Patent Images
1. A ticket comprisinga paper substrate,a reflective extruded security stripe on said substrate, said stripe being deposited from a composition comprising a leafing aluminum pigment and a binder, said stripe having a gloss characteristic of from about 20 to about 24 as measured on a Gardner/BYK Microgloss meter at a 60°
- angle, said stripe being deposited at a dry weight of from about 10 to about 30 grams/square meter, said stripe being adherent to the substrate.

Abstract
Documents bearing a thin reflective extruded security stripe comprising a leafing aluminum pigment having a gloss characteristic of from 20 to 24 as measured on a Gardner/BYK Microglass meter at a 60° angle. A water soluble dye may be incorporated in the stripe. A method of making the document and a dye containing leafing aluminum pigment for extrusion on the document are also disclosed.

11. A document comprising a paper substrate, and on said substrate a magnetic recording stripe and a spaced parallel extruded elongated reflective stripe, said reflective stripe comprising leafing aluminum pigment and a binder and having a gloss characteristic of from about 20 to about 24 as measured on a Gardner/BYK Microgloss meter at a 60°
- angle, said reflective stripe having a thickness of from about 0.0003 to about 0.0006 inch and being adherent to the substrate.

18. A method of making a ticket resistant to counterfeiting and forging comprising the steps of
providing a paper ticket stock substrate, preparing a composition comprising leafing aluminum pigment particles, a vehicle which evaporates, and a binder, extruding said composition onto said substrate and curing said composition in an elongated stripe and evaporating said vehicle to leave a deposit of said aluminum pigment particles, said stripe having a gloss characteristic of from about 20 to about 24 as measured on a Gardner/BYK Microgloss meter at a 60° - angle, said stripe being deposited at a dry weight of from about 10 to about 30 grams/square meter and being adherent to said substrate.

25. A method of making a ticket resistant to counterfeiting and forging comprising the steps of
providing a paper ticket stock substrate, grinding a dye in an organic solvent in which it is not soluble until it is thoroughly wetted-out by the solvent and reduced to a very fine particle size of no more than 15 microns in any dimension, mixing a leafing aluminum pigment and a binder in an organic solvent, and then mixing said wetted-out dye therewith to produce an extrudable composition in which all of the particles in the composition have a particle size of no more than 15 microns in any dimension, and then extruding said extrudable composition onto a ticket substrate along its length and curing said composition to produce a reflective security stripe having a gloss characteristic of from about 20 to about 24 as measured on a Gardner/BYK Microgloss meter at a 60° - angle.
