A composite glass comprises two glass and/or plastic plates and an intermediate foil arranged between the glass and/or plastic plates. The composite glass, due to the intermediate foil, is configured differently in a side-dependent manner, by appearing to a viewer more transparent from an inner side than from an outer side. The composite glass, due to the intermediate foil, appears to the viewer different in a viewing angle-dependent manner from the outer side.

An apparatus for applying security elements, comprises at least one value document substrate transport device for transporting a value document substrate web, at least one security elements transport device for transporting a security elements carrier band having a plurality of security elements, wherein the security elements carrier band has a first and a second main surface which oppose each other, each security element has a first and a second main surface which oppose each other, each security element is arranged with its first main surface on the first main surface of the security elements carrier band, and each security element has adhesive properties at its second main surface, wherein the apparatus has an application region in order to apply the security elements with their second main surface onto the value document substrate web. A security elements carrier band and a value document involve the apparatus.

Application device

The present invention relates to a security element for security papers, value documents and the like, having a micro-optical moir&#xe9; magnification arrangement having

Security element

A method for producing a security element having microdepressions for security papers, with the microdepressions being colored with a certain color, involves the steps of (a) coating an upper side of a carrier with an embossable layer; (b1) forming microdepressions in the embossable layer to configure an embossed layer; (c) applying the certain color on the upper side, so that the color remains in the microdepressions; (b2) applying a structured protective layer on the coated upper side, wherein the structured protective layer does not cover the microdepressions that are to be colored with the certain color, after step (b1) and before step (c); and removing the structured protective layer and thereby a color toning after step (c).

Production of a security element provided with colored micro-depressions

The present invention relates to a method for producing a micropattern on a substrate (), in which

Method for producing a microstructure

The present invention relates to a multilayer security element having a first, transparent layer structure having first, translucent sub-regions and a second, opaque layer structure exhibiting a color-shift effect and having second, transparent sub-regions.

The invention relates to a security element for security papers, documents of value, ID cards or the like that is of self-supporting design and has two different security features. The security features are disposed on opposite sides of the security element, at least one the security features being optically variable.

Security element for security papers and valuable documents

The invention relates to a security paper for producing value documents, such as bank notes or the like, which includes a creasable, multilayer substrate having at least one paper layer and at least one film, and to a method for producing such a security paper.

Security paper

The present invention relates to a security element () for security papers, value documents and the like, having a substrate () and an opaque metallization) arranged on the substrate. According to the invention in the security element is provided, that the metallization () comprises a first opaque metal layer () and a second opaque metal layer () arranged above the first metal layer (), and that the two metal layers () have substantially the same tone of color in the visible spectral region.

Security element with metallization

The invention relates to a security element for security papers, bank notes, ID cards or the like, having at least one plastic layer on which at least two metal layers of different color are so disposed side by side and on the same side of the plastic layer that the different colors are visually checkable.

Security element and method for producing the same

The invention relates to a security element () with a carrier film () and a cover layer () applied to the carrier film (). The cover layer has gaps () in the form of characters or patterns forming visually and/or machine readable first information. Additionally, a printed image () forming visually and/or machine readable second information is disposed in the gaps () in register, the first and second information being different.

A card, in particular credit card, identity card, bank card or the like is proposed that includes a plurality of laminated layers between which a security element with a relief structure, in particular holographic diffraction structures, is embedded. The materials are selected so that the softening temperature of the security element layer having the relief structure has a higher softening temperature than the card layers between which the security element is laminated. This permits the multilayer laminated card to be produced by conventional laminating methods without appreciably impairing the relief structure by the pressures and temperatures thereby occurring. Special combinations of materials and in particular suitable materials for the layer having the relief structure are proposed.
