description

Card funnel device which can be retrofitted. The invention relates to a device which can also be retrofitted in order to make it easier to insert cards into a machine, lock and other devices.

In the dark, poor eyesight, blindness or nervousness, inserting cards is often difficult. The task of this card funnel is to make it much easier to insert cards. The funnel-shaped device enables a much easier insertion of cards into the device even if the user does not aim the card precisely, because the card slides along the funnel wall into the ever narrowing slot funnel, which goes directly into the opening of the device , Lock or other machine leads. The insertion would be easy even without a view.

Another special feature is that this device can also be retrofitted to machines, locks and other devices that have already been put into operation. This achieves cost-effective usability. Devices of this type do not yet exist.

With the rapid development of electronics, especially in connection with computer technology, the use of magnetic cards has increased to a considerable extent, so their use should be as pleasant as possible. This cost-effective retrofitting option with the card funnel is particularly appropriate at banks with ATMs as well as at petrol stations with automatic dispensers. Which can be glued, screwed on or fastened in any other way. Since many people are additionally stressed by the fact that other people are standing in line with the devices, it is twice as difficult for them to insert the card, which is why this device would simplify operation.

Blind, short stature or handicapped people would be made much easier by this user simplification procedure in the operation of machines and other devices operated by cards.
