Description

[0001]

[0002] Card holder with one cover and one layer

[0003] The invention relates to a receiving device for cards according to the preamble of claim 1.

[0004] EP 2 773235 B1 discloses a holding device into whose housing cards, in particular credit cards or cards of this format, can be inserted. The cards are pressed from above against the base of the housing by a clamp. Banknotes can also be clamped between the clamp and, for example, the top card of a stack.

[0005] The cards and / or notes held in the holder's housing are protected by a cover that is attached to one side of the housing and can be swung open and closed. The cover can be reversibly fastened and released using a snap fastener on one side of the housing. Once the snap fastener is released, the cover can be swung open, and the cards and notes are visible and easily accessible from above. However, if the number of cards inside the housing is too high, the clamp may be overtightened, making it extremely difficult to insert banknotes under the clamp. Furthermore, cards inserted into overly full housings can become deformed and possibly damaged.

[0006] There is therefore a need for holders that can reliably hold cards, especially credit cards or cards of this format, regardless of clips and / or housings.

[0007] The invention is therefore based on the object of providing a card receiving device which can easily and flexibly receive cards without the cards being damaged when inserted or removed.

[0008] The present invention solves the stated problem by the features of claim 1.

[0009] According to the invention, it has been recognized that a cover and a layer connected to it in a sandwich-like manner can form a slot into which the cards can be inserted in at least one insertion direction or even in two insertion directions.

[0010] Because the cover and / or the layer has or has at least one desired shaping zone on at least one of its and / or its edge regions, which preferably face the longitudinal edges of a card, the assumption of a certain shape of the cover and / or the layer when inserting cards is promoted or predetermined.

[0011] The cards don't jam when inserted; instead, the lid and / or the layer take on a shape that follows the surface area and the number of cards. The insertion compartment is formed by the lid and a layer attached to it, preferably an inner layer.

[0012] This allows the cards to rest gently between the inside of the lid and the layer. Both the lid and the layer can be customized to accommodate cards in a defined manner.

[0013] The lid could be box-like and curved outwards or upwards when cards are accommodated in the slot compartment, the layer forming a substantially flat base surface which lies parallel to the bottommost card when cards are accommodated in the slot compartment, with side flanks of the lid projecting outwards or upwards substantially orthogonally from this base surface. This allows the cards to lie straight and not be accommodated crookedly in the slot compartment. If a housing is connected to the receiving device, the surfaces of the cards in the receiving device can be aligned substantially parallel to the surfaces of the cards in the housing. This promotes the orientation of the cards in a first slot compartment parallel to the cards in a second slot compartment.

[0014] A desired shaping zone could be between 5 and 15 mm wide, i.e., have a width in the range of 5 to 15 mm. Particularly preferably, the desired shaping zone could be between 5 and 30 mm wide, i.e., have a width in the range of 5 to 30 mm, and / or be designed as a sliding zone. This reliably ensures that the edges of the cards do not catch on an inner surface of the cover and become jammed, but can easily align parallel to one another. The sliding zone could be created by smoothing, particularly a leather surface.

[0015] A predetermined shaping zone could be formed as a zone of the cover and / or layer whose thickness is reduced compared to the remaining area of ​​the cover or layer. The cover and / or layer are formed with predetermined shaping zones that promote or dictate the assumption of a specific shape of the cover and / or layer when cards are inserted. The predetermined shaping zones function similarly to predetermined breaking points, defining weaker areas that tend to snap or bend in a defined manner. If the cover or layer is made of leather, the leather can be sharpened, i.e., have a reduced material, at the predetermined shaping zones.

[0016] Two target formation zones could be spaced between 53 and 54 mm apart at their centers. Specifically, the parallel longitudinal centerlines located within the target formation zones could be spaced between 53 and 54 mm apart. This ensures that credit card-sized cards can slide smoothly up and down and, if necessary, can easily brush their longitudinal edges along the target formation zones without jamming or becoming skewed.

[0017] The layer could be attached to the lid with opposing seams, with the seams spaced between 50 and 54 mm apart. This prevents the cards from tilting and becoming crooked in the slot. The seams ensure that the layer is stretched evenly and that the lid does not deflect laterally outwards or upwards when cards are inserted into the slot. For this reason, the seams are preferably spaced no more than 54 mm apart.

[0018] Each seam could be followed by a seam overhang oriented away from the slot. Because the seam overhangs on both sides of the layer extend downward toward the housing or away from the slot of the receiving device, the position of the bottommost card in the slot is advantageously determined.

[0019] The layer could be attached to the lid with opposing seams, with each seam being followed by a seam overhang or edge of the layer which is oriented away from the insert compartment and / or projects essentially orthogonally downwards, i.e. in the direction of a casing. This design causes the seam overhangs or edges of the layer to bend downwards, i.e. in the direction of the casing. In conjunction with the undersize of 54 mm, namely the distance between the seams, a funnel-shaped edge gap initially forms between the surface of the bottommost card and the layer. As soon as further cards are inserted into the insert compartment, the edge gap decreases and the lid is held in its box-like shape. The more cards are inserted into the insert compartment, the smaller the edge gap becomes. A stack of cards is held straight in the insert compartment and not tilted or inclined if the seam overhangs of the layer bend vertically downwards.

[0020] The lid and the layer could be connected to each other by a yarn or an elastic yarn. A yarn, especially an elastic yarn, creates a slight play, allowing the two components, lid and layer, to be moved, particularly displaced, relative to each other.

[0021] The lid could be designed to be flexible and expandable on the outside. This would allow a large number of cards to be accommodated in the slot under slight tension.

[0022] Alternatively or additionally, the lid could have recesses that form a net-like structure. The lid or a part of the lid could be designed to be flexible due to recesses formed in or on it, so that its width and / or length can be expanded by 4% to 15% at least in some regions. Recesses on or in the lid or in a part of the lid make it easily deformable and thus expandable. The recesses make the lid or a part of the lid non-destructively and reversibly expandable. The recesses could form a net-like structure. A net or a net-like structure can be stretched or deformed particularly well, in particular in all directions. Preferably, at least 25% to 90%, particularly preferably 50% to 90%, of the surface of the lid is provided with a net-like structure, namely preferably webs including recesses, in order to enable it to be easily stretched.

[0023] The net-like structure could be formed by recesses and webs, with the webs separating the recesses from each other at least in certain areas. The webs preferably surround holes in the lid or in a layer of the lid and give the lid great flexibility. The lid is flexible and can be reversibly stretched without damage.

[0024] The layer could have at least one cutout or recess. This makes the layer springy. The recess also allows cards to be recognized in the slot and / or pushed out of it with a finger.

[0025] The lid and / or the layer could be made of leather. Leather can easily be reduced in thickness by sharpening.

[0026] A holding device for cards and / or notes could comprise a receiving device of the type described here and a housing, with the receiving device or the cover pivotally connected to the housing. This allows cards to be held not only in the receiving device, but also in the housing.

[0027] The case could have a second card slot. A second slot allows for additional cards to be inserted into the case. The lid and slot can be made of a suitable card-protecting material to minimize damage to the cards stored in the second slot.

[0028] A holding device could comprise a housing that is open at the top and has a base, the base having upwardly projecting and spaced-apart side webs. The side webs, together with the base, form, at least in sections, the second card slot. Since the housing is open at the top, cards can be easily pulled out of the housing.

[0029] At least one clamp could be provided, which engages from above into the upwardly open housing. The at least one clamp, provided that neither cards nor notes are arranged in the housing, is partially located between side bars and extends with a free end at least approximately to the bottom. This allows the clamp to press down on cards from above and clamp banknotes between itself and the cards. The clamp is subject to a certain pretension and is particularly effective in securing banknotes that are intended to rest on cards inserted into the housing. The clamp also presses the cards from above against the bottom of the housing.

[0030] The base could have a recess through which the clip or several clips can pass with their free ends, provided neither cards nor banknotes are present in the housing. This allows the clip to have a particularly high pre-tension and exert a particularly high force, pressing down on cards and / or banknotes from above.

[0031] The side bars could have different heights. Alternatively or additionally, the height of a first side bar could be greater than that of a second side bar, allowing notes and / or cards to protrude from the casing via the lower side bar. This allows a particularly large number of cards to be accommodated in the casing. Individual cards can be easily removed from the casing via the lower side bar.

[0032] The housing's slot could be formed by essentially parallel U-profiles, C-profiles, or oppositely oriented L-profiles. Such profiles can accommodate cards between them in the manner of a slot, particularly by clamping them slightly. It is essential that a receiving device of the type described here can be pivotably mounted on this housing to provide an additional slot.

[0050] Fig. 1 shows a cover 7a for a card holder 7, in particular for credit and / or plastic cards. The cover 7a has prefabricated seam holes 10a through which a thread 13 can be passed, connecting the cover 7a to a layer 7b.

[0051] Fig. 2 shows that the receiving device comprises the cover 7a and a layer 7b connected thereto, wherein the cover 7a and the layer 7b form a first insertion compartment 1a into which the cards can be inserted in at least one insertion direction.

[0052] In the specific example, a slot 1a is provided that is open on both sides, so that a card can be inserted into the receiving device 7 in two insertion directions, from the front and from the back. However, it is also conceivable that only one insertion direction is possible because the slot 1a is closed on one side.

[0053] Fig. 1 and 2 show that the lid 7a has a desired shaping zone 11 on each of its opposite edge regions on the long sides, which promotes or specifies the assumption of a certain shape of the lid 7a when cards are inserted.

[0054] Fig. 3 and 4 show that the cover 7a is curved outwards in a box-like manner when cards are received in the slot 1a, wherein the layer 7b forms a substantially flat base surface which lies parallel to the lowermost card when cards are received in the slot 1a.

[0055] From this base surface, side flanks 7c of the cover 7a protrude outwards essentially orthogonally or slightly inclined, but approximately orthogonally, in particular when cards are accommodated in the slot 1a, but also otherwise if the material of the cover 7a is sufficiently rigid.

[0056] Fig. 1 shows that a desired shaping zone 11 has a width b1 in the range of 5 to 15 mm, preferably in the range of 5 to 30 mm. Each desired shaping zone 11 is designed as a sliding area, so that cards can slide easily along the desired shaping zones 11 with their edges without jamming or becoming misaligned.

[0057] Fig. 3 shows that each desired forming zone 11 is formed as a zone of the cover 7a which is reduced in thickness compared to a remaining area of ​​the cover 7a.

[0058] Fig. 1 shows that two target forming zones 11 are spaced apart at their centers by between 53 and 54 mm. This width b2 in the range of 53 to 54 mm is represented by the double arrow between the dashed longitudinal center lines of the target forming zones 11.

[0059] Fig. 2 shows that the layer 7b is attached to the cover 7a with opposite seams 10, the distance b3 of the seams 10 being in the range between 50 and 54 mm.

[0060] Figs. 3 and 4 show that each seam 10 is adjoined by a seam projection 17 of layer 7b, which is oriented away from the insert compartment 1a and abuts the lid 7a, namely its inner side. Layer 7b is attached to the lid 7a with opposing seams 10, with each seam 10 being adjoined by a seam projection 17, which is oriented away from the insert compartment 1a and projects downwards essentially orthogonally, namely bends downwards.

[0061] Figs. 1, 2, and 6 show that the cover 7a is designed to be flexible and expandable outwardly. The cover 7a has recesses 8b that form a net-like structure.

[0062] Figs. 2 and 5 show that layer 7b has at least one recess 8a in the form of a U- or V-shaped notch and, approximately in the center, a recess 8c in the form of a rectangular cutout. Through the recess 8c, approximately in the center of layer 7b, the recesses 8b of the cover 7a can be seen, as well as cards, if any are accommodated in the insert compartment 1a.

[0063] The cover 7a and the layer 7b are made of leather. The desired shaping zones 11, 12 are formed as sharpened portions of the leather, namely as material reductions.

[0064] Fig. 5 shows a holding device for cards and / or banknotes, comprising a receiving device 7 of the type described here and a housing 1 connected thereto, wherein the receiving device 7 is pivotally connected to the housing 1 via the cover 7a. Specifically, the cover 7a is received in the housing 1 via holding ribs 16, which are shown in Figs. 1 to 4.

[0065] The housing 1 has a second card slot 1b. The holding device has an upwardly open housing 1 having a base 2, wherein the base 2 has upwardly projecting and spaced-apart side webs 3, 4. The side webs 3, 4, together with the base 2, form the second card slot 1b, at least in sections.

[0066] The arrows in Fig. 5 show the insertion directions into the slots 1a, 1b.

[0067] At least one clamp 5 is provided which engages from above into the upwardly open housing 1, wherein the at least one clamp 5, if neither cards nor notes are arranged in the housing 1, is located partially between side webs 3, 4 and reaches with a free end at least approximately to the bottom 2.

[0068] The side webs 3, 4 have different heights. The height of a first side web 3 is greater than the height of a second side web 4 such that notes and / or cards can protrude from the housing 1 beyond the first side web 4, which has a lower height.

[0069] The receiving device 7 has a first insertion compartment 1a, into which cards can be inserted in the same insertion direction as into the second insertion compartment 1b of the housing 1. The identical insertion directions are indicated by the two arrows in Fig. 5. The first insertion compartment 1a is formed by the cover 7a and the layer 7b attached to it, namely an inner layer. Furthermore, a tab 15 is formed on the cover 7a, which carries a push button 14.

[0070] Figs. 1 and 2 show that the cover 7a has recesses 8b that form a mesh-like structure. The cover 7a or a portion of the cover 7a is flexibly expandable in its width and / or length by 4% to 15%, at least in some areas.

[0071] Figs. 1 and 2 show that the recesses 8b form a net-like structure covering over 25% of the surface of the cover 7a. The net-like structure is formed by the hole-like recesses 8b and webs, with the webs separating the recesses 8b from each other. The cover 7a and the layer 7b are connected to each other by a yarn 13.

[0072] Fig. 5 shows that the layer 7b has at least one recess 8a and at least one cutout 8c through which cards in the first slot 1a can be recognized and moved.

[0073] Fig. 5 shows that the side webs 3, 4 of the housing 1 are connected to each other only at one rear side of the housing 1 by a connecting web 6 positioned orthogonally to the base 2. From the front side, cards or credit cards can be inserted into the housing 1 like a drawer until they stop against the connecting web 6 or other stops.

[0074] The base 2 further has a front, flat transverse web 2a, which is connected to a through-hole 2b in the direction of the connecting web 6. Cards can be moved through the through-hole 2b with a finger or thumb. The thumb or finger then protrudes from below through the through-hole 2b toward the clip 5 coming from above. The flat transverse web 2a is flush with the base 2 and is a part of the base 2.

[0075] The side web 3 forms a connection side of the housing 1, to which the cover 7a is pivotally connected. The cover 7a can be secured by means of a snap fastener 14 to the other side web 4, which forms the snap fastener side of the housing 1. In Fig. 5, the cover 7a is opened or pivoted open, so that the inside of the cover 7a is visible.

[0076] In Fig. 6, a thick stack 9 of cards is accommodated in the housing 1. Furthermore, another stack of cards 9a is accommodated in the first slot 1a of the receiving device 7. Fig. 5a shows a further holding device for cards and / or notes, comprising another receiving device 7' of the type described here and a housing 1 connected to it, wherein the receiving device 7' is pivotally connected to the housing 1 via the cover 7'a.

[0077] Fig. 5a also shows that each seam 10 is adjoined by a seam overhang 17 of layer 7'b, which is oriented away from the insert compartment 1a and rests against the lid 7'a, namely on its inner side. Although only one seam overhang 17 is shown, a seam overhang (not shown) is also provided on the opposite side.

[0078] The housing 1 has a second card slot 1b. The holding device has an upwardly open housing 1 having a base 2. The base 2 has upwardly projecting and spaced-apart side webs 3, 4. The side webs 3, 4, together with the base 2, form the second card slot 1b, at least in sections. The arrows in Fig. 5a indicate the directions of insertion into the card slots 1a, 1b.

[0079] At least one clamp 5 is provided which engages from above into the upwardly open housing 1, wherein the at least one clamp 5, if neither cards nor notes are arranged in the housing 1, is located partially between side webs 3, 4 and reaches with a free end at least approximately to the bottom 2.

[0080] The receiving device 7' has a first insertion compartment 1a, into which cards can be inserted in the same insertion direction as into the second insertion compartment 1b of the housing 1. The identical insertion directions are indicated by the two arrows in Fig. 5a. The first insertion compartment 1a is formed by the cover 7'a and the layer 7'b attached to it, namely an inner layer. Furthermore, a tab 15 is formed on the cover 7'a, which supports a push button 14. Fig. 5a shows that the cover 7'a does not have a mesh-like structure and has a closed surface.

[0081] Fig. 5 shows that the side webs 3, 4 of the housing 1 are connected to each other only at one rear side of the housing 1 by a connecting web 6 positioned orthogonally to the base 2. From the front side, cards or credit cards can be inserted into the housing 1 like a drawer until they stop against the connecting web 6 or other stops.
