Definitions
- the present invention relates to a document in the form of a booklet containing identification markings, patterns and/or photograph(s) and to the production of such booklet that may serve as a passport.
- a major problem in the production of a ta perproof passport booklet is the way the photograph and printed matter representing identification and verification data are introduced to become a complete part of the booklet not separatable therefrom without destruction or alteration of the verification features, markings and/or identification data.
- a booklet that may serve as a passport
- which comprises a cover fixed inwards to a unit of assembled paper foils in booklet form fastened together in their fold by a binding means, characterized in that at least one paper sheet of said booklet or at least one cover side of said booklet is laminated with a transparent resin sheet bearing an image and/or printed matter which image and/or printed matter is facing said paper sheet and is right-reading when inspected through the side of said transparent sheet being remote from the material whereto it is adhered.
- a process according to the present invention for the production of a booklet suited for use as a passport comprises the steps of :
- the booklet according to the present invention contains fixed inwards a cover an assemblage of foils that are centrally folded and stitched together with thread in their central fold.
- said booklet the centrally folded paper foil neighbouring the innerside of the cover through the first page sheet is pasted to the innerside of the front cover part, whereas the last page sheet of said paper foil is pasted to the innerside of the back cover part, and the paper sheet adjacent to the paper sheet pasted inwards to said front cover part is laminated with a transparent resin sheet bearing said image and/or printed matter.
- the paper sheet laminated to the transparent resin sheet bearing said image and/or printed matter has been provided with verification features and/or markings, e.g. (a) printed guilloche pattern(s) (optionionally in different colours), watermark, perforations, dot screen printed markings, e.g. page numbering visible by optical enlargement, dispersed visible or invisible fibers, metallic thread, etc., that will be damaged in an attempt to separate the laminated elements.
- verification features and/or markings e.g. (a) printed guilloche pattern(s) (optionionally in different colours), watermark, perforations, dot screen printed markings, e.g. page numbering visible by optical enlargement, dispersed visible or invisible fibers, metallic thread, etc., that will be damaged in an attempt to separate the laminated elements.
- element 10 represents the cover of a passport booklet, said cover having a front part 10F and a rear part 10R.
- the passport booklet contains an assemblage of folded paper foils sewed together by tread (not shown in the drawing) in their common central fold.
- the folded paper foils represent eight paper sheets numbered 1 to 8.
- Paper sheet 1 is pasted to the innerside of the front part 10F of the cover 10 and paper sheet 8 is pasted to the innerside of the rear part 10R of the cover 10.
- Paper sheet 2 is laminated with its first page side in contact with an adhesive intermediary transparent sheet 11 to a transparent resin sheet 12 carrying an image and printed matter (not shown in the drawing) for identification and/or verification purposes, said image and printed matter being right- reading through the side of said transparent sheet 12 that is remote from said first page side of paper sheet 2.
- the paper sheet to be bond by lamination to said transparent resin sheet carrying the image and other information has been laminated or pasted already in advance at one side to said adhesive sheet.
- the lamination or pasting of another resin at the opposite side of said paper sheet will solve the problem by counteracting or balancing the curl-tension built up by the single side lamination.
- the transparent resin sheet carrying the image information, e.g. portrait of the owner of the passport, and the printed matter is made preferably of a thin film of clear plastic
- the plastic may be a natural, modified natural or synthetic film forming resin, e.g. transparent cellulose made from viscose (cellophane) , cellulose nitrate or other cellulose ester, (meth) crylic polymer or copolymer, vinyl polymer or copolymer, e.g. polystyrene, polyethylene, polypropylene or polybutylene, polyester, polycarbonate, polyamide or other film forming resin as described e.g. by D.H. Solomon in the book "The Chemistry of Organic Film Formers", John Wiley & Sons, Inc. New York, London, Sidney (1967) .
- said transparent resin sheet has rather poor tensile strength, whereby it becomes easily torn in attempts to separate the laminated parts.
- Plastics favoured for use as said transparent resin sheet are cellulose triacetate and cellulose nitrate having preferably a thickness in the range from 10 ⁇ m to 250 ⁇ m.
- a relatively thick temporary support is used coated with an adhesive layer, e.g. pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, wherethrough the temporary support is temporarily laminated with said transparent resin sheet having a stripping layer contacting said adhesive layer and containing at the side opposite said stripping layer the image information and/or printed matter.
- the stripping layer has poor cohesive strength and is ruptured in peel-apart processing or is not strongly adhering to the adhesive coating of the temporary support, e.g. contains or is made of wax, silicones and/or fluorinated polyme (s) having sufficient abhesive character to allow easy stripping apart from the adhesive layer remaining with said temporary support.
- said transparent resin sheet carrying an image and/or printed matter is fixed to a paper sheet of said booklet through a self-supporting intermediary resin sheet, e.g. a thermoplastic resin sheet.
- a self-supporting intermediary resin sheet e.g. a thermoplastic resin sheet.
- said thermoplastic intermediary sheet is fixed at one side by penetration of thermoplastic material in the pores of the selected paper sheet, and at its other side is fixed by physico-chemical affinity of the contacting surfaces to the image- bearing side of said transparent resin sheet carrying the image- information and/or printed matter.
- the intermediary self-supporting adhesive hydrophobic resin sheet consists preferably of a resin having a lower glass transition temperature (Tg) and- melting temperature (Tm) than the resin present in the image-carrier sheet.
- said intermediary sheet is a polyethylene sheet having e.g. a thickness in the range of 10 to 250 micron or is polyethylene terephthalate resin sheet coated at both sides with a resinous melt-adhesive layer, e.g. a polyalkylene layer, preferably polyethylene layer, having a glass transition temperature at least 40°C lower than the glass transition temperature of the resin of the transparent sheet carrying the image-information and printed matter.
- the intermediary resin sheet has a core of transparent resin that is coated at one or both sides with an adhesive layer of a pressure, and/or heat, and/or solvent activatable substance or composition.
- adhesive substances reference is made e.g. to US-P 4,033,770 and published European Patent application (EP-A) 0 392 474.
- Said United States patent relates to a process and material for the production and use of pressure sensitive, and/or heat sensitive and/or solvent sensitive decalcomanias formed according to the principles of the silver complex diffusion transfer process
- said published EP-A relates to improved surfaces for X-ray intensifying screens wherein a thin, clear, transparent, tough, flexible, dimensionally stable polyamide film is bonded with an adhesive layer to the phosphor- binder layer of said screen.
- the adhesive bond between the image- carrying side of the transparent sheet and the therewith laminated paper sheet is strengthened by curing of the adhesive substance.
- Curing is a chemical process based on chemical crosslinking of polymer chains and may proceed thermally and/or by radiation, e.g. ultraviolet radiation or electron beam.
- ROBOND LEC-58 and ROBOND PS-60 are examples of commercially available pressure sensitive adhesives.
- ROBOND is a tradename of Rohm £ Haas, Philadelphia, PA, USA

- the adhesive layer(s) is (are) covered with a protective strippable sheet material preventing direct contact with the environment during storage and before contact with other sheets in the lamination.
- a protective strippable sheet material being e.g. a siliconised vegetable parchment or glassine paper is described in Research Disclosure March 1977, item 15513 wherein said material serves as temporary suppor for an image-receiving material that comprises an adhesive layer for securing recorded information to a receptor material used e.g. in the graphic arts in paste-up work.
- the printed matter representing identification and/or verification information concerning the passport owner is applied directly onto said transparent resin sheet and/or onto an image- receiving layer carried by said sheet before or after forming a photographic information, e.g. portrait therein.
- the printed matter may be readable by the naked eye under visible light conditions or is initially invisible and may become legible e.g. by inspection with heat or ultra-violet light and/or is machine readable.
- the printed matter may be applied by any printing technique known in the art, e.g. planographic, gravure, letterpress and silk screen printing using visible and/or invisible inks.
- the production of the portrait of the passport owner on said transparent laminatable sheet may proceed by any photographic technique using direct exposure of a photosensitive recording material to an optical image of the person to be identified or by an imaging technique according to which the image is derived from a record containing the image content in non-visible form, e.g. in an electronic or magnetic storage unit or optical memory.
- the image information contained in said storage unit or memory may be transformed into electronic signals that control a non-impact image printing device, e.g. xerographic laser printer or modulated light emitting diode printer, ink jet or thermographic printer.
- a non-impact image printing device e.g. xerographic laser printer or modulated light emitting diode printer, ink jet or thermographic printer.
- the portrait is formed photographically by diffusion-transfer-reversal (DTR) processing using a transparent resin sheet containing an image-receiving layer adapted to form therein a black-and-white silver image or colour image built up by image-wise diffusion transfer of dyes from an image-wise photo-exposed and developed photographgic material.
- DTR diffusion-transfer-reversal
- the black-and-white diffusion transfer process known as silver halide complex diffusion transfer process and several embodiments of the colour diffusion transfer process are described in chapter 6 of the above mentioned book Neblette' s eighth Edition.
- silver halide diffusion transfer process further reference is made to the book : "Photographic Silver Halide Diffusion Processes" by Andre Rott and Edith Weyde - Focal Press - London - New York (1972.
- a survey of dye diffusion transfer materials is given in the periodical Research Disclosure, November 1976, item 15162 and in the periodical Angewandte Chemie, Vol 22, No. 3, March 1983, pages 191- 209 International Edition in English.
- a common image-receiving layer suited for carrying out the silver complex diffusion transfer process contains physical development nuclei in a hydrophilic binder.
- the physical development nuclei promote the reduction into metallic silver of the silver halide complexes transferred from the developed photographic material (ref.the already mentioned book of A. Rott and E. Weyde p. 54-57) .
- Preferred nuclei are e.g. colloidal silver and heavy metal sulphide nuclei such as palladium sulphide, nickel sulphide and silver-nickel sulphide nuclei.
- the printing with ink of the desired markings and/or alphanumeric characters proceeds on an image-receiving layer suited for forming therein a silver image by the silver halide complex diffusion transfer method.
- the printing matter i.e. ink, covers then said image-receiving layer in such a way that the physical development nuclei are shielded and inhibited to play their role in the formation of the silver image. Operating that way fine printed lines and/or spots will appear lateron in the photographically formed image (portrait and other photographically produced information) and form an additional verification feature.
- the nuclei containing layer is coated with a nuclei-free toplayer and is present on a nuclei-free underlying hydrophilic colloid undercoat layer or undercoat layer system as described in published European patent application (EP-A) 0 306 561.
- the undercoat optionally incorporates substances that improve the image quality, e.g. incorporates a substance improving the image-tone or the whiteness of the image background.
- the undercoat may contain a fluorescent substance, silver complexing agent(s) and/or development inhibitor releasing compounds known for improving image sharpness.
- the image-receiving layer is applied on an undercoat playing the role of a timing layer in association with an acidic layer serving for the neutralization of alkali of the image-receiving layer.
- a timing layer By the timing layer the time before neutralization occurs is established, at least in part, by the time it takes for the alkaline processing composition to penetrate through the timing layer.
- Materials suitable for neutralizing layers and timing layers are disclosed in Research Disclosure July 1974, item 12331 and July 1975, item 13525.
- gelatin in the image-receiving layer and/or in said toplayer and/or in an undercoat gelatin is used preferably as hydrophilic colloid.
- gelatin is present preferably for at least 60 % by weight and is optionally used in conjunction with an other hydrophilic colloid, e.g. polyvinyl alcohol, cellulose derivatives, preferably carboxymethyl cellulose, dextran, gallactomannans, alginic acid derivatives, e.g. alginic acid sodium salt and/or watersoluble polyacrylamides.
- an other hydrophilic colloid e.g. polyvinyl alcohol, cellulose derivatives, preferably carboxymethyl cellulose, dextran, gallactomannans, alginic acid derivatives, e.g. alginic acid sodium salt and/or watersoluble polyacrylamides.
- Said other hydrophilic colloid may be used also in the top layer for at most 10 % by weight and in the undercoat in an amount lower than the gelatin content.
- the image-receiving layer and/or a hydrophilic colloid layer in water-permeable relationship therewith may comprise a silver halide developing agent and/or silver halide solvent, e.g. sodium thiosulphate in an amount of approximately 0.1 g to approximately
- the image-receiving layer or a hydrophilic colloid layer in water-permeable relationship therewith may comprise colloidal silica.
- At least one of the layers of the image-receiving material substances can be contained which play a role in the determination of the colour tone of the diffusion transfer silver image.
- Substances providing a neutral colour tone are called black-toning agents, e.g. as described in GB A 561,875 and BE A 502,525.
- the image-receiving layer may contain as physical development accelerators, in operative contact with the developing nuclei, thioether compounds such as those described e.g. in DE A 1,124,354; US A 4,013,471; US A 4,072,526; and in EU A 0,026,520.
- an optical brightening agent When an optical brightening agent is present in the image-receiving material preference is given to an optical brightening agent that is inherently resistant to diffusion or is made resistant to diffusion by use in conjunction with another substance wherein it is dissolved or whereto it is adsorbed as described in published EP-A 0 306 561.
- Photographic silver halide emulsion layer materials for use in conjunction with said image-receiving material containing development nuclei or image-wise releasable dyes may be of any kind useful in the art of diffusion transfer processing but for continuous tone reproduction are preferably of the type yielding fairly soft contrast images as described e.g. in US-P 3,985,561 and 4,242,436.
- a paper sheet of the booklet is laminated to a hydrophilic colloid layer containing an image on said transparent resin sheet, said hydrophilic colloid layer before bonding by lamination with an adhesive hydrophobic intermediate sheet is coated with an aqueous solution improving the wet strength and the adherence affinity of said hydrophilic colloid layer or assemblage towards the hydrophobic resin material of the intermediary sheet.
- a substance improving the wet-strength of hydrophilic colloid containing layers such as developed silver halide emulsion layers and diffusion transfer reversal (DTR) image-receiving layers containing such colloid is a poly-l,2-alkyleneimine described in US-P 4,456,667.
- a preferred wet-strength and adherence improving substance is the condensation product of a polyalkylenepolyamine containing at least two primary amino groups and at least one secondary or tertiary amino group with a dicarboxylic acid which condensation product being a polyamidoamine has been grafted by reaction with an alkene-l,2-imine in the presence of an acid catalyst, and has been transformed into a cationic crosslinked polymer by allowing to react the obtained grafted polymer with a bifunctional crosslinking agent being an epihalohydrin or an Alpha-Omega-dihalohydrinether or the ether compound obtained by reaction of epichlorohydrin with a watersoluble polyalkyleneoxide.
- the coating of said wet-strength and adherence improving condensation product after image-formation in the image-receiving layer proceeds preferably at a dry solids coverage in the range of 0.2 g/m2 to 15 g/m2.
- the coating proceeds by common coating apparatus known in the art, e.g. by dipping, spraying, doctor blade coating, roller coating, meniscus coating and the like.
- the coating takes place preferably at room temperature (20 °C) with the treating liquid having a pH in the range of 4 to 10, whereupon the coated layer is dried to remove the water.
- dicarboxylic acids containing 4 to 10 carbon atoms are made to react with polyalkylenepolyamines that contain 3 to 10 basic nitrogen atoms in their molecule and at least two primary amino groups.
- Suitable dicarboxylic acids for producing said polyamideamines are saturated aliphatic C -C .-dicarboxylic acids including their anhydrides and esters capable of reaction with primary amines.
