Description

Kredit- und Identifikationskarten sind heute vielfach in Gebrauch. Sie haben meist eine Normgrösse und sind aus Kunststoff hergestellt. Die meisten Karten haben eine Prägung, und manche sind mit einem magnetischen Streifen versehen, von dem durch Berühung mit magnetischem Metall die gespeicherten Daten erlöschen. Solche Karten werden oft elektronisch "gelesen", wozu sie in einen Schlitz des Lesegerätes eingeschoben werden. Sie dürfen dann keinen Knick aufweisen. Es besteht daher ein Bedürfnis, die Karten so aufzubewahren, dass sie nicht geknickt werden, die Prägung erhalten bleibt und die magnetisch gespeicherten Daten nicht erlöschen.Credit and identification cards are widely used today. They usually have a standard size and are made of plastic. Most cards are embossed, and some have a magnetic stripe from which the stored data is lost when they are touched with magnetic metal. Such cards are often "read" electronically, for which purpose they are inserted into a slot in the reader. Then they must not have a kink. There is therefore a need to store the cards in such a way that they are not bent, the embossing is retained and the magnetically stored data does not go out.

Die US-A-4141 400 schlägt daher vor, ein Behältnis zu benützen, das einen solchen Schutz bildet.US-A-4141 400 therefore proposes to use a container that provides such protection.

Dieses Behältnis hat aber den Nachteil, dass es nur eine einzige Karte aufzunehmen vermag. Aus der US-A-3 421 658 ist ein Behältnis bekannt geworden, in dem mehrere Karten untergebracht werden können. Im Behälter liegen die Karten einfach aufeinander. Zum Herausnehmen kann entweder der Deckel geöffnet werden oder bei geschlossenem Deckel die zuoberst liegende Karte seitlich herausgeschoben werden. Dies hat den Nachteil, dass - wenn die zuunterst liegende Karte gebraucht wird - alle Karten herausgenommen werden müssen.However, this container has the disadvantage that it can only hold a single card. From US-A-3 421 658 a container has become known in which several cards can be accommodated. The cards simply lie on top of each other in the container. To remove it, either the lid can be opened or, when the lid is closed, the card on top can be pushed out to the side. This has the disadvantage that - if the card at the bottom is used - all cards must be removed.

In der US-A-3 688 896 ist ein Behältnis gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 beschrieben.US-A-3 688 896 describes a container according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bei dieser bekannten Ausführungs läßt sich eine bestimmte Karte nicht mit gezieltem Griff schnell u. handlich entnehmen.In this known embodiment, a certain card can not quickly u with a targeted grip. easy to remove.

Die Erfindung stellt sich zur Aufgabe, ein Behältnis für mehrere Karten zu schaffen, das die oben genannten Nachteile vermeidet. Jede einzelne Karte soll gut geschützt aufbewahrt werden und für sich schnell u. einfach aus dem Behältnis zu entnehmen sein.The object of the invention is to create a container for several cards which avoids the disadvantages mentioned above. Each individual card should be kept well protected and quickly and can be easily removed from the container.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe mit einem Behältnis, das die Merkmale des Anspruches 1 aufweist. Die Griffe können mit einer Arretierung versehen sein, die ein unbeabsichtigtes Herausschieben des Schiebers verhindern.The invention solves this problem with a container which has the features of claim 1. The handles can be provided with a lock that prevents the slide from being pushed out unintentionally.

In der Zeichnung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel des Erfindungsgegenstandes dargestellt.In the drawing, an embodiment of the subject of the invention is shown.

Es zeigen: Figur 1 eine Ansicht des Behältnisses mit drei Schiebern von oben, in grösserem Masstab;

  • Figur 2 einen Schnitt enlang der Linie 11-11 in Figur 1;
  • Figur 3 drei Schieber für sich, in perspektivischer Darstellung;
  • Figur 4 einen Schieber in Seitenansicht;
  • Figur 5 ein Behältnis mit Klammern, in Ansicht von oben.
FIG. 1 shows a view of the container with three slides from above, on a larger scale;
  • 2 shows a section along the line 11-11 in Figure 1;
  • FIG. 3 three sliders for themselves, in a perspective view;
  • Figure 4 shows a slide in side view;
  • Figure 5 shows a container with clips, in a view from above.

Das Behältnis nach den Figuren 1 und 2 umfasst ein Gehäuse 10 mit drei Schiebern 20 und drei Griffen 30.The container according to FIGS. 1 and 2 comprises a housing 10 with three slides 20 and three handles 30.

Das Gehäuse 10 hat eine Rückwand 11 und eine Öffnung 12, aus der die Schieber mit Hilfe der Griffe einzeln herausgeschoben werden können. In den die Öffnung begrenzenden, schmalen Längsseiten des Gehäuses sind Nuten 13 angebracht, in denen die Schieber gleitend geführt sind. In der oberen, breiten Gehäusewand sind Schlitze 14 angebracht, durch die Laschen für die Betätigung der Schieber hindurchragen. Im Bereich der breiten, äusseren Schieber sind in der oberen Gehäusewand Nuten 15 angebracht, die der Verriegelung dienen.The housing 10 has a rear wall 11 and an opening 12 from which the slides can be pushed out individually using the handles. In the narrow longitudinal sides of the housing delimiting the opening, grooves 13 are provided, in which the slides are slidably guided. In the upper, wide housing wall there are slots 14 through which tabs for actuating the slides protrude. In the area of the wide, outer slide, grooves 15 are provided in the upper housing wall, which are used for locking.

Die drei Schieber 20 sind ein wenig unterschiedlich ausgebildet, wie aus Figur 3 und 4 hervorgeht. Der unterste Schieber 21 ist an seiner rechten Rückseite mit einer Lasche 22 versehen, die durch einen der Schlitze 14 im Gehäuse ragt und oberhalb der breiten Gehäusewand parallel zu dieser umgebogen ist. Die umgebogene Fläche ist mit einer Bohrung versehen, deren Zweck später erläutert wird. Der mittlere Schieber 23 ist an seiner linken Rückseite mit einer Lasche 24 versehen. Damit der Schieber 23 mit Hilfe der Lasche 24 verschoben werden kann, ist der oberste Schieber 25 mit einer seitlichen Aussparung 26 versehen.The three slides 20 are designed a little differently, as can be seen from FIGS. 3 and 4. The lowermost slide 21 is provided on its right rear side with a tab 22 which projects through one of the slots 14 in the housing and is bent parallel to the latter above the wide housing wall. The bent surface is provided with a hole, the purpose of which will be explained later. The middle slide 23 is provided on its left rear with a tab 24. So that the slider 23 can be moved using the tab 24, the uppermost slider 25 is provided with a lateral recess 26.

Dasselbe gilt natürlich auch für den zuuntersten Schieber 21. Damit er mittels der Lasche 22 verschoben werden kann, weisen die beiden Schieber 23 und 25 auf der rechten Seite Aussparungen 26 auf.The same naturally also applies to the lowermost slide 21. So that it can be moved by means of the tab 22, the two slides 23 and 25 have cutouts 26 on the right side.

Der oberste Schieber 25 hat eine, in der Mitte angeordnete T-förmige Lasche 27. Sämtliche Schieber 21, 23, 25 haben vorne eine Griffaussparung 28, einen vorderen Anschlag 29 und rückseitige Anschläge 29', wie am besten in Figur 4 ersichtlich ist.The uppermost slide 25 has a T-shaped tab 27 arranged in the middle. All the slides 21, 23, 25 have a handle recess 28 at the front, a front stop 29 and rear stops 29 ', as can best be seen in FIG.

Die Griffe 30 sind unten mit einem kurzen Zapfen 31 versehen, der in die Bohrung 32 in dem zur breiten Gehäusewand parallel verlaufenden Teil der Laschen eingreift. Dadurch sind die Griffe ein wenig schwenkbar. Unten, an der Rückseite jedes Griffes ist ein nach unten ragender Arretierungsstift 33 angebracht. In Ruhelage, wenn der Schieber ganz in das Gehäuse zurückgezogen ist, greifen diese Stifte in eine seitliche Aussparung 16 am rückseitigen Ende der Nuten 15, beziehungsweise in eine seitliche Aussparung 16 des mittleren Schlitzes 14 ein. Dadurch sind die Schieber in Ruhestellung verriegelt. Eine in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellte Feder hält die Griffe in dieser Lage.The handles 30 are provided at the bottom with a short pin 31 which engages in the bore 32 in the part of the tabs running parallel to the wide housing wall. This allows the handles to be swiveled a little. At the bottom, at the rear of each handle, a downward locking pin 33 is attached. In the rest position, when the slide is fully retracted into the housing, these pins engage in a lateral recess 16 at the rear end of the grooves 15, or in a lateral recess 16 of the central slot 14. This locks the slide in the rest position. A spring, not shown in the drawing, holds the handles in this position.

Erst nach Vollführen einer geringen Schwenkbewegung, wie in Figur 2 beim linken Griff, gelangt der Arretierungsstift 33 in den Schlitz und kann nach vorne verschoben werden. In Figur 2 ist der linke Griff zuerst ein wenig im Uhrzeigersinn geschwenkt worden und hat über die Lasche 24 den mittleren Schieber 23 ein Stück weit aus der Öffnung 12 des Gehäuses 10 herausgeschoben. Damit die Griffe möglichst breit und griffig sind und trotzdem geschwenkt werden können, ist deren Seitenkontur - wo sie nebeneinander liegen - ein wenig gerundet.Only after completing a slight pivoting movement, as in FIG. 2 for the left handle, does the locking pin 33 enter the slot and can be moved forward. In FIG. 2, the left handle has first been pivoted a little clockwise and has pushed the middle slide 23 a little way out of the opening 12 of the housing 10 via the tab 24. So that the handles are as wide and easy to grip as possible and can still be swiveled, the side contour - where they lie next to each other - is a little rounded.

Es dürfte klar sein, dass in gleicher Anordnung nicht nur die obere Breitseite des Gehäuses mit Schlitzen 14, Nuten 15 und Griffen 30 versehen sein kann, sondern deren untere Breitseite. Dies erlaubt dann auf gleiche Weise sechs Schieber unterzubringen, die je für sich befestigt werden können, wie oben beschrieben.It should be clear that in the same arrangement not only the upper broad side of the housing is provided with slots 14, grooves 15 and handles 30 can be, but the lower broad side. This then allows six sliders to be accommodated in the same way, each of which can be attached separately, as described above.

In Figur 5 ist ein solches Behältnis mit sechs Schiebern dargestellt, bei der die Griffe mit einer Nummerierung auf einer Seite und - wie in Fig. 5 gezeigt- mit 4 - 6 auf der gegenüberliegenden Gehäuseseite bezeichnet sind. Ein Schieber 25 ist mittels des Griffes 5 ein Stück weit aus dem Gehäuse 10 herausgeschoben worden.Such a container with six slides is shown in FIG. 5, in which the handles are numbered on one side and - as shown in FIG. 5 - with 4 - 6 on the opposite side of the housing. A slide 25 has been pushed a little way out of the housing 10 by means of the handle 5.

Zusätzlich zu den Nummern auf den Griffen können auf der breiten Gehäusewand noch Etiketten 17 oder eine andere Beschriftung angebracht werden, damit nur der richtige Schieber betätigt wird. In Figur 5 hat der Schieber eine Kreditkarte K herausgeschoben, die dank der Aussparung 28 leicht herausgenommen werden kann. In Figur 5 ist das Behältnis noch mit einer zusätzlichen Klammer 40 versehen, mit deren Hilfe das Behältnis am Rand einer Westen- oder Rocktasche, oder in einer Damen-Handtasche gehalten werden kann. Die Klammer besteht aus einem Quersteg 41, der mittels federnd elastischen Stäben 42 an der Rückwand 11 gehalten ist.In addition to the numbers on the handles, labels 17 or other inscriptions can be attached to the wide housing wall so that only the correct slide is actuated. In Figure 5, the slider has pushed out a credit card K, which can be easily removed thanks to the recess 28. In FIG. 5, the container is also provided with an additional clip 40, with the aid of which the container can be held on the edge of a waistcoat or skirt pocket, or in a women's handbag. The clip consists of a cross piece 41 which is held on the rear wall 11 by means of resilient rods 42.

Bei der oben beschriebenen Ausführung sind die Schieber mittels Laschen betätigbar, die durch Schlitze in der Breitseite des Gehäuses herausragen. Dadurch ist das Fassungsvermögen des Behältnisses auf sechs Schieber mit Karten begrenzt. Werden die Laschen an der Schmalseite des Gehäuses, seitlich in der Ebene der Schieber selber hausgeführt, könnte man im Prinzip willkürlich viele Karten unterbringen. Bei allzuvielen Karten würde der Behälter aber recht unhandlich werden.In the embodiment described above, the slide can be actuated by means of tabs which protrude through slots in the broad side of the housing. As a result, the capacity of the container is limited to six sliders with cards. If the tabs on the narrow side of the housing, on the side in the level of the slider itself, are managed in house, you could in principle arbitrarily accommodate many cards. If there were too many cards, the container would be rather unwieldy.
