Description
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 × 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 × 53.98 mm, with 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
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
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
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
Dans le document
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.

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, comprenant 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, la partie montée coulissante sur l'autre étant 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.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, comprising 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 accommodate and retain said card, and comprises for this purpose a housing in which can slide a card, said housing comprising on the one hand laterally a reversible clamping means of said card, allowing to maintain it, and secondly having an opening by which can be extracted said card by sliding, after sliding of said portion containing said card, the sliding mounted portion su r the other being shaped so that the card it contains can not come into contact with the other part, 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. rear 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.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.
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.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 l'une de deux gorges que comporte l'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 the one of two throats that the other part contains.
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.

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
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
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

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
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

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
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

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.In general, whatever the embodiment considered, it is possible to index the different positions of the
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
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
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
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.
