Abstract

A test method is proposed which renders possible the detection of forged money with simple means. The forged money detectors consist of a light source in the region from 100 to 500 nm (2, 12, 13), which illuminate the bank notes directly or via a diffusing screen (1, 14, 15, 24) so that the fluorescent colours present in the bank notes reflect. Furthermore, the principle of the clip in its function as contact closure (7, 16, 17), window (8, 9) component and necessary precondition to fulfil the function. The power supply is provided via a storage battery (3) or a power pack (4) which by means of an electric circuit (11) is the precondition for the light source. <IMAGE>

Description

  • 1. Prüfverfahren zum Erkennen von Falschgeld mittels einer speziellen Haltevorrichtung und einer Lichtquelle im Bereich von 100 nm bis 500 nm in transportabler oder stationärer Ausführung mit einer Stromquelle.1. Test method for detecting counterfeit money using a special holding device and a light source in the range from 100 nm to 500 nm in a portable or stationary version with a power source.
  • 2. Bedingt durch moderne Kopiertechnik (Farbkopierer) wird es immer leichter Geldscheine nachzumachen und diese zu erkennen. Unsere Erfindung ist eine einfache und schnell durchzuführende Möglichkeit diese Nachteile zu vermeiden, d.h. echte und falsche Geldscheine voneinander zu unterscheiden.2. Due to modern copying technology (color copier) it is always easier to imitate and recognize banknotes. Our invention is a simple and quick way to avoid these drawbacks, i.e. distinguish real and false banknotes.
  • 3. In den Zeichnungen wird das Prinzip der Bestrahlung dargestellt, die mittels einer Streuscheibe/Linse und/oder eines Filters und der Lichtquelle die Funktion darstellt.3. In the drawings, the principle of the radiation is shown, which represents the function by means of a lens / lens and / or a filter and the light source.
  • 4. Eine beschichtete Lampe, die als Lichtquelle nur Wellen von 100 nm bis 500 nm durchläßt und so zusätzliche Maßnahmen zur Filterung erübrigt, ist ebenfalls Bestandteil der Erfindung.4. A coated lamp which only transmits waves of 100 nm to 500 nm as a light source and thus makes additional filtering measures unnecessary is also part of the invention.
