  • Patent number: 7371301
    Abstract: A multilayer security document is proposed, wherein a printable carrier material (30) is connected to at least one at least partially transparent outer film or one at least partially transparent outer film composite (10). A photopolymer layer composite (30) is provided between the outer film or the outer film composite (10) and the carrier material (30), the photopolymer layer composite consisting of a photopolymer layer (24), the photopolymer layer being glued on both sides to a photopolymer outer film (22, 26). Information can be exposed into at least one region of the photopolymer layer (24). The photopolymer layer composite (20) is connected to the outer film or the outer film composite (10) and the carrier material (30). An inexpensive method for producing this multilayer security document is also proposed.

  • Patent number: 6986823
    Abstract: A process and an apparatus for producing a laminate, comprise at least one polymer film with information and at least one substrate, for further processing for forgery-proof documents, in which, in the first processing station, a supporting film is delaminated on a first side of the polymer film, after which a substrate is laminated on by an adhesive and subsequently exposed to a crosslinking-active radiation, and in which a laminate led out from the first processing station is fed to a second processing station, and the supporting film is delaminated on a second side of the laminate, after which a substrate is laminated on by an adhesive and subsequently exposed to a crosslinking-active radiation.

  • Patent number: 6750465
    Abstract: An apparatus for evaluating distinguishing authenticity features comprising diffraction elements on a document which is illuminated by an illumination source. The distinguishing authenticity element which is to be examined, diffracts the beam of the illuminating source and projects it onto an evaluating unit in the device. In order to be independent of the nature and location of the diffraction pattern, the diffraction pattern derived from the document to be examined is projected onto a screen and the image of the pattern recorded and evaluated by a camera (matrix or cells).

  • Publication number: 20020022112
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the production of multi-layer security products and to a security product produced in accordance with the process. The process is distinguished by the fact that the various layers of the security product are produced substantially separately from one another as rolled materials and are provided with security features, and the individual rolled webs are led together and joined to one another in a common processing process. The security products produced in this way are laser-active and can therefore be personalized by means of a laser.
