Description

La présente invention est relative à la protection de matériels contre le vol et se rapporte plus particulièrement au "tatouage" de matériels, notamment de matériels d'informatique et de bureautique.The present invention relates to the protection of equipment against theft and relates more particularly to the "tattooing" of equipment, in particular computer and office automation equipment.

L'identification d'un matériel informatique ou autre est traditionnellement réalisée à l'aide d'un numéro de série porté par une étiquette autocollante fixée sur le boîtier de l'appareil et qui peut être aisément enlevée.The identification of computer or other hardware is traditionally carried out using a serial number carried by a self-adhesive label fixed on the housing of the device and which can be easily removed.

On connaît d'après US-A-2 225 520, un timbre, une étiquette ou analogue pouvant être appliqué comme une décalcomanie. On connait aussi une etiquette anti-fraude, voir FR-A-2 369 639.It is known from US-A-2 225 520, a stamp, a label or the like which can be applied as a decal. We also know an anti-fraud label, see FR-A-2 369 639.

Le timbre ou étiquette selon US-A-2 225 520 constitue en fait un justificatif de paiement d'une taxe dont la fonction première est de demeurer bien visible sur l'objet qui le porte afin d'indiquer que la taxe due pour cet objet a été effectivement acquittée.The stamp or label according to US-A-2 225 520 in fact constitutes proof of payment of a tax whose primary function is to remain clearly visible on the object carrying it in order to indicate that the tax due for this object was actually acquitted.

L'agencement décrit dans ce document permet de réaliser un timbre infalsifiable car il comporte plusieurs couches superposées dont une couche sous-jacente porte une identification authentifiant le timbre et qui n'apparaît qu'en enlevant les couches supérieures de celui-ci par grattage ou abrasion.The arrangement described in this document makes it possible to make a tamper-resistant stamp because it comprises several superimposed layers, one of which is an underlying layer which identifies the stamp authenticating and which only appears by removing the upper layers of it by scraping or abrasion.

Ce timbre peut être aisément enlevé de son support sans laisser de trace et ne constitue donc pas un élément de sécurité pour l'objet qui le porte.This stamp can be easily removed from its support without leaving a trace and therefore does not constitute a security element for the object which carries it.

Les matériels ne sont donc pas réellement protégés contre le vol de sorte que chaque année, des milliers de micro-ordinateur disparaissent au sein des entreprises.The equipment is therefore not really protected against theft so that every year, thousands of microcomputers disappear within companies.

L'invention vise à remédier à cette absence de protection en créant des moyens qui permettent d'une part de donner à un matériel un numéro d'identification et d'autre part, de rendre ce numéro d'identification pratiquement inaltérable, de sorte que le matériel qui le porte est identifiable à tout moment.The invention aims to remedy this lack of protection by creating means which make it possible on the one hand to give equipment an identification number and on the other hand, to make this identification number practically unalterable, so that the material carrying it is identifiable at all times.

Elle a donc pour objet une plaque d'identification d'un matériel portant des informations d'identification sur une première face, l'autre face de ladite plaque étant adhésive et portant une inscription transférable par collage sur une paroi du matériel à identifier lors de la mise en place de ladite plaque et apparaissant sur cette paroi en cas d'arrachage de la plaque, caractérisée en ce qu'elle porte dans une première zone de la première face, un numéro d'identification et dans une seconde zone, des informations relatives à l'organisme d'identification auquel il convient de s'adresser pour obtenir des renseignements relatifs au titulaire du numéro d'identification, en ce que l'inscription transférable est un avertissement de vol du matériel et en ce que la colle transférant l'inscription est telle qu'elle ne peut plus être enlevée de la paroi et l'inscription ne peut plus être effacée sans détériorer la paroi qui la porte.It therefore relates to an identification plate of a material carrying identification information on a first face, the other face of said plate being adhesive and carrying an inscription transferable by sticking to a wall of the material to be identified during placing said plate and appearing on this wall in the event of the plate being torn off, characterized in that it carries, in a first zone of the first face, an identification number and in a second zone, information relating to the identification body which should be contacted for information relating to the holder of the identification number, in that the transferable inscription is a warning of theft of the material and in that the adhesive transferring the he inscription is such that it can no longer be removed from the wall and the inscription can no longer be erased without damaging the wall which carries it.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en se référant aux dessins annexés, sur lesquels :

  • la Fig.1 est une vue en plan du recto de la plaque d'identification suivant l'invention;
  • la Fig.2 est une vue en plan du verso de la plaque d'identification de la Fig.1; et
  • la Fig.3 est une vue partielle en élévation d'un panneau d'un appareil dont la plaque d'identification a été arrachée.
The invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows, given solely by way of example and made with reference to the appended drawings, in which:
  • Fig.1 is a plan view of the front of the identification plate according to the invention;
  • Fig.2 is a plan view of the back of the identification plate of Fig.1; and
  • Fig.3 is a partial elevational view of a panel of an apparatus whose identification plate has been torn off.

Sur la Fig.1, on a représenté une plaque 1 réalisée par exemple en alliage léger dont le recto est subdivisé en deux zones principales 2 et 3 délimitées par un cadre extérieur 4 et par une ligne de séparation horizontale 5.In Fig.1, there is shown a plate 1 made for example of light alloy, the front of which is subdivided into two main zones 2 and 3 delimited by an external frame 4 and by a horizontal dividing line 5.

La zone 2 porte une inscription relative à la désignation de l'organisme et qui fabrique la plaque en question.Zone 2 bears an inscription relating to the designation of the organization and which manufactures the plate in question.

Dans le présent exemple, cet organisme est intitulé " identification nationale des tatouages bureautiques.In this example, this organization is titled "National Identification of Office Tattoos.

A côté de cette inscription, peut figurer un sigle de l'organisme.Beside this inscription, can appear an acronym of the organization.

La zone 3 comporte une plage centrale 6 délimitée par un cadre rectangulaire 7 dans laquelle est inscrit le numéro d'identification de la plaque et par conséquent de l'appareil destiné à la recevoir.Zone 3 includes a central area 6 delimited by a rectangular frame 7 in which is registered the identification number of the plate and consequently of the device intended to receive it.

Au-dessus du numéro d'identification, on lit la mention " Attention, ce matériel est protégé contre le vol " .Above the identification number, we read the words "Warning, this material is protected against theft".

Au-dessous du cadre 7 contenant le numéro d'identification, on trouve des informations relatives au centre informatique auquel il est possible de s'adresser pour connaître par exemple le titulaire du numéro d'identification porté par la plaque ou encore pour signaler le vol du matériel identifié par ce numéro.Below box 7 containing the identification number, there is information relating to the computer center which it is possible to contact to know for example the holder of the identification number carried by the plate or to report the theft material identified by this number.

Les inscriptions se trouvant dans les zones 2 et 3, sont avantageusement réalisées par dépôt d'une matière en phase vapeur.The inscriptions located in zones 2 and 3 are advantageously made by depositing a material in the vapor phase.

Sur la Fig.2 on a représenté le verso de la plaque de la Fig.1.In Fig.2 is shown the back of the plate of Fig.1.

Cette face arrière de la plaque comporte deux zones latérales 8,9 adhésives sur lesquelles sont placés par exemple des adhésifs à double face. L'adhésif utilisé est par exemple du type 94.73 de marque 3M. Le temps de prise de cet adhésif est de 15s et la résistance optimale à l'arrachage est obtenue au bout de 24 heures.This rear face of the plate has two adhesive side zones 8.9 on which are placed, for example, double-sided adhesives. The adhesive used is for example of the 94.73 type 3M. The setting time of this adhesive is 15 s and the optimal resistance to peeling is obtained after 24 hours.

Cet adhésif résiste à des températures comprises entre - 50 et + 100°C, de telle sorte qu'une tentative d'arrachage manuel est quasiment impossible et risquerait de laisser des traces.This adhesive resists temperatures between - 50 and + 100 ° C, so that an attempt to manually peel it is almost impossible and would risk leaving traces.

Entre les deux zones 8 et 9 portant les adhésifs double face, est prévue une zone centrale 10 sur laquelle est fixée une bande à film de matière plastique thermo-stabilisé 11 sur lequel est imprimée à l'envers, à l'aide par exemple d'une imprimante laser, une inscription 12 destinée à avertir que le matériel a été volé, accompagnée du même numéro d'identification de celui imprimé au verso dans le cadre 7.Between the two zones 8 and 9 carrying the double-sided adhesives, a central zone 10 is provided on which is fixed a strip of film of thermo-stabilized plastic material 11 on which is printed upside down, using for example d '' a laser printer, an inscription 12 intended to warn that the material has been stolen, accompanied by the same identification number as that printed on the back in box 7.

La mise en place de la plaque qui vient d'être décrite en référence aux Fig.1 et 2 est réalisée de la manière suivante.The positioning of the plate which has just been described with reference to Fig. 1 and 2 is carried out as follows.

On enduit la zone centrale 10 du verso de la plaque 1 d'une colle telle que par exemple une colle Cyanoacrylate en gel, par exemple de type 454 gel Loctite, fabriquée et vendue par la société Framet et l'on retire les bandes de protection des deux surfaces 8,9 pourvues de leur adhésif double face.The central zone 10 of the back of the plate 1 is coated with an adhesive such as, for example, a Cyanoacrylate gel adhesive, for example of the 454 Loctite gel type, manufactured and sold by the company Framet, and the protective strips are removed. of the two surfaces 8, 9 provided with their double-sided adhesive.

On applique alors la plaque sur une paroi par exemple en matière plastique du boîtier du matériel électrique à protéger. Les deux zones 8 et 9 portant l'adhésif double face adhérent rapidement à la paroi du boîtier et la bande de film plastique 10 portant les inscriptions imprimées à l'envers est collée à ladite paroi par la colle cyanoacrylate en gel, de telle sorte que le film portant les caractères est transféré et pratiquement incorporé avec la colle dans la matière plastique du boîtier de l'équipement.The plate is then applied to a wall, for example of plastic, of the box of the electrical equipment to be protected. The two zones 8 and 9 carrying the double-sided adhesive quickly adhere to the wall of the case and the strip of plastic film 10 carrying the inscriptions printed upside down is glued to said wall with cyanoacrylate gel glue, so that the film with the characters is transferred and practically incorporated with the glue into the plastic of the equipment housing.

Le film 11 est collé à la paroi du boîtier au moment où la plaque 1 est fixée à celle-ci. Le temps de prise de la colle cyanoacrylate et de 10s et la résistance finale s'obtient au bout de 12 heures.The film 11 is bonded to the wall of the housing when the plate 1 is fixed to it. The setting time of the cyanoacrylate glue and 10s and the final resistance is obtained after 12 hours.

Bien entendu, l'existence de cette inscription d'avertissement est invisible puisqu'elle est cachée par la plaque de métal 1.Of course, the existence of this warning inscription is invisible since it is hidden by the metal plate 1.

Selon une variante non représentée, la plaque et la bande en matière plastique peuvent comporter un sigle et/ou un logo identifiant la société à laquelle appartient le matériel ainsi qu'un code barre pour pouvoir réaliser une gestion plus aisée du matériel d'une entreprise.According to a variant not shown, the plastic plate and strip may include an initials and / or a logo identifying the company to which the equipment belongs as well as a bar code in order to be able to manage the equipment of a company more easily. .

Sur la Fig.3, on a représenté en vue partielle, la paroi P d'un équipement identifié à l'aide de plaque selon l'invention et dont la plaque a été arrachée. On voit que l'arrachage de la plaque a laissé incorporé à la paroi de l'appareillage, le film plastique 11 portant l'inscription d'avertissement de vol du matériel, le numéro d'identification de ce matériel ainsi que le numéro d'appel de l'organisme de gestion informatique des équipements. Ces inscriptions sont si intimement incorporées à la paroi P du boîtier, qu'il est pratiquement impossible de les effacer sans détériorer la paroi qui les porte.In Fig.3, there is shown in partial view, the wall P of an item of equipment identified using a plate according to the invention and the plate of which has been torn off. It can be seen that the tearing off of the plate has left incorporated into the wall of the apparatus, the plastic film 11 bearing the inscription of the theft warning of the material, the identification number of this material as well as the number of call from the IT equipment management body. These inscriptions are so intimately incorporated into the wall P of the housing, that it is practically impossible to erase them without damaging the wall which carries them.

On voit donc que grâce à l'agencement qui vient d'être décrit, on dispose d'un moyen extrêmement efficace pour assurer l'identification d'un appareillage ou d'un matériel présentant une certaine valeur, cette identification à l'aide d'une plaque fixée au boîtier de l'équipement, de façon pratiquement inamovible, constituant un moyen particulièrement dissuasif contre le vol.It can therefore be seen that, thanks to the arrangement which has just been described, there is an extremely effective means of ensuring the identification of an apparatus or of a material having a certain value, this identification using '' a plate fixed to the equipment housing, in a practically non-removable manner, constituting a particularly deterrent against theft.

Bien que dans l'exemple décrit l'invention soit considéré comme étant appliquée à la protection de matériel informatique, il va de soi qu'elle peut également être utilisée pour tout matériel justifiant de telles mesures de sécurité.Although in the example described the invention is considered to be applied to the protection of computer equipment, it goes without saying that it can also be used for any equipment justifying such security measures.
