Definitions
- the object of the invention is a passport comprising an information page with the identification information and a photograph of the passport owner.
- the purpose of the invention is to provide a new type of passport which makes it impossible to forge passports.
- the passport according to the invention as defined in the claim is characterised in that the information page consists of thermosetting plastic material, such as polycarbonate, which is personalised by inscribing it by means of a laser beam. Tests have been carried out which prove that the passport according to the invention and the identification information and the photograph provided by using the said method can be manufactured only by using certain devices and correctly selected materials so that the end result looks exactly as desired. Practically, the passport is therefore impossible to forge. To manufacture the passport, special equipment and correctly selected blank materials are needed which only the passport manufacturers have the possibility and the rights to acquire.
- the information page 1 of the passport comprises identification information 2 and photograph 3 of the owner of the passport.
- Information page 1 consists of polycarbonate which is personalised 2, 3, 4 by means of laser beam inscribing.
- Information page 1 has three layers 5, 6, 7.
- Surface layers 5, 7 are transparent and layer 6 between the surface layers is white. All layers 5, 6, 7 are laminated to each other by using heat and pressure.
- One of the transparent layers comprises about 4 promill of carbon which provides darkened patterns 4 on the readable side of information page 1 by means of laser beam inscribing.
- the information page is also provided with changeable laser image 8 (CLI).
- CLI changeable laser image 8
- the information page is thicker in the personalisation area 9 than in area 10 which extends to a fabric.
- the thickness of the personalisation area is about 0.3-0.4 mm and the thickness of the area extending to the fabric is about 0.1-0.2 mm.
- Information page 1 is attached to cover page 11 of the passport and to the other pages of the passport by sewing. Other pages 12 of the passport are then bound to the passport at dashed line 13.
- Personalisation 2, 3 of information page 1 of the passport is made fully by means of laser beam inscribing.
- Separating layer 14 is employed in the fabric area of information page 1, preventing layers 5, 7 from laminating to each other. Consequently, layers 5, 7 of information page 1 can slide with respect to each other in fabric area 10, increasing the strength of the passport.

Abstract
Description
- The object of the invention is a passport comprising an information page with the identification information and a photograph of the passport owner.
- It has been discovered that passports are forged in spite of the fact that the identification information and the photograph of the owner are tightly glued under a transparent plastic film and inside the firm cover of the passport. Other solutions known per se have also been used to minimise and prevent the forging of passports.
- The purpose of the invention is to provide a new type of passport which makes it impossible to forge passports. The passport according to the invention as defined in the claim is characterised in that the information page consists of thermosetting plastic material, such as polycarbonate, which is personalised by inscribing it by means of a laser beam. Tests have been carried out which prove that the passport according to the invention and the identification information and the photograph provided by using the said method can be manufactured only by using certain devices and correctly selected materials so that the end result looks exactly as desired. Practically, the passport is therefore impossible to forge. To manufacture the passport, special equipment and correctly selected blank materials are needed which only the passport manufacturers have the possibility and the rights to acquire.
- In the following, the invention is described with the aid of an example with reference to the appended drawing in which
- Fig. 1 shows the passport in an opened state,
- Fig. 2 shows the binding spot of the passport as viewed from the direction of arrow II before the binding, and
- Fig. 3 is an enlarged view of a section of the information page.
-
- The
information page 1 of the passport comprisesidentification information 2 andphotograph 3 of the owner of the passport.Information page 1 consists of polycarbonate which is personalised 2, 3, 4 by means of laser beam inscribing.Information page 1 has threelayers Surface layers layer 6 between the surface layers is white. Alllayers darkened patterns 4 on the readable side ofinformation page 1 by means of laser beam inscribing. - The information page is also provided with changeable laser image 8 (CLI). The information page is thicker in the
personalisation area 9 than inarea 10 which extends to a fabric. The thickness of the personalisation area is about 0.3-0.4 mm and the thickness of the area extending to the fabric is about 0.1-0.2 mm. There is only transparent plastic provided infabric area 10 ofinformation page 1.Information page 1 is attached to coverpage 11 of the passport and to the other pages of the passport by sewing.Other pages 12 of the passport are then bound to the passport at dashedline 13.Personalisation information page 1 of the passport is made fully by means of laser beam inscribing. - Separating
layer 14 is employed in the fabric area ofinformation page 1, preventinglayers layers information page 1 can slide with respect to each other infabric area 10, increasing the strength of the passport. The separating layer can be, for example, PVA = polyvinyl alcohol or polyvinyl butyrate.
Claims (1)
