Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates generally, and more particularly, to a card container which receives credit cards, business cards or similar items and is provided with a device which is designed to deploy these cards in a staggered manner so that a user can quickly and easily get an overview can procure over the stowed maps and if necessary can take out a certain map comfortably.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Various types of containers, card holders and staggered excavators are known in general. They save several cards to save space, in particular cards in ID-1 format according to ISO / IEC 7810, e.g. Credit, business, or other cards of this size.

In conventional purses, they are usually kept individually staggered, so when opening the wallet is directly apparent, which tray is equipped with which card.

Card Holders with an Excavator allow a more efficient use of the case volume so that multiple cards can be stowed as a package without a liner.

There are several variants in which the ejection takes place via a manually operated device. They are usually designed with a lever arm. This is operated with one finger and allows by rotation / pivoting the desired excavation of the cards contained in the container.

EP 2 931 078 A1 shows a card ejection device that can be adjusted between a first (rest) and a second (working) position and thereby pushes cards partially out of a container. A component of this invention is a device, in the form of a non-woven, which is intended to prevent the tilting of the cards during excavation and at the same time serves as a guide when pushing out of the housing. The actual card ejection device forms a swivel arm, which can be actuated directly via a pivot lever outside the container.

EP 0 287 532 A2 discloses a card container, which is equipped in its interior with an elongate pivoting element which pushes the maps partially out of the container via a step profile when actuated from the outside.

EP 2 434 922 B1 discloses a card container comprising in a sleeve-like manner a package of at least three cards, inside which there is a card ejection element which is used to partially push the cards out of the container. In addition, this container comprises a friction element, which easily adapts to the profile of the card pages and whose execution takes place with fibers of metal, for example.

EP 2 931 078 A1 shows how EP 0 287 532 A2 and EP 2 434 922 B1 , only one swivel arm which is directly operated.

The structure and function of these designs are similar. A container encloses one or more cards, a device which is manually driven takes over the staggered output. This is usually installed at the opposite end of the intended for the issue opening.

In the known solutions, there is the problem that the excavation movements are effected by an asymmetric engagement of the pivot lever. This can tilt the cards in the housing and the excavation can be difficult. Additional measures to guide the card may be required.

The known variants have an external lever, which is folded away when moving from the rest position to the working position of the container. This shape of the lever can, in particular in the unfolded state, lead to, for example, clothing being caught thereon. Even when transported in the bag there is a risk of breaking off by snagging.

Another object may be to provide a container whose operation and handling is further improved. By parallel engagement of two pivot arms at two edge points of the cards, a rotation about the axis of the pivot arms is avoided and allows a linear translational displacement.

In addition, the tightly guided on the container actuation a more compact design of a card case allows, which can be more comfortable, regardless of its working position.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

This object is achieved by the container arrangement according to the invention. According to a first aspect, the container arrangement for a card package comprises a cuboid, sleeve-shaped container with an opening on a narrow side for insertion of the Map packages and / or a card and an arranged inside the container excavating device for staggered ejection of the card package by means of a stepped Aushubprofils. The excavating device in this case has a first lever, at one end of the Aushubprofil is arranged, which is pivotally coupled to a second lever and either the first or second lever is pivotally coupled to the sleeve and the corresponding other lever is slidably coupled to the sleeve and can be actuated via a sliding element which is accessible on the outside of the sleeve, so that when the displaceable end of the one lever is pivoted both levers pivot and the first lever is pivoted in a working position from a rest position in which it runs parallel to a container wall, in which it protrudes from the container wall, and attacks the Aushubprofil on each edge of the cards and this pushes out in a staggered by the profile staggering out of the opening.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

In 1 an embodiment in accordance with the present invention is illustrated. Before a detailed description first follows general explanations to the embodiments.

There are embodiments in which the container is cuboid, sleeve-shaped, provided with an opening on a narrow side for insertion of the card package and / or a card and with an arranged inside the container excavating device for staggered ejection of the card package by means of a stepped Aushubprofils. In this case, the excavating device has a first lever, at one end of the Aushubprofil is arranged, which is pivotally coupled to a second lever. In this case, either the first or second lever is pivotally coupled to the container.

The corresponding other lever is slidably coupled to the container and actuated via an externally accessible on the container sliding element, so that pivot both levers when moving the displaceable end of the one lever. In this case, the first lever pivots from a rest position in which it runs parallel to a container wall (or to the container bottom), into a working position in which it protrudes from the container wall, and attacks the excavation profile on one edge of the cards and these in one staggered by the profile staggered out of the opening. This design allows the user to save the entrained cards to save space and at the same time quickly and easily get an overview of the individual cards.

There are embodiments in which the lifting mechanism is coupled to a sliding element which extends outside the container and is operable there and transmits a sliding movement to the lifting mechanism. Thereby, the part of the mechanism (the slider) required for the drive is separated from the part necessary for the execution (lifting mechanism), the use is improved and the lifting mechanism inside the container is protected from the environment.

There are embodiments in which a direction of operation of the slider is parallel to the excavation direction and there are versions in which the operating direction is transverse to the direction of excavation. This will result in different ergonomic aspects considered. One-handed operation with the thumb of the hand holding the container is possible with a sliding element positioned on the side while in other embodiments the second hand of the user is used for actuation, with a sliding element positioned on the floor.

There are embodiments in which a fuse element is arranged in the container, which fixes the card package and / or individual cards in their respective position to the container by means of static or sliding friction against unintentional displacement by a friction between the card and fuse element and or between card and Housing exercises. By suitable fits and material selection of the gear elements also remains the excavation mechanism in its respective pivot position but can be easily adjusted further.

There are embodiments in which on an outer surface of the container, a receiving device is attached, which serves for storing, for example, coins, a mobile phone or a money clip. This extends the application spectrum.

Coming back to 1 , This shows a first embodiment of a container assembly according to the invention 3 , with an excavating device, which consists of two coupled pivoting arms 1 . 2 consists. The mechanism is designed so that it has a first pivot arm 1 has, which at its first end, pivotable on the container 7 , is hinged. A second swivel arm 2 is pivotable at its first end for driving the mechanism with a sliding element 4 connected, which is slidably guided on the ground and in a guide slot, parallel to the bottom of the container. Both swivel arms 1 . 2 each have a lifting profile at their second ends 9 on. By manual linear actuation parallel to the outer edge of the container 7 , transmits the sliding element 4 the drive movement on the lifting mechanism. Here are the first 1 and the second arm 2 via a joint connection 5 scissor-like connected. This results in a parallel stroke-pivoting movement of the two pivot arms 1,2 in the working position. This is the map package 6 in engagement with the Hubprofilen 9 relative to the container 7 pushed through the opening to the outside. The individual cards are in a diversified or staggered work situation 8th ejected.

2 shows the embodiment 1 in the rest position when retracted. The two swivel arms 1 . 2 the sliding element 4 and the map package 6 are in the rest position, in which the swivel arms 1 . 2 lie flat against the bottom of the container. In this position, the card package is completely inserted and disposed within the container.

3 , shows an inventive illustration of the lifting mechanism, as in 1 and 2 shown. Both swivel arms 1 . 2 have at the operating ends a lifting profile 9 , which is constructed step-like or staircase-like, so that the pivot arms 1.2 taper towards the end. At the outer ends of the pivot arms, the respective first stage is formed and with each further stage, the strength of the arm increases from the end (see also 6 ). The thickness s of the pivot arms 1.2 corresponds approximately to the thickness of the card package, or the clear width w of the container (see 7 )

This lifting profile 9 translates the rotational pivotal movements of the pivot arms in the linear translational movement of the card package or the individual cards. The stair profile ensures the separation / staggering of the cards 6 , The manually driven movement generates a linear translational displacement of the container 7 located card packages 6 along the shorter edge of the container. The stacked cards 6 in the container 7 be through the movement of the lift profile 9 transported from this, wherein the card by the step-like structure of the Hubreliefs each card different distances from the container 7 is transported so that the map package 6 is offered in a diversified or staggered manner in the final position.

After removal of the card package or one or more cards, the position of the lifting mechanism by adhesion or sliding friction between the components, in particular at the axial connections 10 . 13 and ensured in the scenery. By appropriate choice of material and the execution of the fits in the joints and in the backdrop, the mechanism remains in any pivot position, but can still be easily adjusted.

3a shows an alternative of the lifting mechanism, as in 3 described, wherein the lifting profile 9 only on the swivel arm 1 is arranged, which with the container 7 connected via a fixed camp. The one with the sliding element 4 connected levers 12 is not in this variant in engagement with the map package but only serves to actuate the lifting mechanism.

3b shows an alternative of the lifting mechanism, as in 3 described, where here the Hubprofil 9 with the swivel arm 2 is connected, which with the sliding element 4 connected is. The lever arm connected to the container 11 in this variant is not engaged with the map package and serves only as a transmission element for carrying out the pivoting movement.

4 , shows a further alternative of a container arrangement according to the invention 3 with a lifting mechanism consisting of a pivot lever 14 with lifting profile 9 , which with the sliding element 4 is coupled, which is on the outside of the container 7 located. The actuating direction R is in opposite directions and parallel to the conveying direction F of the card package 6 , The system is shown in its rest position.

5 shows an embodiment of a card container according to the invention in the working position. By pressing the sliding element 4 moves the swivel arm 14 from the rest position ( 4 ), in which it is arranged transversely to the conveying direction F, pivots by displacing the sliding element 4 into the working position and pushes the card package 6 from the container 7 ,

To a linear translational movement of the map package 6 to ensure located on two inner sides of the container a guiding and holding device 15 which prevents an independent and unwanted displacement of the cards in the conveying direction relative to each other. This device may for example comprise a leaf spring which acts on the edges of the card. Alternatively, the device may also comprise an elastic holding body.

6 shows the contact between the lifting profile 9 and the map package 6 , Credit cards and similar are by ISO / IEC 7810 standardized. Their size (height x width) is defined eg with 85,60mm × 53,98mm. The thickness is given as 0.76mm ± 0.08mm. In order to take into account the full range of tolerance is the gradation of the lifting profile 9 designed so that the step height h is constant but smaller than the 0.76 mm specified in the standard. Thus, different card thicknesses are considered constructively. A suitable step height h is, for example, between 0.3 and 0.6 mm. A suitable step depth to achieve an excavation offset of at least 3mm is between 1.2 and 1.6 mm.

7 shows a container assembly according to the invention 3 which has a money clip 16 on the outside. Other elements may also be attached to one or more outsides. This is exemplified by the area 17 marked, on which such extensions, in particular recordings for mobile phones, pens or containers for storing coins or bills, etc., may be appropriate.

Other variants and embodiments of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the scope of the claims.
