Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Aufnahmeelement für Scheckkarten gemäß Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a receiving element for credit cards according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aus der EP 0 121 598 B1 ist eine Schutzhülle für eine Scheckkarte oder dergleichen bekannt, von der die vorliegende Erfindung ausgeht. Diese bekannte Schutzhülle ist ein Aufnahmeelement aus biegesteifem Kunststoffmaterial zur Aufnahme wenigstens einer rechteckigen Karte, insbesondere Scheckkarte, Automatenkarte, Kreditkarte und dergleichen, vorzugsweise mit Magnetstreifencode, mit einem nur zur einen Stirnseite der Schutzhülle offenen Aufnahmeraum für die Karte. Dieses bekannte Aufnahmeelement ist ein einstückiges Kunststoffspritzteil welches an seien flachen Seiten - der Rückseite und der Vorderseite - Halteöffnungen hat, durch die der den Aufnahmeraum beim Spritzvorgang bildende Schieber gehalten werden kann. Dadurch ist es möglich, ein derartiges flaches Aufnahmeelment für Scheckkarten oder dergleichen sehr dünnwandig aus Kunststoff in einem Arbeitsgang zu spritzen.A protective cover for a credit card or the like is known from EP 0 121 598 B1, from which the present invention is based. This known protective cover is a receiving element made of rigid plastic material for receiving at least one rectangular card, in particular check card, automatic card, credit card and the like, preferably with a magnetic stripe code, with a receiving space for the card that is only open to one end of the protective cover. This known receiving element is a one-piece plastic injection-molded part which, on its flat sides - the rear and the front - has holding openings through which the slide which forms the receiving space during the injection molding process can be held. This makes it possible to inject such a flat receiving element for credit cards or the like from a very thin wall of plastic in one operation.

Ausgehend von diesem bekannten Aufnahmeelement liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, mit möglichst einfachen Mitteln an dem Aufnahmeelement eine Halterung für Belege, Zettel oder dergleichen auszubilden.Starting from this known receiving element, the object of the invention is to form a holder for receipts, notes or the like with the simplest possible means on the receiving element.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erhält man durch die im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale. Die Rückseite des Aufnahmeelements ist Teil eines einstückigen Kunststoffspritzteils und besitzt somit eine gewisse Flexibilität. Ein Teilbereich der flexiblen Rückseite wird als Haltezunge zum Festklemmen von Belegen oder dergleichen ausgebildet. Es ist also nicht erforderlich, zusätzlich eine Klemmvorrichtung oder eine sonstige Halterung an dem Aufnahmeelement anzubringen, sondern es genügt eine Haltezunge auszusparen die zum Aufstecken eines Beleges geringfügig federnd nach außen gebogen wird. Nach der Entnahme des Beleges federt die Haltezunge aufgrund ihrer Elastizität wieder in die Ausgangsposition zurück. Es lassen sich somit ein oder mehrere Kaufbelege, Merkzettel oder dergleichen an der Rückseite des Aufnahmeelements festklemmen, wodurch eine Zuordnung der Belege zur entsprechenden Scheckkarte gegeben ist. Die Belege müssen nach einem Einkauf auch nicht irgendwo in der Handtasche oder in der Brieftasche zusammengesucht werden.The solution to this problem is obtained by the features specified in claim 1. The back of the receiving element is part of a one-piece plastic injection molded part and therefore has a certain flexibility. A portion of the flexible back is designed as a retaining tongue for clamping documents or the like. It is therefore not necessary to additionally attach a clamping device or another holder to the receiving element, but it is sufficient to leave out a retaining tongue which is bent slightly resiliently outward to put on a document. After the receipt has been removed, the retaining tongue springs back into the starting position due to its elasticity. One or more purchase receipts, notices or the like can thus be clamped on the back of the receiving element, so that the receipts are assigned to the corresponding check card. The receipts do not have to be found somewhere in the handbag or in the wallet after a purchase.

Das bevorzugte Aufnahmeelement ist als einstückiges Kunststoffspritzteil ausgebildet, dessen Haltezunge von einer in etwa U-förmigen Wanddurchbrechung an der Rückseite begrenzt ist. Es kann dabei ein verhältnismäßig biegesteifes Kunststoffmaterial verwendet werden, beispielsweise Polycarbonat. Als Material kann auch ABS Verwendung finden, welches ein spezielles Polystyrol ist.The preferred receiving element is designed as an integral plastic injection-molded part, the retaining tongue of which is delimited by an approximately U-shaped wall opening on the rear. A relatively rigid plastic material can be used, for example polycarbonate. ABS, which is a special polystyrene, can also be used as the material.

Um die am Fußpunkt der Haltezunge auftretenden Biegekräfte möglichst gleichmäßig in den angrenzenden Bereich der Rückseite des Aufnahmeelements einleiten zu können, ist zu beiden Seiten der Haltezunge eine vom Fußpunkt nach außen verlaufende, gerundete Wanddurchbrechung in der Rückseite ausgebildet. Dadurch wird verhindert, daß auch bei stärkerem Aufbiegen der Zunge keine irreversiblen Deformationen im Fußbereich auftreten. Die gerundete Wanddurchbrechung zu beiden Seiten der Haltezunge kann als Bogen oder als Loch mit einem Radius von beispielsweise 3 bis 4 mm ausgebildet sein.In order to be able to introduce the bending forces occurring at the base of the retaining tongue as evenly as possible into the adjacent area of the rear of the receiving element, a rounded wall opening running outward from the base of the base is formed on both sides of the retaining tongue. This prevents irreversible deformations in the foot area from occurring even when the tongue is bent open. The rounded wall opening on both sides of the retaining tongue can be designed as an arc or as a hole with a radius of, for example, 3 to 4 mm.

Damit ein festzuklemmender Beleg problemlos unter das freie Ende der Haltezunge geschoben und diese dabei federnd nach außen gebogen werden kann, ist der angrenzende Wandabschnitt an der Rückseite mit einer zur Haltezunge hin abfallenden Vertiefung versehen. Diese Vertiefung ist vorzugsweise breiter ausgebildet als die Haltezunge und übergreift diese seitlich.So that a document to be clamped can be easily pushed under the free end of the retaining tongue and this can be resiliently bent outwards, the adjoining wall section on the rear is provided with a recess that slopes towards the retaining tongue. This depression is preferably wider than the retaining tongue and overlaps it laterally.

Es ist ansich bekannt, an der Vorderseite von Aufnahmeelementen für Scheckkarten eine Grifföffnung auszubilden, durch die man mit dem Daumen auf die im Aufnahmeelement abgelegte Karte drücken und diese seitlich herausschieben kann. Gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist nun vorgesehen, daß an der Vorderseite des Aufnahmeelements eine Grifföffnung ausgespart ist, die die rückseitige Haltezunge wenigstens teilweise überlappt. Durch die überlappende Anordnung von Grifföffnung und Haltezunge ist es möglich, daß durch Druck durch die Grifföffnung die an der Rückseite befindliche Haltezunge nach außen gebogen werden kann. Dies ist auch bei eingelegter Karte problemlos möglich, da dann der Druck über die Karte auf die Haltezunge übertragen wird.It is known per se to form a handle opening on the front of receiving elements for check cards, through which one can press with the thumb on the card placed in the receiving element and slide it out to the side. According to a development of the invention, it is now provided that a handle opening is recessed on the front of the receiving element, which at least partially overlaps the rear holding tongue. Due to the overlapping arrangement of the handle opening and retaining tongue, it is possible that the retaining tongue located on the rear side can be bent outwards by pressure through the handle opening. This is also possible without any problems when the card is inserted, since the pressure is then transferred to the retaining tongue via the card.

Haltezunge und Grifföffnung sind vorzugsweise im unteren Bereich des Aufnahmeelements angeordnet, wobei das freie Ende der Haltezunge nach oben ausgerichtet ist. Der Magnetstreifen einer eingeschobenen Scheckkarte kann sich dann im oberen Bereich befinden und wird somit in keiner Weise durch die Grifföffnung oder die Benutzung der Haltezunge beeinträchtigt.Retaining tongue and handle opening are preferably arranged in the lower region of the receiving element, the free end of the retaining tongue being oriented upwards. The magnetic strip of an inserted credit card can then be located in the upper area and is therefore in no way impaired by the handle opening or the use of the holding tongue.

Die Aussparung, die um die Haltezunge verläuft und deren äußere Form bestimmt, dient gleichzeitig als Halteöffnung für den Schieber während des Spritzvorganges. Die gegenüberliegend angeordnete Grifföffnung bildet gleichermaßen eine Halteöffnung für den Schieber, so daß in diesem Bereich der Schieber absolut exakt während des Spritzvorganges gehalten werden kann.The recess that runs around the retaining tongue and determines its outer shape also serves as a holding opening for the slide during the spraying process. The opposite handle opening also forms a holding opening for the slide, so that in this area the slide can be held absolutely exactly during the spraying process.
