Abstract:
The present invention relates to the field of magnetic assemblies and processes for producing optical effect layers (OEL) comprising magnetically oriented non-spherical magnetic or magnetizable pigment particles on a substrate. In particular, the present invention relates magnetic assemblies and processes for producing said OELs as anti-counterfeit means on security documents or security articles or for decorative purposes.

Claim (Index 10):
An apparatus for producing an optical effect layer on a substrate, said optical effect layer providing an optical impression of one or more loop-shaped bodies having a size that varies upon tilting the optical effect layer and comprising oriented non-spherical magnetic or magnetizable pigment particles in a cured radiation curable coating composition, wherein the apparatus comprises:\n a) a magnetic assembly comprising a supporting matrix and:\n a1) a loop-shaped magnetic-field generating device being either a single loop-shaped dipole magnet having a magnetic axis substantially perpendicular to the substrate surface or a combination of two or more dipole magnets disposed in a loop-shaped arrangement, each of the two or more dipole magnets having a magnetic axis substantially perpendicular to the substrate surface and having a same magnetic field direction, and \n a2) a single dipole magnet having a magnetic axis substantially perpendicular to the substrate surface or two or more dipole magnets, each of the two or more dipole magnets having a magnetic axis substantially perpendicular to the substrate surface and having a same magnetic field direction and/or one or more pole pieces, \n b) a magnetic-field generating device being either a single made of a bar dipole magnet having a magnetic axis substantially parallel to the substrate surface or a combination of two or more bar dipole magnets, each of the two or more bar dipole magnets having a magnetic axis substantially parallel to the substrate surface and having a same magnetic field direction.
