Abstract

Device for giving warning, by an audio signal, of the absence of a card in a card holder. The invention relates to a device making it impossible to forget a card during its use. It consists of a card holder in which there is an alarm, contacts serving as switches linked to the alarm. When the user withdraws a card and closes the card holder, with the contacts touching, the alarm is triggered. The device according to the invention is particularly intended for all magnetic or other cards of credit card form.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif permettant de prévenir par un signal sonore l'absence d'une carte dans un porte carte. The present invention relates to a device enabling the absence of a card in a card holder to be prevented by an audible signal.

Pour l'utilisateur le risque d'oubli d'une carte, magnétique ou non, lors de son utilisation, est toujours possible. For the user, the risk of forgetting a card, magnetic or not, during its use is always possible.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à cet inconvénient. I1 comporte en effet selon une première caractéristique une alarme alimentée par pile reliée à des contacts métalliques ; ainsi quand l'utilisateur retire une carte de son emplacement les contacts se touchent et si l'utilisateur ferme le porte-cartes deux autres contacts se touchant ferment le circuit et enclenchent l'alarme. The device according to the invention overcomes this drawback. I1 indeed has, according to a first characteristic, an alarm powered by a battery connected to metal contacts; so when the user removes a card from its location the contacts touch and if the user closes the card holder two other touching contacts close the circuit and set off the alarm.

Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation - l'alarme peut tre constituée d'un buzzer et des composants nécessaires à son bon fonctionnement: résistances, transistors, piles ou tout autre composant permettant l'obtention du signal. According to particular embodiments - the alarm can consist of a buzzer and the components necessary for its proper functioning: resistors, transistors, batteries or any other component enabling the signal to be obtained.

- l'ensemble peut être placé dans une pochette du portecartes, donc non visible.- the assembly can be placed in a pocket of the card holder, therefore not visible.

- les contacts peuvent être constitués de tout matériau conducteur.- the contacts can be made of any conductive material.

- les contacts peuvent être placés sur chacunes des faces de chaque pochette recevant une carte.- the contacts can be placed on each of the faces of each pocket receiving a card.

- deux contacts peuvent être placés de sorte qu'ils se touchent lors de la fermeture du porte-cartes.- two contacts can be placed so that they touch when the card holder is closed.

- les fils électriques reliant les contacts métalliques à l'alarme peuvent être passés dans les bords repliés du porte-cartes, qui peuvent être soit cousus soit collés selon le matériau employé.- the electrical wires connecting the metal contacts to the alarm can be passed through the folded edges of the card holder, which can be either sewn or glued depending on the material used.

Selon des variantes il est possible de ne placer qu'un contact métallique par pochette si celui-ci est apparent lors du retrait d'une carte, l'alarme se déclenchant à la fermeture du porte-carte. According to variants, it is possible to place only one metal contact per pocket if it is apparent when a card is withdrawn, the alarm being triggered when the card holder is closed.

A titre d'exemple non limitatif, l'alarme aura des dimensions de l'ordre de cinquante millimètres pour la longueur, vingt cinq millimètres pour la largeur et cinq millimètres pour l'épaisseur. By way of nonlimiting example, the alarm will have dimensions of the order of fifty millimeters for the length, twenty five millimeters for the width and five millimeters for the thickness.

Le dispositif, selon l'invention, est particulièrement destiné aux cartes bancaires, de membre de club, magnétiques d'ouverture de portes et toutes cartes format carte de crédit.  The device according to the invention is particularly intended for bank cards, club members, magnetic door openers and all credit card size cards.
