Description

ETUI DE PROTECTION D'UNE CARTE DE CREDIT OU ANALOGUE  CASE FOR PROTECTING A CREDIT CARD OR THE LIKE
La présente invention a pour objet un étui de protection d'une ou de plusieurs cartes de crédit ou analogue. The present invention relates to a protective case of one or more credit cards or the like.
Une carte de crédit ou analogue consiste en une plaque de matière plastique aux dimensions normalisées, à savoir 85,60 x 53,98 mm, présentant des inscriptions réalisées par embossage, et qui comporte généralement une piste magnétique et/ou une puce électronique.  A credit card or the like consists of a plastic plate with standard dimensions, namely 85.60 x 53.98 mm, having inscriptions made by embossing, and which generally comprises a magnetic strip and / or an electronic chip.
Du fait de sa relative souplesse et de la présence d'une piste magnétique et/ou une puce électronique, il est préférable de stocker la carte dans un endroit protégé, afin qu'elle ne soit pas endommagée et puisse rester fonctionnelle.  Because of its relative flexibility and the presence of a magnetic strip and / or an electronic chip, it is preferable to store the card in a protected place, so that it is not damaged and can remain functional.
Ainsi de manière habituelle une carte de crédit ou analogue est conservée dans un porte-cartes ou un portefeuille, ce qui implique de devoir transporter un porte-cartes ou un portefeuille, ce qui n'est toujours possible.  Thus usually a credit card or the like is kept in a card holder or wallet, which involves having to carry a card holder or wallet, which is still possible.
Pour pallier cet inconvénient, il a été proposé des étuis rigides de protection d'une carte de crédit ou analogue, les plus simples consistant en une enveloppe plate, comprenant deux parois parallèles entre lesquelles est ménagé un espace destiné à loger la carte à protéger, et munie à une extrémité d'une ouverture permettant l'insertion ou l'extraction de ladite carte, l'une desdites parois comportant une lumière par laquelle l'utilisateur peut du doigt pousser ladite carte pour en réaliser l'extraction. Un tel étui est par exemple décrit dans le document EP 0 677 257.  To overcome this drawback, it has been proposed rigid cases for protecting a credit card or the like, the simplest consisting of a flat envelope, comprising two parallel walls between which is provided a space for housing the card to protect, and provided at one end with an opening for insertion or extraction of said card, one of said walls having a light by which the user can finger push said card to perform the extraction. Such a case is for example described in document EP 0 677 257.
On connaît également des étuis comprenant deux parties, dont l'une qui contient la carte, coulisse dans l'autre à la manière d'un tiroir. Un tel étui est par exemple décrit dans le document FR 2 893 233.  Boxes comprising two parts, one of which contains the card, are also known to slide in the other in the manner of a drawer. Such a case is for example described in document FR 2 893 233.
Quel que soit l'étui proposé, il pose le problème de l'intégrité physique de la carte qu'il contient. En effet, que la carte soit dans un étui conforme à celui du document EP 0 677 257 ou dans un étui conforme à celui du document FR 2 893 233, il est nécessaire, pour la retenir dans son logement, d'exercer une pression dans le sens de l'épaisseur de la carte, et en réalité en s 1 appuyant sur ses reliefs issus de l'embossage, avec pour inconvénient qu'à la longue cela risque d'endommager la carte. Dans le document FR 2 893 233 cette pression est exercée par une ondulation, dans le sens transversal, du tiroir qui contient la carte, tandis que dans le document EP 0 677 257 , cette pression est exercée par des nervures longitudinales internes . Whatever the case, it poses the problem of the physical integrity of the card it contains. Indeed, that the card is in a holster conforming to that of the document EP 0 677 257 or in a holster conforming to that of the document FR 2 893 233, it is necessary, in order to retain it in its housing, to exercise a pressure in the direction of the thickness of the card, and in fact s 1 relying on its embossed reliefs, with the disadvantage that in the long run it may damage the card. In the document FR 2 893 233 this pressure is exerted by a corrugation, in the transverse direction, of the drawer which contains the card, whereas in the document EP 0 677 257, this pressure is exerted by internal longitudinal ribs.
Un autre inconvénient des étuis de protection d'une carte de crédit ou analogue est que ceux-ci sont prévus pour le stockage d'une seule carte, alors qu'il est fréquent d'en posséder plus d'une. Les documents précités ne sont pas prévus pour une adaptation autorisant le stockage de plus d'une carte.  Another disadvantage of protective cases of a credit card or the like is that they are intended for the storage of a single card, while it is common to have more than one. The aforementioned documents are not intended for adaptation allowing the storage of more than one card.
Il existe des étuis permettant de stocker plusieurs cartes, ils consistent chacun en un boîtier présentant un logement dans lequel les cartes sont empilées.  There are cases for storing several cards, each consisting of a housing having a housing in which the cards are stacked.
Pour pallier cet inconvénient, il a été proposé des étuis susceptibles de contenir plus d'une carte, c'est par exemple le cas des étuis décrits dans les documents WO 96/ 1832 0 et EP 0 287 532 . Ces étuis consistent chacun en un boîtier présentant un logement dans lequel les cartes sont empilées.  To overcome this drawback, it has been proposed cases likely to contain more than one card, this is for example the case of the cases described in WO 96/1832 and EP 0 287 532. These cases each consist of a housing having a housing in which the cards are stacked.
Dans le document WO 96/ 1832 0 , l'étui permet de loger deux cartes, dont l'extraction est réalisée manuellement au travers d'une lumière pratiquée dans chacune des parois de l'étui, de manière similaire à ce qui est prévu dans le document EP 0 677 257 .  In the document WO 96/1832 0, the case accommodates two cards, the extraction of which is carried out manually through a light made in each of the walls of the case, in a manner similar to that provided for in EP 0 677 257.
Le but d'un étui étant principalement la protection, le fait qu'il comporte une ou plusieurs lumières ne lui permet de remplir totalement sa fonction.  The purpose of a case is mainly protection, the fact that it has one or more lights does not allow it to fully perform its function.
Dans le document EP 0 2 87 532 , il est proposé un étui dans lequel plusieurs cartes sont empilées, et qui comporte au niveau de son fond un levier mobile, manœuvrable depuis l'extérieur, dont la partie destinée à venir au contact des cartes est étagée, en sorte qu'en un seul mouvement toutes les cartes sortent de manière décalée. Là encore, les cartes peuvent être endommagées car elles sont au contact les unes contre les autres. De plus, après prélèvement d'une carte intermédiaire, sa remise en place est peu aisée, puisque cela nécessite d'écarter les cartes qui bordent son emplacement. In the document EP 0 2 87 532, there is provided a case in which several cards are stacked, and which comprises at its bottom a movable lever, operable from the outside, the part intended to come into contact with the cards is staggered, so that in one movement all the cards come off. Again, cards may be damaged because they are in contact with each other other. In addition, after removal of an intermediate card, it is not easy to put back in place, since it requires the cards that border its location to be discarded.
On connaît également par le document US 2005/224149, un distributeur de cartes, comprenant un boîtier constitué de deux parties assemblées par coulissement, sur les bords latéraux internes duquel sont ménagés des rebords parallèles destinés à servir de coulisses à des cartes, lesquelles peuvent en être extraites par coulissement après actionnement d'un poussoir. Ce dispositif consiste plus en un distributeur qu'un étui, et est très volumineux, notamment du fait du mécanisme d'extraction des cartes .  Also known from US 2005/224149, a card dispenser, comprising a housing consisting of two parts assembled by sliding, on the inner side edges of which are formed parallel edges intended to serve as slides to cards, which can in be extracted by sliding after actuation of a pusher. This device consists more of a dispenser than a case, and is very bulky, especially because of the card extraction mechanism.
La présente invention a pour but de proposer un étui de protection d'une ou de plusieurs cartes de crédit ou analogue, permettant de remédier aux divers inconvénients précités, en étant notamment de conception simple, et sans risque d ' endommagement .  The present invention aims to provide a protective case of one or more credit cards or the like, to overcome the various aforementioned drawbacks, including being simple in design, and without risk of damage.
L'étui de protection d'une ou de plusieurs cartes de crédit ou analogue selon l'invention se présente sous la forme d'une enveloppe plate, comprenant deux parois parallèles entre lesquelles est ménagé un espace destiné à loger la carte à protéger, et munie à une extrémité d'une ouverture permettant l'insertion ou l'extraction de ladite carte, et il se caractérise essentiellement en ce qu'il comprend au moins deux parties comprenant chacune l'une desdites deux parois parallèles, et en ce que l'une desdites au moins deux parties est montée coulissante sur l'autre, et est conformée pour loger et retenir ladite carte, et comporte à cet effet un logement dans lequel peut coulisser une carte, ledit logement comprenant d'une part latéralement un moyen réversible de serrage de ladite carte, permettant d'y maintenir celle-ci, et d'autre part présentant une ouverture par laquelle peut être extraite ladite carte par coulissement, après coulissement de ladite partie contenant ladite carte.  The protective case of one or more credit cards or the like according to the invention is in the form of a flat envelope, comprising two parallel walls between which is formed a space intended to house the card to be protected, and provided at one end with an opening for insertion or extraction of said card, and is essentially characterized in that it comprises at least two parts each comprising one of said two parallel walls, and in that one of said at least two parts is slidably mounted on the other, and is shaped to house and retain said card, and comprises for this purpose a housing in which a card can slide, said housing comprising on the one hand laterally reversible means clamping said card, to maintain it, and secondly having an opening by which can be extracted said card by sliding, after sliding said portion containing t said card.
Selon une caractéristique additionnelle de l'étui de protection selon l'invention, la partie montée coulissante sur l'autre est conformée pour que la carte qu'elle contient ne puisse pas venir au contact de l'autre partie, et à cet effet le logement destiné à contenir ladite carte présente d'une part des dimensions transversales permettant de loger ladite carte avec une certaine tolérance, d'autre part sur les deux bords perpendiculaires à celui disposé du côté de ladite extrémité munie d'une ouverture des saillies, aptes à recouvrir les bords de ladite carte en sorte de retenir ladite carte et permettre son coulissement, et qui sont d'une épaisseur sensiblement supérieure à celle des reliefs issus de l'embossage que comporte ladite carte. According to an additional characteristic of the protective case according to the invention, the part mounted sliding on the other is shaped so that the card it contains can not come into contact with the other party, and for this purpose the housing intended to contain said card has on the one hand transverse dimensions for accommodating said card with a certain tolerance, on the other hand on the two edges perpendicular to that disposed on the side of said end provided with an opening of the projections, capable of covering the edges of said card so as to retain said card and allow it to slide, and are of a thickness substantially greater than that of the reliefs resulting from the embossing that includes said card.
On comprendra que dans l'étui, la carte est installée dans le logement, immobilisée par le moyen réversible de serrage, parfaitement protégée, et que les seules portions de la carte en contact avec la matière dont est fait l'étui consiste en sa face arrière qui est en contact avec le fond du logement, les deux bords latéraux de la face avant, avec la face inférieure des saillies, en sorte qu'il n'y a pas de risque d ' endommagement .  It will be understood that in the case, the card is installed in the housing, immobilized by the reversible clamping means, perfectly protected, and that the only portions of the card in contact with the material of which the case is made is in its face. back which is in contact with the bottom of the housing, the two side edges of the front face, with the underside of the projections, so that there is no risk of damage.
En pratique, l'utilisateur fait coulisser les deux parties de l'étui l'une par rapport à l'autre, ce qui lui donne un accès à la carte, qu'il peut alors faire coulisser dans le logement pour l'en extraire, en s 'opposant aux effets du moyen réversible de serrage.  In practice, the user slides the two parts of the holster relative to each other, which gives him access to the card, which he can then slide in the housing to extract it , opposing the effects of the reversible clamping means.
Selon une caractéristique additionnelle de l'étui de protection selon l'invention, chacune des au moins deux parties est conformée pour loger et retenir une carte en sorte que cette dernière ne puisse pas venir au contact de l'autre partie ou d'une autre carte, et à cet effet chacune desdites au moins deux parties comporte, du côté en regard de l'autre partie, un logement, ouvert du côté de ladite ouverture, qui présente d'une part des dimensions transversales permettant de loger une carte avec une certaine tolérance, d'autre par un moyen latéral réversible de serrage de ladite carte, permettant le maintien de celle-ci dans ledit logement. En pratique, lorsque l'étui est destiné à contenir deux cartes, l'utilisateur fait coulisser les deux parties de l'étui l'une par rapport à l'autre, ce qui lui donne un accès simultanément aux deux cartes, l'une d'un côté et l'autre de l'autre côté, il peut alors choisir de faire coulisser hors de son logement la carte de son choix. According to an additional feature of the protective case according to the invention, each of the at least two parts is shaped to accommodate and hold a card so that the latter can not come into contact with the other party or another card, and for this purpose each of said at least two parts comprises, on the opposite side of the other part, a housing, open on the side of said opening, which has on the one hand transverse dimensions for housing a card with a certain tolerance, other by a reversible lateral clamping means of said card, for maintaining it in said housing. In practice, when the case is intended to hold two cards, the user slides the two parts of the case relative to each other, which gives him access to both cards simultaneously, one on one side and the other on the other side, he can then choose to slide out of his home the card of his choice.
Selon une autre caractéristique additionnelle de l'étui de protection selon l'invention, il comporte trois parties, à savoir une partie médiane sur laquelle peuvent coulisser chacune des deux autres parties qui sont conformées pour contenir chacune une carte.  According to another additional feature of the protective case according to the invention, it comprises three parts, namely a middle part on which can slide each of the other two parts which are shaped to each contain a card.
Selon une autre caractéristique additionnelle de l'étui de protection selon l'invention, la partie médiane sur laquelle coulissent les deux autres parties, est conformée pour que chacune de ses faces puisse loger une carte.  According to another additional feature of the protective case according to the invention, the middle part on which the other two parts slide, is shaped so that each of its faces can accommodate a card.
Selon une caractéristique additionnelle de l'étui de protection selon l'invention, le coulissement d'une partie par rapport à une autre est obtenu au travers d'une liaison glissière, l'une des parties comportant deux rails ou analogues engagés chacun dans 1 ' une de deux gorges que comporte 1 ' autre partie.  According to an additional feature of the protective case according to the invention, the sliding of one part relative to another is obtained through a slide connection, one of the parts comprising two rails or the like each engaged in 1 one of two grooves that includes the other part.
Les rails ou analogues peuvent venir de fabrication, mais ils peuvent également être rapportés.  The rails or the like can come from manufacture, but they can also be reported.
Selon une autre caractéristique additionnelle de l'étui de protection selon l'invention, le coulissement d'une partie par rapport à une autre est obtenu au travers d'une liaison glissière, l'une des parties comportant deux gorges, disposées chacune en regard de l'une de deux gorges que comporte l'autre partie, tandis que des éléments intermédiaires de liaison, tels que des billes ou des rouleaux, sont engagés entre lesdites deux parties, dans deux gorges en regard.  According to another additional feature of the protective case according to the invention, the sliding of one part relative to another is obtained through a slide connection, one of the parts comprising two grooves, each arranged facing one of two grooves that includes the other part, while intermediate connecting elements, such as balls or rollers, are engaged between said two parts, in two opposite grooves.
On notera qu'il est possible de combiner les deux liaisons glissières précitées, à savoir une association rails et gorges, combinée avec une liaison glissière à billes ou à rouleaux, cette dernière servant alors essentiellement à garantir l'écart entre deux parties, de manière à protéger la carte. Note that it is possible to combine the two aforementioned slide links, namely a combination of rails and grooves, combined with a sliding ball or roller connection, the latter then serving essentially to guarantee the gap between two parties, so as to protect the card.
Selon une autre caractéristique additionnelle de l'étui de protection selon l'invention, l'une des deux parties comporte latéralement des nervures destinées à être emboîtées, avec possibilités de coulxssement longitudinal, dans des gorges pratiquées dans l'autre partie, chacune desdites gorges étant traversée par un axe ou analogue, apte à être engagé dans une ouverture oblongue longitudinale pratiquée dans la nervure.  According to another additional feature of the protective case according to the invention, one of the two parts laterally comprises ribs intended to be fitted, with longitudinal sliding possibilities, in grooves formed in the other part, each of said grooves. being traversed by an axis or the like, adapted to be engaged in an oblong longitudinal opening made in the rib.

Ces moyens d'indexage peuvent consister en des moyens magnétiques .  These indexing means may consist of magnetic means.
Selon une autre caractéristique additionnelle de l'étui de protection selon l'invention, il comporte des moyens d'assistance au coulxssement d'une partie par rapport à une autre partie.  According to another additional feature of the protective case according to the invention, it comprises means for assisting the casting of a part relative to another part.
De tels moyens d'assistance peuvent consister en des ressorts disposés en sorte de favoriser le coulxssement soit dans le sens du déploiement, associés à des moyens réversibles de blocage en position repliée, nécessaires pour éviter les ouvertures intempestives, soit dans le sens du repliement.  Such assistance means may consist of springs arranged so as to promote the coulxssement or in the direction of deployment, associated with reversible locking means in the folded position, necessary to avoid inadvertent openings, or in the direction of folding.
Selon une autre caractéristique additionnelle de l'étui de protection selon l'invention, il comporte des moyens mobiles d'éjection de la carte, dont la mobilité est asservie au coulxssement d'une partie par rapport à une autre.  According to another additional characteristic of the protective case according to the invention, it comprises mobile means for ejecting the card, the mobility of which is slaved to the coulxssement of one part relative to another.
Selon une autre caractéristique additionnelle de l'étui de protection selon l'invention, le logement d'une carte comporte du côté opposé à celui dédié à l'extraction, un levier contre lequel vient prendre appui ladite carte, monté pivotant sur la partie comprenant ledit logement, et apte à être entraîné en pivotement par une autre partie lors du coulxssement.  According to another additional feature of the protective case according to the invention, the housing of a card comprises the side opposite to that dedicated to the extraction, a lever against which is supported by said card, pivotally mounted on the part comprising said housing, and adapted to be pivoted by another party during the coulxssement.
L'étui de protection selon l'invention peut être réalisé dans des matériaux différents, aussi bien en matière plastique qu'en métal. Il a toutefois été conçu pour pouvoir être avant tout réalisé en métal, ce qui lui permet d'être d'une très faible épaisseur, même lorsqu'il est destiné à contenir plusieurs cartes. The protective case according to the invention can be made of different materials, both plastic than in metal. However, it was designed to be made primarily of metal, which allows it to be very thin, even when it is intended to contain multiple cards.
On notera que lorsqu'il est réalisé en métal, l'étui selon l'invention est de préférence équipé de différents moyens d'amortissement ou de patins permettant d'atténuer les bruits de glissement métal contre métal.  Note that when made of metal, the case according to the invention is preferably equipped with different damping means or pads for attenuating metal-to-metal sliding noise.
Selon une autre caractéristique additionnelle de l'étui de protection selon l'invention, les deux parois parallèles entre lesquelles est ménagé l'espace destiné à loger la carte à protéger, sont garnies et/ou constituées d'un matériau formant au niveau de chacune desdites parois une barrière apte à empêcher le passage d'ondes.  According to another additional feature of the protective case according to the invention, the two parallel walls between which is formed the space intended to house the card to be protected, are filled and / or made of a material forming at each level. said walls a barrier capable of preventing the passage of waves.
Selon une autre caractéristique additionnelle de l'étui de protection selon l'invention, il comporte des moyens de contact susceptibles d'être rendus inactifs, permettant de relier les deux barrières.  According to another additional feature of the protective case according to the invention, it comprises contact means capable of being rendered inactive, for connecting the two barriers.
Les avantages et les caractéristiques de l'étui de protection selon l'invention, ressortiront plus clairement de la description qui suit et qui se rapporte au dessin annexé, lequel en représente plusieurs modes de réalisation non limitatifs.  The advantages and characteristics of the protective case according to the invention will become more clearly apparent from the description which follows and which refers to the appended drawing, which represents several non-limiting embodiments thereof.

En référence aux figures 1 et 2, on peut voir un étui de protection 1 selon l'invention, destiné à contenir une carte de crédit ou analogue 2.  Referring to Figures 1 and 2, there can be seen a protective case 1 according to the invention for containing a credit card or the like 2.
On notera que la carte de crédit 2 comporte une face avant 20 et une face arrière 21, et que les inscriptions réalisées par em ossage et visibles sur la face avant 20 sont représentées de manière schématique sous la forme d'une surépaisseur 22 créant un rebord périphérique 23.  It will be noted that the credit card 2 comprises a front face 20 and a rear face 21, and that the inscriptions made by em osage and visible on the front face 20 are represented schematically in the form of an excess thickness 22 creating a flange device 23.
L'étui 1 comporte d'un côté une ouverture 10, et du côté opposé un fond 11. Il est constitué du rapprochement de deux parties 3 et 4, de forme générale plate, et conçues aptes à coopérer en coulissement l'une par rapport à l'autre.  The case 1 has on one side an opening 10, and on the opposite side a bottom 11. It consists of bringing together two parts 3 and 4, generally flat in shape, and designed to slide together relative to one another. to the other.
Ainsi, la partie 3 comporte sur trois côtés un rebord 30, également visible sur la figure 3, dont les deux segments opposés sont munis chacun extérieurement d'un rail 31, tandis que la partie 4 comporte sur trois côtés un rebord 40, dont les deux segments opposés sont munis chacun, du côté intérieur, d'une gorge 41, avec laquelle est destiné à coopérer l'un des rails 31.  Thus, the part 3 comprises on three sides a flange 30, also visible in FIG. 3, the two opposite segments of which are each provided with a rail 31 on the outside, while the portion 4 comprises on three sides a flange 40, whose two opposite segments are each provided, on the inside, with a groove 41, with which is intended to cooperate one of the rails 31.
Le rebord 30 délimite un logement 32 destiné à recevoir la carte 2 tout en permettant l'extraction de cette dernière par le quatrième côté non pourvu du rebord 30. Par ailleurs les deux segments opposés du rebord 30 sont munis, du côté interne de ce dernier, de saillies 33 qui s'étendent au-dessus des bords 23 de la carte 2. The flange 30 delimits a housing 32 for receiving the card 2 while allowing the extraction of the latter by the fourth side not provided with the flange 30. Moreover, the two opposite segments of the flange 30 are provided on the inner side of this last, protrusions 33 which extend above the edges 23 of the card 2.
En référence plus précisément à la figure 3, on peut constater que le rebord 30 est d'une hauteur, de préférence, légèrement supérieure à l'épaisseur de la carte 2, que la saillie 33 est d'épaisseur supérieure à l'épaisseur du bossage 22, et de largeur inférieure à la largeur du bord 23.  Referring more specifically to Figure 3, it can be seen that the rim 30 is of a height, preferably slightly greater than the thickness of the card 2, the projection 33 is thicker than the thickness of the boss 22, and width less than the width of the edge 23.
En pratique, l'utilisateur fait coulisser dans un premier temps la partie 3 dans la partie 4, ce qui lui permet d'accéder à la carte 2, qu'il peut alors faire coulisser hors de la partie 3.  In practice, the user initially slides part 3 in part 4, which allows him to access card 2, which he can then slide out of part 3.
Du fait des caractéristiques dimensionnelles de la partie 3, la carte 2, et plus particulièrement l'embossage 22 de celle- ci, n'est jamais en contact avec la partie 4, ce qui permet de le ménager.  Because of the dimensional characteristics of the part 3, the card 2, and more particularly the embossing 22 thereof, is never in contact with the part 4, which allows to spare it.
De manière avantageuse, afin d'éviter que la carte 2 ne coulisse inopinément de la partie 32, il est prévu des moyens latéraux d'immobilisation, consistant par exemple en un ou plusieurs bossages disposés sur la face interne des rebords 30, sous les saillies, permettant de bloquer suffisamment, de manière réversible, la carte 2. Selon le mode de fabrication de l'étui, et la matière dont il est fait, ces moyens d'immobilisation peuvent venir de moulage ou bien consister en des pièces rapportées.  Advantageously, in order to prevent the card 2 from sliding unexpectedly from the portion 32, there are provided lateral immobilization means, consisting for example of one or more bosses disposed on the inner face of the flanges 30, under the projections , to sufficiently block reversibly the card 2. Depending on the method of manufacture of the case, and the material of which it is made, these immobilizing means may come from molding or consist of inserts.
On notera que de la même manière il est prévu des moyens empêchant le coulissement inopiné de la partie 3 par rapport à la partie 4.  It should be noted that in the same manner there are provided means preventing the unexpected sliding of the part 3 with respect to the part 4.
En référence maintenant à la figure 4a, on peut voir une variante de l'étui de protection selon l'invention, et plus particulièrement en ce qu'elle permet de stocker deux cartes 2, tout en ne comportant que deux pièces.  Referring now to Figure 4a, we can see a variant of the protective case according to the invention, and more particularly in that it allows to store two cards 2, while having only two pieces.
A cet effet, la partie 3 est identique à celle des figures 1, 2 et 3, par contre, le rebord 40 de la partie 4 est configuré en sorte de créer, au droit du logement 32, un logement 42 permettant de loger une seconde carte 2, qui présente les mêmes caractéristiques dimensionnelles que le logement 32, à savoir qu'il est d'une profondeur légèrement supérieure à l'épaisseur de la carte 2, et qu'il est bordée de saillies 43 d'épaisseur supérieure à l'épaisseur de l'embossage 22. For this purpose, the part 3 is identical to that of Figures 1, 2 and 3, however, the flange 40 of the part 4 is configured so as to create, right of the housing 32, a housing 42 for housing a second card 2, which has the same dimensional characteristics as the housing 32, namely it is of a depth slightly greater than the thickness of the card 2, and is lined with projections 43 of greater thickness than the thickness of the embossing 22.
On peut constater que les deux cartes 2, ne peuvent pas entrer en contact l'une avec l'autre, et qu'il n'y a ainsi pas de risque d ' endommagement des cartes 2.  It can be seen that the two cards 2 can not come into contact with each other, and that there is thus no risk of damaging the cards 2.
Comme on peut également le comprendre sur la figure 5, l'ouverture permettant extraction de la carte 2 contenue dans la partie 4, est réalisée du côté de l'étui 1 opposé à celui dans lequel est réalisée l'ouverture permettant l'extraction de la carte 2 contenue dans la partie 3. Ainsi, lorsque l'on fait coulisser les parties 3 et 4 l'une sur l'autre, on rend simultanément accessibles les deux cartes.  As can also be understood in FIG. 5, the opening allowing extraction of the card 2 contained in the part 4, is carried out on the side of the case 1 opposite to that in which is made the opening allowing the extraction of the card 2 contained in part 3. Thus, when the parts 3 and 4 are slid on one another, the two cards are made simultaneously accessible.
On notera que sur les figures, il n'est représenté que le cas où le coulissement d'une carte est réalisé selon le sens longitudinal de celle-ci, mais bien entendu il est possible de concevoir des étuis où le coulissement est réalisé dans l'autre sens .  Note that in the figures, it is shown only the case where the sliding of a card is made in the longitudinal direction thereof, but of course it is possible to design cases where the sliding is achieved in the 'other way .
En référence maintenant à la figure 4b, on peut voir une autre variante, qui elle aussi permet de stocker deux cartes 2.  Referring now to Figure 4b, we can see another variant, which also allows to store two cards 2.
Selon cette variante, l'étui comporte trois pièces, à savoir une partie médiane 5 et deux parties 3, telles que décrites précédemment. La partie médiane 5 se présente comme deux parties 4 assemblées dos à dos, c'est-à-dire qu'elle comporte sur chacune de ses faces, sur trois côtés un rebord 50, dont les deux segments opposés sont munis chacun, du côté intérieur, d'une gorge 51, avec laquelle est destiné à coopérer l'un des rails 31 de la partie 3.  According to this variant, the case comprises three parts, namely a median part 5 and two parts 3, as described above. The median part 5 is presented as two parts 4 assembled back to back, that is to say that it has on each of its faces, on three sides a rim 50, the two opposite segments are each provided, the side interior, of a groove 51, with which is intended to cooperate one of the rails 31 of part 3.
Dans cette variante, les parties 3 peuvent coulisser, par rapport à la partie médiane 5, dans le même sens ou dans des sens opposés. On peut même imaginer que les parties 3 puissent coulisser dans deux sens différents, à savoir perpendiculaires.  In this variant, the parts 3 can slide, relative to the middle part 5, in the same direction or in opposite directions. One can even imagine that the parts 3 can slide in two different directions, namely perpendicular.
On notera qu'il est possible de réaliser une assistance au coulissement. On peut ainsi constater sur cette figure 4b, la présence de ressorts R enfermés dans un logement 34 pratiqué dans le rebord 30, et permettant d'assister le coulissement. cette assistance pouvant être réalisée, selon les besoins à l'ouverture ou, mais de préférence, à la fermeture. Note that it is possible to perform sliding assistance. It can thus be seen in this Figure 4b, the presence of springs R enclosed in a housing 34 formed in the flange 30, and to assist the sliding. this assistance can be performed, according to the needs at the opening or, but preferably, the closing.
On notera également qu'il est possible de réaliser une assistance au coulissement, au moyen d'un ressort, sur un étui du type de celui représenté sur les figures 4a et 5, et ne comportant que deux pièces. Dans ce cas, le ou les ressorts fonctionnent en rappel à la fermeture, tandis que les parties 3 et 4 comportent chacune une butée destinée à coopérer avec la carte contenue dans, respectivement le logement 42 et 32, en sorte que lors du coulissement ces butées glissent sur les cartes pour venir se placer derrière celles-ci, et que lors de la fermeture, sous l'effet du ou des ressorts, elles provoquent l'extraction desdites cartes.  Note also that it is possible to perform a sliding assistance, by means of a spring on a holster of the type shown in Figures 4a and 5, and having only two parts. In this case, the spring or springs function in return on closing, while the parts 3 and 4 each comprise a stop intended to cooperate with the card contained in respectively the housing 42 and 32, so that during sliding these stops slide on the cards to be placed behind these, and that during closure, under the effect of the spring or springs, they cause the extraction of said cards.
En référence maintenant à la figure 4c, on peut voir une variante permettant de stocker quatre cartes 2. Il s'agit en fait d'une version double de celle représentée à la figure 4a, où une partie médiane 5 comporte également deux logements 52.  Referring now to FIG. 4c, one can see a variant making it possible to store four cards 2. It is in fact a double version of that represented in FIG. 4a, where a median part 5 also comprises two housings 52.
En référence maintenant aux figures 4d et 4g, on peut voir un étui 1 permettant de stocker une seule carte 2, où la partie 3 comporte, parallèlement au rail 31, un évidement 35 contenant des billes B sur la figure 4d et des rouleaux A sur la figure 4g, aptes à rouler contre la partie 4 en vue de faciliter le coulissement.  Referring now to Figures 4d and 4g, there can be seen a case 1 for storing a single card 2, where the portion 3 comprises, parallel to the rail 31, a recess 35 containing balls B in Figure 4d and rollers A on Figure 4g, able to roll against the part 4 to facilitate sliding.
En référence maintenant aux figures 4e et 4f, on peut voir un étui 1 permettant de stocker une seule carte 2, où le rail est remplacé par une gorge 36, tandis que la liaison avec la gorge 41 de la partie 4 est réalisée au moyen de bille B sur la figure 4e, et par des rouleaux A sur la figure 4f.  Referring now to Figures 4e and 4f, there can be seen a case 1 for storing a single card 2, where the rail is replaced by a groove 36, while the connection with the groove 41 of the part 4 is achieved by means of ball B in Figure 4e, and by rollers A in Figure 4f.
En référence maintenant aux figures 4h et 4i, on peut voir des variantes concernant le système de coulissement de la partie 3 sur la partie 4. Ainsi, la partie 3 comporte, en regard de la partie 4, des lumières longitudinales 37 parallèles au sens du coulissement, dans chacune desquelles est engagé un pion 44 solidaire de la partie 4.  Referring now to Figures 4h and 4i, we can see variations on the sliding system of the part 3 on the part 4. Thus, the part 3 comprises, opposite the part 4, longitudinal slots 37 parallel to the direction of the sliding, in each of which is engaged a pin 44 secured to the part 4.
Dans la variante de la figure 4h, les pions 44 sont solidarisés à la partie 4 après mise en place de la partie 3, en passant par les lumières 37, tandis que dans la variante de la figure 4i, les pions 44 viennent de fabrication de la partie 4 et sont engagés à force dans les lumières 37. In the variant of Figure 4h, the pins 44 are secured to the part 4 after introduction of the part 3, in passing through the lights 37, while in the variant of Figure 4i, the pins 44 are manufactured in part 4 and are forced into the lights 37.
En référence à la figure 4j , on peut voir une autre variante de construction, où la partie 4 comporte en périphérie, latéralement des nervures longitudinales 46, qui font saillie pour s'emboîter dans des lumières ou gorges 37 de la partie 3, et dans lesquelles elles peuvent se déplacer de manière limiter lors du coulissement, chaque nervure 46 comportant une ouverture oblongue 47 dans laquelle est engagé un axe ou analogue, de préférence une vis V, qui traverse la gorge 37.  With reference to FIG. 4j, another construction variant can be seen, in which the part 4 has peripherally, laterally, longitudinal ribs 46, which protrude to fit into slots 37 of part 3, and in which they can move in a manner limiting during sliding, each rib 46 having an oblong opening 47 in which is engaged an axis or the like, preferably a screw V, which passes through the groove 37.
On notera que de manière avantageuse, les extrémités des gorges 37 peuvent être garnies de butées, non représentées, dans le but d'amortir les déplacements de limiter les bruits de fonctionnement .  Note that advantageously, the ends of the grooves 37 may be provided with abutments, not shown, for the purpose of damping the movements to limit the operating noise.
De manière générale, on notera qu'il est possible que les deux parties 3 et 4 soient de conceptions identiques, mais asymétriques, c'est-à-dire comporter à la fois des éléments mâles et femelles d'assemblage, en sorte de pouvoir être assemblées l'une à l'autre après retournement de l'une.  In general, it will be noted that it is possible for the two parts 3 and 4 to be identical in design, but asymmetrical, that is to say to include both male and female assembly elements, so that it is possible to be assembled to each other after turning one.
En référence maintenant à la figure 6, on peut voir un mode de réalisation particulier de l'étui 1 selon l'invention.  Referring now to Figure 6, we can see a particular embodiment of the case 1 according to the invention.
Dans ce mode de réalisation, où l'assemblage est analogue à celui de la figure 4i, le rebord 30 de la partie 3 ne s'étend que sur deux côtés opposés, le troisième, qui constitue le fond de l'étui 1 est remplacé par un levier 6 monté pivotant sur un plot 45 , qui fait saillie du côté intérieur de la partie 4, et qui est représenté en traits discontinus sur la figure, engagé dans un trou 60 de forme oblongue pratiqué dans le levier 6 à une extrémité 61 de celui-ci. Le levier 6 comporte, à proximité du trou 60, un second trou 62 dans lequel prend place un plot 38 solidaire de la partie 3.  In this embodiment, where the assembly is similar to that of FIG. 4i, the flange 30 of part 3 extends only on two opposite sides, the third, which constitutes the bottom of case 1 is replaced by a lever 6 pivotally mounted on a stud 45, which protrudes from the inner side of the part 4, and which is shown in broken lines in the figure, engaged in a hole 60 of oblong shape formed in the lever 6 at one end 61 of it. The lever 6 comprises, close to the hole 60, a second hole 62 in which a stud 38 integral with the part 3 takes place.
On comprendra que le déplacement en coulissement de la partie 4 sur la partie 3, provoque le pivotement du levier 6, dont l'extrémité libre 63 entraîne la carte 2, non représentée, hors de l'étui 1, la forme oblongue du trou 60 permettant de compenser le déplacement du plot 38 non concentriquement à l'axe du plot 45. L'amplitude du déplacement de la carte 2 est fonction de l'amplitude de déplacement de l'extrémité libre 63 du levier 6, lequel déplacement est fonction de l'amplitude de déplacement de la partie 4 par rapport à la partie 3 et de la distance qui sépare les deux trous 60 et 62. It will be understood that the sliding displacement of the portion 4 on the part 3, causes the pivoting of the lever 6, whose free end 63 drives the card 2, not shown, out of the case 1, the oblong shape of the hole 60 allowing to compensate the displacement of the stud 38 not concentrically to the axis of the stud 45. The amplitude of the displacement of the card 2 is a function of the displacement amplitude of the free end 63 of the lever 6, which displacement is a function of the amplitude of displacement of the part 4 with respect to the part 3 and of the distance which separates the two holes 60 and 62.
Du fait de la démultiplication obtenue, une faible amplitude de déplacement de la partie 4 par rapport à la partie 3 suffit à faire sortir suffisamment la carte 2.  Because of the reduction obtained, a small amplitude of displacement of the part 4 with respect to the part 3 is enough to sufficiently get out the card 2.
La présence des ressorts R permet, après extraction de la carte 2, un retour en position initiale des parties 3 et 4.  The presence of the springs R allows, after extraction of the card 2, a return to the initial position of the parts 3 and 4.
On notera qu'une variante de ce mode de réalisation, adaptée à deux cartes 2 est parfaitement réalisable par symétrie, la partie 3 devenant alors une partie médiane sur laquelle coulissent deux parties 4.  Note that a variant of this embodiment, adapted to two cards 2 is perfectly achievable by symmetry, the part 3 then becoming a median part on which slide two parts 4.
On notera également que dans le cas d'une telle variante il est possible que les deux parties 4 coulissent dans des directions perpendiculaires.  It will also be noted that in the case of such a variant it is possible for the two parts 4 to slide in perpendicular directions.
En référence maintenant à la figure 7, non peut voir une variante où l'étui 1 permet le stockage de deux cartes 2, avec un système d'extraction des cartes 2, tout en étant composé que de deux parties 3 et 4.  Referring now to Figure 7, no can see a variant where the case 1 allows the storage of two cards 2, with a card extraction system 2, while being composed of two parts 3 and 4.
Les parties 3 et 4, qui sont montées coulissantes l'une sur l'autre, et rappelées au moyen de ressorts non représentés, comprennent chacune un logement 32 et 42, ce dernier non visible sur la figure, un levier 6 muni à une extrémité d'un pivot 64 et à proximité de celui-ci d'un trou 65.  The parts 3 and 4, which are mounted sliding on one another, and recalled by means of not shown springs, each comprise a housing 32 and 42, the latter not visible in the figure, a lever 6 provided at one end of a pivot 64 and close thereto of a hole 65.
Le levier 6 destiné à l'extraction de la carte contenue dans le logement 32 de la partie 3, est monté, au travers du trou 65, sur un plot 38 saillant de la partie 3, tandis que son pivot 64 est introduit dans un trou, non visible pratiqué dans le rebord 40 de la partie 4.  The lever 6 for extracting the card contained in the housing 32 of the part 3, is mounted, through the hole 65, on a stud 38 projecting from the part 3, while its pivot 64 is inserted into a hole , not visible practiced in the rim 40 of part 4.
De même, le levier 6 destiné à l'extraction de la carte contenue dans le logement 42 de la partie 4, est monté, au travers du trou 65, sur un plot, non visible, saillant de la partie 4, tandis que son pivot 64 est introduit dans un trou 39 pratiqué dans le rebord 30 de la partie 3. Similarly, the lever 6 for extracting the card contained in the housing 42 of the part 4, is mounted, through the hole 65, on a non-visible stud projecting from the part 4, while its pivot 64 is introduced into a hole 39 formed in the rim 30 of part 3.
Les leviers 6 sont bien entendu d'une épaisseur limitée à celle d'une carte, et ne sont mobiles que dans l'espace qu'occupe la carte à laquelle ils sont associés dans le logement 32 ou 42.  The levers 6 are of course of a thickness limited to that of a card, and are movable only in the space occupied by the card with which they are associated in the housing 32 or 42.
Lors du coulissement des parties 3 et 4 l'une par rapport à l'autre, la partie 4 entraîne, au travers de son plot, non visible, engagé dans le trou 65 du levier 6, ce dernier en pivotement sur la partie 3 au travers du pivot 64 engagé dans le trou 39, avec pour conséquence l'extraction de la carte contenue dans le logement 42, non visible.  When sliding portions 3 and 4 relative to each other, part 4 drives, through its stud, not visible, engaged in the hole 65 of the lever 6, the latter pivoting on the part 3 to through the pivot 64 engaged in the hole 39, resulting in the extraction of the card contained in the housing 42, not visible.
Simultanément, la partie 3 entraîne, au travers de son plot 38, engagé dans le trou 65 du second levier 6, ce dernier en pivotement sur la partie 4 au travers du pivot 64 engagé dans le trou, non visible, du rebord 40, avec pour conséquence l'extraction de la carte contenue dans le logement 32.  Simultaneously, the part 3 drives, through its stud 38, engaged in the hole 65 of the second lever 6, the latter pivoting on the part 4 through the pivot 64 engaged in the not visible hole, the flange 40, with as a consequence the extraction of the card contained in the housing 32.
Comme pour le mode de réalisation de la figure 6, la distance séparant le pivot 64 du trou 65, détermine le niveau de démultiplication de l'extraction des cartes.  As for the embodiment of FIG. 6, the distance separating the pivot 64 from the hole 65 determines the demultiplication level of the extraction of the cards.
En référence maintenant à la figure 8, on peut voir une variante permettant de stocker jusqu'à 4 cartes. Chacune des parties 3 et 4 comporte un logement double, permettant à deux cartes de coulisser indépendamment l'une de l'autre et parallèlement l'une par rapport à l'autre au travers de deux saillies 33 et 43, non visible, tandis que les leviers 6 sont configurés en sorte qu'ils comportent une partie proximale 66 d'une épaisseur correspondant à celle du logement double, et une partie distale 67 d'une épaisseur réduite de moitié, ce qui crée à la jonction des deux parties proximale 66 et distale 67, un épaulement 68.  Referring now to Figure 8, we can see a variant for storing up to 4 cards. Each of the parts 3 and 4 comprises a double housing, allowing two cards to slide independently of one another and parallel to each other through two protrusions 33 and 43, which are not visible, while the levers 6 are configured so that they have a proximal portion 66 of a thickness corresponding to that of the double housing, and a distal portion 67 of a thickness reduced by half, which creates at the junction of the two proximal portions 66 and distal 67, a shoulder 68.
On comprendra que lors du coulissement des parties 3 et 4 l'une par rapport à l'autre, chacun des leviers 6 entraîne deux cartes, l'une par l'intermédiaire de la partie distale 67, l'autre au travers de 1 ' épaulement 68, en sorte que les cartes sont extraites en étant décalées. De manière générale, quel que soit le mode de réalisation considéré, il est possible d'indexer les différentes positions de la partie 3 par rapport à la partie 4, au travers par exemple d'aimants, disposés sur les deux parties 3 et 4 en des emplacements et selon des orientations favorisant l'action souhaitée. It will be understood that during the sliding of the parts 3 and 4 relative to each other, each of the levers 6 drives two cards, one through the distal portion 67, the other through 1 ' shoulder 68, so that the cards are extracted by being shifted. In general, whatever the embodiment considered, it is possible to index the different positions of the part 3 with respect to the part 4, for example through magnets, arranged on the two parts 3 and 4 in locations and orientations that favor the desired action.
Il est ainsi possible de prévoir que les aimants s'attirent en des positions extrêmes des parties 3 et 4 l'une par rapport à l'autre, en sorte de marquer ces positions, et se repoussent dans des positions intermédiaires pour favoriser le coulissement.  It is thus possible to provide that the magnets attract in extreme positions parts 3 and 4 relative to each other, so as to mark these positions, and repel in intermediate positions to promote sliding.
Egalement de manière générale, il est possible de prévoir un clapet de fermeture de l'étui, monté basculant et/ou coulissant, susceptible de s'escamoter lors du coulissement en ouverture des parties 3 et 4 l'une par rapport à l'autre.  Also in general, it is possible to provide a closure valve of the holster, mounted tilting and / or sliding, may retract during sliding in opening parts 3 and 4 relative to each other .
Dans tous les modes de réalisation représentés, l'étui 1 permet de stocker une ou plusieurs cartes de crédit ou analogue, sans risque d ' endommagement .  In all the embodiments shown, the case 1 can store one or more credit cards or the like, without risk of damage.
L'étui de protection selon l'invention permet de protéger physiquement la ou les cartes qu'il contient, mais également, selon le mode de réalisation, de la lecture à distance des informations contenues.  The protective case according to the invention physically protects the card or cards it contains, but also, depending on the embodiment, the remote reading of the information contained.
En effet, l'utilisation des cartes de crédit sans contact est en développement croissant, et il s'accompagne d'un accroissement des risques de fraude, comme la lecture à distance des informations bancaires du porteur de la carte.  Indeed, the use of contactless credit cards is growing, and it is accompanied by an increased risk of fraud, such as remote reading of the cardholder's bank information.
De manière avantageuse, l'étui peut être réalisé tout ou partie en un matériau susceptible de constituer une barrière électromagnétique apte à empêcher le passage des ondes.  Advantageously, the case may be made in whole or in part of a material capable of forming an electromagnetic barrier capable of preventing the passage of waves.
Les parois extérieures peuvent ainsi être réalisées en métal, ou recouvertes de métal, et de préférence des moyens de contact permettent de relier lesdites parties métalliques pour former une cage.  The outer walls can thus be made of metal, or covered with metal, and preferably contact means are used to connect said metal parts to form a cage.
On notera que de manière avantageuse, les moyens de contact précités sont prévus pour être actifs lorsque l'étui est fermé, et inactifs lorsque l'étui est ouvert, en sorte de permettre l'utilisation de la fonction sans contact de la carte sans avoir à la sortie de l'étui, uniquement en ouvrant l'étui. It will be noted that, advantageously, the abovementioned contact means are intended to be active when the case is closed, and inactive when the case is open, so that allow the use of the contactless function of the card without having to exit the case, only by opening the case.
