Description

Diese Erfindung betrifft einen SIM-Kartenadapter für GSM-Tele­ fone, der aus einer Karte besteht, in die eine SIM-Steckkarte (Plug in-SIM-Karte) dergestalt eingefügt werden kann, daß sich eine IC-card-SIM-Karte ergibt.This invention relates to a SIM card adapter for GSM tele fone, which consists of a card into which a SIM card (Plug in SIM card) can be inserted in such a way that results in an IC card SIM card.

In GSM-Telefonen können zweierlei verschiedene SIM-Karten ver­ wendet werden: die SIM-Steckkarte und die IC-card-SIM-Karte. Elektrisch und funktionell gesehen gleichen sich diese beiden Kartenarten völlig. Im Prinzip erfolgt die Herstellung der SIM- Steckkarte durch Abschneiden (Stanzen) des überschüssigen Pla­ stikmaterials von der IC-card-SIM-Karte. Mit der Erfindung soll ein neuartiger Kartenadapter geschaffen werden, der in beiden genannten GSM-Telefonen funktioniert. Für den erfindungsgemäßen SIM-Kartenadapter ist charakteristisch, daß der Kartenadapter, in den die SIM-Steckkarte eingefügt werden kann, aus einer kre­ ditkartengroßen Karte besteht, in die, d. h. zwischen deren obe­ ren und unteren Fläche, die SIM-Steckkarte in eine dafür vor­ gesehene Stelle so eingefügt werden kann, daß ihre Kontakte in die im Kartenadapter befindliche Öffnung zu liegen kommen. Mit diesem Adapter kann auf einfache Weise die SIM-Steckkarte von einem Telefon (Handtelefon) auf ein anderes Telefon (z. B. Auto­ telefon), bei dem SIM-Karten von Kreditkartenformat verwendet werden, übertragen werden. Ist dieser Adapter vorhanden, be­ steht stets die Gewißheit, daß die eigene SIM-Steckkarte für alle GSM-Telefone paßt.Two different SIM cards can be used in GSM phones are used: the SIM plug-in card and the IC card SIM card. From an electrical and functional point of view, these two are the same Card types completely. In principle, the SIM Insert card by cutting (punching) the excess pla Stikmaterials from the IC card SIM card. The invention is intended a novel card adapter can be created in both called GSM phones works. For the invention SIM card adapter is characteristic that the card adapter, into which the SIM card can be inserted from a Kre there is the card-sized card in which, H. between the above and lower surface, the SIM card into one for this seen point can be inserted so that their contacts in the opening in the card adapter comes to rest. With This adapter can easily be used for the SIM plug-in card a telephone (hand-held telephone) to another telephone (e.g. car phone) using SIM cards of credit card format will be transferred. If this adapter is available, be there is always the certainty that the own SIM card for all GSM phones fit.

Aus der DE 41 32 720 A1 ist eine Wertkarte bekannt, in deren Fensteröffnung eine Minichipkarte eingefügt werden kann. Eine dauerhafte Verbindung zwischen Werkarte und Minichipkarte wird durch zusätzliche Befestigungselemente erzielt. Diese Befestigungselemente können je nach Ausführung nicht mehrmals verwendbar oder für den Anwender umständlich zu handhaben sein. Es bestand also der Wunsch nach einer Lösung, die ohne solche Befestigungselemente auskommt und leicht anwendbar ist.From DE 41 32 720 A1 a prepaid card is known, in the Window opening a mini chip card can be inserted. A permanent connection between work card and mini chip card is established by achieved additional fasteners. These fasteners Depending on the version, they cannot be used multiple times or for the Users are awkward to handle. So there was a wish for a solution that works without such fasteners and is easily applicable.

Für eine der Ausführungsformen der Erfindung ist charakteri­ stisch, daß die SIM-Steckkarte an dem einen Stirnseitenrand des Adapters in diesen eingesteckt werden kann. Die SIM-Steckkarte bleibt reibungsbedingt unverrückbar in ihrer Position, weil die Adapterstelle so knapp bemessen ist, daß die Karte ohne Werk­ zeug mühelos eingesteckt und herausgezogen werden kann.Characteristic of one of the embodiments of the invention that the SIM card on one end of the Adapters can be inserted into this. The SIM card remains in its position due to friction, because the Adapter point is so tight that the card has no work stuff can be easily inserted and removed.

Für eine weitere Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist charakteri­ stisch, daß der Kartenadapter aus einer Plastikscheibe mit Pla­ stikfolien besteht. Die Dicke des eigentlichen Adapters ist somit kaum größer als die einer normalen Kreditkarte. Hat die Plastikfolie eine Dicke von 0,2 mm, so ist der Kartenadapter also um 0,4 mm dicker als eine normale IC-card-SIM-Karte.For a further embodiment of the invention, is characteristic that the card adapter from a plastic disc with pla Stikfolien exists. The thickness of the actual adapter is therefore  hardly bigger than that of a normal credit card. Has the Plastic film a thickness of 0.2 mm, so is the card adapter that is 0.4 mm thicker than a normal IC card SIM card.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung an Hand von Beispielen unter Bezugnahme auf die beigefügte Zeichnung beschrieben, in der ein Adapter nach einer der Ausführungsformen, mit nach oben weisen­ der Unterseite, dargestellt ist.In the following the invention is illustrated by examples below Described with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which a Adapter according to one of the embodiments, with upwards the bottom, is shown.

Der Adapter besteht aus der Karte 1, in die die SIM-Steckkarte 2 so eingefügt werden kann, daß sich eine IC-card-SIM-Karte er­ gibt. Der Kartenadapter, in den die SIM-Steckkarte 2 eingeführt werden kann, hat die Größe einer Kreditkarte, in die zwischen ihre obere Fläche 3 und ihre untere Fläche 4 die SIM-Steckkarte 2 in die dafür vorgesehenen Stelle 5 so eingefügt werden kann, daß die Kontakte 6 der SIM-Steckkarte in die im Kartenadapter befindliche Öffnung 7 zu liegen kommen. Die SIM-Steckkarte wird von der einen Stirnseite des Kartenadapters aus so an ihre Stelle 5 gesteckt, daß die Kontakte 6 in die Öffnung 7 zu lie­ gen kommen. Der Kartenadapter besteht aus einer Plastikscheibe 9, die Plastikfolien 3, 4 hat.The adapter consists of the card 1 , into which the SIM card 2 can be inserted so that there is an IC card SIM card. The card adapter into which the SIM card 2 can be inserted is the size of a credit card, into which the SIM card 2 can be inserted between its upper surface 3 and its lower surface 4 in the designated location 5 so that the Contacts 6 of the SIM card come to rest in the opening 7 in the card adapter. The SIM card is inserted from one end of the card adapter in its place 5 so that the contacts 6 in the opening 7 come to lie. The card adapter consists of a plastic disc 9 , which has plastic foils 3 , 4 .
