Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a protective case, and more particularly to a storage protective case for placing cards and other items with similar dimensions thereto, and the cards are in particular various cards conforming to the ISO7810 dimensions, such as bank cards / credit cards. Background Art

[0002] The ways of storing items such as bank cards include pockets for placing cards in a wallet. Currently, most of such pockets are made of leather or artificial leather and are elastic. Due to long-term placement in such pockets, the cards will have a chemical reaction with the pockets, resulting in situations such as the cards being cracked, damaged, bent, deformed, etc. Moreover, since the pockets in the wallet are arranged compactly and the pocket space is limited, it is relatively difficult to put in or take out the cards.

[0003] The ways of storing items such as bank cards also include a housing-type storage, such as a card storage box. European Patent EP0287532 A2 discloses a housing-type storage, which includes a housing having an ejection slot provided with a movable cover, and a stepped card moving member is rotatably provided in the housing, and a trigger button of the stepped card moving member is provided on the surface of the housing. In the case of a housing-type storage with a stepped card moving member having such a solution, when storing a relatively large number of cards with different thicknesses, when the stepped card moving member is rotated, the stepped portion thereof will stack and push out the cards with different thicknesses stored therein. That is to say, the stepped card moving member cannot completely disperse and push out each card, which results in not being able to effectively see all the pushed-out cards.

[0004] Chinese Patent CN 206238669 U discloses a card protective case, which includes a case body and an ejection slot, and two inner side walls of the case body are relatively provided with grooves near the ejection slot, and an elastic member is provided in the grooves. A stepped card moving member is rotatably provided in the case body, and a push handle is provided at the bottom of the case body, and the push handle is in meshing engagement with the stepped card moving member. When the card is put in, the elastic member clamps both sides of the card.

[0005] In addition, in the case of using the stepped card moving member commonly used in current card cases, due to reasons such as a small number of cards placed (for example, 1-3 cards), when the cards are put into the housing-type storage, they are not put in parallel to the inner wall of the housing, and the bottom edge of the card often does not completely align with the corresponding stepped portion. This results in that when the push handle is pushed to rotate the stepped card moving member, the bottom edge of the card continuously impacts with multiple stepped portions of the stepped card moving member and generates a relatively large sound. At the same time, the bottom edge of the card will scrape with multiple stepped portions, thereby damaging the bottom edge of the card and wearing the stepped portion over time, resulting in the card case being unable to perform the function of pushing out the cards in a stepped manner.

[0006] In addition, in such a card case, since the push handle and the card moving member move together, the spring needs to provide the force required for resetting both the push handle and the card moving member. Moreover, if the card gets stuck, the spring will not be able to reset the push handle and the card moving member. Also, when the user pushes the push handle to rotate the card moving member, since the card moving member contacts the card case, a large friction will be generated, resulting in the need to use a large force to push the push handle, greatly affecting the user experience.

[0063] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0064] Figure 1 Shows an exemplary card storage protection box 1, including a box body 10. One end of the box body 10 is provided with a card entrance and exit (not shown in the figure), and the left side of the other end (observed from the illustrated direction) is provided with a transverse through slot 14. A push handle 20 that can move along the transverse through slot 14 is installed on the transverse through slot 14. The interior of the box body 10 is used to place cards 50. The cards 50 can be credit cards and other cards, items, etc. with similar sizes thereto. In this embodiment, various cards conforming to the ISO7810 size can be placed inside the box body 10.

[0065] Figure 2 Is a schematic exploded view of the card storage protection box showing Figure 1 . The box body 10 includes a U-shaped wall 11, an upper panel 12, and an opposite 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 flush with the outer boundary of the U-shaped wall 11 respectively. A card entrance and exit is 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 (observed from the illustrated direction) of the closed end 16 of the U-shaped wall 11 has a transverse notch 17, and a transverse through slot 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.

[0066] Figure 3 Shows in a sectional view a part of the card storage protection box 1 Figure 1 including the card moving arrangement structure of the card moving member according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 Shows Figure 3 the push handle 20 in Figure 5a Shows Figure 3 the card moving member 30 in 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. As 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.

[0067] 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.

[0068] 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.

[0069] like Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1 , 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 3towards the inside of the main body 31. The other end of the main body 31 has a quarter-circular structure 32, and there is a mounting hole 35 at the center of the quarter-circular structure 32. 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 portion that cooperates with the driving portion of the push handle 20. In this embodiment, the transmission portion 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 perimeter of the quarter-circular structure 32. When the push handle 20 is pushed to move it to the right, due to the meshing of the toothed portion 23 of the pushing portion 22 and the toothed portion 36 of the rod member, according to the gear transmission principle, the push handle 20 can cause the rod member to rotate towards the inside of the cartridge 10 around the pivot 34. The rotation of the rod member 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 as shown.

[0070] In this embodiment, the cooperation between the push handle and the card moving member is a gear meshing cooperation. However, in other embodiments, the cooperation between the push handle and the card moving member can be a cam push rod cooperation, a cam cooperation, a friction wheel cooperation, and any form of cooperation that can achieve the rotation of the card moving member.

[0071] Preferably, the height of the end 33 is substantially equal to the height inside the cartridge 10. The distance between the end 33 and the card entrance and exit is substantially equal to or greater than the length of the card 50 inside the cartridge 10.

[0072] As Figure 5a shown, the upper end of the inclined surface 37 is provided inside the end 33 while the lower end of the inclined surface 37 is provided at the outer end of the end 33, that is, the height of the inclined surface 37 from the bottom surface gradually increases from the outer perimeter of the end 33 ( Figure 5a the left end in). When multiple cards 50 are placed inside the cartridge 10, the lower end of the inclined surface 37 contacts the card close to the lower panel 13 while the upper end of the inclined surface 37 contacts the card close to the upper panel 12. As a result, when the card moving member 30 is rotated, the lower end of the inclined surface 37 will push the card out of the card entrance and exit farther than the upper end of the inclined surface 37. Since the inclined surface is continuous, each card can be dispersed and pushed out without being affected by the number of cards and the thickness of the cards. The card pushing state is as Figure 7 shown. Moreover, since there are no sharp corners on the inclined surface 37, it basically will not scratch the bottom edge of the card, thereby reducing the damage to the card. In addition, the inclined surface 37 has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture.

[0073] Figure 5a The card moving member may also be provided with a friction reducing device. As Figure 5b and Figure 5cAs shown, the friction reducing device includes a groove 60 provided at the bottom of the card moving member 30, and rolling elements placed in the groove 60. The rolling elements can, for example, take the form of ball bearings 61. The ball bearings 61 are rotatably arranged in the groove 60 and protrude from the bottom surface and contact the upper panel 12 of the cartridge 10. When the card moving member 30 rotates, the ball bearings 61 contact the upper plate surface of the cartridge 10 instead of the bottom surface of the card moving member 30. Since the ball bearings 61 contact the cartridge 10 and can roll in the groove 60, the friction between the bottom surface of the card moving member 30 and the upper surface of the cartridge 10 changes from sliding friction to rolling friction, thereby significantly reducing the frictional force received by the bottom surface of the card moving member 30. By providing the above friction reducing device, the force required to push the card moving member 30 is significantly reduced, enabling the user to more easily and smoothly eject the card.

[0074] The inclined surface 37 forms an inclination angle with the bottom surface of the main body 31. Preferably, the inclination angle is 5 degrees - 30 degrees, preferably 16 degrees.

[0075] Figure 8 and Figure 9 The elastic member 41 is shown. Preferably, the elastic member 41 is a silicone elastic member. The U-shaped walls 11 are oppositely provided with pairs of grooves 40, 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. The contact portion 43 is provided with serrated protrusions 46 that protrude towards the inside of the cartridge 10 beyond the U-shaped walls 11. The embedding portion 42 is fitted into the groove 40. The elastic member 41 contacts the longitudinal side edges of the card 50 by means of the serrated protrusions 46, and as Figure 9 shown, the serrated protrusions 46 can be inclined along the insertion direction of the card 50 to clamp the card and hold the position of the card. Under the elastic action of the elastic member 41 itself, the serrated protrusions 46 contact the longitudinal side edges of the cards 50 within different tolerance ranges, thereby effectively clamping the cards 50 within different tolerance ranges firmly. The size, position, and quantity of the elastic member 41 can be adjusted according to the degree required for holding the card.

[0076] Figure 10 The elastic member 41 in the state where the card is ejected is shown. During the process of ejecting the card 50, the serrated protrusions 46 of the elastic member 41 closely adhere to the card and move along with the card 50 towards the card entrance and exit direction, thereby clamping the card and maintaining the relative position of the card before, during, and after the card 50 is ejected. Figure 8

[0077] In this embodiment, the paired elastic members 41 can cooperate with the inclined surface 37 made of an anti-slip material or having an anti-slip coating to respectively hold both ends of the card to maintain the position of the card.

[0078] ​Figure 11 Another embodiment of the elastic member structure is shown. In Figure 11 , two grooves 140 are respectively provided on both sides of the U-shaped wall 11. The length of the groove 140 near the open end of the storage protection box in the two grooves 140 is approximately twice the length of the other groove 140. Corresponding elastic members 141 are respectively provided in the two grooves 140. Similar to Figure 8 and Figure 9 the elastic member 41 shown in, the elastic member 141 includes an embedding portion 142 and a contact portion 143. The contact portion of the elastic member 141 provided 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 provided in the groove 140 far from the open end of the storage protection box is provided with one serrated protrusion 146. This enables the card to be firmly clamped while reducing the resistance to pushing out the card, making the card push out more smoothly. It should be understood that the configuration of the serrated protrusions can be adjusted as needed.

[0079] In another embodiment, the U-shaped wall 11 is respectively provided with paired grooves near the card entrance and exit and near the transverse through groove 14. Elastic members are provided in the grooves and are adapted to hold the card in a corresponding position after the card is pushed out. The two pairs of elastic members support both ends of the card, so that even when the inclined plane does not have an anti-slip coating or uses an anti-slip material, and even when the inclined plane is very smooth and the friction coefficient is very low, the card can be held in the corresponding position, that is, after one of the cards is drawn out, the positions of the remaining cards remain unchanged.

[0080] For the prior art technical solution of using a stepped portion to push out the card, the inventor has confirmed through experiments that when the card is not placed parallel, after multiple operations of pushing out the card, obvious wear appears on the bottom edge of the card. In the comparative experiment of using the inclined plane technical solution proposed in the present application, the wear problem is effectively improved, and the effect of pushing out the card and the holding effect on the card after pushing out are comparable to the technical solution using the stepped portion. In addition, the inventor has conducted relevant experiments on the angle of the inclined plane and obtained a preferred angle.

[0081] Figure 12a shows Figure 3 an improved embodiment of the card moving member shown in Figure 12a The card moving member 130 in Figure 3 in addition to including the same structure as the card moving member 30 in Figure 12a-14As shown, the protrusion 138 is formed at the position where the height of the inclined surface 137 from the bottom surface of the rod member is the maximum and extends away from the inclined surface 137. That is, the protrusion 138 is formed at the highest point of the inclined surface 137 and continues to extend upward based on the inclined surface, so as to play a blocking role on the card held on the inclined surface 138 after the card is dispersed and pushed out, and thus prevent the card from sliding toward the bottom edge of the U-shaped wall 11 of the storage protection box, and prevent the card from contacting the relevant transmission mechanism of the storage protection box and prevent 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 jamming. The height by which the protrusion 138 protrudes 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 card thickness is 0.8 mm, the height by which the protrusion 138 protrudes can be 0.6 mm. In addition, when the card moving member 130 is installed in the card storage protection box, the distance from the top of the protrusion 138 to 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 dispersed and pushed-out card 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 segments on the inclined surface 137. Preferably, the top of the protrusion 138 is smooth to reduce the friction with the inner surface of the upper panel 12. For example, the top of the protrusion 138 is rounded, coated with a friction-reducing coating, pasted with a friction-reducing film, etc.

[0082] Adding a protrusion feature on the inclined surface will enable the card to be more firmly held on the inclined surface after being dispersed and pushed out, and will not slide back into the protection box due to the self-weight of the card or shaking the storage protection box, thereby preventing the card from being affected during removal and preventing the storage protection box from jamming due to interference with the movement of the transmission mechanism. Adding this protrusion feature can correspondingly eliminate the need to add a structure on the inclined surface to increase the surface friction of the inclined surface, making the manufacturing of the inclined surface simpler.

[0083] Figure 12a The card moving member can also be provided with a friction reducing device. As Figure 12b and Figure 12c shown, the friction reducing device includes a groove 160 provided on the bottom of the card moving member 130, and a rolling body placed in the groove 160. The rolling body can be in the form of a ball 161, for example. As described above, by providing the above friction reducing device, the force required to push the card moving member 130 is significantly reduced, so that the user can push the card out more easily and smoothly.

[0084] Next, Figure 15-2 0 shows the push handle and the corresponding card moving member according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the Figure 15-2 0 shown embodiment, when the push handle moves along the transverse through groove in the first direction (for example, Figure 15 andFigure 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). Figure 15 and Figure 18 (clockwise in the direction of rotation). Figure 15-2 In the embodiment shown in FIG. 0, when the push handle moves along the transverse through slot in a second direction opposite to the first direction (for example, Figure 15 and Figure 18 When 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). Figure 15 and Figure 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.

[0085] 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.

[0086] Figure 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. Figure 16 Shows Figure 15 The push handle 220 in the embodiment of the present invention. Figure 17a Shows Figure 15 The card moving member 230 in.

[0087] Figure 16 The push handle 220 shown is Figure 4 The push handle 20 shown has a similar structure, except that the driving portion of the push handle 220 is a first protrusion 223 . Figure 17a The card moving member 230 shown is Figure 5aThe shown card moving member 30 has a similar structure, except that the transmission part of the card moving member 230 is the second protruding part 236. The card moving member 230 includes a bottom surface, a first end, and a second end. The 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 230 about 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 237. The inclined surface 237 forms 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 configured to cooperate with the pivot 34 of the support part 18, so that the card moving member 230 can rotate on the support part 18 about its rotation axis.

[0088] As Figure 15 shown, during operation, when a force is applied to the push handle 220 to move the push handle 220 in the leftward direction along the transverse through slot 14 against the elastic force of the spring 28, the first protruding part 223 of the push handle 220 engages with the second protruding part 236 of the card moving member 230 from the right side. Further movement of the push handle 220 in the leftward direction along the transverse through slot 14 causes the first protruding part 223 to push the second protruding part 236 to the left, resulting in the card moving member 230 rotating clockwise about the pivot 34. When the force applied to the push handle 220 is withdrawn, the elastic force of the spring 28 causes the push handle 220 to move in the rightward direction along the transverse through slot 14, and the first protruding part 223 of the push handle 220 disengages from the second protruding part 236 of the card moving member 230, so that when the push handle moves in the rightward direction along the transverse through 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 be able to rotate the card moving member 230 only in one direction ( Figure 15 the clockwise direction in Figure 15 ), but cannot rotate the card moving member 230 in the opposite direction (

[0089] Figure 18 is a cross-sectional schematic view 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 member according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 18 The push handle 320 in Figure 4 has the same structure as the push handle 20 shown in Figure 5a , and will not be described in detail here. The card moving member 330 has a generally similar outer shape to the card moving member 30 shown in Figure 19 showsFigure 18 The first part 330a of the card moving member 330 in Figure 20a is shown Figure 18 The second part 330b of the card moving member 330 in. 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 be able to receive an external torque to rotate the card moving member 330 about 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 forms an inclined angle with 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.

[0090] As Figure 19 shown, the first part 330a includes the first end formed with a transmission part, and the transmission part cooperates with the driving part of the push handle 320. In this embodiment, the driving part of the push handle 320 is a linear tooth-shaped part 323, and the transmission part of the first part 330a is an arc-shaped tooth-shaped part 336. The tooth-shaped part 336 configured to mesh with the tooth-shaped part 323 is formed on the outer perimeter of a substantially quarter-circular structure 332. The first part 330a further includes a mounting hole 335a configured to cooperate with the pivot 34 of the support part 18, so that the first part 330a can rotate on the support part 18 about its rotation axis. The first part 330a further 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 Figure 20a shown, the second part includes the second end formed with a card moving part. The second part 330b forms an inclined surface 337 similar to that of 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 configured to cooperate with the pivot 34 of the support part 18, so that the second part 330b can rotate on the support part 18 about 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 through the mounting hole 335a and the mounting hole 335b, the tooth-shaped part 336 of the first part 330a meshes with the tooth-shaped part 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 the 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 Figure 21 shown.

[0091] As Figure 18As shown, during operation, when a force is applied to the push handle 320 to move the push handle 320 in the leftward direction along the transverse through slot 14 against the elastic force of the spring 28, 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, the push handle 320 can cause the first part 330a to rotate clockwise about the pivot 34. Furthermore, since the pin 339b of the second part 330b is inserted into the arcuate groove 339a of the first part 330a and engages against the end wall of the arcuate groove 339a, the rotation of the first part 330a causes the end wall of the arcuate groove 339a to push the pin 339b of the second part 330b, so that the second part 330b also rotates clockwise about the pivot 34. When the force applied to the push handle 320 is withdrawn, the elastic force of the spring 28 causes the push handle 320 to move in the rightward direction 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 part 330a, according to the gear transmission principle, the push handle 320 can cause the first part 330a to rotate counterclockwise about the pivot 34. However, when the first part 330a rotates counterclockwise about the pivot 34, the end wall of the arcuate groove 339a disengages from the pin 339b of the second part 330b, so that the rotation of the first part 330a does not cause the second part 330b to rotate about the pivot 34, or rather the second part 330b does not rotate as the first part 330a rotates. At this time, from the perspective of relative motion, the pin 339b of the second part 330b slides along an arc trajectory relative to the first part 330a in the arcuate groove 339a of the first part 330a. In other words, the push handle 320 is configured to be able to cause the second part 330b of the card moving member 330 to rotate in only one direction ( Figure 18 the clockwise direction in Figure 18 ), but not to cause the second part 330b of the card moving member 330 to rotate in the opposite direction (

[0092] such as Figure 17b 、 17c shown, Figure 17a the card moving member of Figure 20a may also be provided with a friction reducing device. The friction reducing device includes a groove 260 provided on the bottom of the card moving member 230, and rolling elements placed in the groove 260. The rolling elements may, for example, be in the form of balls 261. Similarly, in Figure 20a shown Figure 18A friction reduction device may also be provided on the second part of the card moving member. The friction reduction device includes a groove 360 provided at the bottom of the second part 330b of the card moving member, and rolling elements placed in the groove 360. The rolling elements may, for example, be in the form of ball bearings 361. As described above, by providing the above friction reduction device, the force required to push the card moving member is significantly reduced, enabling the user to more easily and smoothly push out the card.

[0093] Figure 15-2 One advantage of the embodiment shown in FIG. 0 is that when the force applied to the push handle is withdrawn, the spring only needs to provide a restoring force for returning the push handle from the second position to the first position, and does not need to provide a restoring force for returning the second end of the card moving member from the fourth position to the third position, thereby reducing the restoring force required by the spring. Figure 15-2 Another advantage of the embodiment shown in FIG. 0 is that when the push handle moves along the transverse through 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. Therefore, even when the card gets stuck, the spring can still return the push handle to its 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 push handle cannot return to the first position due to the card getting stuck.
