Abstract

A document in the form of a booklet consists of at least a book cover (1) folded along its middle and each time of a required number of sheets (2, 3) folded along their middle too, all of them bound together by a seam (4) in the fold area. On a selected sheet (2) of the document there is a certain page (20) each time, which should contain data to be protected against falsification or modification to the maximum possible degree. For this purpose, a protection data layer (5) is applied over the page (20) on the sheet (2) of paper or similar material according to the invention, on which this data are available together with the remaining protection elements. At the same time, a strip (6) made of a flexure resistant material, bound to the book cover (1) and to the sheets (2, 3) by means of the seam (4), is provided in the document directly above the said sheet (2), so that the mentioned protection layer (5) is applied over at least a major part of the respective page (20) and at the same time also over at least a part of the said strip (6). In this way, the interior edge (50) of the protection layer (5), facing the seam (4), overlies the said strip (6) and prevents rubbing of the said edge (50) against the sheet (2, 3) and thus damaging of the latter.

Description

Izum spada na področje tiskarstva, še zlasti pa se nanaša na izdelavo listin, izkaznic in podobnih proti ponarejanju in/ali prenarejanju zaščitenih dokumentov.The invention relates to the field of printing, and in particular relates to the production of documents, cards and the like against the forgery and / or forgery of protected documents.

Pri tem izum temelji na problemu izvedbe dokumenta v obliki knjižice, pri katerem naj bi bilo omogočeno neproblematično všitje zaščitno plast iz tršega gradiva, še zlasti npr. polipropilena ali podobnega, obsegajočega lista med preostale liste v dokumentu, obenem pa naj bi bila preprečena tudi možnost, da bi proti vsakokrat sosednjemu listu iz papirja obrnjen notranji rob omenjene zaščitne plasti lahko z drgnjenjem poškodoval ta izpostavljeni list.The invention is based on the problem of the implementation of a document in the form of a booklet, which is intended to allow the unproblematic sewing of a protective layer of hard material, in particular e.g. polypropylene or similar, covering sheet between the remaining sheets in the document, while also preventing the inwardly facing inner edge of said protective layer from rubbing against each adjacent sheet of paper may scratch that exposed sheet by rubbing.

Tovrsten dokument je skupaj s postopkom njegove izdelave opisan v EP 1 008 459 BI. Kot izhaja že iz omenjenega dokumenta, pri izdelavi tovrstnih dokumentov, npr. potnih listov in podobnih, obstoji potreba, daje vsaj stran, na kateri so izpisani osebni podatki in ki mora biti še posebej zaščitena, izvedena iz gradiva, ki je primemo tudi za izvedbo različnih zaščitnih elementov, ki so bodisi vgrajeni, natisnjeni, vtisnjeni ali celo lasersko izdelani.. V ta namen so izjemno primerni polikarbonatni materiali, ki pa so bistveno trši od papirja in problematični z vidika možnosti upogibanja. Nadalje sodobne zahteve pri izdelavi tovrstnih dokumentov vse pogosteje narekujejo celo vgradnjo elektronskih in/ali magnetnih podatkovnih nosilcev, zaradi česar je debelina plasti omenjenega gradiva lahko tudi razmeroma velika. Po spajanju lista, ki bi bil izveden iz tovrstnega gradiva in vgrajen, npr. všit, v dokument skupaj s platnicami in preostalimi listi, bi prihajalo do težav bodisi zaradi tendence dokumenta po odpiranju ali celo zaradi lomljenja preganjenega lista. Zato je bilo v omenjenem patentu predlagano, da se list oz. takoimenovano ploščo iz polikarbonata poveže s trakom iz gibkega, upogljivega gradiva, npr. polipropilena. Tovrsten trak je namreč mogoče brez težav všiti v dokument skupaj s preostalimi listi, razen tega pa vzdrži tudi zadostno število upogibanj, da v celotnem obdobju regularne uporabe dokumenta ne pride do razpokanja oz. preloma. Pri tem sicer obstoji nadaljnji problem spajanja delov iz gradiv, ki jih je med seboj težko povezovati, ki pa je rešen na ta način, daje omenjeni trak perforiran, t.j. opremljen s skoznjimi luknjami, pri čemer se ta perforiran trak namesti preko lista oz. plošče, zatem pa preko traku še nadaljnji pas, ki pa je opremljen z izbočitvami, katerih velikost in lega sta prirejeni perforaciji omenjenega traku. Tako izboči tv e omenjenega pasu segajo skozi omenjene luknje perforiranega traku vse do površine zaščitne plasti, s tem pa je omogočeno spajanje omenjenega pasu in lista oz. plošče iz polikarbonata v območju omenjenih perforacij oz. izbočitev, tako da je trak po eni strani vpet med pasom in zaščitno folijo ter po drugi strani všit v dokumentu. Na ta način je - tako v omenjenem patentu - polikarbonatna plošča mehansko oz. oblikosklepno priključena k traku, ki je všit v dokumentu. Tehnologija povezovanja je na nekoliko drugačen način opisana tudi v slovenskem patentu št. 20369 A, ki pa se omejuje izključno na povezovanje oz. spajanje polikarbonatnih materialov s povezovalnimi trakovi iz različnih materialov. Na en ali drug način je npr. mogoče vsaj na prvi pogled brez težav vpeti list oz. ploščo iz polikarbonatnega gradiva v knjižici podoben dokument.Such a document is described in EP 1 008 459 BI together with the process for its production. As is apparent from the aforementioned document, when producing such documents, e.g. passports and the like, there is a need that at least the page on which the personal information is displayed and which must be especially protected is derived from material which is also suitable for the implementation of various security elements that are either embedded, printed, imprinted or even Laser-made .. Polycarbonate materials are extremely suitable for this purpose, but they are significantly harder than paper and are problematic in terms of bending. Furthermore, the modern requirements for the production of such documents are increasingly dictated by the installation of electronic and / or magnetic data carriers, which can make the thickness of the layers of the mentioned material relatively large. After merging a sheet that would be derived from such material and embedded, e.g. sewing the document together with the covers and other sheets would cause problems either because of the tendency of the document after opening it or even because of the broken sheet. Therefore, it was proposed in the aforementioned patent that a sheet or a connects the so-called polycarbonate plate with a strip of flexible, flexible material, e.g. polypropylene. This kind of tape can be easily sewn into the document together with the rest of the sheets, and it also maintains a sufficient number of bends so that during the whole period of regular use of the document there will be no cracking. fracture. However, there is a further problem of joining parts of materials that are difficult to connect with each other, but solved in this way makes said tape perforated, i.e. fitted with holes through which the perforated strip is placed over the sheet or. plates, followed by a further belt through the belt, which is provided with projections whose size and position are adapted to the perforations of said tape. Thus, the protrusions of said belt extend through said holes of the perforated strip all the way to the surface of the protective layer, thereby enabling the connection of said belt and the sheet or sheet. polycarbonate sheets in the range of said perforations or. a protrusion such that the tape is clamped between the belt and the foil on one side and sewn in the document on the other. In this way, as in the aforementioned patent, the polycarbonate plate is mechanically or. formatted to the ribbon sewn into the document. Connection technology is also described in a slightly different way in Slovenian patent no. 20369 A, which, however, is limited solely to connection or. joining polycarbonate materials with connecting strips of different materials. In one way or another, for example, at least at first glance, it is possible to grasp the sheet or. plate made of polycarbonate material in a booklet-like document.

V praksi, pri izdelavi dokumentov v obliki knjižice, zlasti npr. potnih listov, pa se vendarle kažejo določene pomajkljivosti tovrstnega spajanja. Pri izdelavi dokumenta namreč pripravijo platnice in preko njih namestijo trak ter zatem še preostale liste, nakar vse skupaj sešijejo. Z zaščitno folijo opremljeni list se običajno nahaja neposredno ob platnicah. Trak poteka od notranje strani zadnje platnice preko šiva v območje notranje strani prednje platnice, kjer se nahaja njegov perforirani del. Notranji rob zaščitne plasti, ki se nanaša v bližini šiva, je obrnjen proti prednji strani sosednjega lista. Ker je zaščitna plast izvedena iz bistveno tršega gradiva kot je papir, in ker je njena debelina razmeroma velika, je omenjeni notranji rob plasti razmeroma izrazit in oster. Dasiravno se uporabniki tega praviloma niti ne zavedajo, se prav ta trd in oster rob zaščitne plasti med odpiranjem in zapiranjem dokumenta drgne ob sosednji list iz papiija, ki je bistveno mehkejši, in ga sčasoma močno poškoduje. Tako nastale poškodbe lahko ob povsem regularni uporabi dokumenta privedejo do tolikšnega zmanjšanja debeline sosednjega lista, da se list natrga in kasneje lahko celo izpade iz dokumenta.In practice, when creating documents in booklet form, especially e.g. passports, however, show some disadvantages of this kind of merging. In the preparation of the document, they prepare the covers and attach the tape over them, and then the remaining sheets, and then sew them all together. A sheet with a protective foil is usually located directly next to the covers. The strap runs from the inside of the back cover through the seam to the area of the inside of the front cover where its perforated part is located. The inner edge of the protective layer, which is applied near the seam, faces the front of the adjacent sheet. Since the protective layer is made of substantially more rigid material such as paper, and because its thickness is relatively large, the said inner edge of the layer is relatively pronounced and sharp. As a rule, users are not even aware of this, and this rigid and sharp edge of the protective layer rubs against the adjacent papier sheet, which is much softer, and damages it over time when opening and closing the document. Damage resulting from this, when used regularly, can lead to a reduction in the thickness of the adjacent sheet so that the sheet breaks and can even fall out of the document later.

Po izumu je predlagano, da se polikarbonatno gradivo uporabi zgolj kot zaščitna in podatkovna plast, s katero je na izbrani strani prevlečen sicer iz papiija ali podobnega gradiva sestoječ izbrani list dokumenta, pri čemer je v dokumentu neposredno nad listom, ki obsega z zaščitno plastjo opremljeno stran, všit trak iz upogibno obstojnega gradiva, zlasti propilena, PVC ali podobnega, ki je prednostno gladek in neperforiran. Prednostno iz polikarbonatnega ali podobnega gradiva sestoječa zaščitna plast je nameščena preko vsaj večjega dela, prednostno preko celotne strani izbranega lista, hkrati pa tudi vsaj preko dela omenjenega traku, pri tem pa se notranji rob zaščitne plasti nahaja na traku in na ustreznem odmiku od šiva, tako da se pri odpiranju ali zapiranju dokumenta ne drgne ob list iz papirja ali podobnega gradiva, marveč ob omenjeni trak. Zaščitna plast je na izbrani strani in hkrati tudi na vsaj del traku pritrjena z lepljenjem s pomočjo obstojnega adhezijskega sredstva, še zlasti s pomočjo temperaturno obstojnega lepila, ki ima npr. vsaj v določenem temperaturnem območju lastnosti duroplasta in je netaljivo, in sicer vsaj do tolikšne temperature, pri kateri so posledice segrevanja že na pogled vidne tudi na vsaj enem od preostalih zaščitnih elementov dokumenta. Nadalje je pri eni od možnih izvedb debelina zaščitne plasti v območju traku lahko manjša od debeline zaščitne plasti v preostalih območjih strani izbranega lista, preko katere je nameščena zaščitna plast.According to the invention, it is proposed to use polycarbonate material solely as a protective and data layer, with which the selected sheet of paper is otherwise coated on a selected page, with the selected document sheet being placed on the selected page, with the document enclosed directly above the sheet having a protective layer away, a sewn tape made of bending material, especially propylene, PVC or the like, which is preferably smooth and non-perforated. Preferably, a polycarbonate or similar material is provided with a protective layer over at least a large portion, preferably over the entire side of the selected sheet, and at least also over a portion of said tape, with the inner edge of the protective layer located at the tape and at a suitable distance from the seam, so that when opening or closing a document, it does not rub against a sheet of paper or similar material, but onto said tape. The protective layer is fixed on the selected side and at least part of the strip at the same time by bonding with a persistent adhesive, in particular by means of a temperature-resistant adhesive having e.g. at least within a specified temperature range of the duroplast properties and is non-combustible, at least to a temperature at which the effects of heating are already visible on the at least one of the remaining security features of the document. Further, in one embodiment, the thickness of the protective layer in the strip area may be less than the thickness of the protective layer in the remaining areas of the side of the selected sheet over which the protective layer is placed.

Izum bo v nadaljevanju podrobneje obrazložen na osnovi primera izvedbe dokumenta v obliki knjižiice, kije na priloženi skici (Sl. 1) prikazan v razprtem stanju in v perspektivi.The invention will now be explained in greater detail on the basis of an exemplary embodiment of a document in the form of a booklet, which is shown in the unfolded state and in perspective in the accompanying drawing (Fig. 1).

Dokument sestoji iz platnic 1 in posameznih listov 2, 3, ki so v prikazanem primeru po sredini preganjeni in medsebojno povezani s šivom 4. Na listu 2 je ena stran 20 personalizirana, in sicer je prevlečena z zaščitno plastjo 5, na kateri so po eni strani natisnjeni osebni podatki, po drugi strani pa tudi želeni zaščitni elementi, ki na skici nisi prikazani. Preko lista 2 je v območju šiva 4 nameščen trak 6. Zaradi preglednosti je na sl. 1 poleg lista 2 predviden le še en nadaljnji list 3, ki je nameščen preko traku 6 in po sredini prav tako preganjen kot list 2 in platnice 1, obenem pa je z listom 2 in platnicami 1 povezan s pomočjo šiva 4.The document consists of covers 1 and individual sheets 2, 3, which, in the example shown, are folded centrally and interconnected with the seam 4. In sheet 2, one page 20 is personalized, which is coated with a protective layer 5, one on one pages that contain personal information printed and, on the other hand, the desired security features that are not shown in the sketch. Through sheet 2, a strip 6 is placed in the area of the seam 4. In addition to sheet 2, only one further sheet 3 is provided, which is positioned over tape 6 and folded centrally as sheet 2 and cover 1, while being connected to sheet 2 and cover 1 by a seam 4.

Trak 6 je izveden iz gradiva, ki brez težav prenaša upogibanje v območju šiva 4. Takšno gradivo je npr. polietilen ali tudi PVC ali podobna umetna snov, v tem primeru polietilen. Pri dokumentu po sl. 1 je preko strani 20 lista 2 iz papirja, sintetičnega papirja ali podobnega gradiva nameščena zaščitna plast s podatki, ki so še zlasti izpostavljeni ponarejanju ali prenarejanju, kar je glede na naravo oz. namen dokumenta potrebno karseda učinkovito preprečiti.Tape 6 is made of material that easily tolerates bending in the area of the seam 4. Such material is e.g. polyethylene or also PVC or similar plastics, in this case polyethylene. In the document of FIG. 1, a sheet of paper, synthetic paper or similar material is placed over the page 20 of sheet 2 with information particularly exposed to counterfeiting or tampering, which is by nature or nature. the purpose of the document should be effectively prevented.

Zaščitna plast 5, ki v prikazanem primeru sestoji iz polikarbonata, v splošnem pa lahko tudi iz drugega primernega gradiva, je na stran 20 lista 2 pritrjena s pomočjo lepilnega sloja 7, pri tem pa vsaj deloma sega tudi preko traku 6, na katerem je pritrjena na smiselno enak način kot na strani 20.The protective layer 5, which, in the example shown, consists of polycarbonate, and generally may be of other suitable material, is fixed to the sheet 20 of sheet 2 by means of an adhesive layer 7, extending at least in part through the tape 6 on which it is attached. in the same sense as on page 20.

Lepilni sloj 7 sestoji iz adhezivnega sredstva, v tem primeru lepila, ki se pod vplivom temperature, namreč vsaj do neke zgornje mejne temperature, ne zmehča, zato plasti 5 ni mogoče odstraniti brez že na prvi pogled očitnih poškodb. Pri izpostavljenosti dokumenta oz. strani 20 in plasti 5 na listu 2 temperaturi nad omenjeno zgornjo mejno temperaturo se predvidoma aktivira vsaj en zaščitni element, ki je prisoten na dokumentu, iz česar je na prvi pogled očitno, da obstaja možnost, da dokument ni pristen.The adhesive layer 7 consists of an adhesive agent, in which case the adhesive does not soften under the influence of temperature, at least to some upper limit temperature, so that the layer 5 cannot be removed without obvious damage at first sight. When exposing a document or page 20 and layer 5 on sheet 2 temperature above said upper limit temperature, at least one security element present on the document is expected to be activated, from which it is obvious at first glance that there is a possibility that the document is not authentic.

Notranji, proti šivu 4 obrnjeni rob 50 plasti 5 nalega na traku 6, tako da je pod trakom 6 nahajajoči se list 2 varovan proti drgnjenju s strani roba 50 zaščitne plasti 5.The inner edge of seam 4 facing the seam 4 rests on the strap 6 so that under sheet 6 the sheet 2 is secured against rubbing by the edge 50 of the protective layer 5.

Pri eni od možnih izvedb je debelina zaščitne plasti 5 v območju traku 6 manjša od debeline zaščitne plasti 5 v preostalih območjih na podatkovni strani 20.In one embodiment, the thickness of the protective layer 5 in the region of the strip 6 is less than the thickness of the protective layer 5 in the remaining areas on the data page 20.
