Abstract

Abstract The tamperproof document consists of a photographic material as information carrier which is laminated on one or both sides with a transparent foil. The foil is attached to the surface of the information carrier by a layer of adhesive containing poly-1,2-alkyleneimine. The document is eminently saft against falsification.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 17
Claim 1
Independent Claim 63 words
A tamperproof document consisting of an information carrier in the form of a photographic material covered with information and laminated on both sides to at least one transparent foil, characterised in that the photographic material has a gelatin-containing outer front-layer and the foil is bonded to the surface of the said gelatin-containing layer by means of an adhesive layer containing a poly-1,2 -alkyleneimine.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 63 words
A tamperproof document consisting of an information carrier in the form of a photographic material covered with information and laminated on both sides to at least one transparent foil, characterised in that the photographic material has a gelatin-containing outer front-layer and the foil is bonded to the surface of the said gelatin-containing layer by means of an adhesive layer containing a poly-1,2 -alkyleneimine.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 25 words
A document according to claim 1, characterised in that the adhesive layer contains from 0.05 to 0.5 g of a poly-1,2-alkyleneimine per m 2 .
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 21 words
A document according to claims 1 or 2, characterised in that the poly-1,2-alkyleneimine is a polyalkyleneimine modified with ketones or aldehydes.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 16 words
A document according to claim 3, characterised in that the poly-1,2-alkyleneimine has been modified with formaldehyde.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 15 words
A document according to claims 1 or 2, characterised in that the poly-1,2-alkyleneimine is polyethyleneimine.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 26 words
A document according to claims 1 or 2, characterised in that, in addition to containing a poly-1,2-alkyleneimine, the adhesive layer contains a melamineformaldehyde or ureaformaldehyde resin.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 35 words
The document according to claims 1 or 2, characterised in that the photographic material contains a layer support of paper with at least one layer containing a photographic image and optionally other photographic auxiliary layers.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 21 words
A document according to claim 7, characterised in that the layer support is a paper coated on both sides with polyolefine.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 48 words
A document according to claims 1 or 2, characterised in that the transparent foil consists of one or more thermoplasts from the group comprising polyethylene, cellulose esters, polyvinyl acetate, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, polyvinylfluoride, polytetrahalogenethylene, polycarbonate based on bisphenol A, polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate and polyamide.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 22 words
A document according to claim 9, characterised in that a composite foil formed from two or more of the foils is used.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 22 words
A document according to claim 10, characterised in that the foil carrying the adhesive layer of the composite material consists of polyethylene.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 90 words
A process for the production of tamperproof documents by laminating an information carrier consisting of a photographic material with foils on both sides, characterised in that the photographic material has a gelatin-containing outer front layer to which identifying features have been applied by imagewise exposure and photographic processing and a gelatin-containing backing layer and the foil is coated with an aqueous solution containing a poly-1,2-alkyleneimine, the layer is dried, and the foil is laminated with simultaneous application of heat and pressure to a surface of the said gelatin-containing outer front-layer.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim 90 words
A process for the production of tamperproof documents by laminating an information carrier consisting of a photographic material with foils on both sides, characterised in that the photographic material has a gelatin-containing outer front layer to which identifying features have been applied by imagewise exposure and photographic processing and a gelatin-containing backing layer and the foil is coated with an aqueous solution containing a poly-1,2-alkyleneimine, the layer is dried, and the foil is laminated with simultaneous application of heat and pressure to a surface of the said gelatin-containing outer front-layer.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim 50 words
A process according to claim 12, characterised in that the aqueous solution contains from 0.05 to 10% by weight of poly-1,2-alkyleneimine, from 0.01 to 2% by weight of an aldehyde or ketone and optionally from 0.01 to 1% by weight of a carboxylic acid, based on the carboxyl group content.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim 67 words
A tamperproof document consisting of an information carrier in the form of a photographic material covered with information and laminated on both sides to at least one transparent foil, characterised in that the photographic material has a gelatin-containing outer front-layer and a gelatin-containing backing layer and the foil is bonded to the surface of the said gelatin-containing layers by means of an adhesive layer containing a poly-1,2-alkyleneimine.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim 67 words
A tamperproof document consisting of an information carrier in the form of a photographic material covered with information and laminated on both sides to at least one transparent foil, characterised in that the photographic material has a gelatin-containing outer front-layer and a gelatin-containing backing layer and the foil is bonded to the surface of the said gelatin-containing layers by means of an adhesive layer containing a poly-1,2-alkyleneimine.
