Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a card distribution assembly, particularly magnetic or electronic memory cards, as we know calling cards for example. More specifically, the invention relates to a distribution assembly of said cards where the assembly comprises a mainly rectangular case and surrounded by walls which receive and pack said cards which are positioned perpendicularly with respect to a longitudinal axis housing; the case being provided with a mouthpiece used for removing the cards one after the other from said case and where the case can be closed in order to transport the cards to places of use or distribution.
  • Known distribution assemblies consist of two shell parts of longitudinal halves. In order to fill such a case with cards, they must be place in one of the halves manually and then position the second part above then press and tighten the two shells forming a complete housing.
  • the known cases are manufactured with a special plastic material.
  • the cases will be secure for transportation to prevent anyone from can open or manipulate them to get out of the cards. Arrived at the places of destination of the blocking plates which close one of the mouths through which we will bring out the cards, should be broken, because such manipulation before putting the boxes in the machine distribution causes partial destruction and irreversible of such cases, they can not be used only once. Furthermore, given that they are made with non-recyclable plastic, they will be thrown away creating unwanted pollution.
  • European patent application no. 0 462 947 describes a set of distributors, in particular, of cards, made up of a cardboard box, made in one piece.
  • the invention provides a set of distribution of cards which no longer require manual filling but which on the other hand favors an automatic filling and above all which does not cause any nuisance to the environment.
  • the invention proposes a card distribution set comprising, a mainly rectangular case and surrounded by walls; the case being made in one piece, in a recyclable material that does not cause environmental pollution, and used to receive and pack the cards that are positioned perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the housing; the housing being provided with a mouthpiece serving to bring out the cards one after the other of said case and where the case can be closed in order to transport cards, said housing being intended to be adapted and fixed in at least one automated system card dispenser, characterized in that said set further includes an adapter interface provided with positioning and fixing means compliant inside the vending machine cards, and a central opening suitable for receiving the housing and also means for fixing said housing in this central opening.
  • the housing inventive has a fraud seal of a type that will make every manipulation or opening instantly detectable.
  • the inventive housing has at least one opening that allows control visible from the filling level by the cards or a control of the number of cards that have already been sold etc ...
  • the assembly according to the invention consists of a cardboard box which is one of the the most recyclable materials we know. And in practical, such a cardboard box satisfies all necessary stability and security conditions.
  • inventive cardboard box can be manufactured easily from a press (see detailed description) of pre-cut cardboard which can be stored easily.
  • a developed to manufacture a cardboard box 10 consists of a first wide longitudinal wall 12, a first wall narrow longitudinal 14, a second longitudinal wall wide 16, a second narrow longitudinal wall 18 and of a bonding part 20.
  • a first frontal part 22 and then the second front part 24 and the third front part will be folded towards the inside of the case 10.
  • a cover part front 28 completes the closing of a front face of the case 10 and said front face will be fixed in position by bending the tabs 30, which have been precut, towards inside the housing 10 until they touch the inner faces of parts 22, 24, 26 and until they stop in the lock slots 32 where the tabs 30 remain blocked.
  • a box 10 very robust with a very solid front face is formed of a cardboard plate. This is easy to cut, and may be stored as a single flat piece. Also a production of housings 10 according to the invention could be made by automata without requiring a great effort from machines.
  • FIG. 1 also illustrates openings 34 which allow a check of the inside of the housing 10.
  • they are in the second wall longitudinal wide 16.
  • openings 34 which allow a check of the inside of the housing 10.
  • they are in the second wall longitudinal wide 16.
  • FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of a housing 10 made of a press according to figure 1 and already filled by cards 46.
  • cards 46 see FIG. 4 because that a front face of the housing 10 is closed, they have been placed in the housing 10 through the front opening 38 (see Figure 4) of the housing 10.
  • FIG. 4 we can also see in Figure 2 that we closed the front opening 38 after the filling the cards 46 with a front cover 40 (see figure 4) which is placed above the last card 46.
  • the housing 10 is secured with a belt 44 which by being placed in the openings 36 (see also Figure 1) of the housing 10- fixes the front cover 40 and certainly all the cards 46 in the case 10.
  • a seal 42 as it will leave indelible marks on the box 10 in case of opening or handling is also used as a security measure because it is placed on the side between the first wall longitudinal longitudinal 12 and the second narrow wall 18. This corresponds to the side that is created if the second wall narrow 18 is glued on part 20.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates an adapter interface 50 which facilitates the adaptation of a housing 10 according to Figure 4 to a distribution machine / automaton as it was described above.
  • the adapter interface 50 consists mainly a neck which forms a central opening 52 suitable for receive the housing and a base face 54 which is more or less a frame with a central opening 56.
  • a sliding means (not illustrated) of the dispensing machine can act on the cards in the housing 10 and take them out towards a slot 58 in the frame of the base face 54.
  • case 10 is provided with two mouthpieces 68 (see FIG. 1) which are formed in the walls 14 and 18 by the different lengths of the walls narrow 14, 18 relative to the wide walls 12 and 16. These two mouths 68 do not require any orientation particular of the housing 10 by placing it in the interface 50. Moreover, it is obvious that according to the sequence of Figures 4 and 5 as the adapter interface 50 of Figure 5 will be mounted above the housing 10 prepared according to the figure 4.
  • the base face 54 is provided with several positioning tabs 60. These cleats 60 are used (see Figure 7) to correctly position the sets of housings 10 and adapter interfaces 50 in a vending machine which we see in figure 7 a positioning plate (no longer referenced).
  • the adapter interface 50 there are two springs 64, of which only one is seen in FIG. 5, and a stirrup 62 in the shape of a "U" with a small ball, by example, above.
  • This stirrup 62 can be pulled away from the springs 64-until they can be put in the openings 36 which, according to FIGS. 2 and 3, were used to receive the belt 44.
  • the adapter interface 50 the bracket 62 will preferably be made of a light metal material or a solid plastic.
  • a piece of weight 66 may be placed above the cards in the case 10 and before placing the stirrup 62 in the openings 36 (see FIG. 6).
  • Figure 8 shows a box 70, preferably made of transparent plastic, the interior of which conforms to the size of the cards and which can receive a predetermined number of cards, in the case where a housing 10 (see Figure 9) according to the invention is only used for card packaging. In this case, the boxes 70 are easily placed in the housing 10 as illustrated in FIG. 9.
  • each box 70 is provided with a cover 72 and a tongue 74 which can determine the closing of the cover 72 by fixing itself to the box 70 or by being fixed there by adhesive tape for example.
  • the boxes 10 and / or the boxes 70 can be colored or marked in different ways.
