FIG. 4 shows an embodiment for realizing such pinching. In this embodiment, the card is sandwiched by the sandwiching portions (2a, 2b and 2c) of the card sandwiching means, 2a and 2c sandwich the card from the plane direction of the card, and 2b sandwiches the card from the bottom surface direction of the card. That is, hold the cards from above and below with alternate plates. Considering the hardness and thinness of the magnetic card, 2a, 2c and 2b are placed in a substantially horizontal position, and by utilizing the back pressure of the card, they are weak enough to follow the suction of the card reading device and naturally when they are taken out. Achieve a pinch that is strong enough not to come off. The card holding means is not limited to the above means as long as its strength is appropriate. For example, it can be replaced by a means of sandwiching it with a material having friction.

A guide such as a rail is provided inside the casing means 1 so that the card holding means 2 slides smoothly in the main body.

The elastic body 3 is a member that pushes out the card holding means in the opening direction. This elastic body is made of a material (metal, non-metal, etc.) in consideration of the design of the card storage case and the design difference, for example, the position of the opening of the main body and the position of the shaft of the card holding means such as sliding or rotating. ), And type (pin, string, plate, etc.). The embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 employs a pin-shaped spring to make the main body thin.

The means for moving the card holding means to the opening in the present invention is not limited to the means for pushing out by the elastic body, and the means for sliding the card holding means 2 with the opening facing down by gravity is also implemented. It is possible.

The locking means 4 can be operated by an operating means 5 provided outside the case, and the card holding means can resist the repulsive force of the elastic body 3 and maintain the stored state. On the other hand, the operating means 5 releases the locked state and releases the contracted elastic body 3.

FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of the locking means 4 and the operating means 5. In this example, the locking means 4 is composed of a hook portion 4a and a spring portion 4b, and the operating means 5 can be operated by a button portion 5a provided on the casing step 1. By pressing this button portion 5a, the hook portion 4b of the locking means 4 is pushed down together with the spring portion 4a, and the locking means 4 and the card holding means 2 are disengaged. The button portion 5a can be provided at an arbitrary position of the casing means 1 in consideration of the design of the card storage case and the difference in design, for example, the position of the opening of the casing means 1 and the sliding of the card holding means. Further, it is possible to determine the position and the like of the button part as a main part of the design and appropriately arrange each constituent element. That is, the respective constituent elements of the device according to the present invention can be combined and arranged in various ways.

As described above, in the card storage case according to the present invention, the card holding means 2 that holds the card and slides in the casing is fed out by the elastic body 3 toward the opening, and the elastic body 3 is repelled. It consists of a mechanism that locks the card holding means in the state where the card is housed in the main body against the force, and the operation of these mechanisms is controlled from the outside. In addition, a plurality of cards can be stored by combining a plurality of the present invention.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the card is always ejected in a constant state only by operating the button, and if the card is held in the storage case and brought into contact with the opening of the automatic ticket gate, the automatic ticket gate is automatically operated.
