Description

Security identification tag removable

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a label of removable multilayer, of the type designed to identify a given article or document. As a security label, it can be used to guarantee the authenticity and origin of the article that identifies, to monitor its serial number and, in general, to all those uses in which security labels are placed.

Also, as a security label, you can contain several variable security elements, depending on the application to which it is intended, which they will do extraordinarily difficult forgery, manipulation or reproduction, total or partial, of the label, together with the fixed or variable information, that could contain.

In its most basic configuration, the tag consists of a removable main layer that contains the information relative to the product or document that it identifies, and a second layer, that remains attached to the product or document once the main layer

The label is designed so that your layer main can be easily separated from the article that identifies and, then, immediately paste it to another support and / or document so that the label thus becomes a coupon or label interchangeable. This coupon can be used to get some reward, pecuniary or not, associated with the purchase and / or use of the product originally identified by the label.

Once the main layer has been removed, the label layer that remains attached to the product identified by the security tag contains some elements security that help identify the product and make Obviously the main layer is not present, in this way, the protected product or document is prevented from being used and / or Sold a second time.

The main layer may contain information from all. This information, which can be fixed or variable between Different labels, can be read or interpreted by using of conventional readers. Once attached to the carrier document, facilitates the use of automatic scanners.

Background of the invention

One of the usual ways of identification of a product or object is the use of a label self-adhesive bearer of information related to said article, such such as the name of the manufacturer, the name of the product, price, barcode, reference number, etc.

These tags are originally provided with a siliconized protector, removable at the time of fixation of the label to the object, a fixation that from the point theoretical view, at least, should be immovable, so that the Tag cannot be separated from the item without destroying it.

If the adhesive is of a type such that the label it could be separated from the object it identifies without suffering deterioration any, and without causing damage of any kind on the surface of the object, in the vast majority of cases the label cannot be paste permanently to another object or document. In addition, there is no record object or document or any evidence that the label has been separated from that object or document to which it has been previously attached.

There are, finally, other applications, in the that you can use multilayer labels, with a construction similar to the one claimed here. However, the label claimed has two distinct characteristics of these applications:

-

the main layer, removable and designed for use as a test for Obtaining a reward is itself a label of security that incorporates two or more security elements than the they make it very difficult to fake and / or reproduce or possibly manipulate with the elements contained in it.

-

the label layer that remains attached to the product or document who identifies, also presents printed security elements on its back side, which contribute to guarantee authenticity of the product or document in question, alert of the absence of the main layer, and evidence the fact that the product has been properly controlled, since the removable layer or layers have been present.

The fact that the main layer can be used as a coupon or control means that the product or original document has been used according to the purposes for which It was planned, implies the existence of a consideration. This consideration, whether directly economic or not, carries a value economic and, therefore, is subject to possible fraud attempts, hence the need for the different layers of the label incorporate security elements.

The existence of such consideration it is generally due, in addition, to the product or document to which it is identified with the label in question, it has a value such that It can generate fraud around it.

Therefore, the invention is intended to to protect:

-

he own coupon, since this coupon always implies an exchange value financial; therefore, the coupon is protected with elements of security normally used in banknotes, checks and similar, to prevent the falsification of said coupon and with it get the rewards mentioned above, adhering a fake coupon to the document that gives rise to the reward,

-

the reward of the original product or document that prevents so much that this reward is obtained as, in addition, that the product or document can be sold for its value its full value (that is, without the right to reward, thus obtaining a double benefit):

-

be adhere a false label to the product (which is prevented by security elements of the main layer)

-

he product or document is delivered without the label and this fact happens unnoticed (prevented by the security features present in the layer that remains attached to the product),

-

and the product or document to be protected, to the extent that the different layers contain security elements that guarantee the authenticity, origin and / or monitoring of said product or document.

The main layer uses an adhesive of the permanent calls. Therefore, it guarantees its purpose of perfect adherence of said layer to the document for which it will be Earned the reward. Likewise, it is avoided that said layer can accidentally detach from the product or document in which it originally put. On single-sided removable labels with non-permanent adhesives, it is not possible to secure either previous circumstances.

In the international PCT publication WO 98/52178 a security label is described that includes a cover of label with a first adhesive layer with a device wireless electronic connection secured detachably to said cover.

From European patent EP-0 611 055 another security label of the type is known before mentioned.

Description of the invention

The security identification tag removable proposed by the invention completely resolves satisfactory problems described above, already constitutes by itself satisfactorily an element that, when added to a product or service, offers a highly secure product by have intrinsic integrated security elements, while it is also satisfactory for having a monetary value as if it were a Exchangeable coupon or a given service.

To this end, and more specifically, the label that it is proposed here, in its simplest embodiment, it is composed of a strip of paper provided on its back side with a layer of adhesive (main layer) attached to a second layer of paper siliconized, also with another layer of adhesive on the opposite side of the one that sticks the first layer, while the total set is complete with a strip of siliconized paper to protect this layer adhesive finish

This second self-adhesive layer can be transparent or not, so that the existing impression on the face back of the strip acting as a base may be visible through The same or not. The impression, which may or may not be the type of security, is done on the back side of this secondary layer, before the application of the adhesive, well, this print is part of the manufacturing process of the invention.

In the simplest case that there is only one second label (main layer), this one, as said before, it can be a conventional label with a strong adhesive (also called permanent), which is suitable for incorporating elements related or not to those that appear on the back of the strip that acts as a basis, as well as any element of authenticity or security identification. This self-adhesive label is it thus becomes a type of proof of identification or even a monetary value coupon, which is easily removed from the strip siliconized to which it is attached (secondary layer), and that, then you can paste on the element you want monitor, inventory, etc, linking it to that other element on which the base tag was attached.

In an embodiment version, enter the tag intermediate adhesive formed by siliconized paper, in one of whose faces, more specifically where the adhesive is and between which the security message is printed, there may be several adhesive labels of characteristics similar to which may be suitable for use as proof of identification or Coupons of monetary value, of use of the product or article identified in intermediate stages.

The fact that the message about the layer or layers Secondary prints on the face (s) post (s) and before the application of the adhesive, ensures the practical impossibility of altering said message without there being clear evidence of manipulation, while at the same time Protects printing against possible external aggressions. This characteristic represents in itself an element of security.
