Definitions

  • the present invention concerns an anti-tampering process and related device applicable, preferably, to instruments of credit of the sort like cheques and banker' s draft or any valuable document and when originality of printed data must be checked.
  • the invention is applicable for preventing forgeries of carriers of variable data, like pharmaceutical or medicaments containers .
  • the anti-tampering device hereinafter called checker, is suitable to test the instruments of credit so processed.
  • the invention has the scope to make sure that the instruments of credit cashed at Banks, either drawee or not, will be definitely and surely cancelled.
  • the same invention is applicable, also, for revealing hidden variable data, that is data which vary for different items, like i.e. serial numbers, date of printing and so on. Further aim of the invention is to impede that said instruments of credit, for example cheques, might be forged and recycled after they have been cashed.
  • the invention is applicable for impeding that any sort of document on which variable data are printed might be forged and recycled after they have been ratified.
  • the present invention discloses a process of treatment of the credit instruments and a related cancellation device (checker) which, further than eliminating the operation of "cheque truncation" , makes the credit instruments visually unusable for a second fraudulent payment.
  • a related cancellation device checker
  • the above mentioned verifications of the validity of the credit instruments and its cancellation at the time of cashing, are by means of the present invention made totally reliable and simple, being the credit instrument itself a carrier of validity proo s .
  • the invention will be better explained by means of the following figures :
  • Fig. 1 shows a credit instrument, in example a cheque, after the operation of "cheque truncation", that is the removal of a corner for indicating that the cheque has been paid to the holder (state of the art)
  • Fig. 2 shows a schematic embodiment of the cancellation device of the present invention (checker)
  • Fig. 3 illustrates how the cheque, appears when processed with specific invisible inks , before going in the checker .
  • Fig 4 shows how the cheque appears at the exit of the checker .
  • the removal of the corner 1 of the cheque 2 of Fig. 1, in some cases, as said, is not a sufficient anti-forgery measure, because there exists many reports of fraudulent reconstruction of said corner .
  • the credit instrument 2 of Fig. 3 is for the scope of the present invention treated with invisible thermosensitive inks in some zones of the same for example the zones 3 and 4.
  • variable data 4 is, also, printed with invisible ink in a zone 4 of the cheque of Fig.3 : it will then appear after the passage through the checker in the zone referenced with 4 in Fig. 4.
  • thermosensitive inks used by the invention are those of the type known in commerce as Termovario Varnish, which show the following features : the printed characters are invisible (transparent) below a given transition temperature, while they appear in colours above said transition temperature ;
  • the transition temperatures ranges between 60° and 70° Celsius ;
  • the velocity of colour development depends from the thickness of the applied film of ink and from the nature of the support, but is strictly linked to temperature at 90°C the change from invisible to visible takes about 2-3 seconds, while at 120° C the transition happens within a fraction of a second.
  • thermosensitive inks are suitable for different printing techniques : i.e. offset, lithography, letterpress, screen-printing or rotogravure .
  • variable data invisible printing is, also, reported on a zone 4 of said credit instrument : variable data could, i.e., be the serial number and the account number .
  • the invisible ink treated credit instrument 2 as it appears in Fig. 2 is inserted into the slit 5 and dragged by rolls 6-6' , said rolls 6-6' are heated at a temperature above 90 °C and below 120°C.
  • Temperature control means 9 preside for maintaining constant the pre-set temperature of the rolls 6-6' .
  • the instrument of credit 2 is by draggers 7-7' and 8-8' brought to the slit 10, wherefrom it exits.
  • a different embodiment of the checker may foresee infrared lamps instead of the heated rolls 6-6' : it is then sufficient that the credit instrument is invested for a fraction of a second by infrared rays for revealing the hidden symbols or, alternatively, it could pass for some seconds through an-oven whose inside temperature is in the range 90°C-120°C.
  • the infrared lamp would result to be very practical when items to check are of different sizes .
  • the invisible ink applied on the credit instrument is, at the time of its editing, covered by a thin layers of UV paint or acrylic paint, whose scope is either to protect said invisible ink, either to impede successive forgeries .
  • variable data must be reported on documents, like date, place, reference numbers, serial number of which it is necessary to ascertain the authenticity.
  • a different field of application of the present invention is the antitampering of the variable data printed on the containers of medicaments , which are susceptible of tampering for what concerns expiring date, lot number and others.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de traitement d'instruments de crédit ou de n'importe quel document de valeur avec des encres thermosensibles invisibles. Les documents ainsi traités, aux fins du test antifraude, sont ensuite contrôlées par un dispositif de vérification, lequel induit une transition des encres d'un état invisible à un état coloré, ladite transition étant irréversible. Le dispositif de contrôle (contrôleur) comprend un dispositif commandé en température doté de rouleaux chauffants (6-6') ou d'une lampe à infrarouge. Le procédé antifraude est également applicable au domaine des données variables de récipients pharmaceutiques.
