Description

PROCEDE DE MARQUAGE DE DOCUMENTS DE VALEUR METHOD OF MARKING VALUABLE DOCUMENTS
La présente invention concerne un procédé de marquage de documents de valeur et plus particulièrement un procédé de marquage de documents de valeur ou analogues contenus dans une enceinte de protection ou de transport de sécurité comprenant au moins un système de projection lors d'une agression, par exemple, d'un produit contenu dans un réservoir .The present invention relates to a method of marking documents of value and more particularly to a method of marking documents of value or the like contained in a protective enclosure or security transport comprising at least one projection system during an attack, by example, of a product contained in a tank.
On connaît bien dans le domaine du marquage de documents de valeur des procédés plus ou moins efficaces destinés à provoquer une aspersion de produits colorants ou agressifs à l'intérieur d'un compartiment tel que valise, mallette ou conteneur muni d'un dispositif antivol. Dans la plupart des cas, la trajectoire des produits de marquage étant aléatoire, le marquage des documents est irrégulier, souvent très succinct, et difficilement repérable : seul le bord des documents est taché et il suffit au voleur de les découper pour récupérer sans risque un grand nombre desdits documents .We know well in the field of marking valuable documents more or less effective methods intended to cause spraying of coloring or aggressive products inside a compartment such as a suitcase, briefcase or container fitted with an anti-theft device. In most cases, the trajectory of the marking products being random, the marking of the documents is irregular, often very succinct, and difficult to locate: only the edge of the documents is stained and it is enough for the thief to cut them to recover without risk a large number of said documents.
Par ailleurs, ces procédés ne sont pas adaptés pour le marquage de documents de valeur empilés ou en liasse par exemple, il devient alors impossible de faire pénétrer entre chacune des faces des documents de valeur un produit sous l'action du déclenchement d'une alarme.Furthermore, these methods are not suitable for marking valuable documents stacked or in a bundle for example, it then becomes impossible to penetrate between each of the faces of the valuable documents a product under the action of the triggering of an alarm. .
A cet égard, on a mis au point des procédés plus perfectionnés pour faire pénétrer le produit de marquage entre chacune des faces des documents de valeur ; c'est par exemple le cas du brevet français FR 2574845 de la demanderesse concernant un procédé de marquage et/ou de destruction notamment de documents de valeur et un dispositif de mise en œuvre. Ce procédé est caractérisé en ce qu'il provoque, par le contrôle de la propagation d'une onde de choc, l'ouverture de l'enveloppe d'un paquet de documents de valeur, une découpe partielle ou totale de l'ensemble de ces documents de valeur et l'ouverture d'un réservoir sur toute sa longueur pour libérer et projeter un liquide contenu dans ledit réservoir entre chacune des faces desdits documents afin de provoquer leur destruction et en tout cas leur marquage de manière à les rendre inutilisables ou légalement identifiables.In this regard, more sophisticated methods have been developed for penetrating the marking product between each of the faces of valuable documents; this is for example the case of the French patent FR 2574845 of the applicant concerning a method of marking and / or destruction in particular of valuable documents and an implementation device. This process is characterized in that, by controlling the propagation of a shock wave, the opening of the envelope of a packet of documents of value, a partial or total cutting of the set of these valuable documents and the opening of a reservoir over its entire length to release and project a liquid contained in said reservoir between each of the faces of said documents in order to cause their destruction and in any case their marking so as to make them unusable or legally identifiable.
Ce procédé permet de maculer la quasi-totalité des faces des documents de valeur sur une surface plus ou moins grande, mais il ne permet pas en revanche de contrôler l'intensité, la forme et le positionnement du marquage. En effet, le marquage suivant ce procédé n'est alors pas homogène d'un document à l'autre. Un document insuffisamment maculé ne révélera pas avec certitude l'origine du marquage rendant ainsi incertaine son identification légale. De plus, l'origine du marquage du document n'étant pas certaine, ce dernier sera toujours susceptible d'être légalement valable ou validé.This process makes it possible to smudge almost all of the faces of valuable documents on a more or less large surface, but it does not however make it possible to control the intensity, the shape and the positioning of the marking. Indeed, the marking according to this process is then not homogeneous from one document to another. An insufficiently stained document will not reveal with certainty the origin of the marking, making its legal identification uncertain. In addition, the origin of the marking of the document not being certain, the latter will always be likely to be legally valid or validated.
L'un des buts de l'invention est donc de palier ces inconvénients en proposant un procédé de marquage de documents de valeur ou analogues permettant de maîtriser la forme, l'intensité et le positionnement du marquage permettant de connaître avec certitude l'origine dudit marquage et de rendre ainsi lesdits documents de valeur systématiquement inutilisables ou légalement identifiables après une agression par exemple.One of the aims of the invention is therefore to alleviate these drawbacks by proposing a method of marking documents of value or the like making it possible to control the shape, intensity and positioning of the marking making it possible to know with certainty the origin of said marking and thus rendering said valuable documents systematically unusable or legally identifiable after an attack, for example.
A cet égard et conformément à l'invention, le procédé de marquage de documents de valeur ou analogues, contenus dans une enceinte de protection ou de transport de sécurité comprenant au moins un système de projection, lors d'une agression par exemple, d'un produit contenu dans un réservoir, est remarquable en ce que l'on dépose ou l'on introduit, lors de l'impression ou de la fabrication de documents de valeur, au moins une encre initialement translucide et sensible à au moins un révélateur . approprié, sur ou respectivement dans au moins une zone de marquage prédéterminée desdits documents de valeur puis, les documents de valeur étant placés dans l'enceinte de protection, on projette au moins un produit révélateur de l'encre initialement translucide sur les documents de valeur pour faire apparaître un marquage sur ou respectivement dans la ou lesdites zones de marquage prédéterminées et pour rendre ainsi inutilisables ou légalement identifiables lesdits documents de valeur.In this regard and in accordance with the invention, the method of marking documents of value or the like, contained in a protective enclosure or security transport comprising at least one projection system, during an attack for example, of a product contained in a reservoir is remarkable in that one deposits or introduces, during the printing or the manufacture of valuable documents, at least one ink initially translucent and sensitive to at least one developer. suitable, on or respectively in at least one predetermined marking area of said valuable documents then, the valuable documents being placed in the protective enclosure, at least one product revealing the initially translucent ink is projected onto the valuable documents to show a marking on or respectively in the said predetermined marking area (s) and thus to render unusable or legally identifiable said valuable documents.
On comprend bien que les documents de valeur ne seront marqués que sur les zones de marquage prédéterminées permettant ainsi de faire apparaître avec certitude qu'il s'agit, par exemple, d'un document de valeur volé. L'emplacement, la couleur et la forme du marquage tel qu'un mot "VOLE" accompagné d'un symbole rouge par exemple, ne laissent aucun doute sur la signification et la provenance du marquage contrairement à 1 ' art antérieur où le marquage pouvait être confondu avec un maculage accidentel comme de 1 ' encre renversée par inadvertance sur le document .It is understood that documents of value will only be marked on the predetermined marking areas, thus making it possible to show with certainty that it is, for example, a stolen document of value. The location, the color and the shape of the marking such as a word "VOLE" accompanied by a red symbol for example, leave no doubt about the meaning and the origin of the marking unlike the prior art where the marking could be mistaken for accidental smearing like ink inadvertently spilled on the document.
Ce procédé est, en outre, particulièrement adapté pour vérifier l'authenticité d'un document de valeur en procurant une réaction positive temporaire à un liquide révélateur spécifique projeté sur ce dernier.This process is also particularly suitable for verifying the authenticity of a valuable document by providing a temporary positive reaction to a specific revealing liquid sprayed onto it.
Selon une caractéristique essentielle du procédé selon l'invention, on positionne les zones de marquage prédéterminées le long d'au moins un des bords des documents de valeur et sur au moins une de leurs faces. Selon une autre caractéristique essentielle du procédé conforme à l'invention, le produit révélateur de l'encre initialement translucide est projeté sous une forme liquide ou gazeuse.According to an essential characteristic of the method according to the invention, the predetermined marking zones are positioned along at least one of the edges of the valuable documents and on at least one of their faces. According to another essential characteristic of the process according to the invention, the product which reveals the initially translucent ink is sprayed in a liquid or gaseous form.
D'autres avantages et caractéristiques ressortiront mieux de la description qui va suivre d'une forme d'exécution, donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif, du procédé selon l'invention en référence au dessin annexé sur lequel :Other advantages and characteristics will emerge more clearly from the description which follows of an embodiment, given by way of nonlimiting example, of the method according to the invention with reference to the appended drawing in which:
- la figure 1 est un schéma d'un document de valeur préparé conformément à l'invention en vue de face, comprenant des zones de marquage prédéterminées,FIG. 1 is a diagram of a valuable document prepared in accordance with the invention in front view, comprising predetermined marking areas,
- la figure 2 est un schéma en coupe verticale d'une enceinte de protection conforme à 1 ' invention comprenant une liasse de documents de valeur et un système de projection d'un produit.- Figure 2 is a vertical sectional diagram of a protective enclosure according to the invention comprising a bundle of valuable documents and a system for projecting a product.
En référence aux figures, le procédé de marquage de documents de valeur nécessite la préparation d'un document de valeur 1 tel qu'un billet de banque, par exemple, muni, comme illustré sur la figure 1, de deux zones de marquage prédéterminées 2,3 de forme globalement rectangulaire s 'étendant le long des bords horizontaux respectivement supérieur et inférieur dudit document de valeur 1 et de deux autres zones de marquage prédéterminées 4,5 de forme globalement rectangulaire s ' étendant le long de ses bords verticaux respectivement gauche et droite.With reference to the figures, the method of marking documents of value requires the preparation of a document of value 1 such as a bank note, for example, provided, as illustrated in FIG. 1, of two predetermined marking zones 2,3 of generally rectangular shape extending along the respectively upper and lower horizontal edges of said document of value 1 and of two other predetermined marking zones 4,5 of shape generally rectangular extending along its vertical edges respectively left and right.
Naturellement, des zones de marquage prédéterminées similaires seront avantageusement positionnées sur la face opposée du document de valeur 1. Par ailleurs, selon une variante d'exécution du document de valeur 1 conforme à l'invention, les zones de marquages 2,3,4 et 5 présentent une forme quelconque.Naturally, similar predetermined marking areas will advantageously be positioned on the opposite side of the value document 1. Furthermore, according to an alternative embodiment of the value document 1 according to the invention, the marking areas 2,3,4 and 5 have any shape.
Dans une forme d'exécution particulière d'un document de valeur 1 conforme à l'invention, chaque zone de marquage 2,3,4 et 5 comporte une mention écrite et/ou une forme géométrique et/ou un symbole formés par une encre translucide, c'est-à-dire une encre dont le coefficient de transmission est voisin de un ; on choisit en outre une encre sensible à un produit révélateur de telle sorte qu'après une exposition audit produit révélateur, elle devienne quasi instantanément mate opaque ou se colore et fasse ainsi apparaître nettement la mention écrite, la forme géométrique et/ou le symbole procurant aux documents de valeur une identification légale. On peut prévoir, en sélectionnant une encre translucide et un produit révélateur d'une manière appropriée, que l'apparition du marquage dans les zones prédéterminées 2,3,4 et 5 soit différée dans le temps après la projection dudit produit révélateur sur les documents de valeur 1.In a particular embodiment of a document of value 1 in accordance with the invention, each marking area 2, 3, 4 and 5 includes a written statement and / or a geometric shape and / or a symbol formed by an ink translucent, that is to say an ink whose transmission coefficient is close to one; an ink sensitive to a revealing product is also chosen in such a way that after exposure to said revealing product, it becomes almost instantly opaque or colored and thus clearly shows the written mention, the geometric shape and / or the symbol providing to documents of value a legal identification. Provision may be made, by selecting a translucent ink and a revealing product in an appropriate manner, for the appearance of the marking in the predetermined zones 2, 3, 4 and 5 to be delayed in time after the projection of said revealing product on the documents. of value 1.
Selon une particularité du document de valeur 1 conforme à l'invention, on peut également prévoir, en sélectionnant une encre translucide et un produit révélateur d'une manière appropriée, que l'apparition du marquage dans les zones prédéterminées 2,3,4 et 5 ne soit que temporaire et puisse être réitérer pour permettre notamment de vérifier l'authenticité du document de valeur 1. Il est évident que chaque zone de marquage prédéterminée 2,3,4 et 5 est susceptible de comprendre plusieurs mentions écrites et/ou formes géométriques et/ou symboles, chaque couleur associé à une ou plusieurs formes du marquage permettant alors de connaître avec précision l'origine du marquage et facilitant ainsi l'identification légale du document de valeur 1.According to a particular feature of the value document 1 in accordance with the invention, it is also possible, by selecting a translucent ink and a revealing product in an appropriate manner, for the appearance of the marking in the predetermined zones 2,3,4 and 5 is only temporary and can be repeated to allow in particular to verify the authenticity of the document of value 1. It is obvious that each predetermined marking area 2, 3, 4 and 5 is capable of comprising several written indications and / or geometric shapes and / or symbols, each color associated with one or more shapes of the marking then making it possible to know with precision the origin of the marking and thus facilitating the legal identification of the document of value 1.
Selon une autre variante d'exécution d'un document de valeur 1 conforme à l'invention, les mentions écrites, les formes géométriques et les symboles compris dans les zones de marquage 2,3,4 et 5 sont formés à partir d'encres translucides chacune sensibles à un produit révélateur différent de telle sorte que lesdites mentions écrites et autres formes ou symboles apparaissent avec des couleurs différentes, ayant chacune une signification conventionnelle propre, par suite de la projection d'un ou plusieurs produits révélateurs adéquats.According to another alternative embodiment of a document of value 1 in accordance with the invention, the written indications, the geometric shapes and the symbols included in the marking areas 2, 3, 4 and 5 are formed from inks each translucent sensitive to a different revealing product so that said written indications and other forms or symbols appear with different colors, each having its own conventional meaning, as a result of the projection of one or more suitable revealing products.
Les documents de valeur 1 tels que décrits précédemment et formant une liasse ou un empilage sont par la suite placés dans une enceinte de protection 6, comme représentée sur la figure 2 ; cette enceinte est par exemple munie d'un système de projection 7 d'un produit révélateur contenu dans un réservoir 8 qui se déclenche lorsque des moyens de détection 9 sont forcés, par exemple lors d'une agression. Il convient de noter que tous les moyens de détection 9 de vol ou d'effraction ainsi que tous les systèmes de projection 7 peuvent être utilisés et que ces procédés ou dispositifs sont considérés ici comme des moyens connus . Naturellement, l'enceinte de protection 6 est susceptible de comprendre soit plusieurs systèmes de projection 7 reliés à plusieurs réservoirs 8, soit un unique système de projection 7 relié à plusieurs réservoirs 8 contenant chacun un produit révélateur différent pour faire apparaître l'encre correspondante initialement translucide.The documents of value 1 as described above and forming a bundle or a stack are subsequently placed in a protective enclosure 6, as shown in FIG. 2; this enclosure is for example provided with a projection system 7 of a revealing product contained in a reservoir 8 which is triggered when detection means 9 are forced, for example during an attack. It should be noted that all the theft or break-in detection means 9 as well as all the projection systems 7 can be used and that these methods or devices are considered here as known means. Naturally, the protective enclosure 6 is capable of comprising either several projection systems 7 connected to several reservoirs 8, or a single projection system 7 connected to several reservoirs 8 each containing a different revealing product to reveal the corresponding ink initially translucent.
Les documents de valeur 1 étant placés dans l'enceinte de protection 6 vis à vis du système de projection 7, les moyens de détection 9, suite à une effraction par exemple, déclenchent l'ouverture du réservoir 8 contenant le produit révélateur qui est alors projeté par ledit système de projection 7 sur les documents de valeur 1, selon un procédé bien connu par l'homme du métier. La projection du produit révélateur sur les documents de valeur 1 fait alors apparaître dans les zones de marquages prédéterminées 2,3,4 et 5 la mention écrite et/ou la forme géométrique et/ou le symbole suivant une couleur déterminée d'une part par la composition de l'encre et d'autre part par la nature du produit révélateur auquel elle est sensible. La couleur ainsi révélée est avantageusement indélébile afin d'éviter toute tentative de fraude ultérieure ou temporaire suivant l'application envisagée.The documents of value 1 being placed in the protective enclosure 6 with respect to the projection 7, the detection means 9, following a break-in for example, trigger the opening of the reservoir 8 containing the revealing product which is then projected by said projection system 7 on the documents of value 1, according to a process well known by the skilled person. The projection of the revealing product on the documents of value 1 then shows in the predetermined marking areas 2,3,4 and 5 the written mention and / or the geometric shape and / or the symbol according to a color determined on the one hand by the composition of the ink and on the other hand by the nature of the revealing product to which it is sensitive. The color thus revealed is advantageously indelible in order to avoid any subsequent or temporary fraud attempt depending on the intended application.
Par ailleurs, le produit révélateur peut être de toute nature et notamment un révélateur chimique liquide ou gazeux, thermique, sonore, lumineux, c'est-à-dire photonique, électromagnétique ou bien encore nucléaire ou procurant des effets équivalents.Furthermore, the developer can be of any kind and in particular a liquid or gaseous, thermal, sound, light, that is to say photonic, electromagnetic, or even nuclear developer or providing equivalent effects.
Enfin, il va de soi que le procédé selon l'invention permet notamment de vérifier l'authenticité d'un document tel qu'un billet de banque et les exemples que l'on vient de donner ne sont que des illustrations particulières en aucun cas limitatives quant aux domaines d'application de 1 ' invention. Finally, it goes without saying that the method according to the invention makes it possible in particular to verify the authenticity of a document such as a bank note and the examples which have just been given are only particular illustrations in any case. limiting as to the fields of application of the invention.
