TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure belongs to the field of card holders, and in particular to a card holder. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the advent of the information age, the way people conduct transactions has also undergone significant changes. Compared with cash transactions, card-based transaction methods, such as bank cards, shopping cards, IC cards, and the like, are simpler, faster, and safer. Therefore, people usually carry various cards when going out to meet their consumption needs of daily life.
[0003] Since different types of consumption may require different kinds of cards, the increasing number of cards has resulted in the problem of inconvenient carrying and storage of the cards. Consequently, card holders emerged accordingly to solve this problem.
[0004] However, existing card holders usually include a housing and a leather flap. The housing is usually provided with an inner cavity for accommodating cards and an opening through which cards are inserted and removed. After the cards are inserted into the inner cavity through the opening, the opening is then closed by the leather flap to prevent the cards from falling out. When in use, a user needs to open the leather flap and then insert fingers into the inner cavity to locate the desired card, or directly pour out all the cards for searching. Therefore, existing card holders are not only cumbersome to open and close, but also time-consuming and laborious when retrieving cards, thereby seriously affecting the user experience.

[0036] The technical solutions of embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below clearly and comprehensively in conjunction with accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0037] As shown in FIGS. 1-3, the present disclosure provides a card holder, including a housing 1. The housing 1 is internally provided with an accommodating cavity 11 for accommodating a card 2. An end of the housing 1 is provided with an accommodating opening 12, and the accommodating opening 12 is in communication with the accommodating cavity 11, enabling the card 2 to enter and exit the accommodating cavity 11 through the accommodating opening 12. The accommodating cavity 11 is provided with a placement portion 113 for placing the card 2 and a driving portion 114 arranged on a side of the placement portion 113. A pushing assembly 3 is slidably connected within the driving portion 114, and the pushing assembly 3 is movable between a first position and a second position. During use, when the pushing assembly 3 is driven to move in a direction away from the accommodating opening 12 and reaches the first position, the pushing assembly 3 pushes the card 2 and cause at least a portion of the card 2 to be pushed out from the accommodating opening 12. When the pushing assembly 3 is driven to move toward the accommodating opening 12 and reaches the second position, the card 2 is accommodated within the accommodating cavity 11; and
[0038] as shown in FIG. 3, a left view illustrates a use state in which the pushing assembly 3 is located at the first position, and a right view illustrates a use state in which the pushing assembly 3 is located at the second position.
[0039] Specifically, a card latch 4 for locking the card 2 within the accommodating cavity 11 is further provided at the accommodating opening 12. The card latch 4 is movably connected to the housing 1. When the pushing assembly 3 is located at the second position, the card latch 4 abuts against the card 2 and locks the card 2 within the accommodating cavity 11. When the pushing assembly 3 is located at the first position, the card latch 4 is disengaged from the card 2 and allows the card 2 to be pushed out from the accommodating opening 12; and
[0040] compared with the card holder technology in the prior art, the present disclosure, through the configuration of the card latch 4, enables the card 2 to be firmly locked within the accommodating cavity 11, thereby preventing the card 2 from falling out, and eliminating the cumbersome step of opening and closing a leather flap by the user. When the pushing assembly 3 is driven to push the card 2 out, the card latch 4 automatically moves and allows the card 2 to be pushed out from the accommodating opening. A structure of the card latch 4 is simple, which is beneficial for rapid assembly and production of the card holder.
[0041] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, one end of the card latch 4 is hingedly connected to the housing 1, and the other end of the card latch 4 is provided with a latch hook 42, such that the latch hook 42 can rotate about a hinged end of the card latch 4 as a rotation center to move toward and away from the card 2. A protrusion 41 is further provided on a side of the card latch 4 corresponding to the pushing assembly 3. When the pushing assembly 3 is located at the second position, an end of the pushing assembly 3 abuts against the protrusion 41 and pushes the card latch 4 to rotate, such that the latch hook 42 abuts against and locks the card 2. When the pushing assembly 3 is located at the first position, the pushing assembly 3 moves in the direction away from the accommodating opening 12 and is disengaged from the protrusion 41. Since the protrusion 41 in the card latch 4 loses support, when the card 2 is pushed out, the card latch 4 may be pushed open to realize the pushing out of the card 2;
[0042] in another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the housing 1 is provided with an arc-shaped latch groove 13; one end of the latch groove 13 is in communication with the placement portion 113, and the other end thereof is in communication with the driving portion 114. The card latch 4 is slidably connected within the latch groove 13, and an end of the card latch 4 near the placement portion 113 is provided with the latch hook 42. Specifically, a width of the latch groove 13 gradually narrows from an end near the driving portion 114 toward an end near the placement portion 113, and a diameter of the card latch 4 also gradually decreases from the end near the driving portion 114 toward the latch hook 42. Moreover, a diameter of the end of the card latch 4 near the driving portion 114 is greater than a width of an end of the latch groove 13 in communication with the placement portion 113, such that at least a portion of the card latch 4 can slide out of the latch groove 13 and approach the card 2, while at least a portion thereof remains engaged within the latch groove 13;
[0043] therefore, when the pushing assembly 3 is located at the second position, the end of the pushing assembly 3 pushes the card latch 4 to slide in a direction toward the accommodating opening 12 and at least partially extend out of the latch groove 13, such that the latch hook 42 abuts against and locks the card 2. When the pushing assembly 3 is located at the first position, the card 2 is pushed out and the card latch 4 is pushed open, thereby pushing out of the card 2; and
[0044] further, since the latch groove 13 is of an arc-shaped structure, the sliding of the card latch 4 requires a change of direction. In this embodiment, an end of the card latch 4 near the pushing assembly 3 is hingedly connected to the pushing assembly 3, such that the card latch 4 can change direction following a curvature of the latch groove 13 when the pushing assembly 3 pushes the card latch 4 to slide toward the card 2. In addition, when the pushing assembly 3 moves toward the first position, the card latch 4 can be driven to retract, thereby realizing linkage between the locking and unlocking of the card latch 4 and the movement of the pushing assembly 3.
[0045] It should be noted that the above two embodiments are only two specific structures for locking and unlocking the card 2 by the card latch 4. However, the methods of locking and unlocking are diverse. Provided that the same locking and unlocking functional effects are achieved, other locking and unlocking structures should also fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0046] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the pushing assembly 3 includes a push rod 31 and a swing arm 32. The push rod 31 has a first pushing end 311 and a second pushing end 312, and the first pushing end 311 is configured to push the card latch 4, and a longitudinal direction of the push rod 31 is parallel or approximately parallel to an opening direction of the accommodating opening 12. Therefore, when the pushing assembly 3 moves toward the first position, the push rod 31 moves in the direction away from the accommodating opening 12, and when the pushing assembly 3 moves toward the second position, the push rod 31 moves in a direction toward the accommodating opening 12;
[0047] the swing arm 32 has a first swinging end 321 and a second swinging end 322. The swing arm 32 is pivotally connected to the housing 1, with a pivot position located between the first swinging end 321 and the second swinging end 322. When the pushing assembly 3 is located at the second position, the card 2 is accommodated within the accommodating cavity 11, in which case, a longitudinal direction of the swing arm 32 is perpendicular or approximately perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the push rod 31, and the swing arm 32 is located at an end of the card 2 away from the accommodating opening 12. When the pushing assembly 3 moves toward the first position, the push rod 31 moves in the direction away from the accommodating opening 12, and the second pushing end 312 pushes the second swinging end 322 of the swing arm 32, driving them to swing in the direction away from the accommodating opening 12. Under the pivoting action of the swing arm 32, the swing arm 32 forms a lever, which causes the first swinging end 321 to swing in a direction toward the accommodating opening 12 and push the card 2 out;
[0048] when in use, the user only needs to drive the push rod 31 to move in a direction away from the accommodating opening 12. By pushing the second swinging end 322 of the swing arm 32 and leveraging the lever action of the swing arm 32, the first swinging end 321 of the swing arm 32 is caused to swing and push the card 2 out of the accommodating opening 12. The pushing assembly 3 consists of few components, facilitating assembly and production, and movement trajectories among the components are limited, which is beneficial to improving the service life and pushing stability of the pushing assembly 3; and
[0049] further, as shown in FIGS. 5-6, the first swinging end 321 is provided with a stepped structure 3211, and a height of the step structure 3211 gradually decreases from the second swinging end 322 toward the first swinging end 321. In practical use, a plurality of the cards 2 are arranged within accommodating cavity 11, in which case, ends of different cards 2 away from the accommodating opening 12 respectively abut against the step structures 3211 of different heights. Since the step structure 3211 are arranged in a stepped staggered manner, when the swing arm 32 pushes the card 2 out, distances by which the plurality of cards 2 are pushed out are also different, thereby enabling the plurality of cards 2 to be pushed out in a stepped staggered manner, such that the plurality of pushed-out cards 2 have portions that do not overlap with each other, facilitating easy identification of different cards 2 by the user. In addition, the non-overlapping portions also provide convenience for the user to take the cards. It can be seen that, through the configuration of the stepped structure 3211, the cumbersome steps in the prior art, where the user still needs to insert fingers into the accommodating cavity for selecting the desired card or pour out all the card for selecting one by one, are fundamentally solved.
[0050] Specifically, in order to improve the convenience for the user in using the card holder, the pushing assembly 3 of the present disclosure has an automatic reset effect. In one embodiment, a connecting base 111 is fixedly disposed within the accommodating cavity 11, and a connecting portion 5 is disposed on the push rod 31 or the swing arm 32. An elastic member 6 is disposed between the connecting base 111 and the connecting portion 5. One end of the elastic member 6 is connected to the connecting base 111, and the other end thereof is connected to the connecting portion 5. The elastic member 6 is configured to drive the pushing assembly 3 to be fixed at the second position, that is, to reset;
[0051] in one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the connecting portion 5 is disposed on the push rod 31, and the connecting portion 5 is located below the connecting base 111. One end of the elastic member 6 is fixedly connected to the connecting base 111, and the other end thereof is fixedly connected to the connecting portion 5. When the pushing assembly 3 moves toward the first position, the elastic member 6 is in a state of continuous stretching. When the pushing assembly 3 is not subjected to an external force, the elastic action of the elastic member 6 pulls the push rod 31 to move in the direction toward the accommodating opening 12, thereby enabling the pushing assembly 3 to reset in a direction toward the second position;
[0052] preferably, as shown in FIG. 8, the connecting base 111 may also be disposed below the connecting portion 5, and the elastic member 6 is elastically pressed between the connecting base 111 and the connecting portion 5. When the pushing assembly 3 moves toward the first position, the elastic member 6 is in a state of continuous compression. When the pushing assembly 3 is not subjected to an external force, the elastic action of the elastic member 6 pushes the push rod 31 to move in the direction toward the accommodating opening 12, thereby enabling the pushing assembly 3 to reset in the direction toward the second position;
[0053] in another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the connecting portion 5 is disposed on the swing arm 32, the connecting base 111 is arranged on an end wall of the accommodating cavity 11 away from the accommodating opening 12, an arrangement position of the connecting base 111 corresponds to the first swinging end 321 of the swing arm 32, and two ends of the elastic member 6 are fixedly connected to the connecting portion 5 and the connecting base 111, respectively. When the pushing assembly 3 moves toward the first position, the first swinging end 321 moves in the direction toward the accommodating opening 12, in which case, the elastic member 6 is in a state of continuous stretching. When the pushing assembly 3 is not subjected to an external force, the elastic action of the elastic member 6 pulls the first swinging end 321 to move in the direction away from the accommodating opening 12, thereby enabling the pushing assembly 3 to reset in the direction toward the second position;
[0054] preferably, as shown in FIG. 10, the connecting base 111 may also be arranged on the end wall of the accommodating cavity 11 corresponding to the second swinging end 322, and the elastic member 6 is elastically pressed between the connecting base 111 and the connecting portion 5, respectively. When the pushing assembly 3 moves toward the first position, the second swinging end 322 continuously compresses the elastic member 6. When the pushing assembly 3 is not subjected to an external force, the elastic action of the elastic member 6 pushes the second swinging end 322 to move in the direction toward the accommodating opening 12, thereby causing the pushing assembly 3 to reset in the direction toward the second position; and
[0055] further, the elastic member 6 is a spring.
[0056] It should be noted that the way of driving the pushing assembly 3 to remain at the second position or to reset may vary. In addition to using the elastic member 6, this function may also be achieved through magnetic action;
[0057] as shown in FIGS. 11-12, a first magnetic attraction member 112 is fixedly disposed within the accommodating cavity 11, and a second magnetic attraction member 51 corresponding to a position of the first magnetic attraction member 112 is fixedly disposed on the push rod 31 or the swing arm 32. The first magnetic attraction member 112 and the second magnetic attraction member 51 are configured to drive the pushing assembly 3 to be fixed at the second position;
[0058] further, in the above four embodiments of the elastic member 6, the connecting base 111 may be replaced by the first magnetic attraction member 112, and the connecting portion 5 may be replaced by the second magnetic attraction member 51, such that, through the magnetic principle that like poles repel and opposite poles attract between the first magnetic attraction member 112 and the second magnetic attraction member 51, the purpose of driving the pushing assembly 3 to be fixed at the second position is achieved; and
[0059] preferably, when using the magnetic principle of repulsion between like poles, the first magnetic attraction member 112 and the second magnetic attraction member 51 are both magnets. When using the magnetic principle of attraction between opposite poles, the first magnetic attraction member 112 and the second magnetic attraction member 51 may both be magnets, or one may be a magnet and the other may be a magnetically conductive material such as iron.
[0060] Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1-2, the housing 1 includes an upper plate 14 and a lower plate 15 disposed opposite each other, and a connecting frame 16 connecting the upper plate 14 and the lower plate 15. The upper plate 14, the lower plate 15, and the connecting frame 16 jointly enclose and define the accommodating cavity 11 and the accommodating opening 12. A push button 17 is slidably connected to an outer side of the upper plate 14, and an end of the push button 17 extends through the upper plate 14 and is fixedly connected to the pushing assembly 3. When in use, the user only needs to drive the push button 17 to slide, and the sliding of the push rod 31 and / or the swinging of the swing arm 32 can be synchronously achieved. That is, the user only needs to push the push button 17 to realize stepped pushing out of the plurality of cards 2, which makes the pushing of the cards 2 simple, convenient, efficient, and stable, thereby improving the user experience;
[0061] It should be noted that, as shown in FIG. 13, in order to optimize the structural composition of the pushing assembly 3, the pushing assembly 3 may also be provided only with the swing arm 32, and the push button 17 is fixedly connected to the swing arm 32. When in use, it is only necessary to drive the push button 17 to move, so as to directly drive the swing arm 32 to swing and push out the card 2. This structure is simpler and more convenient for pushing. In addition, in cooperation with the above elastic or magnetic reset structure, the user experience can be effectively improved;
[0062] further, as shown in FIGS. 1-2, a display panel 7 is fixedly disposed on the outer side of the upper plate 14, and one side of the display panel 7 is provided with a relief slot 71 corresponding to the push button 17, and the push button 17 is slidably connected within the relief slot 71; and
[0063] preferably, as shown in FIG. 15, the housing 1 may also be provided with a clip 18. One end of the clip 18 is detachably connected to the housing 1, and the other end thereof elastically presses against a back of the lower plate 15, such that a clamping space 181 is formed between the clip 18 and the lower plate 15. When in use, the user may clamp his / her belt or pocket within the clamping space 181 through the clip 18 to firmly fix the card holder on the belt or pocket, thereby effectively improving the portability and storage capacity of the card holder and further improving the user experience.
[0064] In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14, a storage slot 72 is formed on the display panel 7. For the card 2 that are frequently used in daily life, such as access cards and identity cards, the configuration of the storage slot 72 allows the user to place the frequently used card 2 in the storage slot 72, thereby providing the user with a more convenient display window for the card 2. Specifically, at least one end wall in the storage slot 72 is provided with a beveled surface 721 that allows the card 2 to be inserted into the storage slot 72, and at least one end wall in the storage slot 72 adjacent to the beveled surface 721 is provided with a retaining hook 722 for retaining the card 2. The configuration of the beveled surface 721 significantly enhances the convenience of inserting the card 2 into the storage slot 72. In addition, by utilizing the retaining effect of the retaining hook 722, the card 2 can be effectively retained in the storage slot 72, thereby further improving the retaining effect of the card 2 in the storage slot 72. When the card 2 is arranged in the storage slot 72, the beveled surface 721 can abut against one end of the card 2, and the configuration of the beveled surface 721 can restrict the card 2 from leaving the storage slot 72 to some extent, thereby enabling the card 2 to be stably retained in the storage slot 72. When the card 2 is pushed with force to cause the card 2 to slide in a direction toward the beveled surface 721, and the pushing force is greater than the limiting force of the beveled surface 721, the card 2 can smoothly slide out of the storage slot 72.
[0065] Working principle of the present disclosure will be described in detail below:
[0066] During use, the pushing assembly 3 is first pushed to the first position through the push button 17, and then a plurality of cards 2 are placed into the accommodating cavity 11 from the accommodating opening 12. After the push button 17 is released, the pushing assembly 3 automatically resets to the second position under elastic or magnetic action, in which case, the pushing assembly 3 pushes the card latch 4, enabling the card latch 4 to abut against and lock the card 2, thereby preventing the card 2 from disengaging from the accommodating opening 12;
[0067] when the push button 17 is pushed again to drive the push rod31 in the pushing assembly 3 to move and the swing arm 32 to swing, the plurality of cards 2 located in the accommodating cavity 11 are pushed out from the accommodating opening 12 in a stepped state. The user only needs to identify and take out the desired card 2 through the non-overlapping portions among the plurality of cards 2, in which case, the card holder is positioned such that the accommodating opening 12 faces upward and the push button 17 is pushed, such that the cards 2 slide down into the accommodating cavity 11 again under the action of gravity. After the push button 17 is released, the pushing assembly 3 and the card latch 4 reset again and lock the cards 2;
[0068] The cards 2 that are used more frequently may be inserted into the storage slot 72 from the beveled surface 721, and the cards 2 may then be retained by the retaining hook 722.
[0069] The innovative point of the present disclosure lies in that, through the linkage design of the card latch and the pushing assembly, when the pushing assembly is located at the second position, the card can be locked by the card latch; when the pushing assembly is located at the first position, automatic unlocking of the card latch is realized, thereby optimizing the locking and unlocking methods of the card outlet of the card holder in the prior art. In addition, through the stepped structure in the pushing assembly, the card, after being pushed out, can be distributed in a stepped staggered manner, which facilitates the user in identifying and taking out the desired cards, thereby improving the convenience for the user to take out cards.
