Description

The invention relates to a method for producing a coated carrier material consisting of fibers as well as a tab, a data page, a book block and a valuable and/or security document. The invention further relates to a coated carrier material, a tab, a data page, a book block and a valuable and/or security document.

From the DE 10 2014 119 529 A1 A method for producing fiber-reinforced semi-finished products is known in which a fiber mat is impregnated with a plastic. It is provided that a sandwich structure is created by laying a fiber mat and a plastic film on top of each other and that this sandwich structure is heated, whereby to heat the sandwich structure, it is positioned between and in contact with a sealing surface of a sonotrode and a sealing surface of a counter tool and the sonotrode is subjected to ultrasonic vibrations.

From the DE 10 2012 019 308 A1 An inlay for a multilayer data carrier is produced. This inlay has a fabric layer that is intimately connected to a plastic layer. This plastic layer fills the mesh of the fabric so that the inlay has a closed, profiled surface.

From the US 2016/0355045 A1 A book-like security document is also known. A flap is made of a fabric that is filled with a polymer coating.

The DE 10 2016 218 040 A1 A device for producing a data card for a book-like value or security document is known. A book-like document consisting of a data page, at least one inside page and a book cover is produced within a processing unit.

From the DE 10 2012 112 383 A1 A method for producing a data page for a book-like document is known, in which the data page comprises a data carrier and a flexible band material arranged thereon as a tab, which are permanently connected to one another in an overlapping area. This flexible band material is provided as an endless band and is fed to the data carrier by a feed device in order to connect the tab to the data carrier to form the data page.

From the DE 10 2016 125 230 A1 Such a data carrier with a tab attached to it to form a data page is known. The tab consists of a fabric-like tape material and includes a plastic fabric. At least one security feature is introduced into the tab using IR radiation with at least one laser beam. The tab is labeled using this laser beam. The fabric-like tape material can be changed and thus individualized by the laser beam during labeling.

From the DE 10 2014 217 716 A1 To protect against manipulation by removing a data carrier from a booklet or book-shaped document, the data carrier is provided with a print that is provided in an overlapping area within which the tab is attached to the data carrier. The textile material of the tab touches the print or penetrates completely or partially. Offset, flexo and screen printing processes as well as digital printing processes can be used for printing. By applying the tab to the print provided on the data side, the printed mark and/or security feature is distorted or partially invisible by the fabric-like tape material, since the tab is applied and/or inserted onto the data side in the overlapping area.

From the EP 2 001 686 B1 Furthermore, a valuable and/or security document with a data page is known. This data page comprises a data carrier with a tab attached to it in the overlapping area. The data carrier consists of one or more layers of a plastic material. The tab consists of a polyester fabric coated on both sides. The tab is connected to the data carrier using an ultrasound process.

The invention is based on the object of proposing a method for producing a coated carrier material consisting of fibers as well as a tab, a data page, a book block and a value and/or security document, in which the security against forgery is increased and manipulation is prevented or made more difficult.

Furthermore, the invention is based on the object of proposing a coated carrier material made of fibers, a tab, a data page with such a tab as well as a book block and a value and/or security document which comprises a data page with the tab, in which the security against forgery is increased and manipulation is prevented or made more difficult.

This object is achieved by a process for producing a coated carrier material consisting of fibres, in which a Processing station is formed by an anvil and a stamp, between which the carrier material to be coated and a coating film are positioned and in which the stamp is excited with ultrasonic vibrations and the carrier material consisting of fibers is completely filled with the coating film, at least in the format of the stamp surface of the stamp. This allows the carrier material to be coated or laminated with the coating film. The coating film penetrates completely into the carrier material. This allows the individual fibers to be bound by the coating material of the coating film, which prevents individual fibers from being removed from the carrier material. In particular, individual fibers can be introduced as safety fibers which can no longer be removed by filling the carrier material with the coating film using the ultrasonic process. In addition, such a coating can have the advantage that the carrier material consisting of fibers can be sealed against gases or liquids, for example. In some cases, increased flexibility and protection against mechanical wear can be provided. Depending on the coating film applied, protection against environmental influences such as UV rays, heat and/or cold can also be provided. The feel can also be improved.

It is preferably provided that the stamp is fed onto the coating film and that before, during or after the formation of contact points between the thread bellies of a fabric or the fibers of the carrier material and the coating film, the at least one coating film is excited with ultrasound. By applying ultrasound, the thread bellies or the fibers can act as energy directors, so that within a very short time, the carrier material and in particular the coating film are activated and heated in the area of a stamp surface of the stamp in order to achieve filling.

The coating film is fed to the processing station on a carrier layer. A transfer layer is provided between the carrier layer and the coating film, which is activated when exposed to ultrasound to detach the coating film from the carrier layer. The specific heat generated is sufficient to soften and detach the transfer layer, which is in particular designed as a wax layer. Providing the coating film on the carrier also has the advantage that the stamp surface remains free of residues while the carrier material is being filled. Alternatively, the stamp surface of the stamp can also be provided with a non-adhesive coating, so that the coating film can be provided without a carrier layer.

Preferably, a mesh-shaped fabric, a knitted fabric, a knitted fabric, a fleece or a felt is coated as the carrier material. With these carrier materials, the gaps in the carrier material can be completely filled by the coating film or the coating material and the detachment of individual fibers can be prevented.

Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the fibers of the carrier material consist of a thermoplastic polymer material, textiles and/or metallic materials or a mixture thereof. Hybrid fibers can also be used in which, for example, at least one outer shell is made of a thermoplastic plastic. Particularly preferably, the carrier material can be made exclusively of plastic threads, in particular as a PET fabric.

In order to achieve complete coating of the carrier material consisting of fibers, it is preferably provided that the coating film has a lower melting point than the carrier material.

According to a first embodiment of the method, the carrier material is directed directly towards the stamping surface of the stamp and is fed to the processing station. The thread bellies of the fabric can act as energy directors and heat and soften the coating film from the contact points. According to an alternative embodiment, a coating film can also be positioned between the stamping surface and the carrier material. This can achieve an equivalent result.

Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the stamp has a flat stamping surface and is moved towards the anvil with a lifting movement in order to coat the carrier material with the coating film. This allows the carrier material to be filled in cycles, with the area of the filling being determined and limited by the stamping surface of the stamp. This method is used in particular for partial coating or for applying a pattern to a coating in the carrier material consisting of fibers.

Alternatively, the stamp may be designed as a cylindrical stamp surface and the anvil has a cylindrical counter surface, so that the carrier material and the coating film are guided through a coating gap. Such an arrangement enables a continuous coating of the carrier material. In this process, the stamp, which is designed as a roller, can be excited with vibrations, whereby the introduced axial vibration can be converted into a radial vibration perpendicular to the coating gap via the Poisson's ratio of the roller material.

A further preferred embodiment of the method provides that the coating film is printed on one side or is provided printed on one side and then the carrier material is coated with the printed coating film. This enables the carrier material consisting of fibers to be filled and the printing to be applied at the same time. In particular, colored printing can be provided.

The object underlying the invention is further achieved by a method for producing a tab for a value and/or security document, in which a strip material for forming the tab is provided and fed to a processing station, wherein the strip material is at least partially coated as a carrier material using a method according to one of the previously described embodiments.

When coating the tab, it is preferable to provide a coating only in certain areas. This can also be in the form of a label or with other markings, symbols or the like, for example. This coating, which is introduced into the strip material of the tab, can also be provided in an overlap area with the data carrier, in which the tab is attached to the data carrier by means of an ultrasonic connection to form the data side.

The object underlying the invention is further achieved by a method for producing a data page for a value and/or security document, in which a tab is provided according to one of the previously described embodiments of the method and is connected to the data carrier to form an overlapping region.

The object underlying the invention is alternatively achieved by a method for producing a data page for a value and/or security element, in which the tab made of a strip material is filled with at least one surface section of the coating film according to one of the preceding embodiments after being connected to the data carrier to form an overlapping region as carrier material.

The object underlying the invention is further achieved by a method for producing a book block for a value and/or security document, in which an inner page or several stacked inner pages are brought together with a data page to form a stack and connected to one another, wherein the tab of the data page and the inner page are connected to one another, in particular sewn.

Alternatively, the object underlying the invention is achieved by a method for producing a book block for a value and/or security document, in which a data page, consisting of a data carrier and a tab with a band material, which are connected to one another in the overlapping area, and the at least one inner side are connected to one another and after the tab has been connected to the at least one inner side, the tab as a carrier material with at least one surface section is filled with the coating film according to one of the above embodiments.

The object underlying the invention is further achieved by a method for producing a value and/or security document, in which at least one inner page, a data page according to one of the above-described embodiments and a book cover are bound together or a book block according to one of the above-described embodiments is connected to a book cover.

Alternatively, it is provided that the at least one inner side, the data side, which comprises a data carrier and a tab with a band material, which are connected to one another in the overlapping region, and the book cover are brought together and connected to one another and the band material as carrier material is filled with at least one surface section of the coating film according to one of the previously described embodiments.

The object underlying the invention is further achieved by a carrier material which consists of fibers and is coated, in which a coating film penetrates into the carrier material and completely fills the gaps between the fibers. As a result, the carrier material can be completely filled at least in some areas by the material of the coating film, whereby specific property profiles can be achieved which are designed specifically for the application. For example, protection against mechanical wear, especially at a kink, can be achieved. Furthermore, protection against fraying and protection against environmental influences such as UV rays, moisture, wetness, heat and/or cold can be provided.

The carrier material advantageously consists of a mesh-shaped fabric. In particular, a mesh-shaped fabric with an open fabric area of, for example, 20 to 80% is provided. Furthermore, the carrier material can comprise a fleece, a felt, a knitted fabric or a knit.

The coating film preferably consists of a thermoplastic polymer material, in particular ethylene-vinyl acetate polymer, soft PVC, polyether, polyol, polyurethane.

Furthermore, the carrier material has a higher modulus of elasticity than the coating material. When the coating film is introduced into the carrier material using ultrasound, the carrier material, which consists of fibers, can retain its contour.

Advantageously, the melting temperature of the carrier material is higher than that of the coating film. This allows for a faster working process and ensures that the carrier material is completely filled. In particular, it is intended that the melting temperature or glass transition temperature of the carrier material is at least 20°C higher than that of the coating film.

Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the structure-borne sound insulation of the coating film is higher than that of the carrier material. This allows the material of the coating film to soften more quickly and improves filling.

The object underlying the invention is further achieved by a tab for a data page of a value and/or security document, in which the strip material of the tab is designed as a coated carrier material according to one of the preceding embodiments.

The object underlying the invention is further achieved by a data page for a value and/or security document with a data carrier and a tab, in which the tab is produced according to one of the embodiments described above.

Furthermore, the object underlying the invention is achieved by a book block for a value and/or security document, in which previously described data pages are connected, in particular sewn, to at least one inner page.

The object underlying the invention is achieved by a valuable and/or security document in which a book block or a data page according to one of the previously described embodiments is bound into a book cover.

In 1 a valuable and/or security document 11 is shown in perspective. This valuable and/or security document 11 is, for example, a book-like identification document such as a passport. The document 11 comprises, for example, a book cover 12. On an inner side of the book cover 12, an endpaper 14 can be provided, which is attached to the book cover 12. A data page 17 and one or more inner pages 18 are connected to one another to form a book block 15. If a book cover 12 and in particular the endpaper 14 are provided, this endpaper 14 or this endpaper 14 together with the book cover 12 can also be connected to the book block 15 with the seam 16. The inner pages 18 of the valuables and/or security document 11 can be used, for example, to accommodate visas, stamps or other entries. The data page 17 consists of a data carrier 20 and a tab 23 attached to it. The data page 17, in particular the data carrier 20, can, for example, be designed in accordance with the ICAO standard, in particular in accordance with I-CAO Doc 9303, 7th edition, and can include an image 19 of the document holder, an OCR-readable ICAO zone 21 (also called “machine readable zone” or “MRZ”) and further personalization data 22. The personalization data 22 are provided within the data carrier 20. The tab 23 of the data carrier 20 extends over the seam 16. This tab 23 also includes a seam area in which the seam 16 is formed. In addition or as an alternative to the seam 16, an adhesive and/or welded connection can be provided in order to incorporate the tab 23 into the valuable and/or security document 11, in particular the book block 15.

In 2 A side view of the data side 17 is shown schematically. The data carrier 20 can, for example, comprise a transponder module 24, which comprises an IC chip 25 and an antenna 26. In addition or alternatively, further electronic and/or other security elements, in particular diffractive security elements, can be incorporated and/or applied.

The tab 23 is connected to the data carrier 20 to form an overlapping area 30. The tab 23 comprises a strip material which is preferably connected by welding to an outermost layer or ply of the data carrier 20. In particular, the tab 23 can consist of the fabric-like strip material, preferably a PET fabric. With regard to the connection of the tab 23 of the fabric-like strip material for the tab 23 and the data carrier 20 as well as the structure of the data carrier 20, the DE 10 2012 213 913 A1 reference is made.

The data side 17 has an upper and lower front edge 35, 36. The tab 23 has an upper edge and a lower edge or an upper and lower front side 37, 38, which can be set back inwards relative to the front edges 35, 36.

In 3 is a schematic sectional view along the line II-II in 2 according to a first exemplary structure of the data page 17 before lamination. After lamination, all layers of the data carrier 20 and the tab 23 are connected to one another to form a data page 17, so that a monolithic structure is provided.

The data carrier 20 comprises a front booklet 28 and a back booklet 29, with the tab 23 being applied to the front booklet 28, for example. This forms an overlapping area 30. Opposite this, a protruding area 31 is formed, along which the seam 16 for binding the tab 23 into the value and/or security document 11 runs. The front booklet 28, which can also be referred to as a data page booklet, comprises at least one layer 32. The layer 32 can also be printable. Preferably, several layers are provided to form the front booklet 28, such as a printing layer, which can be opaque, with a further layer being applied to the printing layer, which is advantageously transparent.

The back cover 29 can also comprise at least one layer 34 or have an analogous or different structure to the front cover 28. The front and/or back cover 28, 29 can comprise various security features, such as a CLI feature (Changeable Laser Image) or an MLI (Multiple Laser Image) as well as printed images with optically variable color (OVF) or the like.

The at least one layer 32 of the front booklet 28 and/or the at least one layer 34 of the back booklet 29 can be made from one or more plastics (polymers). In particular, these comprise polycarbonate (PC) or consist of PC. Other alternatives can be: bisphenol A polycarbonate, carboxy-modified PC, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), its derivatives such as glycol-modified PET (PETG), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyvinyl butyral (PVB), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polyimide (PI), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polystyrene (PS), polyvinylphenol (PVP), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), in particular thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS), and/or their derivatives, or from paper and/or cardboard or from mixtures of the aforementioned materials.

The tab 23 is according to detail X in 2 enlarged in a top view in 4 According to this embodiment, the tab 23 is designed as a fabric. This fabric can comprise weft and warp threads 43, 44 made of plastic threads. Alternatively, this fabric can also contain textile threads and/or metallic threads and/or be made from a composite of different threads.

A thermoplastic material, in particular a polyester, for example polyethylene terephthalate (PET), is preferably used as the fabric-like band material for the tab 23. The melting point or the glass transition temperature of the meltable material of the fabric-like band material is preferably adapted to the material properties of the data carrier. The melting and/or glass transition temperature of the tab 23 and the melting and/or glass transition temperature of the data carrier 20 are coordinated with one another, so that when the tab 23 is connected to the data carrier 20, the fabric-like band material of the tab 23 has not yet softened, but at least the layer 32, so that the fabric meshes are at least enclosed by the softened material of the layer 32.

From the schematic sectional view according to 3 It can be seen that the tab 23 is applied on one side to the top of the layer 32, whereby in this embodiment the layer 32 comprises a receiving area 46. This receiving area 46 is formed by reducing the wall thickness of the layer 32. In principle, this enables an almost step-free integration of the tab 23 in the overlap area 30 to an adjacent surface of the layer 32 of the data carrier 20. The tab 23 can also be connected to the layer 34 in an analogous manner.

In 5 an alternative embodiment for attaching the tab 23 to the data carrier 20 to form the data page 17 is shown. The receiving area 46 is not provided. Depending on the mesh size of the tab 23 and/or the pressure of a laminating tool or welding tool, the tab 23 is penetrated into the overlapping area 30 after the tab 23 and/or the layer 32 has been at least partially melted or fused.

In 6 1 shows a schematic enlarged view of a portion of the tab 23 and the data carrier 20. The tab 23 has, for example, a partial coating 47, which can form a security feature. This coating 47 can be lines, letters, numbers, symbols, lettering, pictograms, motifs or the like or any combination. Such a coating 47 can be carried out, for example, in a processing station 51, as shown in 7 is shown schematically.

The processing station 51 according to 7 comprises an anvil 52 with a support surface 53 on which a carrier material 56, which can in particular form the strip material of the tab 23 or the fabric-like strip material of the tab 23, rests. A stamp 54 is provided opposite the anvil 52, which has a stamp surface 55. Alternatively, this stamp 54 can also have several stamp surfaces 55 in order to achieve a partial coating 47. In the embodiment according to 7 a coating film 58 is passed between the stamp 54 and the tab 23, which can be guided and cycled through a transport and tensioning roller 61, 62 on both the input and output sides. The carrier material 56 is shown schematically enlarged. This carrier material 56 is designed, for example, as a fabric with warp and weft threads 43, 44. Both the warp threads 43 and the weft threads 44 form thread bellies 64, which are aligned towards the outside of the carrier material 56. The thread bellies 64 are preferably located in a plane on an outside of the carrier material 56.

The coating film 58 passed through the processing station 51 is provided on a carrier layer 59. A transfer layer, such as wax, is preferably provided between the coating film 58 and the carrier layer 59. This creates a so-called release layer, in which the coating film 58 can be easily detached from the carrier layer 59 when the transfer layer is heated.

To apply individual surface sections of the coating film 58 or a full-surface coating to the carrier material 56, the stamp 54 is operated as a sonotrode. The stamp 54 is excited with ultrasonic vibrations. This initially generates heat in the area in which the coating film 58 rests on the stamp surface 55 on the one hand and forms a point of contact with the respective thread bellies 64 on the other. The release layer enables the coating film 58 to be lifted off the carrier layer 59. The further activation of the stamp 54 heats and softens the coating film 58, so that when the stamp 54 is further guided in the direction of the anvil 52, the spaces between the warp and weft threads 43, 44 are completely filled with the material of the coating film 58. After the gaps in the carrier material 56 have been filled, the ultrasonic excitation of the stamp 54 is switched off and the stamp 54 is lifted off.

By designing the thread bellies 64 as energy directors, only in the Area of the stamp surface 55 of the stamp 54 generates heat energy and introduces it into the coating film 58. This also ensures that neighboring areas do not heat up.

The carrier material 56 can also be designed as a fleece or felt, for example. The individual fibers protruding to the outside can also act as energy directors. This creates the analogous effect described above. The coating film 58 can penetrate into the gaps between the fibers after heating. The coating material of the coating film 58 completely fills the carrier material 56.

In 8 an alternative production of the coated carrier material 56 consisting of fibers is shown. Only the position of the carrier material 56 and the coating film 58 between the stamp 54 and the anvil 52 is swapped.

In both alternatives according to 7 and 8 The same effect and a uniform result can be achieved. The complete introduction of the coating film 58 into the carrier material 56 is in 9 The coating film 58 is applied in the format of the stamp surface 55 of the stamp 54. The gaps or open fabric meshes are completely filled with the material of the coating film 58. The flat support surface 53 on the anvil 52 and the flat stamp surface 55 on the stamp 54 also make it possible to achieve a flat outer side of the coated area 66. Alternatively, it can be provided that the stamp surface 55 and/or support surface 53 can be structured in the coated area 66. This structuring can also differ from one another on the opposite outer sides.

Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the coating material of the coating film 58 is introduced into the carrier material 56 with a thickness that corresponds to the thickness of the carrier material 56. This allows the individual fibers or threads to be completely integrated.

The above statements on filling the carrier material 56 can be intended for producing the tab 23 for a security document. The filling of the carrier material 56 is only described as an example for the filling or coating of a carrier material 56 consisting of fibers and also applies to other carrier materials 56 consisting of fibers, such as a knitted fabric, a knitted fabric, a fleece or a felt analogously.

The carrier material 56 can be made entirely or partially from a polymer material, in particular from thermoplastic. When the carrier material is used as a tab, a thermoplastic, in particular a polyester, for example polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is preferably used. The carrier material 56 can be at least partially made of polyester. The melting point or the glass transition temperature of the meltable carrier material 56 for the tab 23 is preferably adapted to the material properties of the data carrier to which the tab 23 is attached. The melting and/or glass transition temperatures of the tab 23 and the data carrier are preferably similar (for example within a temperature range of 50°) so that the welding process can be carried out easily and without errors. In addition, the carrier material can consist partly or entirely of a textile material, in particular cotton. A cotton-polymer mixture, in particular a cotton-polyester mixture, can also be used. Furthermore, the carrier material 56 can be made of at least two different materials (mixed fabric), one of which melts when the tab is welded to the data carrier and the other material does not bond to the data carrier during the welding process. The sealing film is designed in such a way that it heats up and melts in order to fill the gaps in the carrier material made of fibers, but does not further influence the shape and form of the carrier material.
