Definitions

  • the invention relates to a holder for a credit card or the like, comprising a rectangular sheet-like upper part and a rectangular sheet-like lower part extending at a short distance from and parallel to said upper part, which parts along three of their sides are interconnected by edge portions extending perpendicularly to the plane of the upper part and the lower part.
  • the holder according to the invention is characterized by means for clamping a credit card or the like positioned in said holder.
  • a preferred embodiment of the holder according to the invention is characterized in that the upper part and the lower part at their sides extending perpendicularly to said side not having an edge portion, inwardly comprise projections, wherein the projections of the upper part and the lower part are mutually displaced.
  • a credit card or the like positioned in the holder is slightly curved, and the internal resiliency of this curved credit card enables an adequate clamping of this credit card in the holder.
  • the projections are mutually displaced in the longitudinal direction of the sides comprising the projections.
  • the one sheet-like part comprises at each of said sides two projections, wherein the other sheet-like part comprises at each of said sides one projection, said one projection being positioned substantially half way both corresponding projections of the one sheet-like part.
  • the projections at least parallel to the corresponding sides extend in a convex way, positioning of the credit card or the like in the holder is very simple, because the projections extending in a convex way assure an adequate guiding of the ends of the credit card.
  • a further handy embodiment of the holder according to the invention is characterized in that the other sheet like part at its side not comprising an edge portion and acting as an insertion opening, comprises a number of elevations. It is preferred that it comprises four elevations regularly distributed about said side.
  • the holder at its side not comprising an edge portion is bevelled such, that the one sheet-like part slightly projects relative to the other sheet-like part.
  • both sheet-like parts comprise a grip opening at their sides not comprising an edge portion.
  • the holder for a credit card or the like shown in fig. 1 comprises a rectangular sheet-like upper part 1 and a rectangular sheet-like lower part 2 extending at a short distance from and parallel to said upper part 1.
  • the upper part 1 and the lower part 2 are at three of their sides mutually interconnected by edge portions 3 extending perpendicularly to their planes.
  • the side of the holder not comprising an edge portion forms an insertion opening 4, through which a credit card or the like can be inserted.
  • the holder is bevelled.
  • the upper part 1 is bevelled at this side, so that this upper part 1 projects less far than the lower part 2.
  • the upper part 1 as well as the lower part 2 comprise at the insertion opening 4 a grip opening 5.
  • a credit card or the like positioned in the holder can be caught with the fingers.
  • the holder comprises a number of means for clamping a credit card or the like positioned in the holder. These means are visible in fig. 2 and 3, showing a separate lower part 2 (fig. 2) and a separate upper part 1 (fig. 3).
  • edge portions 3 of the holder are composed of edge portions 6-8 of the lower part 2 and edge portions 9-11 of the upper part 1.
  • the position of the edge portions 6-8 and the edge portions 9-11 is such, that upon combining the upper part 1 with the lower part 2 the edge portions 9-11 enclose the edge portions 6-8.
  • edge portions 6-8 of the lower part 2 are provided with local elevations that simplify the interconnection of the upper part 1 with the lower part 2 using a welding technique.
  • the lower part 2 comprises at the edge portions 6 and 8 two projections 14, 15 and 16, 17, respectively.
  • the upper part 1 comprises at the edge portions 9 and 11 a projection 18 and 19, respectively.
  • the position of these projections 18 and 19 is chosen such, that after joining the upper part 1 and the lower part 2 these projections are positioned substantially half way both corresponding projections 16, 17 and 14, 15, respectively, of the lower part 2.
  • the projections of the lower part 2 and the projections of the upper part 1 always need to be mutually displaced in the longitudinal direction of the edge portions 9 and 11 to obtain the right effect. Due to this displaced position a credit card or the like introduced in the holder obtains a curved shape resulting in a firm hold of this credit card or the like in the holder.
  • the shape of the projections 14-19 is such, that, parallel to the edge portions 6, 8 and 9, 11 respectively, they extend in a convex way. As a result these projections guide the end of a credit card or the like in a correct way.
  • the projections 18 and 19 are slightly distanced from the edge portions 9 and 11. This distance is necessary for enabling the placement of the edge portions 6 and 8 of the lower part 2 inside the edge portions 9 and 11 of the upper part 1.
  • the upper part 1 comprises at its side not having an edge portion, thus at the insertion opening 4, a number of elevations 20.
  • four elevations, that are equaly distributed over said side are provided.
  • These elevations 20, which are dot shaped and which have rounded ends, prevent a credit card to contact the free side of the upper part 1 during introducing said credit card into the holder. This would be a disadvan­tage if the credit card is provided with a magnetic strip, that could be damaged due to the contact with said free side.
  • Keeping the credit card free from said free side of the lower part 2 is carried out by the projections 14 and 16.
  • the position of the elevations 20 is such, that they do not coincide with the position of the magnetic strip of the credit card.
  • the lower part 2 further comprises an additional projection 21, that is provided at the edge portion 7. This projection 21 too promotes clamping the credit card in the holder.
