  • a storage container the container housing of which has a rectangularly contoured box-shaped lower housing part and a housing cover pivotally mounted on the lower housing part.
  • card-like card receptacles are formed for releasably inserting an information carrier card designed in credit card format.
  • the top of the card holder is delimited by an upper edge surface which is formed by a projection of the housing cover.
  • the invention is based on the object of taking measures in connection with good handling of the information carrier card ensure improved stability of a container housing equipped with at least one card holder.
  • the card holder is framed by a self-contained bounding frame which is formed in its entirety on a one-piece wall section of the housing wall and is therefore not composed of components of several separate container components.
  • the boundary wall braces the housing wall, which ensures high stability for the housing wall despite the provision of a card holder. Since the engagement recess only has to allow the intervention of a fingertip, its width can be limited to a finger width, so that the delimitation frame has only a slight interruption, which does not adversely affect the stabilization function.
  • the information carrier card can be very simple inserted in their use position and, if necessary, pulled out again into the standby position separate from the container housing.
  • an information carrier card that has flexible properties so that it has a high degree of flexibility. It consists in particular of an elastic plastic material, for example PVC.
  • the two lateral holding ribs are shorter than the lateral edge surfaces of the card holder, so that they end at a distance in front of the upper edge surface of the card holder, the space formed thereby defining a card insertion gap, which allows the information carrier card to be bent in connection with a bending process by the card holder Insert the card insertion slot into the two holding slots from above. As soon as the information carrier card is seated in the card holder, it is supported in the vertical direction on the upper and on the lower edge surface and is thus held captively.
  • the free space between the two holding ribs functions as a viewing opening, through which the information carrier card can be seen and which makes it possible to read information applied to the information carrier card.
  • the removal of the inserted information carrier card is in turn associated with an elastic bending process, but does not take place by pushing it out through the card insertion gap, but rather directly through the viewing opening towards the front.
  • the engagement recess formed in the delimitation frame allows a user to insert the fingertip of a finger into the card holder and there into the area behind the inserted information carrier card and to act simultaneously or subsequently on the back of the information carrier card. This can be pulled out through the viewing opening. This is made possible by the fact that the distance between the two card edge sections due to a bulging of the information carrier card which is supported on the edge of the holding ribs, so that the information carrier card can emerge from the holding slots on the long sides facing the viewing opening.
  • the information carrier card preferably has the size of a so-called check card, as is often used as a bank card or credit card.
  • it has the ID-1 format in accordance with the ISO / IEC 7810 standard.

  • the bounding box is expediently uninterrupted.
  • the two card insertion gaps are arranged adjacent to the upper edge surface of the card holder, while the engagement recess is located in the region of the opposite lower edge surface of the card holder. This makes it easier to pull out the information carrier card because its side edges are supported in the holding slots in the height region in which manual pressure is exerted from the back when pulled out, and consequently an optimal arching process can form.
  • frame leg sections Between each holding rib and the engagement recess, one of two length sections of the lower frame leg, referred to as frame leg sections, extends.
  • the holding ribs extend on their underside opposite the upper end face to the lower edge face of the card holder, where they expediently merge into the lower edge face in one piece.
  • each card insertion gap is preferably 25% to 35%, preferably 30% of the length of a lateral edge surface. It is considered expedient if the length of the card insertion gap is in the range from 25% to 35% of the length of the associated lateral edge area.

  • the information carrier card can carry any information that is necessary or expedient for the use of the assigned storage container. For example, it can carry content information relating to one or more objects stored in the storage space. Such information can, for example, be printed on the card surface so that it can be read visually through the viewing window in the use position of the information carrier card. Such information can be implemented alphanumerically or by means of an electronically readable code. Alternatively or additionally, at least one piece of information can also be contained in a wirelessly readable electronic component of the information carrier card, for example in a transponder suitable for the so-called RFID technology.

  • the limiting frame 56 which is formed in one piece with the peripheral wall 27 of the lower housing part 24, is interrupted at one point in the region of the lower edge surface 69 of the card holder 54 by an engagement recess 78 which is spaced apart from each of the two lateral edge surfaces 67.
  • the engagement recess 78 divides the lower frame leg 63 into two lower frame leg sections 63a, 63b, each of which extends from one of the two side frame legs 64, 65 in the transverse direction 58, but they form the engagement recess 78 with mutually facing end faces 82 end at a distance from each other.
  • the length of the engagement recess 78 measured between these two end faces 82 is smaller than the clear distance between the two holding ribs 74.
  • the delimitation frame 56 is interrupted exclusively by the engagement recess 78 and is otherwise uninterrupted and closed all around.
  • the base surface 72 of the card receptacle 54 preferably merges flush through the engagement recess 78 into the section of the outer surface 55 of the front wall 72 which adjoins below the lower frame leg 63.
  • the mutually facing end faces 82 are preferably rounded or beveled in such a way that the length of the engagement recess 78 measured in the transverse direction 58 increases with increasing distance from the base area 72.
  • the length of the engagement recess 78 is dimensioned to be large enough to be able to push a fingertip through from below, with the aim of pulling an information carrier card 3 which takes up the position of use from the card holder 54.
  • the preferred length of the engagement recess 78 measured in the transverse direction 58 is in the range of the width of a human finger. The length is preferably between two and three centimeters.
  • the information carrier card 3 In order to insert the information carrier card 3 into the use position in the card holder 54, the information carrier card 3 is in accordance with Figure 5 with its lower edge card section 14 advance at the level of the two card insertion column 77 from above into the card holder 54. Since the base surface 72 is deepened with respect to the delimitation frame 56, this takes place in connection with an elastic bending of the information carrier card 3 about a region parallel to the first card main axis 8. The information carrier card 3 is concavely curved on the side facing the viewer.
  • the information carrier card 3 is supported all around by the delimitation frame 56 and is held substantially immovably.
  • the holding ribs 74 ensure that the information carrier card 3 cannot fall out towards the front.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 show process steps for deliberately removing the information carrier card 3 from the card holder 54. This takes place, for example, if the information carrier card 3 is to be replaced due to a change in the container contents.
  • the engagement recess 78 comes into play during the removal process.
  • the fingertip of a human finger 86 are inserted into the card holder 54 from below such that the fingertip 87 according to FIG Figure 8 comes to rest in the area of the lower card edge section 14 behind the information carrier card 3, that is to say between the information carrier card 3 and the base surface 72.
  • This process is associated with an elastic bulging of the information carrier card 3 through the viewing opening 75 due to the finger thickness.
  • the information carrier card 3 is convexly curved outwards about the vertical axis 57.
  • the finger 86 is pulled away from the container housing 15 in the longitudinal direction 17 according to arrow 88, the information carrier card 3, which is still gripped by the fingertip 87, being completely pulled out of the card holder 54 according to arrow 91, through the viewing opening 75.
  • the information carrier card 3 is initially retained in the region of its two lateral card edge sections 12 by the holding ribs 74. With increasing curvature, however, the two side card edge sections 12 approach each other to such an extent that the length of the information carrier card 3 measured in the transverse direction 58 is less than the clear width of the viewing opening 75 between the two holding ribs 74. Then the information carrier card 3 can move between the Snap the two holding ribs 74 out of the card holder 54.
  • the engagement recess 78 is arranged centrally between the two lateral edge surfaces 67.
  • the two lower frame leg sections 63a, 63b are of the same length in this case.
  • the formation of the engagement recess 78 in the lower frame leg 63 has the advantage that the housing wall 22 is relatively stiff there due to the relatively large distance from the upper edge surface 37 of the peripheral wall 27, and no disadvantageous weakening in the structural rigidity is experienced due to the interruption of the limiting frame 56.
  • the engagement recess 78 could also be provided in the upper frame leg 62.
  • the upper frame leg 62 is expediently formed in the region of the access opening 28, so that it forms a stiffening rib stiffening the peripheral wall 27 in the region of the upper edge surface 37. It is advantageous if the upper edge surface 37 is at least partially formed on the upper frame leg 62.
  • the stiffness of the housing wall 22 becomes due to the design of the card receptacle 54 not affected.
  • the peripheral wall 27 also has a high stability in the area of the card receptacles 54 even when the storage container 2 is open.
  • the upper frame leg 62 can be referred to as a rib-like projection of the housing wall 22.
  • the same also applies in the exemplary embodiment to the lower frame leg 63, which is locally interrupted by the engagement recess 78 and is therefore divided in two.
  • the card receptacle 54 is preferably formed in the interior of a channel-like wall recess 92 which is open towards the front of the container housing 15 and extends outside in the front wall 32 in the height direction 16, preferably over the entire height of the lower housing part 24.
  • the base 72 of the card holder 54 is formed by a surface section of the preferably flat channel base 93 of the channel-like wall recess 92.
  • the channel-like wall recess 92 is laterally delimited by two boundary wall sections 94 which are formed by, for example, bead-like partial regions of the peripheral wall 27.
  • the two lateral frame legs 64, 65 are each formed, for example, directly from a length section of one of the two boundary wall sections 94, the retaining ribs 74 being integrally formed on one of these boundary wall sections 94.
  • the upper frame leg 62 and the lower frame leg 63 which is interrupted locally by the engagement recess 76, run as rib-like projections of the housing wall 22 between the two boundary wall sections 94, projecting forwardly from the channel base surface 93 in the longitudinal direction 17. Both the upper and lower frame legs 62, 63 and the retaining ribs 74 expediently do not project outward beyond the channel-like wall recess 92.
  • An advantageous embodiment of the storage device 1 contains an in Figure 3 only dash-dot schematically indicated shelf structure 95, which is designed to store at least one storage container 2 when not in use.
  • the shelf structure 95 offers the possibility of accommodating the at least one storage container 2 in a manner that can be pulled out in the manner of a drawer.
  • Such a shelf structure 95 can be installed, for example, in a workshop or in a service vehicle.
  • the storage container 2 has a guide device 96 on the outside of the container housing 15, by means of which it can be releasably engaged in a linearly displaceable manner by means of a mating guide device 97 of the storage device 1 arranged on the rack structure 95.
  • the guide device 96 comprises a guide rail 96a, 96b on the outside of each side wall 34 in the region of the underside of the container.
  • the counter-guide device 97 has two counter-guide rails 97a, 97b which are arranged at a distance from one another on the shelf structure 95 such that the storage container 2 can be brought into engagement with them from one end side by means of its guide rails 96a, 96b.
  • the guide rails 96a, 96b and the counter-guide rails 97a, 97b are coordinated with one another in such a way that the storage container 2 can be pushed into the rack structure 95 in its longitudinal direction 17 and can be pulled out of the rack structure 95.
  • the front handle 52 can be used with this handling.
  • the container housing 15 consists of a plastic material.
  • the guide device 96 is expediently formed in one piece in the lower housing part 24.
  • the storage device 1 preferably contains several of the storage containers 2 described. These storage containers 2 preferably have the same outline in the plane perpendicular to the vertical axis 16. The number of storage containers 2 can differ in height.
