Patent number: 5492370Abstract: The article includes a substrate which is composed of a single ply that contains both a structure for generating a viewable optically variable effect, such as a hologram, and carries an indicia receptive coating. The indicia receptive coating covers the single ply such that at least part of the optically variable effect is visible. The indicia receptive coating may receive printed indicia such as security indicia, alphanumeric character shapes, symbols, and bar codes. The article with the single ply that contains viewable optically variable effect and also carries the printed indicia, is more tamper resistant than previous identification documents. It is very difficult, if not impossible, to alter the printed indicia without also altering the structure that generates the viewable optically variable effect or vice versa.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 1993Date of Patent: February 20, 1996Assignee: De La Rue Holographics Ltd.Inventors: Charles E. Chatwin, Ralph Kay

Patent number: 5106126Abstract: A display has a transparent plastic substrate and a colored image formed on the substrate. The colored image is formed on the substrate by process printing a large number of small dots, colored red, yellow, and blue, in a predetermined pattern onto the substrate. The red, yellow, and blue ink dots are translucent to visible light. A reflective layer is deposited against the ink layer to reflect light which passes through the ink layer and thereby give the image formed by the ink layer a shiny, metallic appearance. A stratum of opaque white ink is deposited between the reflective layer and preselected portions of the image to block the passage of visible light from the preselected portions to the reflective layer.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 1990Date of Patent: April 21, 1992Inventors: Lawrence J.

Patent number: 4711690Abstract: The multilayer identification card comprises several synthetic layers compounded by the effects of heat and pressure. An inside interface of at least one of these layers exhibits depressions which are filled with the material of the adjacent layer during the laminating process. The adjacent layers are selected in such a way that they are of different transparency. Thus a light and shadow effect is produced in incident light which is reversed in transmitted light.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 1985Date of Patent: December 8, 1987Assignee: GAO Gesellschaft fur Automation und Organisation mbHInventor: Yahya Haghiri-Tehrani

Patent number: 4709397Abstract: An envelope with a pressure sensitive seal containing a hidden printed message which is revealed when the seal has been opened. The unsealed edges of the envelope each have an anchor coating covered by a cohesive layer. The message is formed by voids in the cohesive layer on one edge. Cohesive layers adhere to the anchor coatings on both edges, and seal the envelope as desired. The cohesive layers have a stronger affinity for each other than for the anchor coating. The message is revealed as the cohesive layer containing voids separates from the anchor coating causing the disruption of the anchor coating, when the sealed envelope is opened.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 1986Date of Patent: November 24, 1987Assignee: John H. Harland CompanyInventors: Donald K. Voshall, Danny K. Strickland

Patent number: 4608288Abstract: A label or seal consists of a transparent base foil having an adhesive layer on one side. An intermediate layer or film is applied to the side having the adhesive layer, adhesion between the base foil and the intermediate layer being decreased in some regions. A cover foil is provided which, with its adhesive layer, is laminated onto the other side of the base foil. The cover foil is irreversibly stretchable under tension and/or easily breakable. Further, a safety rim is formed by a portion of the cover foil which extends past the periphery of the base foil.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 1984Date of Patent: August 26, 1986Assignees: Joachim Dudzik, Winfried DudzikInventor: Heinz Spindler

Patent number: 4497872Abstract: An identification card protected against external chemical influences of the environment, having blocking layers in its outer areas to prevent plasticizers and other chemical substances which reduce stability and durability from penetrating inside the card. The blocking layers consisting of PETP (polyethylene terephtalate), PE (polyethylene), paper or other chemically resistant materials are located on the surface of the card, preferably in compound films with the construction PVC/blocking layer/PVC, between which the card core bearing the personalization data is laminated in. Thus partial embeddings such as signature stripes, magnetic stripes, photos, etc. can also be provided in the surface layer, the inner PVC layers of the card still being optimally protected by the blocking layers against the negative consequences of the influence of plasticizers, such as fatigue fracture and bending tears.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 1984Date of Patent: February 5, 1985Assignee: GAO Gesellschaft fur Automation und Organisation mbHInventors: Joachim Hoppe, Wolfgang Gauch

Patent number: 4462039Abstract: This invention relates to a plastic identification card with an improved signature panel. There is a problem with existig credit cards in that the existing signature can be obscured by printing over with a patch of clay composition similar to that used to provide the original signature panel. A new signature can then be applied. This problem is overcome by providing a signature panel which is sandwiched between the core stock and a protective transparent film. The signature panel comprises a layer of chemicals reactive under the pressure of a signature to release a colored dye conforming with the signature.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 1982Date of Patent: July 24, 1984Assignee: British American Bank Note Inc.Inventors: Edward A. Small, Geoff C. Wright

Patent number: 4407525Abstract: An identification card constructed of several film layers is provided with a monochrome or polychrome printed pattern. The printed pattern consists of partially overlapping color layers placed over each other and distributed over the surfaces of the film layers.The resulting printed pattern exhibits shadow effects in incident light which are reversed in transmitted light. A certain spatial effect and definite half-tone grading of the printed pattern can be achieved by the number and arrangement of the various printed layers.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 1981Date of Patent: October 4, 1983Assignee: GAO Gesellschaft fur Automation und Organisation mbHInventor: Joachim Hoppe
