Card storage protection box

Abstract

The present invention provides a card storage protection box. The card storage protection box includes a box body, a card moving component, a push handle and a spring. When a force is applied to the push handle to push the push handle to move from a first position to a second position against the elastic force of the spring, the push handle at least rotates the second end of the card moving component from a third position to a fourth position, and when the force applied to the push handle is cancelled, the elastic force of the spring causes the push handle to return from the second position to the first position, while the second end of the card moving component does not return from the fourth position to the third position. The card storage protection box of the present invention reduces the reset force required to be provided by the spring, and there is no need to worry about the problem that the push handle cannot return to the first position due to the card getting stuck.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a protection box, and more particularly to a storage protection box for placing cards and other items with similar sizes to the cards. The cards are particularly various cards conforming to the size of ISO7810, such as bank cards / credit cards. Background Art

[0002] The way to store bank cards and other items includes pockets in wallets for placing cards. Currently, most of these pockets are made of leather or artificial leather and are elastic. Due to long-term placement in such pockets, the cards will react chemically with the pockets, resulting in the cards being cracked, damaged, bent, deformed, etc. Moreover, since the pockets in the wallet are compactly arranged and the pocket space is limited, it is difficult to put in or take out the cards.

[0003] The way of storing bank cards and other items also includes shell-type storage, such as a card storage box. European patent EP0287532 A2 discloses a shell-type storage, which includes a shell, the shell has a card outlet, the card outlet is provided with a movable cover, a stepped card moving component is rotatably provided in the shell, and a trigger button of the card moving component is provided on the surface of the shell. When a shell-type storage with a stepped card moving component of this scheme stores a large number of cards with different thicknesses, when the stepped card moving component is rotated, the stepped portion of the stepped card moving component will cause the cards of different thicknesses stored therein to be stacked together and pushed out, that is, the stepped card moving component cannot completely disperse and push out each card, which results in that all the pushed out cards cannot be effectively seen.

[0004] Chinese patent CN 206238669 U discloses a card protection box, which includes a box body and a card outlet. Two inner side walls of the box body are oppositely provided with grooves near the card outlet, and an elastic member is provided in the groove. A stepped card moving member is rotatably provided in the box body, and a push handle is provided at the bottom of the shell body. The push handle cooperates with the stepped card moving member in a toothed manner. When a card is put in, the elastic member clamps both sides of the card.

[0005] In addition, when using the stepped card moving member commonly used in current card boxes, due to the small number of cards (for example, 1-3 cards) and other reasons, the cards are not placed parallel to the inner wall of the shell when placed in the shell storage, and the bottom edge of the card is often not completely aligned with the corresponding step portion. This results in the bottom edge of the card constantly colliding with the multiple step portions of the stepped card moving member when the push handle is pushed to rotate the stepped card moving member, producing a loud noise. At the same time, the bottom edge of the card will scrape against the multiple step portions, thereby damaging the bottom edge of the card and wearing out the step portions over time, causing the card box to be unable to perform the function of pushing the card out in a stepped shape.

[0006] In addition, in such card boxes, since the push handle and the card moving member move together, the spring needs to provide the force required for the push handle and the card moving member to reset. Moreover, if the card is stuck, the spring will not be able to reset the push handle and the card moving member. Summary of the invention

[0055] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0056] Figure 1 An exemplary card storage protection box 1 is shown, comprising a box body 10, one end of which is provided with a card inlet and outlet (not shown in the figure) and the left side of the other end (as viewed from the direction shown in the figure) is provided with a transverse through slot 14, and a push handle 20 is installed on the transverse through slot 14 and can move along the transverse through slot 14. The interior of the box body 10 is used to place a card 50, which can be a credit card or other cards and articles with a size close to the credit card. In this embodiment, various cards that meet the ISO7810 size can be placed inside the box body 10.

[0057] Figure 2 It shows Figure 1The exploded schematic diagram of a card storage protection box, the box body 10 includes a U-shaped wall 11, an upper panel 12 and a relative lower panel 13 (not shown), the upper panel 12 and the lower panel 13 are respectively fixed to the top and bottom ends of the U-shaped wall 11 by screws 51. The outer boundaries of the upper panel 12 and the lower panel 13 are respectively flush with the outer boundaries of the U-shaped wall 11. A card entrance and exit are formed between the open end 15 of the U-shaped wall 11 and the upper panel 12 and the lower panel 13. The right side of the closed end 16 of the U-shaped wall 11 (when viewed from the direction shown in the figure) has a transverse notch 17, and a transverse through groove 14 is formed between the transverse notch 17 and the upper panel 12. The upper panel 12 and the lower panel 13 are components with the same structure, and the material can be metal, plastic, etc.

[0058] Figure 3 The cross-sectional view shows Figure 1 A part of a card storage protection box 1 includes a card moving arrangement structure of a card moving member according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 Shows Figure 3 The push handle 20 in the middle. Figure 5 Shows Figure 3 The card moving member 30. Figure 3 As shown, a push handle 20 is provided on the transverse through slot 14, and the push handle 20 can move along the transverse through slot 14. Figure 4 As shown, the push handle 20 includes a toggle portion 21 and a push portion 22 opposite to the toggle portion 21. The push portion 22 extends into the interior of the box body 10 via the transverse through slot 14 and is provided with a driving portion, which is used to rotate the card moving member 20. In this embodiment, the driving portion is a linear toothed portion 23. A limited notch 25 is formed between the toothed portion 23 and the toggle portion 21. The transverse end ( Figure 4 A connecting portion 24 is provided (left side in the middle), and the connecting portion 24 is located inside the box body 10. The limiting notch 25 can limit the distance that the push handle 20 moves along the transverse through slot 14.

[0059] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a support portion 18 is provided inside the box body 10, and the support portion 18 is connected to the lower box body 13 and the U-shaped wall 11. The box body 10 is provided with a positioning portion 26, and the positioning portion 26 extends from the box body 10 toward the inside of the box body relative to the connecting portion 24. The bottom of the positioning portion 26 is connected to the support portion 18 and a positioning space 27 is formed between the U-shaped wall 11, and the connecting portion 24 is partially accommodated in the positioning space 27. When the push handle 20 is pushed to move along the transverse through groove 14, the positioning space 27 plays a positioning role on the connecting portion 24, ensuring that the movement of the push handle 20 is in a horizontal state.

[0060] A spring 28 is contained in the positioning space 27, one end of the spring 28 is fixed to the U-shaped wall 11, and the other end is sleeved on the connecting portion 24 and fixed to one end of the connecting portion 24. The spring 28 is a compression spring. When the push handle 20 is pushed to move rightward along the transverse through slot 14, the spring 28 is compressed, thereby generating a reaction force on the push portion 22, which increases the thrust required to push the push handle 20. When the push handle 20 is released, the spring 28 is reset, and the push handle 20 automatically moves leftward along the transverse through slot 14 under the action of the spring 28, without the need to manually push the push handle 20 to return it to its original position.

[0061] like Figure 3 As shown, a card moving member 30 is rotatably connected to the support portion 18. The card moving member 30 can rotate on the support portion 18 around its rotation axis. Figure 3 In the embodiment shown, the card moving member 30 is a rod, which includes a main body 31. The main body 31 is integrally formed for ease of manufacture. The bottom surface of the main body is orthogonal to the rotation axis of the main body. The end 33 of the main body 31 forms an inclined surface 37. The inclined surface 37 is inclined relative to the bottom surface. The inclined surface 37 has a continuously changing height from the bottom surface of the main body 31, and the height increases from the outer periphery ( Figure 3 The right end in the middle) gradually increases toward the inside of the main body 31. The other end of the main body 31 has a quarter-circular structure 32, and the center of the quarter-circular structure 32 has a mounting hole 35. A pivot 34 is provided on the support portion 18, and the main body 31 is rotatably connected to the support portion 18 through the pivot 34. The card moving member 30 has a transmission part that cooperates with the driving part of the push handle 20. In this embodiment, the transmission part is a toothed portion 36. The toothed portion 36 that meshes with the toothed portion 23 of the pushing portion 22 is formed on the outer boundary of the quarter-circular structure 32. When the push handle 20 is pushed to move it to the right, through the meshing action of the toothed portion 23 of the pushing portion 22 and the toothed portion 36 of the rod, according to the gear transmission principle, the push handle 20 can cause the rod to rotate around the pivot 34 toward the inside of the box body 10, and the rotation of the rod causes the end 33 with the inclined surface 37 to rotate. Under the restriction of the limiting notch 25 of the push handle 20, the end 33 with the inclined surface 37 can rotate a certain angle, such as Figure 6 shown.

[0062] In this embodiment, the push handle and the card moving member are matched by gear meshing, but in other embodiments, the push handle and the card moving member can be matched by cam push rod, cam, friction wheel or any other form of matching that can realize the rotation of the card moving member.

[0063] Preferably, the height of the end portion 33 is substantially equal to the height of the interior of the box body 10 . The distance between the end portion 33 and the card inlet and outlet is substantially equal to or greater than the length of the card 50 inside the box body 10 .

[0064] like Figure 5 As shown, the upper end of the inclined surface 37 is arranged inside the end portion 33 and the lower end of the inclined surface 37 is arranged outside the end portion 33, that is, the height of the inclined surface 37 from the bottom surface is from the outer periphery of the end portion 33 ( Figure 5 When multiple cards 50 are placed in the box body 10, the lower end of the inclined surface 37 contacts the card near the lower panel 13 and the upper end of the inclined surface 37 contacts the card near the upper panel 12, so that when the card moving member 30 is rotated, the lower end of the inclined surface 37 pushes the card out of the card entrance further than the upper end of the inclined surface 37. Since the inclined surface is continuous, each card can be pushed out in a dispersed manner without being affected by the number of cards and the thickness of the cards. The card pushing state is as follows: Figure 7 As shown. Moreover, because the inclined surface 37 does not have edges and corners, the bottom edge of the card will not be scratched basically, thereby reducing the damage to the card. In addition, the inclined surface 37 is simple in structure and is easy to manufacture.

[0065] The inclined surface 37 forms an inclined angle with the bottom surface of the main body 31 . Preferably, the inclined angle is 5 degrees to 30 degrees, preferably 16 degrees.

[0066] Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The elastic member 41 is shown. Preferably, the elastic member 41 is a silicone elastic member. The U-shaped wall 11 is provided with a pair of grooves 40 opposite to each other, and the elastic member 41 is provided in the grooves 40. The elastic member 41 includes an embedding portion 42 and a contact portion 43, and the contact portion 43 is provided with a serrated protrusion 46, and the serrated protrusion 46 protrudes toward the inside of the box body 10 beyond the U-shaped wall 11. The embedding portion 42 fits into the groove 40. The elastic member 41 contacts the longitudinal side of the card 50 with the serrated protrusion 46, and as shown in FIG. Fig. 9 As shown, the serrated protrusion 46 can be tilted along the insertion direction of the card 50 to clamp the card and maintain the position of the card. Under the elastic action of the elastic member 41 itself, the serrated protrusion 46 contacts the longitudinal side of the card 50 with different tolerance ranges, thereby effectively clamping the card 50 with different tolerance ranges. The size, position and number of the elastic member 41 can be adjusted according to the degree to which the card is retained.

[0067] Fig.10 Shows the card in the pushed state Figure 8 During the process of the card 50 being pushed out, the serrated protrusion 46 of the elastic member 41 is in close contact with the card and moves with the card 50 toward the card entrance, thereby clamping the card and maintaining the relative position of the card before, during and after the card 50 is pushed out.

[0068] In this embodiment, the pair of elastic members 41 can cooperate with the inclined surface 37 made of anti-slip material or having an anti-slip coating to respectively hold the two ends of the card to maintain the position of the card.

[0069] Fig.11 Another embodiment of the elastic member structure is shown. Fig.11 In the embodiment, two grooves 140 are respectively arranged on both sides of the U-shaped wall 11, and the length of the groove 140 close to the opening end of the storage protection box is approximately twice the length of the other groove 140. Corresponding elastic members 141 are respectively arranged in the two grooves 140. Figure 8 and Fig. 9 Similar to the elastic member 41 shown in FIG, the elastic member 141 includes an embedding portion 142 and a contact portion 143. The contact portion of the elastic member 141 disposed in the groove 140 near the open end of the storage protection box is provided with two serrated protrusions 146, while the contact portion of the elastic member 141 disposed in the groove 140 away from the open end of the storage protection box is provided with one serrated protrusion 146. This ensures that the card can be firmly stuck while reducing the resistance to pushing out the card, making the card push out smoother. It should be understood that the configuration of the serrated protrusions can be adjusted as needed.

[0070] In another embodiment, the U-shaped wall 11 is provided with a pair of grooves near the card inlet and outlet and near the transverse through groove 14, and elastic members are provided in the grooves, and the elastic members are suitable for keeping the card in the corresponding position after the card is pushed out. The two pairs of elastic members support both ends of the card, so that the card can be kept in the corresponding position even when the inclined surface does not have an anti-slip coating or adopts an anti-slip material, or even when the inclined surface is very smooth and has a very low friction coefficient, that is, after one of the cards is pulled out, the positions of the remaining cards remain unchanged.

[0071] Regarding the prior art technical solution of using a stepped portion to push out the card, the inventor has verified through experiments that, when the card is not placed in parallel, after multiple card pushing operations, the bottom edge of the card is obviously worn out. In a comparative experiment using the inclined surface technical solution proposed in this application, the wear problem is effectively improved, and the effect of pushing out the card and the effect of holding the card after pushing out are comparable to those of the technical solution using a stepped portion. In addition, the inventor has conducted relevant experiments on the angle of the inclined surface and obtained a preferred angle.

[0072] Fig.12 Shows Figure 3 An improved embodiment of the card moving member is shown. Fig.12 The card moving member 130 includes Figure 3 In addition to the same structure as the card moving member 30 in FIG. 1 , it also includes a protrusion 138. Figure 12-14As shown, the projection 138 is formed at the position where the height of the inclined surface 137 from the bottom surface of the rod is the largest and extends away from the inclined surface 137, that is, the projection 138 is formed at the highest point of the inclined surface 137 and continues to extend upward based on the inclined surface, so that after the card is dispersed and pushed out, it plays a stopper role for the card held on the inclined surface 138 and thus prevents the card from sliding toward the bottom edge of the U-shaped wall 11 of the storage protection box, and prevents the card from contacting the relevant transmission mechanism of the storage protection box and preventing the card from interfering with the movement of the card moving member 30 and the push handle 20, thereby preventing the storage protection box from being stuck. The height of the projection 138 relative to the inclined surface should be greater than half of the thickness of the card and less than the thickness of the card. For example, when the thickness of the card is 0.8 mm, the height of the projection 138 can be 0.6 mm. In addition, when the card moving member 130 is installed in a card-type storage protection box, the distance between the top of the projection 138 and the inner surface of the upper panel 12 of the storage protection box should be less than the thickness of the card. This prevents the cards that are pushed out separately from sliding back into the protection box again unless the card moving member 130 is rotated and retracted. In addition, the protrusion 138 can span the entire width of the inclined surface 137, or can be formed in sections on the inclined surface 137. Preferably, the top of the protrusion 138 is smooth to reduce friction with the inner surface of the upper plate surface 12, for example, the top of the protrusion 138 is rounded, coated with a friction-reducing coating, a friction-reducing film is attached, etc.

[0073] Adding a raised feature on the inclined surface will make the cards more firmly stay on the inclined surface after being dispersed and pushed out, and will not slide back into the protection box due to the card's own weight or shaking the storage protection box, thereby preventing the removal of the card from being affected and preventing the storage protection box from being stuck due to interference with the movement of the transmission mechanism. Adding the raised feature can accordingly save the need to add a structure on the inclined surface to increase the friction of the inclined surface, making the manufacturing of the inclined surface simpler.

[0074] Next, Figure 15-20 A push handle and a corresponding card moving member according to an embodiment of the present invention are shown. Figure 15-20 In the embodiment shown, when the push handle is moved along the transverse through slot in a first direction (eg, Fig.15 and Fig.18 When the push handle moves in the left direction, the push handle can at least rotate the second end of the card moving member including the card moving portion (for example, the second end of the card moving member including the card moving portion can be rotated along the left direction). Fig.15 and Fig.18 (clockwise in the direction of rotation). Figure 15-20 In the embodiment shown, when the push handle moves along the transverse through slot in a second direction opposite to the first direction (for example, Fig.15 and Fig.18When the push handle moves in the right direction, the push handle cannot rotate the second end of the card moving member including the card moving portion (for example, the push handle cannot rotate the second end of the card moving member including the card moving portion along the right direction). Fig.15 and Fig.18 In other words, the push handle is configured to only enable the second end of the card moving member including the card moving portion to rotate in one direction, but not to enable the second end of the card moving member including the card moving portion to rotate in the opposite direction.

[0075] Therefore, when a force is applied to the push handle to push the push handle to move from the first position to the second position along the transverse through slot against the elastic force of the spring, the push handle at least rotates the second end of the card moving member from the third position to the fourth position, and when the force applied to the push handle is removed, the elastic force of the spring returns the push handle from the second position to the first position, while the second end of the card moving member does not return from the fourth position to the third position. This allows the second end of the card moving member to return to the third position, for example, by gravity, even if the card is stuck.

[0076] Fig.15 It is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a part of a card storage protection box according to an embodiment of the present invention, which shows a push handle and a corresponding card moving component according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The card moving member 230 includes a bottom surface, a first end and a second end. The first end is formed with a transmission part. The transmission part has a rotation axis orthogonal to the bottom surface. The transmission part is configured to receive an external torque to rotate the card moving member 230 around the rotation axis. The second end is opposite to the first end. The second end is formed with a card moving part. The card moving part has an inclined surface 237. The inclined surface 237 is at an inclined angle with the bottom surface, and the height of the inclined surface 237 from the bottom surface gradually increases from the second end to the first end. The card moving member 230 includes a mounting hole 235, which is configured to cooperate with the pivot 34 of the support portion 18 so that the card moving member 230 can rotate on the support portion 18 around its rotation axis.

[0078] like Fig.15 As shown, in operation, when a force is applied to the push handle 220 to move the push handle 220 in the direction toward the left along the transverse slot 14 against the elastic force of the spring 28, the first protrusion 223 of the push handle 220 engages the second protrusion 236 of the card moving member 230 from the right side. Further movement of the push handle 220 in the direction toward the left along the transverse slot 14 causes the first protrusion 223 to push the second protrusion 236 to the left, causing the card moving member 230 to rotate in the clockwise direction around the pivot 34. When the force applied to the push handle 220 is removed, the elastic force of the spring 28 causes the push handle 220 to move in the direction toward the right along the transverse slot 14, and the first protrusion 223 of the push handle 220 is disengaged from the second protrusion 236 of the card moving member 230, so that when the push handle moves in the direction toward the right along the transverse slot 14, the card moving member 230 does not rotate, or in other words, the card moving member 230 does not rotate with the movement of the push handle 220. In other words, the push handle 220 is configured to move the card moving member 230 in only one direction ( Fig.15 ), but cannot cause the card moving member 230 to rotate in the opposite direction ( Fig.15 counterclockwise in the direction of rotation.

[0079] Fig.18 It is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a part of a card storage protection box according to another embodiment of the present invention, which shows a push handle and a corresponding card moving component according to another embodiment of the present invention. Fig.18 The push handle 320 and Figure 4 The push handle 20 shown in the figure has the same structure, which will not be described in detail here. Figure 5 The illustrated card moving member 30 has a substantially similar appearance, except that the card moving member 330 includes a first portion 330a and a second portion 330b. Fig.19 Shows Fig.18 The first part 330a of the card moving member 330 in FIG. Fig. 20 Shows Fig.18 The card moving member 330 includes a second part 330b of the card moving member 330. The card moving member 330 includes a bottom surface, a first end, and a second end. A transmission part is formed at the first end. The transmission part has a rotation axis orthogonal to the bottom surface. The transmission part is configured to receive an external torque to rotate the card moving member 330 around the rotation axis. The second end is opposite to the first end. A card moving part is formed at the second end. The card moving part has an inclined surface 337. The inclined surface 337 is at an inclined angle to the bottom surface, and the height of the inclined surface 337 from the bottom surface gradually increases from the second end to the first end.

[0080] like Fig.19 As shown, the first part 330a includes a first end formed with a transmission portion, which cooperates with the driving portion of the push handle 320. In this embodiment, the driving portion of the push handle 320 is a linear toothed portion 323, and the transmission portion of the first part 330a is an arc-shaped toothed portion 336. The toothed portion 336 configured to mesh with the toothed portion 323 is formed on the outer periphery of the approximately quarter-circular structure 332. The first part 330a also includes a mounting hole 335a, which is configured to cooperate with the pivot 34 of the support portion 18 so that the first part 330a can rotate on the support portion 18 around its rotation axis. The first part 330a also includes an arc-shaped groove 339a. The center of the arc of the arc-shaped groove 339a coincides with the center of the mounting hole 335a. As shown in FIG. Fig. 20 As shown, the second part includes a second end formed with a card moving portion. The second part 330b is formed with an inclined surface 337 similar to the card moving member 30 at the end 333. At the other end opposite to the inclined surface 337, the second part 330b includes a mounting hole 335b, which is configured to cooperate with the pivot 34 of the support portion 18 so that the second part 330b can rotate on the support portion 18 around its rotation axis. Near the mounting hole 335b, the second part 330b includes a pin 339b. The extending direction of the axis of the pin 339b is the same as the extending direction of the axis of the mounting hole 335b. When the first part 330a and the second part 330b are respectively connected to the pivot 34 of the support part 18 via the mounting holes 335a and 335b, the toothed portion 336 of the first part 330a is engaged with the toothed portion 323 of the push handle 320, and the pin 339b of the second part 330b is inserted into the arc-shaped groove 339a of the first part 330a and can slide along an arc track in the arc-shaped groove 339a of the first part 330a. The assembly relationship between the first part 330a and the second part 330b is as follows: Fig.21 shown.

[0081] like Fig.18As shown, in operation, when a force is applied to the push handle 320 to make the push handle 320 move in the direction toward the left along the transverse through slot 14 against the elastic force of the spring 28, the push handle 320 can make the first part 330a rotate clockwise around the pivot 34 through the meshing action of the toothed portion 323 of the push handle 320 and the toothed portion 336 of the first part 330a according to the gear transmission principle. Furthermore, since the pin 339b of the second part 330b is inserted into the arc-shaped groove 339a of the first part 330a and engages against the end wall of the arc-shaped groove 339a, the rotation of the first part 330a causes the end wall of the arc-shaped groove 339a to push the pin 339b of the second part 330b, so that the second part 330b also rotates clockwise around the pivot 34. When the force applied to the push handle 320 is removed, the elastic force of the spring 28 causes the push handle 320 to move in the direction toward the right along the transverse through slot 14. Through the meshing action of the toothed portion 323 of the push handle 320 and the toothed portion 336 of the first portion 330a, according to the gear transmission principle, the push handle 320 can cause the first portion 330a to rotate counterclockwise around the pivot 34. However, when the first portion 330a rotates counterclockwise around the pivot 34, the end wall of the arc-shaped groove 339a is disengaged from the pin 339b of the second portion 330b, so that the rotation of the first portion 330a does not cause the second portion 330b to rotate around the pivot 34, or in other words, the second portion 330b does not rotate with the rotation of the first portion 330a. At this time, from the perspective of relative motion, the pin 339b of the second portion 330b slides along an arc track in the arc-shaped groove 339a of the first portion 330a relative to the first portion 330a. In other words, the push handle 320 is configured to enable the second portion 330b of the card moving member 330 to move in only one direction ( Fig.18 ), but cannot make the second portion 330b of the card moving member 330 rotate in the opposite direction ( Fig.18 counterclockwise in the direction of rotation.

[0082] Figure 15-20 One advantage of the illustrated embodiment is that when the force applied to the push handle is released, the spring only needs to provide a reset force for returning the push handle from the second position to the first position, but does not need to provide a reset force for returning the second end of the card moving component from the fourth position to the third position, thereby reducing the reset force that the spring needs to provide. Figure 15-20Another advantage of the embodiment shown is that when the push handle moves along the transverse slot in the second direction opposite to the first direction, the push handle cannot rotate the second end of the card moving member, that is, the second end of the card moving member does not rotate with the movement of the push handle, so even if the card is stuck, the spring can still return the push handle to the original position without being affected. In this case, the spring can be made of less material and / or cheaper material, and there is no need to worry about the problem that the card is stuck and the push handle cannot return to the first position.
