Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a card storage case for storing and protecting cards. More specifically, it can be used alone or attached to a mobile phone. The entrance and exit are always open, allowing cards to be inserted and removed immediately. It can prevent the stored cards from accidentally detaching, store multiple cards, and prevent other cards from being taken out when the top card among the stored cards is taken out.

Background Art

[0002] Modern people possess various cards such as credit cards and transportation cards. Also, mobile phones have become essential items in life, and it is common for mobile phone protective cases to be able to store cards.

[0003] In the "Wallet and Mobile Phone Case with Card Storage Structure" of Korean Registered Utility Model No. 20-0462099, the entrance and exit of the storage space where cards are stored is always open, and accidents often occur where cards detach from the storage space and get lost while carrying the mobile phone.

[0005] In the "Mobile Phone Case with Card Storage Space Part" of Korean Registered Utility Model No. 20-0479865 and the "Mobile Phone Case with Convenient Card Storage" of Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2022-0169574, the entrance and exit of the storage space where cards are stored is a closed structure, and there is the inconvenience that the entrance and exit must be opened first to insert and remove cards, and the entrance and exit must be closed after storing the cards.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0006] The present invention is made to solve the problems of the prior art. Its purpose is to provide a card storage case in which the entrance and exit of the storage space are always open, cards can be inserted and removed immediately without other operations, and even when the entrance and exit are open, the cards stored in the storage space do not accidentally fall out.

[0007] Another object of the present invention is to provide a card storage case that can store a plurality of cards in the storage space, and when taking out the top card from the stored cards, the cards arranged below it do not come out together.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0008] The card storage case according to the present invention for achieving the above object is composed of three side walls, an upper wall, and a lower wall, and includes a main body having an entrance and exit and a storage space, and a detachment prevention piece provided on the upper wall or the lower wall adjacent to the entrance and exit, which can be bent elastically, and a curved portion is formed at an end portion to prevent the cards stored in the storage space from detaching.

[0009] Also, a plurality of cards can be stored in the storage space. A drawing groove is provided on the upper wall so that the card can be pushed out with a finger. The lower wall is characterized in that a blocking protrusion is provided to support and block the cards other than the top card among the plurality of stored cards. The lower wall is characterized in that a push piece is provided to push the stored cards toward the upper wall side.

Effects of the Invention

[0010] The card storage case according to the present invention has an entrance and exit of the storage space always open, and cards can be taken in and out immediately. At this time, a detachment prevention piece is provided to prevent an accident in which the cards stored in the storage space unintentionally detach from the storage space. The storage space can store a plurality of cards. At this time, by supporting and blocking the card located under the top card with a blocking protrusion, when the top card is taken out, other cards are not taken out together. It is a device that is very useful for industrial development.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0012] As shown in the drawing, the card storage case according to the present invention includes a main body 10, a detachment prevention piece 20, a blocking protrusion 30, and a push piece 40.

[0013] The card storage case according to the present invention can be used alone or attached to a mobile phone as shown in FIG. 1. It can also be partially configured as a protective case for a mobile phone.

[0014] The main body 10 has a thin rectangular parallelepiped shape with one side open, that is, it is composed of three side walls 11, an upper wall 12, and a lower wall 13. A storage space 14 for storing cards is formed inside, and an entrance 15 communicating with the storage space 14 is provided on the side surface where the side wall 11 does not exist.

[0015] On the upper wall 12, a draw-out groove 16 is provided so that the card 1 stored in the storage space 14 can be taken out using a finger. The user can take out the card 1 by pressing the finger in the direction of the entrance / exit 15 while pressing the card 1 exposed in the draw-out groove 16 with the finger.

[0016] On the outer surface of the lower wall 13, a double-sided tape that can be attached to a mobile phone may be provided.

[0017] The main body 10 can be integrally formed as a whole. As shown in FIG. 3, after separately manufacturing the upper wall 12 and the lower wall 13, the upper wall 12 and the lower wall 13 can be assembled to form the main body 10. At this time, the three side walls 11 can be integrally formed on the inner edge of the upper wall 12, or the lower wall 13, or both the upper wall 12 and the lower wall 13.

[0018] The anti-detachment piece 20 is provided on the inner surface of the upper wall 12 or the lower wall 13 adjacent to the entrance / exit 15.

[0019] At the outer end of the anti-detachment piece 20, a curved portion 21 that closes the corner of the card 1 stored in the storage space 14 is formed. And the inner end of the anti-detachment piece 20 is fixed to the inner surface of the upper wall 12 or the lower wall 13 and has elasticity so that it can bend.

[0020] The end of the curved portion 21 of the anti-detachment piece 20 is rounded, and the corner of the card 1 is also generally rounded. Therefore, when the card 1 is pushed into the entrance / exit 15, the anti-detachment piece 20 can be temporarily bent inward. However, since the end of the curved portion 21 and the card 1 are rounded, finally, it bends outward and expands, so that the card 1 passes through the entrance / exit 15 without being obstructed by the anti-detachment piece 20 and is stored in the storage space 14.

[0021] In the storage space 14 of the main body 10, a plurality of cards 1 can be stored. Considering that when the thickness of the main body 10 increases, it becomes inconvenient to use and the risk of being exposed to low external impacts and getting damaged increases, it is preferable that 2 or 3 cards 1 can be stored in the storage space 14.

[0022] The blocking protrusion 30 protrudes from the inner surface of the lower wall 13 adjacent to the entrance / exit 15. The blocking protrusion 30 may be hemispherical or triangular with an inclined surface.

[0023] The blocking protrusion 30 supports and blocks the ends of the remaining cards 1 except the top card 1 among the plurality of cards 1 stored in the storage space 14. Therefore, when the user presses and takes out the top card 1 through the extraction groove 16, the cards 1 located below it are blocked by the blocking protrusion 30 and are not taken out together.

[0024] The push piece 40 is provided on the lower wall 13 and has elasticity, so it pushes the card 1 stored in the storage space 14 upward. Therefore, when one card 1 is stored in the storage space 14, that card 1 is moved upward, and when a plurality of cards 1 are stored in the storage space 14, the top card 1 is moved upward so that it does not come into contact with the blocking protrusion 30, ensuring that the top card 1 is not obstructed by the blocking protrusion 30 when it is taken out.

[0025] In the above description of the present invention, a card storage case with a specific shape and structure has been described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention can be variously modified and changed by those skilled in the art, and such modifications and changes should also be construed as belonging to the protection scope of the present invention.
