figur 8 a gezeigt, übereinander angeordnet. In einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel werden anschließend die jeweils auf einer Seite der Schicht aus thermoplastischem Elastomer befindlichen weiteren Schichten 242 und 244 sowie 245 und 243 sowie 242' und 244' sowie 245' und 243' übereinander geheftet, so dass das Verrutschen der jeweiligen Schichten gegeneinander verhindert wird. Dies ist anhand von Figur 8 b dargestellt. Dabei ragt die jeweils im zukünftigen Einlageblatt außen liegende weitere Schicht 242, 242', 243 und 243' auf der Seite, an der sich zukünftig der Scharnierbereich anschließen soll, etwas über die jeweils andere Schicht hinaus. In dem folgenden, anhand von Figur 8 c dargestellten Verfahrensschritt wird die Schicht aus thermoplastischem Elastomer zwischen den weiteren Schichten derart angeordnet, dass sich die weiteren Schichten dort erstrecken, wo die Schicht aus thermoplastischem Elastomer 340 eine geringere Dicke aufweist. Im mittigen Verstärkungsbereich, der zukünftig der Scharnierbereich des erfindungsgemäßen Einlageblattes des thermoplastischen Elastomers darstellen soll, werden die weiteren Schichten 242, 244, 245, 243, 242', 244', 245' und 243' nicht angeordnet. Lediglich das überragende Stück der jeweils äußeren weiteren Schichten liegt auf dem Bereich der verstärkten Schicht aus thermoplastischem Elastomer auf. In einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel können die aufeinander angeordneten Schichten zunächst geheftet werden.The further method steps for producing the insert sheet according to the invention will now be explained with reference to FIG. 8. First, the further layers 242, 244, 245 and 243 for the first use and the further layers 242 ', 244', 245 'and 243' for the further use in the desired order, as shown in Figure 8 a, one above the other. In a preferred embodiment, the further layers 242 and 244 and 245 and 243 as well as 242 'and 244' as well as 245 'and 243' located on one side of the layer of thermoplastic elastomer are then stapled one over the other, so that the respective layers slip against each other becomes. This is illustrated by FIG. 8b. In this case, the further layer 242, 242 ', 243 and 243' which in each case lies outside in the future insert sheet projects slightly beyond the respective other layer on the side where the hinge area is to join in the future. In the following process step illustrated with reference to FIG. 8 c, the layer of thermoplastic elastomer is arranged between the further layers such that the further layers extend where the layer of thermoplastic elastomer 340 has a smaller thickness. In the central reinforcing region, which in the future is intended to be the hinge region of the insert sheet of the thermoplastic elastomer according to the invention, the further layers 242, 244, 245, 243, 242 ', 244', 245 'and 243' are not arranged. Only the protruding piece of the respective outer further layers rests on the area of the reinforced layer of thermoplastic elastomer. In a preferred embodiment, the layers arranged on top of each other can be stapled first.

Im Folgenden werden alle Schichten laminiert. Durch das unlösbare Verschmelzen der Schichten miteinander wird auch das zunächst überstehende Ende der jeweils außen liegenden Schichten 242, 243 und 242' und 243' derart mit den übrigen Schichten verbunden, dass in diesen Bereichen eine glatte Oberfläche entsteht. Das laminierte Halbzeug für das erfindungsgemäße Einlageblatt ist anhand von Figur 8 d dargestellt.In the following, all layers are laminated. As a result of the intractable fusion of the layers with one another, the initially projecting end of the respectively outer layers 242, 243 and 242 'and 243' is also connected to the remaining layers in such a way that a smooth surface is formed in these regions. The laminated semi-finished product for the insert sheet according to the invention is shown with reference to FIG. 8d.

Anschließend werden in einem weiteren Verfahrungsschritt die für das erfindungsgemä-ße Einlageblatt vorgesehene Flächen aus dem anhand von Figur 8 d dargestellten Halbzeug ausgestanzt oder die beiden Nutzen in einer anderen Weise voneinander getrennt. In dem hier dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel bei der gemeinsamen Verarbeitung zweier Nutzen von jeweils einseitigen Einlageblättern entstehen, wie in Figur 8 e dargestellt, zwei Einzeinutzen, die jeweils in einem Scharnierbereich 22 nur jeweils eine Schicht aus thermoplastischem Elastomer 240 und 240' aufweisen.Subsequently, in a further process step, the surfaces provided for the insert sheet according to the invention are punched out of the semifinished product illustrated with reference to FIG. 8 d or the two benefits are separated from one another in a different manner. In the embodiment shown here in the joint processing of two As shown in FIG. 8 e, the use of one-sided insert sheets in each case produces two single-use inserts, each of which has only one layer of thermoplastic elastomer 240 and 240 'in each hinge area 22.

Zur Herstellung eines erfindungsgemäßen Identifikationsdokuments wird nun das Einlageblatt zusammen mit den übrigen Datenseiten und dem Umschlag so zusammengestellt, dass alle Seiten die richtige Reihenfolge aufweisen. Das Einlageblatt wird derart angeordnet, dass sich der Scharnierbereich im Bereich der zukünftigen Naht befindet. Nach einer Fixierung der Dokumentenbestandteile werden diese miteinander vernäht. Die Naht verläuft anschließend im Scharnierbereich des Einlageblattes, also im Bereich, der nur das thermoplastische Elastomer aufweist. Es können dann noch weitere Verfahrensschritte bis zur Herstellung des Identifikationsdokumentes angeschlossen werden. Zum einen können die Datenseiten und der Umschlag noch auf ihre vorgegebenen Maße zugeschnitten werden. Des Weiteren kann auf den Umschlag noch eine Schutzschicht, beispielsweise aus Kunststoff oder Leinen geklebt werden, die zusätzliche Bedruckungen aufweisen kann. Des Weiteren wird eine Falzlinie entlang der Naht vorgesehen, so dass das Buch auch an der vorgegebenen Stelle gefaltet wird. Bei einer einseitigen Ausführung des Einlageblattes steht der Scharnierbereich 22, so wie in Figur 2 dargestellt, auf der einen Seite noch etwas über den Knick- bzw. Nahtbereich hinaus.For producing an identification document according to the invention, the insert sheet together with the other data pages and the envelope is now assembled in such a way that all pages have the correct sequence. The insert sheet is placed such that the hinge area is in the area of the future seam. After fixing the document components they are sewn together. The seam then runs in the hinge region of the insert sheet, ie in the region which has only the thermoplastic elastomer. It can then be connected to other process steps to the production of the identification document. On the one hand, the data pages and the envelope can still be cut to their specified dimensions. Furthermore, a protective layer, for example made of plastic or linen, which may have additional printing on the envelope can still be glued. Furthermore, a fold line is provided along the seam, so that the book is also folded at the predetermined location. In a one-sided embodiment of the insert sheet is the hinge portion 22, as shown in Figure 2, on the one hand something about the kink or seam area addition.
