Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a card holder for accommodating at least one card, in particular a card corresponding to the credit card format. Background Art

[0002] Corresponding card holders are devices sometimes also referred to as wallets or card wallets, which are known in principle from the prior art. In known card holders, a linear actuation movement usually enables the cards accommodated in the card holder to be removed in a linear manner. A disadvantage in this case is that a manually performed linear actuation movement is not ergonomic. Summary of the invention

[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a card holder for accommodating at least one card, in particular a card corresponding to the credit card format, which card holder enables comfortable and simple use by the user and furthermore offers additional functionalities of use.

[0004] This object is achieved by a card holder for accommodating at least one card according to claim 1 , the dependent claims relating to possible embodiments of the card holder.

[0005] The invention relates to a card holder for accommodating at least one card, in particular a card of a standardized format, such as a credit card format, the card holder comprising a accommodating device having a accommodating opening and an interior, wherein at least one card can be accommodated in the interior via the accommodating opening, in particular completely accommodated in the interior. The interior of the card holder can be designed, for example, in such a way that at least two cards, preferably at least four cards, particularly preferably at least seven cards can be accommodated, wherein in particular the cards have the format of a credit card. The cards accommodated in the interior can directly contact adjacent cards, so that it is not necessary to provide an accommodating pocket for accommodating the respective card in the interior, which leads to better utilization of the interior space and / or more cards can be accommodated in the interior than if an accommodating pocket for accommodating one card is provided or formed in the interior in each case. Optionally, the accommodating opening can be dimensioned in such a way that at least two, preferably at least four, particularly preferably at least six, most preferably at least seven cards can be moved through the accommodating opening simultaneously. For example, all cards located in the interior can be introduced or removed at least partially through the accommodating opening simultaneously or in a temporarily offset manner.

[0006] In addition, the card holder comprises at least one ejection device, which is arranged inside and is mounted to be rotatable around an axis, in particular indirectly or directly around an axis. In other words, the ejection device is mounted on the card holder, in particular on the receiving device of the card holder, in such a way that the ejection device at least partially, preferably mostly, and particularly preferably only performs a rotational movement around at least one axis. In this case, the ejection device can, for example, be mounted to be rotatable around a single axis. Optionally, the ejection device can perform a movement performed at least partially around a first rotation axis and at least partially around a second rotation axis. The ejection device can, for example, also perform a movement comprising a translational and rotational movement component, which can be achieved, for example, by means of a slotted guide. At least one rotation axis, in particular a single rotation axis, can be configured perpendicularly to the (in particular linear) insertion and / or removal direction of at least one card received inside the receiving device, and the actuating device can be twisted relative to the receiving device around this rotation axis. According to the accompanying drawings, the insertion and / or removal movement of the card is performed along the Y axis, wherein the rotation axis extends along the Z axis or rotates around the Z axis oriented perpendicular to the Y axis. Thus, the groove of the front element, in particular the edge defining the groove of the front element, can be formed at least partially, preferably mostly, particularly preferably completely as a guide or slotted guide for a part of the actuating device and / or the ejection device arranged in the groove. In particular, at least one boundary edge of the groove can form a stop, in particular an end stop, for a part of the actuating device and / or the ejection device moved in the groove.

[0007] Furthermore, the card holder comprises at least one actuating device, which is connected to the ejection device, in particular kinematically coupled and mounted to be rotatable about an axis, wherein, by performing an actuating movement of the actuating device relative to the receiving device from an initial position to an output position, at least one card arranged in the receiving device can be at least partially removed from the interior via the receiving opening. The actuating device forms, for example, a gripping point or a contact point, on which at least one finger of a person rests, while the person applies pressure on the actuating device to perform the actuating movement. The actuating movement of the actuating device relative to the receiving device, which is initiated by the person by muscle power, leads to a forced movement of the ejection device for removing at least one card from the interior of the receiving device. For example, by manually introducing a force on the actuating device, the device is rotated relative to the receiving device about the axis. During said rotational movement of the actuating device about the axis, a rotational movement of the ejection device occurs due to the kinematic coupling or coupled kinematic connection of the ejection device and the actuating device, in particular a rotational movement about the same (rotational) axis. The rotational movement of the ejection device causes the application of a compressive force, in particular a compressive force is applied directly through the ejection device on at least one card accommodated or stored inside, so that the card performs a linear movement inside and is then guided out of the interior and, in the process, at least partially guided out of the accommodation opening.

[0008] Preferably, the ejection device is fixed relative to the actuating device in a fixed manner. In other words, the ejection device cannot perform a relative movement relative to the actuating device and / or the ejection device can form a rigid connection with the actuating device. Preferably, the ejection device is connected to the actuating device in a torsionally fixed manner. To this end, the ejection device can be fastened to the actuating device, for example, by two fastening elements, for example two screws.

[0009] The receiving device can have a prismatic basic shape, in particular a cubic basic shape, and the actuating device can be designed as a planar body, wherein the size of the main extension surface of the actuating device corresponds to at least 35%, preferably at least 50%, particularly preferably at least 75%, most preferably at least 85%, and more preferably completely, of the size of the main extension surface of the receiving device. In other words, the planar or elongated extension of the actuating device and the receiving device can be matched to each other in such a way that the actuating device covers the side surface of the receiving device by at least 35%, preferably at least 50%, particularly preferably at least 75%, most preferably at least 85%, and more preferably completely. For example, the main extension plane and / or the main extension surface of the actuating device are arranged or oriented parallel to the main extension plane and / or the main extension surface of the receiving device.

[0010] It is possible that (a) the actuating device in the initial position, in particular in the rest position, is arranged to be largely, preferably completely, in line with the main extension surface of the receiving device and / or (b) the actuating device in the output position at least partially protrudes beyond the main extension surface of the receiving device. Due to the temporary overhang of the actuating device in the state of the output position, the user of the card holder or a third party observing the card holder can clearly and unambiguously detect the output position state optically and / or tactilely due to the increase in the surface area of ​​the card holder. Therefore, for the user of the card holder, this state can be clearly and unambiguously perceived tactilely. In the initial state or the rest state, the card holder has a more compact form than in the output position state.

[0011] In an alternative embodiment, it can be provided that the actuating device in at least one position pivoted out of the initial position, in particular the rest position, relative to the receiving device, preferably in the output position, particularly preferably in the end state position reached in the end state of the actuating movement, protrudes beyond the main extension surface of the receiving device, wherein in this case the surface portion of the main extension surface of the actuating device protruding beyond the main extension surface of the receiving device is substantially trapezoidal. The protruding surface portion of the main extension surface of the actuating device may have said trapezoidal shape at least after executing at least 40%, preferably at least 50%, particularly preferably at least 75%, most preferably at least 85%, more preferably at least 95% of the maximum possible movement path from the initial position to the end state position. In other words, in this embodiment, the upward pivoting movement of the actuating device is limited by the stop, wherein the maximum movement path extends from the initial position, in which the actuating device overlaps with the receiving device, to the output position. In this embodiment, the trapezoidal shape presented by the protruding surface portion of the actuating device is such that it comprises two opposite sides oriented parallel to each other and two further opposite non-parallel sides. In other words, the trapezoidal shape forms a plan basic shape of a quadrilateral with four sides, wherein a first pair of sides are oriented parallel to one another and the other pair of sides are oriented non-parallel to one another. Alternatively or additionally, the protruding surface portion of the actuating device can be shaped such that it forms a quadrilateral having a right angle between one side and the respective adjacent side and having a non-right angle (different from 90°) in each case at the corners of the transition from the respective adjacent side to the connecting side. The actuating device for temporarily forming a trapezoidal surface portion can have, for example, a rectangular or square basic shape, in particular with respect to its main extension surface.

[0012] The stop for limiting the maximum rotational movement of the actuator relative to the receiving device can, for example, comprise elastic means. For example, a contact counterpart for the stop for the rotational movement of the actuator relative to the receiving device can comprise an elastomer or a similar elastic material and / or be formed at least partially in a manner having elastic properties. For example, an elastic element can be formed on the intermediate element and / or the ejection device in order to allow a damped stop in the event of a maximum torsion of the actuator relative to the receiving device.

[0013] In an optional embodiment, the actuator can protrude beyond the main extension surface of the receiving device in at least one position rotated out of the initial position relative to the receiving device, i.e. in the output position, wherein the surface portion of the actuator that protrudes beyond the main extension surface of the receiving device in this case corresponds to at least 10%, preferably at least 20%, particularly preferably at least 35%, most preferably at least 50% of the main extension surface of the actuator. The protruding surface portion of the actuator and the main extension surface of the receiving device can, for example, each be located in a plane (in each case) perpendicular to the axis about which the actuator performs its rotational movement relative to the receiving device. The protruding surface portion under consideration is typically the protruding surface portion that is produced in the case of the maximum possible outward movement of the card and / or in the case of the maximum possible deflection or in the case of a twisting of the actuator and the receiving device.

[0014] The card holder can comprise a preloading device which preloads or pushes the actuating device into an initial position relative to the receiving device by a preloading force. Preferably, the preloading device is configured as a tension or compression spring and can thus form a spring preloading device. The preloading device allows a constantly defined position of the actuating device which is not manually actuated, regardless of whether a card is arranged inside. The preloading device can act on the actuating device indirectly or directly. The preloading device can act directly, i.e. by direct contact, on the ejection device or directly contacting the ejection device. For example, the preloading device can be fastened at one end to a part of the receiving device and at the other end to the ejection device, in particular directly in each case.

[0015] In another optional embodiment, the card holder can include a magnetic device, wherein the magnetic device moves or preloads or pushes the receiving device and the actuating device towards each other in at least one predetermined orientation due to magnetic forces. Preferably, the predetermined orientation of the receiving device and the actuating device achieved by the magnetic device corresponds to an initial position, or the element is moved or pushed to the position, i.e., for example, to a static position of the card holder. In the static position, there is usually no force generated by a person through direct contact with the card holder acting on the actuating device. For example, in order to achieve an initial position, in particular a static position, or in order to keep the actuating device and the receiving device in an initial position, in particular a static position, the magnetic device and the preloading device, in particular comprising a spring or a spring preloading device, act simultaneously, so that in order to move out of the initial position or the static position, an actuating force will be applied, which at least temporarily exceeds the holding force generated by the preloading device or the spring preloading device and the magnetic device. The magnetic device can, for example, include a magnet pair, which is respectively composed of two magnet elements. In this case, the first magnet element of the first magnet pair can in particular be arranged or formed directly in or on the actuating device, and the second magnet element of the first magnet pair can be arranged or formed in or on the receiving device.

[0016] The magnet device may comprise at least one pair of magnet elements, wherein a first magnet element of a first pair is arranged or formed on the actuating device and a second magnet element of a first pair associated with the first magnet element is arranged or formed on the receiving device. The magnet device preferably comprises another pair of magnet elements, wherein a third magnet element (associated with the second pair of magnet elements) is arranged or formed on the actuating device and a fourth magnet element associated with the third magnet element (associated with the second pair of magnet elements) is arranged or formed on the receiving device. In each case, the two pairs of magnet elements preload the receiving device and the actuating device in the same position and / or orientation, preferably preload the receiving device and the actuating device in their initial position, or push the receiving device and the actuating device to the same position and / or orientation. If the card holder comprises two pairs of magnet elements for preloading the actuating device and the receiving device to the same position, the two pairs of magnet elements may be arranged or formed on two opposite end regions of the actuating device. For example, the first pair can be arranged or formed on a first longitudinal and / or lateral end region of the elongated actuating device and / or the elongated receiving device, and the second pair can be arranged or formed on a longitudinal and / or lateral end region of the actuating device and / or the receiving device opposite to the first end region. Since the magnet elements are spaced apart from each other to such an extent, it is possible to achieve in an effective and clear manner that the position of the actuating device and the receiving device preloaded by the magnet pairs is maintained against external forces.

[0017] The magnet device and the preloading device (in particular the spring preloading device) can, for example, act on the actuator device and the receiving device in such a way that the actuator device and the receiving device reach and / or remain in an initial position, in particular a static position. In other words, two different action mechanisms (magnetic force or spring force) can be used to generate a resultant force, in particular a restoring force. The resultant force and / or the restoring force can, for example, act together on a target orientation or a target position of the actuator device and the receiving device. The static position generally refers to the position of the actuator device and the receiving device that is set or caused if no external force (i.e., for example, manual force) acts on the card holder.

[0018] The accommodating device can, for example, comprise a plate-shaped front element and a plate-shaped rear element, and an intermediate element, particularly a plane, arranged between the front element and the rear element, wherein the intermediate element is U-shaped and the interior is formed or defined by the intermediate element and the adjacent front element and the rear element. The front element and / or the rear element and / or the intermediate element can, for example, be formed as an integral element. For example, the front and / or rear element can be designed as a metal plate. The intermediate element can be formed as one or more parts. For example, the intermediate element can be produced in a preliminary forming or re-forming or machining manufacturing method at least in its basic shape, particularly preferably completely in its target shape. The intermediate element can, for example, be made of metal and can preferably be manufactured in a machining method and / or a casting method. Alternatively, the intermediate element can be formed of a plastic material and, for example, produced in the process of a plastic injection molding method.

[0019] At least one magnet element of the magnet device can be arranged, for example, at the free arm of the U-shaped intermediate element, for example, on or in the free arm. The first magnet element can be arranged, for example, at the first free arm, and the second magnet element can be arranged, for example, at the second free arm of the U-shaped intermediate element, for example, on or in it. For example, the accommodating device comprises a U-shaped frame body, wherein the frame body comprises two free arms and a connecting arm connecting the two free arms, and the two free arms are particularly oriented parallel to each other. Preferably (in each case) at least one magnet element is arranged or formed on at least one free arm, particularly preferably in each case arranged or formed on one free arm. At least one magnet element can be fastened to the accommodating device, in particular to the intermediate element on the accommodating device side, by means of force fit and / or form fit and / or integral connection. For example, at least one magnet element can be accommodated in the accommodating space of the intermediate element to form a clamping connection.

[0020] The receiving device can, for example, comprise a plate-shaped front element which is arranged or formed between the interior and the actuating device, wherein the actuating device in an initial position covers, in particular completely covers, a surface portion of the front element and when performing an actuating movement, the surface portion of the front element is at least partially exposed, preferably mostly exposed. In this case, the actuating device can be pivoted out relative to the front element so that a surface area of ​​the surface portion of the front element is exposed which corresponds to at least 10%, preferably at least 25%, particularly preferably at least 35%, most preferably at least 40%, and more preferably at least 50% of the surface area of ​​a credit card. The receiving device or its interior can be designed in such a way that, as a rule, in particular, a maximum of cards of credit card format can be accommodated.

[0021] The surface portion of the front element that is exposed in the actuated state can be used, for example, to make a note on the surface portion, for example with a pencil or other writing implement. The note is then covered by the actuating device in the initial position of the actuating device and is thus protected from mechanical influences or from mechanical contact with third-party objects. In this case, it may be advantageous if the exposed surface portion at least for the most part, preferably at least 75%, particularly preferably at least 85%, constitutes a closed, in particular flat surface. Thus, it is possible to make notes in a simple and comfortable manner.

[0022] Advantageously, the actuator can be held in at least one output position of the initial position, in particular the end state position of the maximum rotation, in the output position of the rotation by a clamping device against a preloading force generated by a preloading device, in particular a spring preloading device, which preloads the actuator into the initial position. Thus, in the state of the exposed surface portion, a locking or retention of this state can be provided, so that a note can be made on the exposed surface portion without having to apply an active reaction force against the preloading force. The clamping device can include a trigger mechanism that can be switched between a holding state and a release state so as to indirectly or directly hold the actuator in the output position and against the preloading force of the preloading device. Alternatively, the clamping device can be designed as a locking mechanism so that a predetermined locking force must be overcome in order to reach and / or remain in the position to be held or the holding position of the actuator. The locking mechanism or the clamping device can be formed by a holding structure that is arranged or formed on the actuator and / or on the ejection device and / or on the receiving device.

[0023] For example, a groove, in particular a single groove, can be formed in the front element and / or the rear element, in which groove a connection area on the actuator side for connecting the actuator to the ejection device is arranged and / or in which groove a connection area on the ejection device side for connecting the actuator to the ejection device is arranged. For example, the groove has the shape of at least one arc segment or the shape of at least one ring segment. In principle, the groove can be designed in the form or shape of a groove. In this case, the radial extension (width) of the arc segment or the ring segment from the center point of the (rotation) axis can essentially correspond to the radial extension of the connection area on the actuator side and / or on the ejection device side. For example, the extension width of the ring segment or the arc segment can be at most 150%, preferably 125%, particularly preferably 110%, most preferably 105% of the width extension of the connection area.

[0024] The ejection device can be connected to the receiving device in a supporting manner only via the actuating device. In this case, the connection of the ejection device to the receiving device via a preloading device, in particular via a spring preloading device or via any magnetic element cannot be understood as a supporting connection. The rotatable mounting of the ejection device can be realized only via a pivot bearing, which rotatably mounts the actuating device and the receiving device to each other. In addition, it is possible not to provide for the ejection device to be directly mounted on the receiving device, but for the ejection device to be connected to the receiving device only via the actuating device. In other words, the ejection device does not include a direct mounting point with the receiving device, but the ejection device is mounted via a pivot bearing, which in particular directly and rotatably connects the actuating device to the receiving device. The pivot bearing can be arranged or formed, for example, in the corner region of a receiving device having a prismatic basic shape, wherein the pivot bearing extends perpendicularly to the main extension plane of the receiving device. In this case, the pivot bearing can be arranged only in the surface region of the main extension plane of the prismatic basic shape, wherein the surface region is arranged within 25% of the length and width associated with the corner region, starting from the total length and total width of the receiving device.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the positive connection of the actuating device to the receiving device is realized only by the bearing pin and the engagement of the connection area and the ejection device in the groove of the front element and / or the rear element. In addition, the magnet device can optionally be used as a force-fit connection between the actuating device and the receiving device and / or as a preloading device between the ejection device and the receiving device.

[0026] The ejection device can, for example, comprise a stepped contact portion for contacting at least two cards accommodated in the interior, wherein, during the actuation movement, the stepped contact portion moves out at least two cards in a stepped manner. Thus, the stepped form of the contact portion results in a stepped arrangement of the cards pushed out of the interior using the ejection device. The stepped form of the contact portion or its steps can be designed to be uniform or non-uniform. Thus, for example, non-uniform steps can be achieved, wherein a single card is extracted from a spacing different from that of adjacent cards. For example, a card closer to the actuation device is lifted to a lesser extent than a card adjacent thereto. It can also be provided that the steps of a group of card positions and their corresponding ejection devices can be constructed in such a way that the cards of the card positions have a first removal length difference, and the removal length difference is at least 1.05 times, preferably 1.2 times, particularly preferably at least 1.5 times, most preferably at least 1.75 times, and more preferably at least 2.0 times greater than the removal length difference of two adjacent cards of the second group of card positions and their associated ejection devices.

[0027] The accommodating device can for example include a retaining device, which forms a force-fit connection between at least one card introduced into the interior and the accommodating device. The retaining device can include at least one elastic retaining element, which is connected to the accommodating device in a force-fit, integral and / or form-fit manner. Thus, for example, a first elastic retaining element can be arranged or formed on the first free U-shaped arm of the intermediate element, and a second elastic retaining element can be arranged or formed on the second free U-shaped arm of the intermediate element. Preferably, at least one free retaining element is closer to the free end of the free U-shaped arm than the magnetic element arranged at the same free U-shaped arm, particularly arranged in the same free U-shaped arm or on the same free U-shaped arm. Preferably, the retaining device can act on the card inserted into the interior of the accommodating device in such a way that even when the accommodating device is inverted, the card will not fall out or move out from the interior of the card holder due to gravity. The retaining device can preferably act directly on the card inserted into the interior in an integral or clamped manner.

[0028] For example, the holding device comprises at least one holding element, which contacts the card introduced into the interior at the long narrow side of the card. The card accommodated in the interior is preferably contacted by the holding elements on two opposite narrow sides, preferably on two opposite longitudinal narrow sides.

[0029] It can prove to be advantageous if the holding device comprises at least one pressing device which makes it possible to press at least one card accommodated in the interior against a longitudinal surface of the interior of the card holder. In particular, if the interior is not completely filled with cards, when the card is ejected by the ejection device, the card performs an evasive movement facing the side of the ejection device. By pressing the card accommodated in the interior against the longitudinal surface of the interior with the aid of the pressing device, such evasive movements of the card when the ejection device acts on the card are reduced or prevented. In other words, the pressing device can be designed to contact the card introduced into the interior indirectly or directly via a further card introduced into the interior by contact on a main extension surface of at least one card and to move or hold said card in a defined position in the interior.

[0030] Optionally, the card holder can include a closing device, which includes at least one closing element, which can be moved between a closed position, which at least partially closes the receiving opening, and a release position, which releases the receiving opening. The internal opening can be closed by the closing device, thereby preventing the cards, in particular cards in the form of credit cards or similar cards, which are accommodated in the interior space from being accidentally removed. The closing element can be linearly movable and / or rotatably mounted on the receiving device, and / or at least one closing device can perform a rotational and / or linear movement in order to reach the release position and / or to reach the closed position. The closing device can be arranged or formed, in particular rotatably mounted, for example on a part of the front and / or rear element of the receiving device that faces the receiving opening.

[0031] The card holder can have, for example, a rectangular bottom surface, wherein the form-fit connection of the actuator and the receiving device is formed or arranged only at the corner area of ​​the rectangular bottom surface, and the actuator and the receiving device together form a separation gap. In other words, the actuator is connected to the receiving device indirectly or directly only via a connection point or a rotary joint in a form-fitting manner, wherein any other connection of the actuator to other components of the card holder can be achieved via a force-fit connection, for example by means of magnetic force. This makes it possible to place a piece of paper or another planar element in the separation gap (gap space) between the actuator and the receiving device, in particular between the actuator and the front disk or front plate of the receiving device facing the actuator. For example, a banknote or another piece of paper, such as a business card, can be placed in the gap space or clamped in the gap space area by magnetic force, which attracts the actuator to the receiving device in the gap space area. Since the gap space has an interfering geometric structure only in one (single) corner area, or the gap space extends to one (single) corner area, there is a correspondingly large holding space for clamping or holding the planar element in the gap space. Larger gaps or gap spaces also allow for a greater number of entry options for sliding the planar element into the gap space. The gap space or separation gap can extend over at least 50%, preferably at least 75%, particularly preferably at least 85%, most preferably at least 90% of the main extension surface of the receiving device and / or the actuating device.

[0032] It is possible to form a receiving pocket with a pocket receiving opening for receiving a card on the outside of the actuating device and / or on the outside of the receiving device away from the actuating device, wherein the receiving pocket comprises at least one engagement opening. The card received in the receiving pocket can be contacted through the engagement opening, preferably, the edge of the card located in the receiving pocket can be contacted with at least one finger through the engagement opening, or the card can be pushed out of the receiving pocket by manually applying pressure on the card, in particular on the edge of the card, through the engagement opening. The at least one engagement opening is formed, for example, in a corner region of the card holder, in which the axis for the rotational movement of the actuating device relative to the receiving device is arranged. Alternatively or additionally, at least one engagement opening can be formed in a corner region of the card holder. In the initial position of the card holder, the corner region is arranged on the side opposite to the receiving opening of the receiving device and on the side of the main extension surface of the card holder opposite to the axis, in particular on the short side. Alternatively or additionally, at least one engagement opening can be formed on a side region of the card holder, which in the initial position of the card holder is arranged on the side opposite to the receiving opening of the receiving device.

[0033] In other words, the receiving pocket can be arranged or formed at the main extension surface of the actuating device and / or at the main extension surface of the receiving device. The receiving pocket can be designed, for example, so that it is configured to receive coins and / or to receive a conveying device (e.g., AirTag) and / or to receive at least one card. For example, the receiving pocket is configured or has a corresponding size for receiving at least one card, preferably a single card, such as a card of credit card size or similar card size. At least one receiving pocket can be arranged or formed in a manner arranged on the main extension surface of the receiving device and / or on the main extension surface of the actuating device. Optionally, a coupling opening can be formed on the outer skin of the receiving bag or on the bag cap of the receiving bag, which opening enables the card inserted into the receiving bag to be pushed out in the direction of the bag receiving opening by direct contact via the coupling opening. In other words, the coupling opening forms an opening through which, in addition to the bag receiving opening through which the card can be inserted into and taken out of the receiving bag, the interior of the receiving bag can also be entered from the outside. However, the size of at least one coupling opening is designed so that a card, in particular a card of credit card size or EC card size, cannot be guided through. The bag receiving opening forms a single opening of the receiving bag in order to receive the card at least partially inside the receiving bag. The engagement opening can be designed such that in the state when the card is inserted as intended into the receiving bag, in particular a card corresponding to the size of a credit card, the card is visible from the outside through the engagement opening. Preferably, in the state in which the card, in particular a card corresponding to the size of a credit card, is completely inserted into the receiving bag, the edge of the card is exposed or freely accessible via the engagement opening, so that by exerting pressure on said edge of the card, in particular directly exerting pressure, in particular manually generated by a finger, the card can be pushed out of the through-opening.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the engagement opening can be arranged or formed in a corner region and / or in a middle region of a receiving pocket having a rectangular basic shape. Preferably, the engagement opening is arranged or formed at an end region of the receiving pocket opposite to the bag receiving opening, in particular at a corner region or a central region. In a particularly preferred embodiment, it can be provided that at least one engagement opening is provided in a corner region of the receiving recess, in which a pivot is also provided, and thereby pressure can be advantageously introduced from the outside in the direction of the center of the card holder, in particular pressure introduced parallel to the main extension plane of the actuating device, without or hardly any deviation movement of the actuating device around the pivot. In other words, the fact that the pivot and the at least one ejection opening are located in the same corner region means that when pressure is applied to the card arranged in the receiving pocket through the engagement opening, a relative twisting of the actuating device and the receiving device can be prevented or at least kept low.

[0035] It is possible that the slip agent is at least partially, preferably mostly, particularly preferably completely (a) arranged or formed at the surface of the front plate facing the actuator, in particular on it, and / or (b) arranged or formed at the area of ​​the connecting device (e.g., a screw head) connecting the front plate to the body facing the actuator, in particular on it, and / or (c) arranged or formed at the surface of the actuator facing the front plate and / or the body, in particular on it. During the relative movement of the actuator and the front plate or when the front plate and the receiving device perform an actuation movement, the slip agent can be used to achieve smooth travel and / or prevent scratches caused by the contact surface of the actuator and the receiving device, in particular the front plate. For example, the coating and / or film is arranged on the side of the actuator facing the receiving device and / or on the side of the receiving device (in particular the front plate) facing the actuator. For example, the slip agent can be fastened to the actuator and / or the receiving device, in particular to the front plate and / or the connecting device, in a force-fitting and / or form-fitting and / or integral manner. For example, at least or only the surface portion of the actuating device is at least partially, preferably mostly, particularly preferably completely provided with a slip agent, which during the maximum actuation movement remains overlapping with the receiving device or does not protrude beyond the limit of the receiving device. The slip agent can be formed by a plastic material, in particular by a thermoplastic material and / or by a polyester, or comprises such a material. For example, the slip agent is made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or contains it as a component. In particular, a PET foil can be used. This can be adhesively bonded to the surface of the actuating device and / or the surface of the receiving device. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0049] In the figure, an embodiment of a card holder 1 (in particular a (card) wallet) for accommodating or receiving at least one card 2, 2' (in particular a card 2, 2' corresponding to credit card specifications) is shown. The card holder 1 comprises a receiving device 3 having a receiving opening 4 and an interior 5, wherein at least one card 2, 2' can be accommodated in the interior 5 (in particular completely accommodated) through the receiving opening 4. To this end, the interior 5 can form a cubic cavity, which can be adapted to the size of the card to be accommodated, in particular to the shape of a credit card, EC card or similar card. At least one ejection device 7 is arranged to be mounted in the interior 5 in a manner that is indirectly or directly rotatable around an axis 6. For example, in Figure 4 and Figure 5 The ejection device 7 visible in the drawing can be designed in the form of a rotatably mounted finger which, in the event of actuation of the actuation device 8, is at least partially moved or pushed out of the interior 5 by direct contact with a card arranged in the interior 5.

[0050] The card holder 1 comprises at least one actuating device 8 which is connected to the ejection device 7 in a kinematically coupled manner and is mounted so as to be rotatable about the axis 6. The actuating device 8 can be designed as a handle or as an element which can be directly actuated by the user of the card holder by muscle power and can therefore in particular be directly contactable. By performing an actuating movement 9 (e.g. Figure 1 ), at least one card 2 , 2 ′ arranged in the receiving device 3 (in particular all cards 2 , 2 ′ stored in the interior 5 ) is at least partially moved out of the interior 5 via the receiving opening 4 .

[0051] The receiving device 3 can, for example, have a prismatic basic shape, in particular a cuboid basic shape, and the actuating device 8 can, for example, be designed as a planar body, wherein the main extension surfaces 12, 13 of the actuating device 8 have dimensions that correspond at least to the dimensions of the main extension surface 12 of the receiving device 3, preferably at least to 35%, preferably at least to 50%, particularly preferably at least to 75%, most preferably at least to 85%, and even more preferably completely to the dimensions of the main extension surface 12 of the receiving device 3. In other words, the actuating device 8 has dimensions, in particular a maximum planar extension, that substantially correspond to the dimensions of the receiving device 3, in particular the maximum planar extension.

[0052] For example, from Figure 2 As can be seen in FIG. 1 , the actuator 8 can be arranged to be substantially consistent (preferably completely consistent) with the main extension surface 12 of the receiving device 3 in the initial position 10 (especially in the rest position). The actuator 8 can also at least partially protrude beyond the main extension surface 12 of the receiving device 3 in the output position 11, see Figure 3 . The exposed surface area of ​​the receiving device 3 when the actuating device 8 has been pivoted away or out can be used as a note surface, for example for taking a note with a pencil. When the actuating device 8 is pivoted back to its initial position, the note is protected from mechanical influences by arranging the actuating device 8 on the note. As an alternative or in addition, the note can be made on the rear side of the planar actuating device 8 and for this purpose on the surface of the actuating device 8 that protrudes beyond the main extension surface 12 of the receiving device 3. When the actuating device 8 is pivoted back to its initial position, the receiving device 3 conceals or protects the note.

[0053] The actuating device 8 can be held in the swung-out output position 11 in at least one output position 11 of the swung-out initial position 10 (in particular in the end state position of the maximum swung-out position), for example by means of a clamping device (not shown) against a preloading force generated by a preloading device 14 (in particular a spring preloading device), which preloads the actuating device 8 into the initial position 10. For example, the ejection device 7 and / or the actuating device 8 and / or the receiving device 3 (in particular the intermediate element 20) include a locking structure (not shown) that allows the actuating device 8 to be held in a locked manner in at least one predetermined rotational position of the actuating device 8 relative to the receiving device 3.

[0054] The actuating device 8 can protrude beyond the main extension surface 12 of the receiving device 3, for example in at least one position pivoted out of the initial position 10, in particular the rest position, relative to the receiving device 3, preferably in the output position 11, particularly preferably in the position achieved in the end state of the actuating movement 9, wherein in this case the surface portion 24 of the actuating device 8 protruding beyond the main extension surface 12 of the receiving device 3 corresponds to at least 10%, preferably at least 20%, particularly preferably at least 35%, most preferably at least 50% of the main extension surface 13 of the actuating device 8. During its protrusion, the protruding surface portion 24 of the actuating device 8 on its surface facing the receiving device 3 can be written.

[0055] Alternatively or additionally, the surface can be used for arrangement documentation, since the portion is not visible in the initial position of the actuating device 8 .

[0056] Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 Each shows a preloading device 14 (in particular a spring preloading device), which preloads the actuating device 8 relative to the receiving device 3 into an initial position 10 by means of a preloading force. To this end, the preloading device 14 (in particular a spring preloading device) is fastened at one end to the receiving device 3, in particular to a fastening element 27 (for example a hook) of the intermediate element 20, and at the other end to a fastening element 28 (for example a hook) on the ejection device 7 and / or the actuating device 8.

[0057] Furthermore, the card holder 1 optionally comprises magnetic means 15, wherein the magnetic means 15 urges or preloads the receiving means 3 and the actuating means 8 in at least one predetermined orientation relative to each other due to magnetic forces. Said predetermined orientation of the receiving means 3 and the actuating means 8 preferably corresponds to the initial position 10.

[0058] The magnet arrangement 15 may, for example, comprise at least one pair of magnet elements 16, 16', 17, 17', wherein a first magnet element 16 is arranged or formed on the actuating device 8, and a second magnet element 16' associated with the first magnet element 16 is arranged or formed on the receiving device 3. The magnet arrangement 15 may optionally comprise another pair of magnet elements 17, 17', wherein a third magnet element 17 is arranged or formed on the actuating device 8, and a fourth magnet element 17' associated with the third magnet element 17 is arranged or formed on the receiving device 3. Figure 8 and Fig. 9 , the magnet elements 16, 16', 17, 17' are shown by way of example as elongated magnet elements 16, 16', 17, 17', wherein the first magnet element 16 is arranged or formed on a first long side of the actuating device 8, and the third magnet element 17 is arranged or formed on a long side of the actuating device 8 opposite to the first long side. The magnet elements 16, 17 are preferably fastened to the actuating device 8 in a force-fitting and / or integral and / or form-fitting manner. The accommodation device 3 comprises a second magnet element 16' associated with the first magnet element 16 on the first long side, and the accommodation device 3 also comprises a fourth magnet element 17' associated with the third magnet element 17 on the actuating device side on the second long side opposite to the first long side. The accommodation device 3 can, for example, comprise an accommodation space 33, in which the magnet elements 16, 17 on the accommodation device side can be at least partially, preferably completely, accommodated. For example, the magnet elements 16, 17 can be respectively received under the action of a clamping force in a receiving space 33 of the receiving device 3. The receiving device 3 can include an intermediate element 20, in particular designed in a U-shape, on which the magnet elements 16, 17 on the receiving device side are preferably arranged or formed directly.

[0059] The magnet device 15 and the preloading device 14 , in particular a spring preloading device, can preferably act on the actuating device 8 and the receiving device 3 in order to achieve and / or maintain the actuating device 8 and the receiving device 3 in an initial position 10 , in particular a rest position. Figure 4 The ejection device 7 is shown in an initial position 10 or rest position, and the actuation device 8 rigidly connected thereto to the ejection device 7. Preloading means 14, in particular spring preloading means, move the ejection device 7 into said position. Furthermore, in this position, the actuation device 8 and the magnet elements 16, 16', 17, 17' of the receiving device 3 are aligned, so that the magnetic force provides the preloading force, which also serves to maintain in this position due to the attractive force.

[0060] The receiving device 3 can, for example, comprise a plate-shaped or plate-shaped front element 18 and / or a plate-shaped or plate-shaped rear element 19, and an intermediate element 20, in particular a plane, arranged between the front element and / or the rear element 19, wherein the intermediate element 20 is U-shaped and the interior 5 is formed or delimited by the intermediate element 20 and the adjacent front element 18 and rear element 19. Thus, the receiving device 3 can have a sandwich-like structure, wherein the intermediate element 20 is delimited at its main extension surface by the front element 18 and the rear element 19. The intermediate element 20 can comprise an edge stop 34 designed as a protuberance, so that the front element 18 and / or the rear element 19 can abut against the edge stop 34. This facilitates the orientation and / or centering of the front element 18 and / or the rear element 19 relative to the intermediate element 20. The edge stop 34 can, for example, be flush with the end of the front element and / or the rear element in the final installed state. Thus, a step can be formed by the edge stop 34 , the step height of which (in the Z direction) corresponds essentially to the thickness or material thickness of the front element 18 and / or the rear element 19 , so that a flush finish is achieved in the final installed state.

[0061] The receiving device 3 can, for example, comprise a plate-shaped or planar front element 18, which is arranged or formed between the interior 5 and the actuating device 8, wherein the actuating device 8 covers (in particular completely covers) a surface portion 35 of the front element 18 in the initial position 10, and said surface portion 35 of the front element 18 is at least partially, preferably mostly, exposed when performing the actuating movement 9. Said surface portion 35 of the front element 18 is covered in the initial position 10 and said surface portion 35 exposed in the output position 11 can be used as a board or writing surface. Alternatively or additionally, a label or information applied in another way (for example by printing) can be arranged on the front element 18. Alternatively or additionally, the side of the actuating device 8 facing the front element 18 can be used as a board or writing surface and / or for arranging a label or information applied in another way (for example by printing).

[0062] A groove 21, which may be groove-shaped or slot-like, may be formed in the front element 19, in which groove a connection region 22 on the actuator side is arranged for connecting the actuator 8 to the ejection device 7, and / or in which groove a connection region 22 on the ejection side is arranged for connecting the actuator 8 to the ejection device 7. In the embodiment shown in the figures, the ejection device 7 comprises a protuberance 44 extending in the Z direction, i.e. perpendicularly to the main extension plane of the front element 19. The protuberance 44 forms a connection region 22 which, in the final mounted state, passes through the groove 21 and connects the ejection device 7 to the actuator 8. For this purpose, for example, two fastening elements 36 are used, which engage in the ejection device 7 from the outside via the actuator 8. For example, the fastening elements 36 at least partially engage through the groove of the actuator 8, are arranged at least partially in the connection region 22, and are connected to the protuberance 44 of the ejection device 7. The use of two fastening means 36 to fasten the ejection device 7 to the actuating device 8 enables a torsion-proof connection of the two connection partners. An axle body 37 can be fastened to the actuating device 8, in particular by press-fitting, which engages in an axle body receptacle 38 of the receiving device 3, in particular of the intermediate element 20, and is preferably rotatably mounted therein. In this case, the axle body 37 passes through a passage opening 39 of the front element 18 provided for the axle body 37.

[0063] The ejection device 7 is connected to the receiving device 3 in a supporting manner, for example only via the actuating device 8. The ejection device 7 is thus rotatably mounted on the receiving device 3 via the axle 37 mounted on the actuating device side and the axle receiver 38 mounted on the receiving device side.

[0064] The ejection device 7 may preferably comprise a stepped contact portion 23 for contacting at least two cards 2, 2' accommodated in the interior 5, wherein the stepped contact portion 23 causes the at least two cards 2, 2' to be moved out in a stepped manner during the actuation movement 9. To this end, during the actuation movement 9 of the ejection device 7, a first step of the stepped ejection device 7 is able to exert pressure on a first card 2 and move said card 2 out of the interior 5, and another step of the stepped ejection device 7 is able to exert pressure on another card 2' and move said card 2' out of the interior.

[0065] The receiving device 3 can, for example, comprise a retaining device 23 which forms a force-fitting connection between at least one card 2, 2' introduced into the interior 5 and the receiving device 3. In the embodiment of the card holder 1 shown in the figures, the retaining device 23 comprises two retaining means 40, 41. In each case, at least one retaining means 40, 41 can, for example, be arranged or formed at the receiving device 3, in particular arranged or formed in or on the receiving device 3 in such a way that the card 2, 2' located in the interior 5 is in each case acted upon by at least one retaining means 40, 41 on its opposite narrow side (surface extending in the ZY plane). At least one retaining means 40, 41 can be fastened to the receiving device 3, in particular to the intermediate element 20, in a force-fitting and / or integral and / or form-fitting manner. Preferably, at least one retaining means 40, 41 comprises a groove 42, into which a pin 43 on the receiving device side engages and thus forms a form-fitting connection between the retaining means 40, 41 and the receiving device 3, see Figure 8 Alternatively or additionally, the pin body may also be arranged or formed on the retaining means 40 , 41 , and a corresponding groove for receiving the pin body may be arranged or formed on the receiving device 3 .

[0066] The card holder 1 may comprise at least one closing device (not shown), wherein the closing device can be designed such that a closing element (not shown) can be moved from a closed position, which at least partially closes the receiving opening 4, into a release position, which releases the receiving opening 4. For example, the closing device can be fixed in the release position or in the closed position, or can be movably mounted by a locking mechanism, such that the release position and / or the closed position can only be left after a defined holding force has been overcome.

[0067] As can be seen from the figure, the card holder 1 can, for example, have a rectangular bottom surface, wherein the shape-fitting connection between the actuator 8 and the receiving device 3 is formed only at the corner area 25 of the rectangular bottom surface, and the actuator 8 and the receiving device 3 together form a separation gap 26. In other words, the rotatable installation for rotatably mounting the actuator 8 on the receiving device 3 can be arranged in the corner area 25 of the card holder 1, in particular in the corner area 25 of the receiving device 3. Preferably, the corner area 25 is arranged or formed in the corner within the rectangular basic shape formed in the XY plane. In all embodiments, the pivot or axis 6 (in particular the pivot or axis 6 about which the rotational movement of the actuator 8 relative to the receiving device 3 is oriented parallel to the Z direction and therefore perpendicular to the XY plane.

[0068] exist Fig.11, a separation gap 26 or gap space formed between the receiving device 3 and the actuating device 8 is visible. For example, a piece of paper or another planar element (e.g. a banknote) can be placed in the separation gap 26 between the actuating device 8 and a front element 18 (e.g. a front disk or a front plate) facing the actuating device 8. The planar element arranged in the separation gap 26 is held in a clamping manner by the magnetic attraction of the magnet arrangement 15, since the magnet arrangement 15 attracts the actuating device 8 to the receiving device 3. The separation gap 26 can extend over at least 50%, preferably at least 75%, particularly preferably at least 85%, most preferably at least 90% of the main extension surface of the receiving device 3 and / or the actuating device 8. As Fig.12 As shown, it is particularly advantageous if the interference geometry 50 interrupting the separation gap 26 is only located in the end half, preferably in the end third, particularly preferably in the end quarter, most preferably in the end sixth, more preferably in the end eighth, and most preferably in the end tenth of the longitudinal extension of the card holder 1 (in the Y direction). As an alternative or in addition, it can be provided that the interference geometry 50 interrupting the separation gap 26 is only located in the end half, preferably in the end third, particularly preferably in the end quarter, and most preferably in the end sixth of the width extension of the card holder 1 (in the X direction). Thus, a separation gap 26 is achieved that is accessible from multiple sides and at the same time has a large continuous surface area. The interference geometry 50 is formed, for example, by the shaft body 37 forming the rotation axis 6 and / or by the region of the actuating device 8 and / or the ejection device 7 that passes through the groove 21. For example, the rotation axis 6 can be located at one-third of the end of the longitudinal and / or width extension (a) of the card holder 1 or the accommodating device 4 and / or the longitudinal and / or width extension (b) of the actuating device 8, preferably at one-quarter of the end, particularly preferably at one-sixth of the end, most preferably at one-eighth of the end, and even more preferably at one-tenth of the end.

[0069] Fig.10 and Fig.11 An embodiment of a card holder 1 is shown, which is designed to have a receiving pocket 45 on the outside of the actuating device 8 and / or on the outside of the receiving device 3 away from the actuating device 8, and the receiving pocket 45 has a pocket receiving opening 46 for receiving the card 2. The receiving pocket 45 comprises at least one engagement opening 47, 48, 49, through which the card 2, 2' which is at least completely inserted into the receiving pocket 45 as intended and is received therein can be accessed. Fig.11As shown, at least one engagement opening 47 can be formed in the corner region 25 of the card holder 1, in which the shaft 6 for the rotational movement of the actuating device 8 relative to the receiving device 3 is arranged. Furthermore, alternatively or additionally, an engagement opening 48 can be formed in a corner region 51 of the card holder 1, which is arranged on the side opposite to the receiving opening 4 of the receiving device 3 and on the side opposite to the shaft 6 in the initial position 10 of the card holder 1, in particular on the short side of the card holder 1, see Fig.11 Alternatively, the engagement opening 49 can be arranged or formed in a side region 52 of the card holder 1 which, in the initial position 10 of the card holder 1 , is located on the side opposite to the receiving opening 4 of the receiving device 3 .
