Publication number: 20100231846Abstract: The present invention relates to improvements in security devices that can be used in varying shapes and sizes for various authenticating or security applications, particularly an optically variable security device utilising liquid crystal materials. The security device comprises a liquid crystal layer (11), an at least partially absorbing layer (12) adjacent at least a part of one side of the liquid crystal layer (11), and at least one customising region (13) which is adjacent at least a part of an opposite side of the liquid crystal layer (11) to the absorbing layer (12) in selected regions. The at least one customising region (13) modifies the colour shifting properties of the liquid crystal layer (11) such that at least two contrasting optically variable regions are provided by the regions covered by the at least one customising region and regions not covered by the at least one customising region.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 25, 2007Publication date: September 16, 2010Inventors: Lawrence Commander, Adam Jeacock, Carole Lesley Foster

Patent number: 7686910Abstract: A method and a device for the automated application of a self-adhesive paint film to a three-dimensionally curved bodywork part, using a robotic application tool, the paint film being held ready in the form of a multi-layered film composite ready for picking up. After picking up has taken place, a protective strip on the adhesive side is removed from the film section, which is held taut, by means of a contact piece attached to the film composite on the end side and the adhesive side of the film section is thereby exposed. The paint film section is subsequently aligned above the body part to be covered, at a small distance from it, and is progressively pressed onto the bodywork part from the spaced-apart, taut position by means of a roller or doctor moving over the paint film.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2004Date of Patent: March 30, 2010Assignee: Daimler AGInventors: Uwe Habisreitinger, Bernhard Nordmann

Publication number: 20100065193Abstract: The aim of the invention is to diversify film coating in a coating station for transferring image-providing layers from a transfer film onto a printing material. For this purpose, a film transfer module is arranged in a printing press for single-color or multicolor printing of printed sheets. One or more devices for producing a surface structure on the printing material are arranged in the printing press upstream of a film transfer module. A design from a film image and a printed image is partially or completely covered by applying layers. The additional layers serve for the protection, for drying and for producing optical effects.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 4, 2007Publication date: March 18, 2010Inventors: Uwe Puschel, Jurgen Scholzig
