Description

The invention relates to a method for producing a book-type value and / or security document and to a book-like value and / or security document in which a book cover and a book block are bonded together to form the document by gluing.

From the DE 10 2004 008 841 A1 For example, a value and / or security document is known which comprises a book cover and a book block which are connected to one another. The book block consists of a header, a Personalisierdatenseite and other data pages or inner pages that are sewn together. To connect the book block with the book cover, the attachment is glued to the book cover.

In making such a book-type value and / or security document, a wet glue is used to bond the attachment to the book cover. The further processing of such a value and / or security document can only be carried out after the wet glue has dried to avoid possible impairments.

The invention has for its object to provide a method for producing a book-like value and / or security document and a book-like value and / or security document in which within a very short time after connecting the book cover and the book block further processing is possible.

This object is achieved by a method for producing a book-like value and / or security document, in which on an inner side of the book cover or on an outer side of the attachment a material web is applied with a double-sided adhesive layer and the intent and book cover aligned, merged and be permanently connected. By using the material web with the adhesive layer on both sides an immediate gluing of the attachment with the book cover, so that immediately subsequent processing is possible. A heat input, which would be required for the drying of a wet glue, is not needed. In addition, this method has the advantage that a permanent and secure bonding of the attachment can be done with the book cover. As a result, the security against manipulation is increased, since a destruction would take place when attempting a separation between the header and the book cover.

Furthermore, the web of material having the double-sided adhesive layer is cut to a width or provided with a prefabricated width which is smaller than the width of the raw sheet of the book cover or the header. This has the advantage that when merging the header and the book cover a lateral flow of the material web - if this should occur - is terminated before reaching the outer edges of the blank of the passbook cover. As a result, a lateral leakage of the adhesive material is advantageously prevented during the pressing together of intent and book cover, which can lead to a final format for cutting or stamping the book cover to a gluing or smearing of other parts of the system.

Furthermore, the web of material with the two-sided adhesive layer is cut to a length which is shorter than the length of the raw sheet of the book cover and the intent. This has the analogous advantage as in the previously described advantageous embodiment that the width of the material web is smaller than the raw dimension of the width of the book cover or intent.

The material web may have a thickness between 20 μm and 100 μm, in particular between 25 μm and 50 μm.

Furthermore, the material web can be applied with the two-sided adhesive layer on the book cover or the intent that all outer edges of the material web relative to the raw material of the book cover or the raw measure of intent are set back inside. As a result, advantageously a lateral exit of the material web against all outer edges of the book cover or the Offset when gluing the book block prevents the book cover, which in turn can be increased process reliability.

Preferably, the web is provided with the adhesive layer on both sides as a roll product with a protective film or carrier film applied on one side, in particular silicone paper, and the one, when unwinding the web liberated page with the adhesive layer applied to the book cover or intent and then the on the other side of the Material web provided protective film or carrier film deducted. This can be done quickly and easily. In particular, this can shorten the process time and increase productivity.

Preferably, the book cover and the attachment are connected by a Rollenlamination. As a result, a full-surface and permanent connection between the intent and the book cover can be achieved without blistering.

Furthermore, after joining the book block and the book cover, the document produced in the raw dimension is preferably cut to its final size in the unfolded or closed state. In this case, the cutting guide is preferably such or the material web relative to the outer edge of the attachment or book cover only set back so that when cutting or punching the document to the final dimension, the cut extends through the material provided with adhesive material web. This ensures complete bonding of the end edges then produced between the attachment and the book cover.

A further advantageous embodiment of the method provides that the book block is formed from a header extending on both sides to the fold area of the book-type value and / or security document and at least one data page extending on both sides to the fold area, and preferably a data carrier, in particular a personalization data page a tab is arranged, which extends over the fold region. Such a structure of a book block can safely through the web with the two-sided adhesive layer in the Book cover to be integrated.

Furthermore, preferably the attachment, the at least one data page and preferably the tab of the personalization data page are sewn together and / or welded together and / or laminated together. Advantageously, on the outside of the attachment, which points to the book cover to be glued, a reinforcement can be introduced in the folding area. This reinforcement may be formed as paper strips, fabric strips, strips of plastic film, or a combination thereof. As a result, a secure connection of the individual data pages and the data carrier, in particular the Personalisierdatenseite, given to the book block.

The double-sided adhesive material web preferably consists of a film which may consist of a thermoplastic elastomer or a polyolefin which has a double-sided adhesive layer, which may consist of rubber or acrylate, for example. Likewise, the material web may consist continuously of an adhesive film or a film, which has a double-sided adhesive effect.

The material web with the adhesive layer on both sides can also be designed as an adhesive strip which has a sticky surface on both sides. It will be understood that the web of material may be formed with a two-sided adhesive layer as a web of material which may be of a different material than the adhesive layer applied thereon, or the web of material itself forms the adhesive layer which has an adhesive effect on both sides.

The object underlying the invention is further achieved by a book-like value and / or security document with a book cover and a book block, wherein the book cover and the book block are connected to a provided on both sides with an adhesive layer material web according to one of the embodiments described above. With such a structure of the value and / or security document, a quick and permanent connection, in particular a bond, as well as a further processing can be achieved immediately after the merging of the book block and the book cover.

Furthermore, the book cover is preferably formed from one or more layers, which extend on both sides along a fold region and have a book cover front and back side, which are preferably congruent in the closed state of the document. Preferably, the at least one layer of the book cover extends continuously along the Buchdeckenvorder- and back. As a result, a simplification in the production or the application of the material web can be carried out with the adhesive layer on both sides.

The header, the data page and preferably the data carrier, in particular the Personalisierdatenseite are formed according to a preferred embodiment in a format that corresponds to the format of the book cover. This makes it possible, for example, that in a closed state of the value and / or security document with a punching process finishing takes place and a high dimensional accuracy of the components of the value and / or security document is given.
