Abstract
Abstract PCT No. PCT/SE93/00949 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 9, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 9, 1995 PCT Filed Nov. 9, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/11577 PCT Pub. Date May 26, 1994The invention relates to a method of producing visible, preferably transparent or translucent, continuous streaks and/or delimited fields in paper in conjunction with forming a paper web in a paper machine. The method is characterized by essentially preventing dewatering of paper stock/paper fibres on one or more surfaces of a wire in the forming unit of a paper machine in conjunction with forming a paper web in the machine, and by applying a special stock that contains fibres which differ from the other fibre material deposited on the wire, optionally together with an arbitrary filler and/or binder. The invention also relates to a valuable document, such as a banknote, produced from the aforedescribed paper.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
190 words
A method of producing a paper web having a visible transparent or translucent region comprising providing a paper stock consisting essentially of opaque fibers and a special stock consisting essentially of transparent or translucent fibers produced from one or more of regenerated cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol or acrylic fibers delivering the paper stock and the special stock on one or more surfaces of a wire in a forming unit of a paper machine together with one or more of a selected filler or binder, said paper stock and said special stock being deposited onto different portions of the wire such that the special stock defines at least one region having a predetermined shape which forms a uniform, predetermined pattern in the paper web, and simultaneously dewatering said paper stock and said special stock deposited on the wire to form a paper web with a substantially constant thickness, the paper stock forming an opaque paper web portion and the special stock forming the defined region as a transparent or translucent web portion extending generally uniformly through the thickness of the paper web whereby duplication of the paper web is rendered more difficult.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
190 words
A method of producing a paper web having a visible transparent or translucent region comprising providing a paper stock consisting essentially of opaque fibers and a special stock consisting essentially of transparent or translucent fibers produced from one or more of regenerated cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol or acrylic fibers delivering the paper stock and the special stock on one or more surfaces of a wire in a forming unit of a paper machine together with one or more of a selected filler or binder, said paper stock and said special stock being deposited onto different portions of the wire such that the special stock defines at least one region having a predetermined shape which forms a uniform, predetermined pattern in the paper web, and simultaneously dewatering said paper stock and said special stock deposited on the wire to form a paper web with a substantially constant thickness, the paper stock forming an opaque paper web portion and the special stock forming the defined region as a transparent or translucent web portion extending generally uniformly through the thickness of the paper web whereby duplication of the paper web is rendered more difficult.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
A method according to claim 1 further comprising providing a paper machine with a head box divided into sections with the aid of partition walls for simultaneous delivery of the paper stock and the special stock onto the wire.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
43 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein said delivering of said special stock is performed with a nozzle, and wherein the special stock is deposited on the wire in the immediate vicinity of where said paper stock and said special stock are dewatered.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
34 words
A method according to claim 1 further comprising couching the paper web produced by said method together with one or more paper webs each produced essentially from stock having a high light transmission value.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
16 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein the filler and/or binder have high light transmission values.
