Abstract

The invention relates to a credit card (1), which includes a base element (2), fastened to which is a strip (3) which can generate an image as a reaction to applied pressure, as well as a transparent film (4). The film (4) is preferably attached to the base element (2) by heat treatment, in order to cover the strip (3) and at least part of one side of the base element (2). As a result, a signature can be produced on a strip which can only be removed with difficulty for fraudulent purposes.

Description

L'invention concerne une carte sur laquelle une signature doit être apposée de façon permanente, par exemple une carte de crédit, une carte d'identité ou une carte bancaire. The invention relates to a card on which a signature must be permanently affixed, for example a credit card, an identity card or a bank card.

L'un des principaux problèmes rencontrés par les banques et les organismes qui délivrent des cartes de crédit, des cartes bancaires, des cartes d'identité et analogues est la facilité avec laquelle il est possible de modifier la signature apposée sur de telles cartes. Cette signature est.généralement portée par une bande collée Bur la carte, et cette bande peut facilement être ôtée et remplacée par une autre bande portant une signature différente. Les cartes classiques portant une signature sont donc parfaitement susceptibles d'être falsifiées à des fins frauduleuses. One of the main problems encountered by banks and the organizations which issue credit cards, bank cards, identity cards and the like is the ease with which it is possible to modify the signature affixed on such cards. This signature is generally carried by a strip affixed to the card, and this strip can easily be removed and replaced by another strip bearing a different signature. Classic cards bearing a signature are therefore perfectly liable to be forged for fraudulent purposes.

L'invention a pour objectif de résoudre, pour le moins de rendre moins crucial, un tel problème. The invention aims to solve, at the very least to make this problem less crucial.

Conformément à l'invention, on réalise une carte sur laquelle une signature doit être apposée de façon permanente à partir d'un élément de base portant une bande de matériau, cette carte étant caractérisée en ce que la bande de matériau est telle qu'une image peut y être formée par pression, cette bande et au moins une partie de l'élément de base étant recouvertes par un film transparent collé. According to the invention, a card is produced on which a signature is to be affixed permanently from a basic element carrying a strip of material, this card being characterized in that the strip of material is such that a image can be formed there by pressure, this strip and at least a part of the basic element being covered by a transparent glued film.

De'préférence, le film est un film en matériau plastique collé par traitement thermique sur l'élément de base. Preferably, the film is a film of plastic material bonded by heat treatment to the base element.

Un deuxième élément de base pourvu d'une fenêtre peut être collé sur le premier élément précité, la position de la fenêtre correspondant à la position de la bande de matériau. A second base element provided with a window can be glued to the first aforementioned element, the position of the window corresponding to the position of the strip of material.

En variante, l'élément de base peut comporter une fenêtre et peut se plier le long d'une ligne médiane pour que la carte se referme sur elle-même après collage de la bande de matériau et du film.  Alternatively, the base element may have a window and may fold along a center line so that the card closes on itself after gluing the strip of material and the film.

Le matériau de la bande peut être tout matériau classique, un papier sensible à la pression par exemple, et n'a besoin que d'être en une seule épaisseur. La bande est, de préférence, très mince pour que la surface du film collé soit lisse au toucher. En variante, la bande peut être collée dans un évidement de la carte, ce qui en définit l'emplacement avec précision et donne à la carte une-finition sur le même niveau. Selon un exemple de réalisation avantageux, la bande est en un matériau à formation lente d'image. The material of the strip can be any conventional material, a paper sensitive to pressure for example, and need only be in a single thickness. The strip is preferably very thin so that the surface of the glued film is smooth to the touch. Alternatively, the strip can be glued into a recess on the card, which precisely defines its location and gives the card a finish on the same level. According to an advantageous embodiment, the strip is made of a material with slow image formation.

Le propriétaire de la carte appose sa signature sur le film, et cette signature est transposée sur la bande de matériau enfermée entre la carte et le film. The card owner affixes his signature on the film, and this signature is transposed on the strip of material enclosed between the card and the film.

I1 est alors très difficile d'ôter le film de la carte, de tenter d'ôter la bande de matériau, de placer une autre bande et de coller un autre film sans endommager sévèrement la carte, la manoeuvre étant alors évidente. It is then very difficult to remove the film from the card, to try to remove the strip of material, to place another strip and to stick another film without severely damaging the card, the maneuver then being obvious.

Figure 5, une coupe, non à l'échelle, de la carte représentée Figure 4.The rest of the description refers to the accompanying drawings which represent
Figure 1, a front view of an example of a card produced in accordance with the invention
Figure 2, a section of another card according to the invention
Figure 3, a view of another card according to the invention
Figure 4, a front view of another card according to the invention; and
Figure 5, a section, not to scale, of the map shown in Figure 4.

La carte 1 représentée Figure 1 se compose d'une pièce en plastique, sensiblement rectangulaire, 2, sur laquelle est collée une bande 3 en un matériau susceptible de laisser apparaître une image sous l'effet d'une pression. Un film transparent 4 en matériau plastique est également collé sur la pièce 2 de manière à recouvrir la bande -3. La fonction du film 4 est de sceller sur la carte la bande 3 qui est, par exemple, en papier, de telle sorte queXce papier ne puisse pas être ôté sans endommager le film. La pièce 2, ou carte, peut comporter un évidement dans lequel est Placée la bande de papier 3, de telle sorte que cette bande soit de niveau avec la surface de la carte. The card 1 shown in Figure 1 consists of a plastic part, substantially rectangular, 2, on which is glued a strip 3 of a material capable of revealing an image under the effect of pressure. A transparent film 4 of plastic material is also bonded to the part 2 so as to cover the strip -3. The function of the film 4 is to seal the strip 3 which is, for example, paper, on the card, so that this paper cannot be removed without damaging the film. The part 2, or card, may include a recess in which the paper strip 3 is placed, so that this strip is level with the surface of the card.

La carte représentée en coupe Figure 2 se compose d'une pièce 2 et d'une bande de papier 3, comme la carte représentée Figure 1, mais le film 4 en matériau plastique recouvre toute une face de la pièce 2. De plus, une deuxième pièce en matériau plastique 5 est collée sur le film en matériau plastique 4, la pièce 5 était pourvue d'une fenêtre 6, et la position de cette fenêtre correspond à celle de la bande de papier 3 lorsque les deux pièces sont collées l'une sur l'autre. The card shown in section Figure 2 consists of a piece 2 and a strip of paper 3, like the card shown in Figure 1, but the film 4 of plastic material covers an entire face of the piece 2. In addition, a second piece of plastic material 5 is glued to the plastic film 4, part 5 was provided with a window 6, and the position of this window corresponds to that of the paper strip 3 when the two pieces are glued one over the other.

La carte représentée Figure 3 est pliable le long d'une ligne médiane 7 et comporte une fenêtre 6. The card shown in Figure 3 is foldable along a center line 7 and has a window 6.

Lorsque la bande de papier 3 et le film 4 ont été collés sur la carte, comme précédemment décrit, les deux moitiés de carte sont repliées et collées l'une sur l'autre pour enfermer le film 4 et la bande 3, la fenêtre 6 se trouvant alors au niveau de cette bande 3.When the paper strip 3 and the film 4 have been glued to the card, as previously described, the two card halves are folded and glued to each other to enclose the film 4 and the strip 3, the window 6 then being at this band 3.

Dans la réalisation représentée Figures 4 et 5, une bande très mince de papier ou autre sensible à la pression, 3, est collée à la surface de la carte 1. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a very thin strip of paper or other pressure-sensitive material, 3, is glued to the surface of the card 1.

L'épaisseur de la bande 3 peut être aussi faible que 100 nm; par exemple. Le film transparent 4 est appliqué sur la totalité d'une face de la carte 1. Etant donné la minceur de la bande 3, la surface du film 4 est parfaitement lisse et plate au toucher.The thickness of the strip 3 can be as small as 100 nm; for example. The transparent film 4 is applied to the whole of one face of the card 1. Given the thinness of the strip 3, the surface of the film 4 is perfectly smooth and flat to the touch.

La bande 3 en papier ou autre sensible à la pression, enfermée entre carte et film, peut, selon un exemple de réalisation, être d'un type donnant une image à formation lente sous l'effet de la pression exercée par une pointe. The strip 3 of paper or other pressure-sensitive material, enclosed between card and film, can, according to an exemplary embodiment, be of a type giving an image with slow formation under the effect of the pressure exerted by a tip.

La carte étant signée de manière correcte, à l'aide d'un stylo à bille, la pression exercée laisse une impression permanente de la signature sur le film transparent 4. On obtient donc un enregistrement permanent de la signature sur le film, outre l'impression visuelle sur la bande 3, ce qui est une protection supplémentaire à l'encontre de toute falsification de la signature apposée à l'origine sur la carte. The card being signed correctly, using a ballpoint pen, the pressure exerted leaves a permanent impression of the signature on the transparent film 4. We therefore obtain a permanent recording of the signature on the film, in addition to the visual impression on the strip 3, which is an additional protection against any falsification of the signature originally affixed to the card.

Dans les exemples qui ont été décrits, la bande 3 en papier sensible à la pression peut être collée sur la carte 2 par traitement à chaud ou à l'aide de colles spéciales.  In the examples which have been described, the strip 3 of pressure-sensitive paper can be glued to the card 2 by heat treatment or using special glues.
