Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de sécurité pour l'identification de produits et notamment un dispositif constitué par une étiquette de sécurité destinée à être apposée sur des produits ou articles dont on souhaite identifier l'origine, comme par exemple les pièces détachées ou pièces de rechange de l'industrie automobile.The present invention relates to a security device for identifying products and in particular a device consisting of a security label intended to be affixed to products or articles of which it is desired to identify the origin, such as, for example, spare parts or automotive industry.
La plupart des articles commercialisés ou des pièces intermédiaires de l'industrie sont identifiés à l'aide d'étiquettes auto-adhésives, collées directement sur l'article ou collées sur l'emballage. Simultanément à l'information apportée sur la nature et les caractéristiques dudit article, cette étiquette indique l'origine et le nom du fabricant et/ou du revendeur.Most of the marketed articles or intermediate parts of the industry are identified using self-adhesive labels, stuck directly on the article or stuck on the packaging. Simultaneously with the information provided on the nature and characteristics of the said article, this label indicates the origin and name of the manufacturer and / or the reseller.
Cependant, dans certains secteurs industriels comme l'industrie automobile ou les parfums, il devient fréquent de trouver des articles contrefaits sur lesquels sont apposées des étiquettes en tous points identiques à celles portées par l'article original : de tels articles, dont la qualité peut être très inférieure à celle des pièces authentiques, peuvent être ainsi confondus avec les objets fournis par le fabricant véritable. Actuellement, les pertes financières causées par la contrefaçon des seules pièces de carrosseries d'automobiles sur le marché français sont très considérables.However, in certain industrial sectors such as the automobile industry or perfumes, it becomes frequent to find counterfeit articles on which labels are affixed in all points identical to those carried by the original article: such articles, the quality of which can be much lower than that of authentic parts, can be thus confused with the objects supplied by the real manufacturer. Currently, the financial losses caused by the counterfeiting of only auto body parts on the French market are very considerable.
Par ailleurs, notamment dans le domaine des pièces de rechange pour l'automobile, la qualité douteuse de certains articles contrefaits, comme par exemple des plaquettes de frein, peut nuire à la sécurité de l'utilisateur à son insu. En effet, certaines des plaquettes de frein non d'origine peuvent s'user au bout d'un temps relativement réduit, ce qui peut causer des accidents graves et même mortels. Le marquage de sécurité inaltérable est un des moyens possibles pour entraver le développement de la contrefaçon.Furthermore, especially in the field of automotive spare parts, the questionable quality of certain counterfeit items, such as brake pads for example, can harm the safety of the user without their knowledge. Indeed, some of the non-original brake pads can wear out after a relatively short time, which can cause serious and even fatal accidents. The unalterable security marking is one of the possible means to hinder the development of counterfeiting.
Une des solutions proposées consiste en des étiquettes auto-adhésives qui comprennent des signes ou des écrits imprimés avec une encre spéciale luminescente qui ne permet la lecture des écrits et/ou signes que si l'étiquette est soumise à un rayonnement ultraviolet. Un tel type d'étiquette reprend le principe d'un document sécuritaire notamment décrit dans la demande de brevet français FR-2 552 023, ledit document comprenant un support dépourvu d'agent fluorescent sur lequel est imprimé un pavé à l'aide d'une encre fluorescente visible sous un rayonnement ultraviolet et ce, dans le but de rendre le document non reproductible par photocopie.One of the proposed solutions consists of self-adhesive labels which include signs or writings printed with a special luminescent ink which allows reading of writings and / or signs only if the label is subjected to ultraviolet radiation. Such a type of label takes up the principle of a security document notably described in French patent application FR-2 552 023, said document comprising a support devoid of fluorescent agent on which a block is printed using a fluorescent ink visible under ultraviolet radiation, in order to make the document non-reproducible by photocopying.
La présente invention a pour but de proposer un dispositif d'identification de produits qui est de sécurité et simple à réaliser.The present invention aims to provide a product identification device which is safe and simple to perform.
La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif du type comprenant un support dans lequel sont dispersés des agents luminescents, et qui est caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend en outre au moins une partie opaque disposée sur au moins une partie luminescente du support, ladite partie opaque étant de même couleur que ladite partie luminescente et présentant au moins un contour qui est de couleur différente, le dispositif présentant sous l'effet d'un rayonnement prédéterminé dans le spectre non visible, une image différente de celle observée en lumière naturelle. Par lumière naturelle, on entend la lumière du jour ou la lumière artificielle utilisée couramment et obtenue par exemple au moyen de lampes à incandescence ou à décharge.The present invention relates to a device of the type comprising a support in which luminescent agents are dispersed, and which is characterized in that it further comprises at least one opaque part disposed on at least one luminescent part of the support, said part opaque being of the same color as said luminescent part and having at least one contour which is of different color, the device having under the effect of a predetermined radiation in the non-visible spectrum, an image different from that observed in natural light. By natural light is meant daylight or artificial light commonly used and obtained for example by means of incandescent or discharge lamps.
Un autre objet de la présente invention est une étiquette de sécurité du type comprenant des agents luminescents et qui est caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend également au moins une partie apparente imprimée avec une encre opaque de même couleur que le papier support, ladite encre opaque étant visible seulement sous un rayonnement ultraviolet et en ce que ladite partie imprimée avec l'encre opaque est délimitée par au moins un contour imprimé à l'encre de couleur différente de l'encre opaque.Another object of the present invention is a security label of the type comprising luminescent agents and which is characterized in that it also comprises at least one visible part printed with an opaque ink of the same color as the backing paper, said opaque ink. being visible only under ultraviolet radiation and in that said part printed with opaque ink is delimited by at least one contour printed with ink of color different from opaque ink.
Les dispositif et étiquettes selon la présente invention présentent l'avantage de ne pouvoir être identifiés à la lumière du jour qu'elle soit artificielle ou naturelle comme la lumière solaire et dont les moyens constitutifs sont difficiles à déceler même par des personnes averties.The devices and labels according to the present invention have the advantage of not being able to be identified by daylight, whether it be artificial or natural, such as sunlight, the constituent means of which are difficult to detect even by informed persons.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages ressortiront mieux à la lecture de plusieurs modes de réalisation selon l'invention, ainsi que des dessins annexés sur lesquels :
- la figure 1 est une vue en perspective schématique d'un dispositif selon l'invention.
- la figure 2 est une vue éclatée en perspective d'une étiquette imprimée en positif selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention,
- la figure 3 est une vue éclatée en perspective d'une étiquette imprimée en négatif selon un deuxième mode de réalisation de l'invention.
- la figure 4 est une vue éclatée en perspective d'une étiquette imprimée en positif selon un troisième mode de réalisation de l'invention.
- Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of a device according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of a label printed in positive according to a first embodiment of the invention,
- Figure 3 is an exploded perspective view of a label printed in negative according to a second embodiment of the invention.
- Figure 4 is an exploded perspective view of a label printed in positive according to a third embodiment of the invention.
Le dispositif selon l'invention et représenté sur la figure 1 comprend un support 1 dans lequel sont dispersés des agents luminescents, de préférence sur toute la surface dudit support dont la couleur est par exemple blanche. Au moins une partie opaque 2, de même couleur que le support 1, blanche en l'occurrence, est disposée sur ledit support et délimitée par un contour 3 qui est de couleur différente, par exemple noire. L'intérieur 4 de la partie opaque 2, ne doit pas être différencié du support 1 à la lumière naturelle mais seulement identifiable sous un rayonnement prédéterminé tel qu'un rayonnement ultraviolet.The device according to the invention and shown in FIG. 1 comprises a support 1 in which luminescent agents are dispersed, preferably over the entire surface of said support, the color of which is for example white. At least one
Dans le cas où la partie opaque recevrait une impression. cette dernière pourra être en positif ou en négatif comme cela est décrit à propos des modes de réalisation représentés sur les figures 2 à 4.In case the opaque part receives an impression. the latter may be positive or negative as described with regard to the embodiments shown in FIGS. 2 to 4.
Une étiquette selon l'invention est imprimée sur un support contenant des agents de luminescence: de préférence, ce support sera un papier blanc de type vélin ou couché. etc... qui contient d'origine des azurants optiques destinés à renforcer la couleur blanche de ce papier; on peut également utiliser d'autres types de support, par exemple des films en matières synthétiques comme du polyester, du polypropylène, à condition que ces matières contiennent des agents luminescents. Ce support est ensuite imprimé avec une encre blanche opaque, ne contenant pas d'agents luminescents, puis à nouveau imprimé avec une ou plusieurs encres de couleur pour inscrire les informations habituellement portées par une étiquette. Les impressions à l'encre blanche et à l'encre de couleur sont réalisées de telle façon que les zones imprimées à l'encre blanche opaque restant visibles sont délimitées par des zones imprimées à l'encre de couleur : de cette façon, il n'existe aucun endroit qui serait susceptible de faire apparaître un léger contraste existant entre le papier blanc et l'encre blanche et qui pourrait être détectable à la lumière ambiante, naturelle ou artificielle. Seul un rayonnement ultraviolet peut faire apparaître une nette différence de luminescence entre les zones imprimées à l'encre blanche qui apparaissent foncées et le papier blanc qui est luminescent.A label according to the invention is printed on a support containing luminescent agents: preferably, this support will be white paper of the vellum or coated type. etc ... which originally contains optical brighteners intended to enhance the white color of this paper; other types of support can also be used, for example films made of synthetic materials such as polyester, polypropylene, provided that these materials contain luminescent agents. This support is then printed with an opaque white ink, containing no agents luminescent, then printed again with one or more colored inks to write the information usually carried by a label. The prints in white ink and in colored ink are carried out in such a way that the areas printed in opaque white ink remaining visible are delimited by areas printed in colored ink: in this way, there n There is no place that could reveal a slight contrast between white paper and white ink and that could be detectable in ambient, natural or artificial light. Only ultraviolet radiation can show a clear difference in luminescence between the areas printed in white ink which appear dark and the white paper which is luminescent.
Les étiquettes ainsi imprimées permettent d'authentifier les articles sur lesquels elles sont apposées en raison de la présence de signes distinctifs, non visibles à la lumière ambiante ordinaire.The labels thus printed make it possible to authenticate the articles on which they are affixed because of the presence of distinctive signs, not visible in ordinary ambient light.
Ces étiquettes peuvent être fixées à l'aide d'un lien mais on préfère les étiquettes collées ou auto-adhésives qui ne peuvent pas être séparées de l'article sans se détruire.These labels can be attached using a link, but we prefer glued or self-adhesive labels which cannot be separated from the article without destroying themselves.
Selon le mode de réalisation de la figure 2, on utilise un support 21 adhésivé et muni d'un protecteur pour fabriquer l'étiquette. Ce support est en papier blanc, et contient des agents luminescents destinés à renforcer le blanc à la lumière ambiante. Ce support est imprimé en positif avec des lettres et signes 23 formant par exemple le logo d'une société. Certaines parties fermées des lettres, comme par exemple le centre de la lettre O de référence 22, sont imprimées avec une encre blanche opaque : à la lumière du jour, le nom apparaît de façon habituelle. Sous un rayonnement ultraviolet, le nom apparaîtra de façon différente puisque la lettre O aura alors la forme d'un disque plein et n'aura plus la forme habituelle d'un anneau.According to the embodiment of Figure 2, using a
Selon le mode de réalisation de la figure 3, on utilise pour fabriquer l'étiquette, un support 31, en papier vélin blanc contenant des agents de luminescence, adhésivé et muni d'un protecteur. On imprime, sur une partie de l'étiquette, un pavé rectangulaire 32 de dimension a x b avec de l'encre blanche opaque. Après séchage de l'encre, on imprime, avec l'encre de couleur, un second pavé 33 contenant une impression en négatif ou en réserve du sigle de la société, ce second pavé 33 étant de dimension a x b exactement superposé au pavé d'encre blanche 32. De cette façon, les caractères du sigle sont imprimés avec l'encre blanche et, au contraire d'une impression classique en réserve qui montrerait ces caractères luminescents sous un rayonnement ultraviolet, l'étiquette selon l'invention ne laisse pas apparaître les caractères sous le rayonnement ultraviolet.According to the embodiment of Figure 3, used to manufacture the label, a
Le mode de réalisation de la figure 4 a été réalisé selon le même principe que celui de la figure 1, mais les parties fermées des lettres P, A et O ont été imprimées à l'encre blanche.The embodiment of FIG. 4 has been produced according to the same principle as that of FIG. 1, but the closed parts of the letters P, A and O have been printed in white ink.
Ces trois exemples sont donnés pour illustrer l'invention, mais ne sauraient en limiter la portée; il est en effet possible de combiner à l'infini les impressions avec les encres de couleur et l'encre opaque blanche pour obtenir des impressions de type sécuritaire. Les exemples ont été décrits en utilisant un papier blanc qui présente l'avantage de contenir dès sa fabrication des agents luminescents ; on peut également utiliser d'autres supports, par exemple des films en matière de synthèse, tel que du polyester ou du polypropylène, qui sont spécialement imprégnés ou enduits avec des agents luminescents ; en variante de l'invention, le support de l'étiquette peut être d'une couleur claire autre que blanche et dans ce cas, on utilise une encre opaque présentant, à la lumière ambiante du jour, une couleur identique à celle du support. Ainsi, par l'utilisation d'une étiquette selon l'invention, il sera possible, simplement et rapidement, de vérifier l'authenticité d'un objet en s'assurant de la conformité de l'étiquette, celle-ci ayant un aspect habituel à la lumière ambiante du jour, mais une apparence particulière sous un rayonnement ultraviolet.These three examples are given to illustrate the invention, but should not limit its scope; it is indeed possible to combine infinitely the prints with colored inks and white opaque ink to obtain secure type prints. The examples have been described using white paper which has the advantage of containing luminescent agents as soon as it is produced; other supports can also be used, for example synthetic films, such as polyester or polypropylene, which are specially impregnated or coated with luminescent agents; as a variant of the invention, the label support can be of a light color other than white and in this case, an opaque ink is used which, in ambient light, has a color identical to that of the support. Thus, by the use of a label according to the invention, it will be possible, simply and quickly, to verify the authenticity of an object by ensuring the conformity of the label, the latter having an appearance usual in ambient daylight, but a particular appearance under ultraviolet radiation.
De telles étiquettes comprenant une impression sécuritaire sont plus particulièrement destinées à identifier et authentifier des objets ou articles sujets à la contrefaçon, comme par exemple des pièces détachées d'automobile ou des articles de haute valeur de l'industrie de luxe.Such labels including secure printing are more particularly intended to identify and authenticate objects or articles subject to counterfeiting, such as for example automobile spare parts or high-value articles from the luxury industry.
Une autre application du dispositif selon l'invention est l'authentification de documents contenant des informations importantes, lesdits documents comportant des parties imprimées selon l'invention ; ces parties imprimées peuvent être obtenues par une impression ou au moyen d'une étiquette auto-adhésive telle que celles décrites ci-dessus.Another application of the device according to the invention is the authentication of documents containing important information, said documents comprising parts printed according to the invention; these printed parts can be obtained by printing or by means of a self-adhesive label such as those described above.
