Patent number: 7744797Abstract: A multilayer security element with at least two security features exactly disposed to each other is produced by the security features being present on separate carrier foils (100, 200) and the carrier foils being laminated with each other in such a way that the security features in the layer compound are disposed to each other in register. As to achieve an exact register of the security features, each carrier foil has register marks, with the help of which the foils are controlled relative to each other. The controlling is effected by stretching that carrier foil, the security features of which are running behind relative to the security features of the respective other carrier foil.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2003Date of Patent: June 29, 2010Assignee: Giesecke & Devrient GmbHInventor: Theo Burchard

Patent number: 6474695Abstract: A security element in the form of a thread or strip to be embedded in security documents such as bank notes, checks, bonds, identity cards, credit cards or the like, having characters, patterns, etc., that are readable by transmitted light to the naked eye and/or by machine. The security element consists of a transparent plastic film having an opaque coating extending over the element with blank areas in the form of the characters and patterns to be introduced. The security element also contains, in areas congruent with the blank areas, coloring and/or luminescent substances which cause the characters and/or patterns to differ from the security document and from the opaque coating by color contrast under suitable light conditions.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2000Date of Patent: November 5, 2002Assignee: GAO Gessellschaft fur Automation und Organisation GmbHInventors: Walter Schneider, Theo Burchard

Patent number: 6343745Abstract: The invention relates to a security element for a security document such as a bank note, ID card or the like consisting of a translucent plastic layer having an opaque layer with gaps in the form of characters, patterns or the like recognizable in transmitted light. Additionally the security element has a magnetic layer in the form of spaced-apart magnetic areas forming a coding, the gaps recognizable in transmitted light being disposed in the magnetic layer-free intermediate areas of the coding.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 1999Date of Patent: February 5, 2002Assignee: Giesecke & Devrient GmbHInventors: Michael Bohm, Theo Burchard, Christian Schmitz

Patent number: 5876068Abstract: A security element in the form of a thread or strip to be embedded in security documents such as bank notes, checks, bonds, identity cards, credit cards or the like, having characters, patterns, etc., that are readable by transmitted light to the naked eye and/or by machine. The security element consists of a transparent plastic film having an opaque coating extending over the element with recesses in the form of the characters and patterns to be introduced. The security element also contains, in areas congruent with the recesses, coloring and/or luminescent substances which cause the characters and/or patterns to differ from the security document and from the opaque coating by color contrast under suitable light conditions.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 1996Date of Patent: March 2, 1999Assignee: GAO Gessellschaft fur Automation und Organisation GmbHInventors: Walter Schneider, Theo Burchard
