Description

The invention relates to a transport cover for an article and a manufacturing method for such transport sleeves.

Transport sleeves are generally known from the prior art. For example, this describes DE 8307205 U1 a case for holding credit and debit cards of the ID-1 format, in which the check card is placed on a slider in a three-sided closed envelope, so that it is protected from external environmental influences.

The US 2,898,257 B describes a transparent shell that is closed on three sides. In this case now a photo can be inserted, etc., which remains visible through the transparent shell.

If objects smaller than the ID-1 format are to be transported, it must be ensured that they too are protected during transport. There is still a need for transport cases for items that need to be transported only once, especially for the delivery of these items as products to their customers. The customer often removes the item for a purposeful determination of the item, the transport case is no longer needed from this point.

The invention is therefore based on the object to produce a transport cover or a storage case in which objects can be transported safely. The object should be easily removed from the case. In particular, for the use of the transport case as disposable packaging is the task of environmentally friendly and cost-effective to produce a transport cover, the object must continue to be transported safely. Another object is to provide a transport cover that can be used in a mass market application and therefore correspondingly simple, effective and easy to produce.

These objects are achieved by the measures described in the independent independent claims. Advantageous embodiments are described in the respective dependent claims.

In particular, the object is achieved by a transport cover for an article, wherein the transport cover is constructed in multiple layers and has a middle layer. The middle layer consists of a movable sub-element and an immovable sub-element. The movable sub-element is a flat carrier for the article, wherein the carrier has a receiving element for receiving the object. This receiving element in turn has a recess which completely receives the object.

In an advantageous embodiment, the middle layer is arranged between two outer layers. The immovable part of the middle layer is mechanically inseparably connected to the outer layers. The flat carrier is accessible from outside the transport envelope and can be moved from the outside. For this purpose, for example, a recess in at least one of the outer layers is formed.

The insoluble compound is achieved in particular by bonding the individual layers. The bonding is achieved by means of a suitable adhesive. The bonding depends on the type and condition of the material of which the individual layers are made up. When using paper, cardboard or cardboard, the adhesive is preferably a glue-like adhesive.

With movable sub-element is hereinafter understood a sub-element of the middle layer, which is movably disposed within the transport cover. In particular, the movable flat carrier can be moved laterally out of the transport envelope. By means of this transport casing, therefore, a mechanism is advantageously provided by which the carrier, also understood as a sliding element or slider, is movable within the casing and laterally outwards of the casing. To remove the item from the transport case, the carrier is moved accordingly from the shell. Thus, the article is protected during transport through the shell and can still be easily removed.

In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the carrier will be incomplete from the transport envelope movable. For this purpose, the carrier has a stop which limits the mobility of the carrier, so that the carrier strikes against a corresponding counterpart within the transport casing, in particular the middle layer, and can not be removed beyond this point from the casing when moving out of the transport casing. By this configuration it is achieved that the carrier is always mechanically movably connected to the transport cover, but can never be separated from the transport cover.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the immovable sub-element guides on to guide the movement of the wearer can. The end of the guide can be the counterpart of the attack of the wearer. The guide may in particular be a slot in the middle layer. This slot is in particular a punched out Long hole. In the height of the slot now the carrier can be moved. These guides are alternatively guide rails, in which the carrier is guided within the transport envelope.

Stop and guide are in particular sub-elements of the middle layer of the carrier, wherein in a preferred embodiment, the stopper is shaped such that it is moved in the leadership of the middle class, in particular a punched slot along. Upon movement of the carrier out of the transport casing, the stop abuts in an end position against the end of the guide, so that the carrier can not be further moved out of the casing.

The article is, for example, a portable data carrier with appropriate security features, such. Smart cards, smart cards, tokens, mass storage cards, multimedia cards, subscriber identification cards in a mobile radio network and / or electronic identity documents such as an electronic identity card, a passport with machine-readable identification data of a person stored on a chip. In particular, a chip card is understood by the term portable data carrier, wherein the field of application of the chip card is very diverse, for example as a credit or debit payment card, health card, access authorization card, company ID, SIM cards, identification card, electronic vehicle registration or driver's license.

The object is in a preferred embodiment, a portable data carrier equipped with an RFID or NFC transponder to communicate contactless.

In particular, the article is a portable data carrier of a form factor smaller than that in the ISO / IEC 7816-2 described ID-1 form. For example, the portable data carrier is a subscriber identification card, SIM for short, in the format ID-000 or mini-UICC, also called ID-3FF. The thickness of such form factors is so far uniform and is 0.762 mm. Preferably, the article is a SIM in a smaller format than ID-3FF, for example in a form factor colloquially referred to as Nano-SIM or 4FF. The thickness of the nano-SIM is possibly reduced compared to the previously standardized thickness of 0.762 mm and, for example, only 0.7 mm.

In a preferred embodiment, the thickness of the middle layer is equal to or greater than the thickness of the article, so that the object is placed in the receiving element top flush in the carrier. By flush is meant that the top of the article does not protrude beyond the top or on the underside of the carrier. As a result, the object can be removed by means of the carrier from the transport casing and pushed back in without the article getting caught on the transport casing or being pushed into the transport casing.

Alternatively, the article is of course not limited to portable media, but may be of any type and shape. For example, the item is a coin, a photographic image or an information leaflet.

In particular, the transport envelope has the outer dimensions of a ISO / IEC 7816-2 described 1D-1 chip card, so that the outer contour of the envelope has the dimensions of 85.725 mm by 53.975 mm. As a result, the transport cover can be transported like a normal chip card in ID-1 format and housed, for example, in a wallet, etc.

The inventive design of the transport envelope ensures that the object is firmly inserted in the recess and is protected by the outer layers of the shell. Furthermore, it is ensured by the recess that the object is flush-mounted in the carrier, whereby an easy insertion of the carrier is achieved in the shell or pushing out of the carrier out of the shell out.

The outer layers are in one embodiment of the same material as the middle layer. As a result, adhesives can be used, which connect the individual layers mechanically insoluble, so that the transport cover is stable against external environmental influences.

The thickness of the outer layers in one embodiment is identical to the thickness of the middle layer. As a result, a very compact and stable transport cover is obtained.

In one embodiment of the invention, the outer layers are made of a different material from the middle layer, so that, for example, a stable middle layer is formed for receiving the object, which is enveloped by the two outer layers, which on the one hand have a smaller thickness and on the other hand have an alternative material , For example, the middle layer could be made of a plastic, whereas the outer layers could consist of a thin paper and / or cardboard layer.

Particularly preferred is an embodiment in which the middle layer of the transport cover is integrally punched. This can be achieved for example by a pre-cutting process. It will be off a manufacturing support of the middle layer, on which a plurality of middle layers is arranged for a corresponding number of transport sheaths at the same time, cut out the movable part element in its final shape. As a result of the part of the production carrier which does not become part of the middle layer of the later transport casing, the immovable part of the middle layer is furthermore connected to the movable part of the middle layer.

In a later punching step, the middle layer's manufacturing support is then separated from the middle layer, thereby separating the movable part of the middle layer from the immovable part of the middle layer.

In a preferred embodiment, at least one outer layer has a viewing window. This viewing window is arranged on the outer layer, that it can be seen whether an object is arranged on the carrier when the carrier is completely inserted in the transport envelope. In one embodiment, the viewing window is an optically transparent area in the outer layer, alternatively, the viewing window is a hole within the outer layer. The viewing window is in particular smaller than the surface of the object, so that the object can not fall out through the viewing window.

This viewing window allows on the one hand a visual inspection for a viewer who can easily determine through the viewing window, whether the object is located within the transport envelope. On the other hand, in the event that the viewing window is a hole in the outer layer, the object can be contacted. In particular, in the production and placement of data carriers on the middle layer now an electrical personalization can be performed through the window, without having to take the disk out of the packaging.

In one embodiment, the middle layer is constructed in multiple layers. As a result, for example, the recess may be formed as a hole in a first layer of the middle layer, whereas a second layer of the middle layer without corresponding recess is arranged below the first layer. The number of layers of the middle layer and the number of layers of the middle layer with recess are not limited to a number. The thickness of the individual layers of the middle layer is also not limited to this invention. As a result, the middle layer is flexible and can be flexibly adapted to different objects.

The basic idea of the invention furthermore relates to a method for the production of a transport casing comprising the following method steps: providing a front and a rear outer layer of the casing; Providing a middle layer of the shell; Arranging the front outer layer on an upper surface of the middle layer and arranging the rear outer layer on an upper side opposite lower side of the middle layer, wherein the front outside, the rear outside and the middle layer are mechanically connected. In this case, the middle layer consists of a movable sub-element and an immovable sub-element. Only the immovable sub-element of the middle layer is connected to the front outer layer and the rear outer layer. The movable sub-element is a flat carrier for an article, wherein the carrier has a receiving element for receiving the article and this receiving element has a recess. The recess takes up the object completely.

A mechanical connection according to the invention is the way to produce a mechanical cohesion. This compound is not solvable in particular. The mechanical connection is preferably cohesively. Cohesive connections are all compounds in which the connection partners are held together by atomic or molecular forces. They are at the same time non-detachable connections, which can only be separated by destruction of the connecting means. In particular, brazing, welding, gluing and vulcanization are to be understood by this.

By immovable sub-element is meant an element of the middle layer that is firmly connected to other components of the transport cover, whereas the movable sub-element is movably disposed within the transport cover.

In the step of providing, in particular, a pre-treatment is included. If, for example, the outer layers have viewing windows or indentations, these viewing windows and indentations are introduced into the respective layer before the layers are arranged. In particular, the pretreatment is carried out by punching or trimming the respective layers.

Pretreatment of the middle layer is also conceivable prior to providing the middle layer. In this case, guide elements and stop are already punched out of the middle layer before the exact arrangement.

In particular, the movable part element is separated from the later immovable subelement of the middle layer.

The pre-treatment may further include a printing step so that the outer layers already exist before the arranging step are printed. The printing process may be, for example, a design print, such that the respective layers of the transport wrapper are finished before the placing step. In particular, the printing method may be an optical personalization, so that corresponding layers of the transport envelope are provided with a unique identifier, which in particular uniquely identifies the item. Such identifiers may be a serial number of the item or user identification data resulting in the unique association of the item.

In the case of SIM as objects, the IMSI and other subscriber identity of the SIM concerning data could be printed on the corresponding layers of the transport wrapper.

In particular, the step of arranging the individual layers is precisely fitting, so that the front outer layer contour is arranged precisely over the middle layer contour and the rear outer layer contour. In this way, the viewing window, indentations and recesses introduced during a pretreatment step are precisely arranged one above the other in the individual layers.

In particular, the provision of the outer layers and the middle layers takes place on corresponding production carriers. In this case, a large number of outer layers is formed simultaneously, so that the method is very efficient and material-saving. Pretreatment of the middle layer is also conceivable prior to providing the middle layer. In this case, the middle layer is in one piece and only after a punching step into the movable and immovable sub-element of the middle layer divided. Are immovable and movable part element in one piece, it is ensured that these sub-elements have the same thickness.

It when the middle layer of the transport cover is in one piece and is punched in one piece is particularly advantageous. This can be achieved, for example, by a precutting process as a pretreatment process. In this case, the movable sub-element is cut out in its final form from a production carrier of the middle layer, on which a plurality of middle layers for correspondingly many transport hoses is arranged simultaneously. As a result of the part of the production carrier which does not become part of the middle layer of the later transport casing, the immovable part of the middle layer is furthermore connected to the movable part of the middle layer.

In a later punching step, the middle layer's manufacturing support is then separated from the middle layer, thereby separating the movable part of the middle layer from the immovable part of the middle layer.

Prior to the arranging step, an adhesive layer is preferably applied to the middle layer for the purpose of mechanically connecting the outer layers and the middle layer. In particular, the adhesive layer is a glue-type adhesive for gluing the individual layers, with glues being aqueous solutions of adhesives. According to a recent definition according to DIN 16921 they can be solutions of animal, vegetable or synthetic raw materials in water.

When using production carriers for the production of the transport envelope, it is particularly useful to coat areas with adhesive, which are not part of the transport case later. By the later singling of the transport sheaths, in particular by a punching step, high mechanical forces are applied to the layer structure, which can lead to delamination if the mechanical connection is insufficient. By coating the additional regions, greater mechanical forces can act on the layer structure without obtaining delamination, since it is ensured that the edge regions of the layers of the transport casing are also coated with the adhesive.

Since, when coating the middle layer, care must be taken that only the immovable partial element of the middle layer is coated with adhesive, in particular a mechanical Fasson-glue technique is to be used.

The layers of the transport envelope are preferably made of a paper-like material, in particular cardboard or cardboard. A material is called a cardboard if it has a basis weight of about 600 g / m ² , ie about 1.5 mm thickness. Lighter or thinner materials are called cardboard. By using cardboard or cardboard as a material, the mechanical bonding by means of gluing is very simple and efficient, on the other hand, a very environmentally friendly material is used as a transport cover. In particular, cardboard or paperboard is very light, compared to other materials. Especially when using the transport case as a single packaging this embodiment is preferable due to the environmental impact.

Alternatively, the transport layers of a plastic, in particular a thermoplastic material such as PVC, PET, PE or the like.

In this case, it is possible to achieve the mechanical connection by means of spot or side welding.

In addition, the materials of the individual layers can also be different, so that, for example, a hybrid transport envelope of at least two materials is produced. Thus, the middle layer of a plastic, the outer layers of paper. The mechanical bonding is achieved with the adhesives suitable for the substance compound.

In a preferred embodiment, the object is a data carrier and one of the outer layers has a viewing window in the form of a hole. Through this hole in the outer layer of the disk is electrically personalized during manufacture. This is made possible by the fact that a corresponding Gegenkontaktierung the personalization device are arranged on the now freely accessible contact surfaces in an existing contact-type interface of the data carrier to achieve an electrically conductive connection between the personalization device and a semiconductor chip within the data carrier.

These portable data carriers have now increasingly a contactless interface. The operating system of the data carrier is designed so that the contactless interface, for example, according to one of ISO / IEC 14443, 15693 or 18092 can be served.

The portable data carriers can thus also be used, for example, as transponders in RFID systems. RFID transponders have an electronic circuit and, depending on the frequency range, an antenna coil (eg 13.56 MHz) or an electromagnetic antenna (eg 868 MHz). Via the antenna, the energy required for operating the transponder can be taken from the field of a personalization device and the data transmission, in particular the electrical personalization, can be carried out. Typical energy ranges of such systems are about 10 cm for ISO 14443 and up to 1 m for ISO 15693 compatible systems.

As a subspecies of RFID technology, the so-called Near Field Communication (NFC, Near Field Communication) is called. For example, this technique is incorporated into portable data carriers to enable communication between the data carrier and a terminal. The coupling of the two devices takes place via coils, the carrier frequency being 13.56 MHz, as in RFID systems, see also NEC standard ISO / IEC 18092 , In this case, communication ranges of about 20 cm can be achieved, whereby electrical personalization during the production of the transport cover is easily possible.

The invention or further embodiments and advantages of the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to figures, the figures only describe embodiments of the invention. Identical components in the figures are given the same reference numerals. The figures are not to be considered as true to scale, it can be exaggerated large or exaggerated simplified individual elements of the figures.

1 shows prior art portable data carriers in four different form factors. The form factors of the data carriers shown here 2 . 3 and 4 are in the ISO / IEC 7816-2 described. The disk 4 has the ID-1 form factor as the first form factor, which is used with dimensions of 85.725 mm by 53.975 mm for credit and debit cards, phone cards, health insurance card and the same.

The disk 3 has the ID-000 form factor, which is used with dimensions of 25 mm by 15 mm, especially for SIM cards. The disk 2 has the mini-UICC, also ID-3FF form factor, which is used with dimensions of 12 mm by 15 mm most recently for SIM cards. The disk 1 again, it has a fourth form factor of possible future standardization. The form factor called Nano-SIM has smaller external dimensions than the ID-3FF form factor.

For delivery SIM are usually in all form factors as data carrier 2 . 3 and 4 provided. The customer selects the appropriate for his device form factor and breaks the appropriate form from the ID-1 body. For this purpose, the data carriers are provided with pre-cuts. With increasingly smaller volumes it is sometimes impossible to provide such form adapters. On the one hand, the risk that the customer destroys the data carrier when breaking out is very great; on the other hand, a clean break-out is sometimes not possible, so that remnants of the webs remain in the edge area. The desire for an alternative delivery of data carriers is therefore given.

In 2a is a case 5 for a disk 4 shown in the prior art. This case 5 is for disk 4 in ID-1 format suitable, so the case 5 itself must have larger external dimensions to accommodate an ID-1 card body therein. The case 5 is closed on three sides. As in 2a implied, the disk becomes 4 in the case 5 inserted by being inserted through the fourth (unlocked) side.

In 2 B is the disk 4 according to 2a in the case 5 completely inserted, so the disk 4 with its main page completely in the case disappears. The direction of movement according to arrow 8th shows that the disk 4 can be inserted into this case and removed again.

3 shows a first transport sleeve according to the invention 6 with a mobile carrier 7 in different views. Here is the outer contour of the shell 6 in the dimensions of an ID-1 data carrier 4 manufactured. As a result, this transport cover 6 how to transport and stow an ordinary chip card in ID-1 format. The mobile carrier 7 is formed flat. The mobile carrier 7 can be adjusted according to the direction of movement 8th lateral from the transport cover 6 move. The transport cover 6 according to 3 is closed on three sides, the carrier 7 through the fourth side laterally from the transport cover 6 can be moved. It is based on the 3 recognizable that the carrier 7 completely in the transport cover 6 can be introduced, see bottom diagram. In this illustration, the principle of the transport envelope is already recognizable. The carrier 7 is a subelement of the middle class 62 the transport cover 6 , These Transport cover has a movable part and a stationary part. The moving part of the middle class 62 is the planar carrier 7 , The immovable part of the middle class 62 is mechanically insoluble with the rest of the transport envelope 6 connected. The flat carrier 7 has two stops at its end 10 on. Appropriate attacks 10 as counterparts of the attacks 10 are also in the immovable part element of the middle class 62 arranged. The stops prevent the wearer 7 can be completely removed from the transport cover. Furthermore, there are guides 9 provided to the wearer 7 within the direction of movement 8th respectively. This transport cover 6 is intended to transport any object. The subject matter in particular portable data carriers 1 , but also coins, information leaflets or other objects conceivable.

In 4 is one too 3 further formed transport sleeve according to the invention 6 shown. The following is only on the differences between the transport case 6 of the 3 and the 4 received. The transport cover 6 of the 4 also has an opening 11 in an outer layer 61 the transport cover on. Through this opening 11 is possible for a viewer directly on the carrier 7 to look. Thus, the viewer recognizes whether the object according to the invention with the transport cover 6 to be transported, actually in the transport cover 6 is. This opening 11 is in particular a punched out hole. Alternatively, it is conceivable that the opening 11 a viewing window is what a transparent area of the outer layer 61 represents.

In 5 is one too 3 and 4 further formed transport sleeve according to the invention 6 shown. The following is only on the differences between the transport case 6 of the 3 and 4 opposite the 5 received. The transport cover 6 of the 5 points to the movable planar support 7 a recess 12 on. This recess 12 serves as a receiving element for a, with the transport case to be transported object. The recess 12 has in particular the shape of the outer contour of the object to be transported. The recess 12 is formed such that the object is flush with the surface of the carrier 7 can be introduced. For this purpose, the recess 12 a depth at least equal to the thickness of the object. In a preferred embodiment, the recess 12 a punched hole, so that the object can be seen from both main sides of the flat carrier.

In 5 is also an opening 11 shown. This opening 11 is so in the outer layer 61 arranged that the object 1 in the recess 12 was placed, with fully inserted carrier 7 is visible to a viewer from the outside.

In 6 is a sketched layer structure of a transport sleeve according to the invention 6 shown. Like from the 6 it can be seen, is the transport cover 6 in this embodiment, built in three layers and has a front outer layer 61 , a middle class 62 with the movable flat carrier 7 and a back outer layer 63 on. The transport cover 6 is therefore made of two outer layers 61 . 63 and an immovable part of a middle class 62 educated. In this example the 6 All layers have the same layer thickness. Of course, depending on the object and the limitation of the total thickness of the transport cover 6 alternative layer thickness can be selected.

As in 6 is apparent, the middle class 62 the movable sub-element as a flat carrier. The vehicle is with stops 10 equipped and can be moved laterally out of the shell, with the guides 99 limit the movement in such a way that the movement in the direction of movement 8th is possible. The flat carrier 7 has a recess for receiving an object as described above. The outer layers 61 and 63 have a viewing window as described above 11 on.

The subelements of the middle class 62 have in particular the same layer thickness. By mechanically connecting the outer layers 61 and 63 with the immovable part of the middle class 62 in accordance with 6 As shown, it is possible to use a carrier 7 movable within the transport cover 6 to obtain. In this case, the carrier 7 along the guide 9 until the stop 10 to be moved. indentations 13 on the outer layers 61 and 63 allow gripping with the fingers of the wearer 7 to the wearer 7 to be able to move.

In 7 is a cross section of the transport cover 6 according to 6 shown on the section line AA '. Here is an upper side of the middle layer 62 with a top of the outer layer 61 mechanically connected. One of the top of the middle class 62 opposite bottom of the middle layer 62 is in turn with the outer layer 63 mechanically connected. It should be noted that only the immovable part of the middle class 62 with the respective outer layers 61 and 63 connected, whereas the carrier 7 as a mobile subelement of the middle class 62 in the direction of movement 8th move laterally. Shown is still the receiving element 12 of the carrier, designed here as a punched hole.

In 8th is a cross section of one too 6 alternative transport cover 6 at the section line AA ' shown. It is at the bottom of the carrier 7 a back wall 70 of the carrier 7 arranged. This back wall 70 is preferably many times thinner than the carrier 7 , This back wall 70 prevents one from being in the recess 12 introduced object while moving the carrier 7 lateral from the transport cover 6 out, out of the recess 12 can fall out. The back wall 70 is for example a film layer or a paper layer.

In 9 is a cross section of one too 6 alternative transport envelope at the section line AA 'shown. This becomes the middle class 62 built up of two layers. Here, the first layer of the middle layers 62 with the recess 12 whereas the second layer of the middle layers 62 no recess 12 having. By this embodiment of the invention is also as in 8th Achieved that the item is not out of the carrier 7 falls when the carrier 7 lateral from the shell 6 is moved.

10 shows a carrier according to the invention 7 for a transport cover 6 , The carrier is with two stops 10 designed so that it is in use within a transport casing according to the invention 6 not completely out of the transport case 6 can be removed. In this figure, the recess 12 circular designed to accommodate, for example, a money or value coin as an item can.

In one embodiment of the invention, the carrier is manufactured and assembled independently of the middle layer and only for transport purposes in the shell 6 brought in. The attacks 10 of the carrier 7 are shaped so that a single complete insertion of the carrier 7 in the shell 6 is possible, however, the attacks 10 a complete removal of the carrier 7 from the shell 6 prevent. These are the attacks, for example, as in 10 shown formed.

11 indicates one 10 alternative carrier 7 for a transport cover 6 , The carrier 7 of the 11 has a recess not shown in the drawing 12 , In the area of the recess 12 is a pull tab 22 intended. This pull tab 22 is from a perforation 21 border. The pull tab is, for example, part of a thin layer, not shown, on the top side of the carrier 7 , The pull tab 22 is alternatively part of one according to 8th shown back wall 70 of the carrier 7 , Through the perforation 21 it is possible for a user to use the thin layer, by means of a tool or his fingernail, the pull tab 22 along the perforation 21 subtract, causing the in the recess 12 introduced object from the carrier 7 can be taken out.

The perforation in the printing sense is a slot and hole punching in the thin layer, such as paper or cardboard for separating the pull tab 22 , A perforation can be produced in perforating machines, in continuous printing machines, in letterpress machines. Even in offset printing presses perforations can be made by the perforation lines 21 sticks to the impression cylinder and uses the blanket as a counter-mold.

According to 13a is the carrier 7 shown in a first end position in which the wearer 7 completely in the transport case 6 is inserted.

In 13b is the middle layer according to the invention 62 shown with movable and immovable sub-element in a second end position. In contrast to 13a is in 13b the carrier 7 has been moved to a second end position. For this purpose, the carrier 7 two attacks 10 on top of the ends of the guides 9 bump. The carrier 7 thus can not beyond this second end position out of the transport case 6 to be moved.

In 14 is one to the 3 to 5 alternative transport sheath invention shown in two views. Significant difference to the previous embodiment is that two carriers 7 in the transport case 6 are provided. As a result, now 2 Objects in a transport case 6 housed and transported safely. The cover is closed on two sides. The case 6 also has the format in this case ISO / IEC 7816-2 ID-1 standard , In the lower diagram it is shown that in this embodiment 2 guides 9 as well as two stops 10 per carrier 7 are provided. The indentations 13 are designed here respectively on both sides.

In 15 is one to the 3 to 5 and 14 alternative inventive storage container 14 shown in two illustrations. The only difference to 14 is the alternative shape of the container 14 even that does not conform to the ID-1 format.

In 16 is one to the 3 . 4 . 5 . 14 and 15 alternative inventive storage container 14 shown in two illustrations. Unlike the 14 and 15 here are not two vehicles 7 but four carriers 7 shown. Every carrier 7 can be lateral to a side of the container 14 move. Every carrier 7 has an appropriate leadership 10 as well as a stop 9 on. With the in 16 shown embodiment, up to four items in a container 14 be housed.

In 17 is a sketch of a production method of a transport casing according to the invention 6 shown. As can be seen here, the transport cases 6 not produced individually, but produced in a variety simultaneously. To do this, the individual layers 61 . 62 and 63 on production carriers 15 . 16 and 17 arranged.

On the production carrier 15 are five front outer layers 61 provided. Suggestion is the later form 18 the transport cover 6 shown. To provide the front outer layer 61 are in particular the indentations 13 and the viewing windows 11 punched out in a punching step.

On the production carrier 16 are five middle classes 62 provided. Suggestion is the later form 18 the transport cover 6 shown. To provide the middle layers 62 In particular, the movable sub-elements (ie the later carrier 7 ) and the immovable subelements (the U-shaped elements) of the middle layer 62 with the appropriate guides 10 as well as attacks 9 pre-cut. In addition, the recesses 12 pre-cut. All die cuts concerning the middle class 62 can be done in a punching process. As you can see, the middle class is still in one piece at this time.

On the production carrier 17 are five back outer layers 63 provided. To provide the rear outer layer 63 are in particular the indentations 13 punched out in a punching step.

Before the step of accurately arranging the individual layers are printed. In the process, a design print is applied to the visible upper sides of the outer layers 61 and 63 and optionally on the carrier 7 applied. Alternatively or additionally, there is an optical personalization of the shell 6 on an outer layer 61 or 63 or on the carrier 7 , The optical personalization serves to the respective transport cover 6 to associate with the article to be transported therein, so that, for example, a unique identifier of the object also on the shell 6 is printed.

In a subsequent step, the prepared production carriers are now arranged one above the other. This is done precisely, so that the individual layers of the transport layer are arranged one above the other in such a way that the indentations, recesses and viewing windows of the respective layers match one another. For the precise overlay of the three layers, markings or holders can be provided on the production carriers in order to align the individual layers accurately.

In a subsequent step, not shown, the middle layer 62 coated on both sides with a binder or adhesive at the locations of immobile U-shaped sub-elements. If the production carriers are made of a paper-like material, the adhesive is in particular a glue. The partially double-sided coating of the production carrier 16 is performed for example with a Fasson glue machine.

In a subsequent step, the individual transport covers are punched out of the superimposed production carriers and are thus isolated. This is based on the with 19 marked transport cases shown. The punching is especially in the middle class 62 the movable part element, so the flat carrier 7 separated from the U-shaped immovable subelement.

In 18 is a sketchy representation of the coating of an upper side of the production carrier 16 for five middle classes 62 the transport cover 6 shown. The later form 18 of the transport cover 6 is drawn by suggestion The drawn area 20 is coated with a glue-like agent. There are two things to consider. For one thing, the glue-like agent must not be on the moving part of the middle class 62 be applied. If this is not taken into account, then the later carrier will 7 with the outer layers 61 or 63 glued, whereby the carrier is no longer movable. On the other hand, the coating with the glue-like agent should also outside the later form 18 the transport cover 6 done so that the edge area of the transport envelope 6 is properly glued and there is no delamination during the final punching. At the time of gluing, the manufacturing carrier should be 16 already pre-punched and with the recesses 12 be provided.

On top of this coating, the corresponding outer layer is now in the subsequent step 61 accurately arranged. Thereafter, the underside of the middle layer is coated with the glue-like agent in the same manner and the corresponding outer layer 63 on the underside of the middle layer 62 accurately arranged.

To improve the mechanical connection, a pressing step can now be carried out, wherein the three-layered layer structure is compressed.

Alternatively, the coating is a heat-activatable adhesive, so that the mechanical connection is established by means of heat introduction onto the layer structure.

In 19 is a sketch of a production method according to the invention with a plurality of transport sheaths shown. In principle, the method is exactly the same as the method according to 17 and corresponding description. In contrast to 17 are the individual production carriers 15 . 16 or 17 for the respective layer 61 . 62 or 63 not for just five transport cases 6 but twenty transport covers can be made simultaneously.

Of course, the number of transport cases 6 per production carrier 15 . 16 . 17 not limiting for the inventive idea.

In 20 Now the inventive loading of an optically personalized transport case is shown with a portable data carrier. In this example, the transport envelope 3 already completed and then introduced the object. This is the carrier 7 until the stop 10 from the transport case 6 moves and the object into the recess 12 brought in. In 20 the object is a SIM 1 in one of the form factors ID-000, ID-3FF or ID-4FF. The unique identifier of the SIM, for example the IMSI, the ICCID, MSISDN etc. are already on the transport cover 6 as optical personalization 23 printed. The optical personalization is done in an alternative method not as a print but as a sticker, the sticker includes the optical personalization data.

In 21 is a to 20 alternatively optically personalized transport cover shown. The difference to 20 is on the type of optical personalization 23 the shell 6 attributed to the contrary 20 in the 21 machine-readable. On the one hand, this can be an imprinted 1D or 2D barcode which has a unique identifier with regard to the item to be loaded.

The assembly and visual and technical personalization will now be described by means of four possible variants.

The SIM 1 is at the time of placement in a first variant still unpersonalized, whereas the transport cover is already optically personalized. After the disk 1 into the recess 12 was placed, the optical personalization data 23 machine-read by a personalization device. The personalization device receives through the read optical personalization data 23 a unique identifier that indicates which electrical personalization data is on the disk 1 to be transferred. This can be queried, for example, by a data server connected to the personalization device. The personalization device now contacts the contact surfaces of the data carrier 1 either through the opening 11 in the outer layer 61 or directly on the carrier 7 if this in the appropriate position according to 20 or 21 remains. After successful contacting, the electrical personalization data is played on the data medium.

Alternatively, the SIM 1 at the time of placement in a second variant already electrically personalized, the optical personalization data with the on the transport cover 6 represented optical personalization data 23 correspond. In this case, the personalization device checks by machine reading the optical personalization data 23 and by contacting and reading the electrical personalization data of the data carrier, whether the optical personalization data matches the electrical personalization data. If there is no match, the volume becomes 1 sorted out with sheath.

Alternatively, the SIM 1 at the time of placement in a third variant already personalized, being on the shell 6 no optical personalization data yet 23 are printed. In this case, the disk becomes 1 also contacted by the personalization device and read out electrically. The data is used to provide a downstream optical personalization device, such as a printing device, a unique identifier that is on the transport wrapper 6 or the carrier 7 to be printed.

Alternatively, the SIM 1 at the time of assembly in a fourth variant unipersonalized and also on the shell 6 are not yet optical personalization data 23 printed. In this case, the optical and electrical personalization takes place in a subsequent step by a personalization device.

For the assembly, the carrier 7 also on the production carrier 16 so that the loading of the transport covers 6 takes place before the punching and separating step.

Alternatively, the data carrier on a contactless communication interface of the type described above. In this alternative, the four described variants are also feasible, wherein in the electrical personalization or the electrical readout of the data from the disk 1 the contacting is replaced by the provision of a corresponding electromagnetic field, wherein the data communication with the data carrier 1 done via the air interface.

In 22a is a front side of an alternative vehicle 7 for a transport cover 6 during placement with an object 1 shown. The carrier 7 has a recess for this purpose 12 on, in which the object is flush mounted. For example, the carrier has the ID-1 format shape ISO / IEC 7816-2 on. Alternative forms are not excluded from the idea of the invention. The carrier 7 is accordingly optically personalized or is in a subsequent step with the optical personalization data 23 printed. In a subsequent step is in the area of the recess 12 a perforated pull tab 22 arranged. The user removes the pull tab 22 based on the perforation 21 as soon as he wants to remove the item. The removal of the article is only at an upper side of the carrier 7 possible. In this case, the recess is a cavity in the carrier 7 ,

In 22b is one too 22a alternative vehicle 7 for a transport cover 6 shown. Alternatively, the recess 12 of the 22b a hole through the carrier 7 passes. Here is the back of the carrier 7 with a back wall 70 designed, in turn, a perforation 21 and a pull tab 22 having. In this variant, the user pulls the tab 22 also from and pushes the object out of the carrier 7 out. This removal of the article is from both tops of the wearer 7 possible.

In 23 is a representation of the cross section on the basis of the section line AA 'of in 22b shown carrier 7 to see. Here is the carrier 7 with a back wall 70 fitted. This back wall 70 is a thin-walled layer, for example of a paper-like material. This layer 70 has a perforation 21 on, with the help of the pull tab 22 at the level of the recess 12 can be removed. This makes it possible to remove the item from the carrier 7 refer to. In a preferred variant, the carrier 7 one according to the 10 to 12 shown type and is as a movable sub-element in a middle layer according to 6 arranged.

In 24 is a cross-sectional view of the in 22a shown support on the basis of the section line AA 'shown. Here is a back wall 70 made of thick material. The carrier 7 thus has a recess 12 on that is not complete by the wearer 7 runs so that the object only from a top of the carrier 7 can be removed. Above the recess 12 is again at least in the area of the recess 12 the pull tab 22 arranged, which with the help of the perforation 21 can be deducted by the user as soon as he wants to remove the item.

In 25 is an example for shipping a transport sleeve according to the invention 6 shown. In particular, the transport cover can be arranged mechanically detachable on a cover letter in DIN A4. in the transport cover is the introduced object. In a final packaging step 24 becomes the cover letter with transport cover 6 and item packed in an appropriate envelope and sealed for shipping.
