Description

  The present invention relates to a card case, more specifically, an IC card (money card) in automatic ticket gates or vending can be brought into close contact with a receiving panel by touch etc., and there is no communication error of IC card data. The present invention relates to a suitable portable card case capable of exchanging information.

Ticket gate cards at stations, etc. are from the era of visual card inspection to present commuter passes to station staff, the era of automatic card ticket reading that reads magnetic cards etc. through the reader of the ticket gate, and now the technology of IC cards The development has changed to the era of automatic ticket gates that can be read on the reception panel of ticket gates.
Therefore, in the age of visual ticket gates, the card case is picked up with a finger or held in the palm of the hand, so a thin card case that is easy for the station staff to check is required. A “commuter pass case” is disclosed in which adhesive means are provided so that the commuter pass does not move relative to the member and the transparent member surface. Also, in the era of automatic card entry gates where a magnetic card or the like is passed through a reading device, a card that can be easily taken out with one hand and can be easily collected and stored with one hand is required. In addition, a long window frame for pushing out the card with fingers and a number of parallel grooves inside the case for sliding the card are provided, and when collecting the card, the introduction port is expanded and easy to store. As in "Mobile Case" and Patent Document 3, card paths are provided on the left and right above the case body, the card is pushed out from the upper end side of the path and inserted into the reading device of the ticket gate, and the card coming out of the reading device is passed as it is. A “commuter pass holder” made of resin or the like collected and stored from the lower end side is disclosed.

Thus, with the spread of automatic ticket gates using IC cards in recent years, the role of card cases has changed greatly from the era of showing cards to station staff and the era of passing cards through ticket gates. For example, there is no need to present and show the card, and there is no need to take out the card or collect the card. Instead, exchange of information between the IC card and the reception panel of the automatic ticket gate is performed with weak electromagnetic waves. It is required to be as close as possible to the reception panel of the automatic ticket gate. However, there is no card case for IC cards that can easily be trapped on the reception panel of the corresponding automatic ticket checker, and for taking it through a reader equipped with an elongated window to push out the card case or card with a finger. The current card case is used as it is.
In particular, the card case for presenting is a small sheet-like bag containing 1 to 3 cards, and it can be used to pick up the card case with a finger while walking or to present it by holding it in your palm. It can be easily taken out from a bag, etc., and information can be easily confirmed from a ticket gate, and it can be quickly and easily put into a pocket or bag, so it is convenient to carry and very easy to handle. As shown in FIG. 7 (a), since it is thin and compact, an IC card 12 for exchanging information data by electromagnetic waves is inserted and picked with a finger 6 as shown in FIG. 7 (b). As shown in the figure, when the hand is held in the palm 13 and is used by leaning on the receiving panel 7 of the automatic ticket gate 8, the picked finger 6 or a part of the gripped palm 13 is received by the conventional card case K and the automatic ticket gate 8. It gets in the way between panels 7 and is difficult to hesitate In both cases, there is a gap between the conventional card case K and the receiving panel 7 that cannot be approached, so anxiety that an error occurs in the exchange of information by electromagnetic waves and an actual error occurs, preventing smooth ticket gates. There was a drawback of becoming. The thin and compact feature is unlikely to be counteracted by the reception panel 7 of the automatic ticket gate and has an adverse effect, and is unsuitable for use in an IC card case for automatic ticket gates for exchanging information data.

However, in the state of FIG. 7C, if the conventional card case K is thickened, it is easy to grip, the fingers 6 and the palm 13 do not get in the way, can be in close contact with the receiving panel 7 of the automatic ticket gate 8, and the information data Since the exchange error is also reduced, as shown in FIG. 8 (a), the IC card 12 is put in a valuable case S for storing a credit card or the like that also serves as the wallet 14 (not shown). As described above, in general, there are many people who automatically touch the valuable panel S by touching the receiving panel 7 of the automatic ticket gate 8.
For example, the wallet-facing card case of Patent Document 4 has a case in which an IC card for an automatic ticket gate can be put in and out on the wallet surface, and the card case is effectively thickened so that it can be easily gripped with a palm. And because the card case is easy to touch the reception panel of the automatic ticket gate, the reception panel of the IC card and the automatic ticket gate is in close contact, information exchange by electromagnetic waves is reliably performed and there are few errors, It is designed to enable automatic ticket gates smoothly during ticket gate rush hours.
However, if you combine an IC card case for automatic ticket gates or vending machines with a wallet for storing valuables such as cash, the IC cards used in automatic ticket gates such as trains are frequently used, and the number of times they are taken in and out is high. In order to make it always easy to put out, keep the valuables case S so that it can be taken out at any time in an open pocket (not shown) or in a place where you can see the open back 15 etc. as shown in Fig. 8 (c). There is a need to worry about the loss of a drop or a criminal offense, and the shortcomings of information exchange errors with automatic ticket gates will be improved. Accompanied by anxiety and risk of crime.

  The card case of the present invention eliminates such a conventional drawback, such as an error in exchanging information between the IC card and the reception panel of the automatic ticket checker and the danger of crime and loss of valuable goods, No need for thickness, taking advantage of the thin and compact features of the traditional card case for presenting, making it easy to remove it from a pocket or bag, and assured data while walking as close as possible to the reception panel of the ticket gate It is necessary to be able to carry out a ticket gate without error by communication, to be easily handled quickly and easily in a pocket or a bag, and to be convenient for carrying.

  The present invention is a card case of an era in which an IC card is placed on a receiving panel in view of such circumstances. In the case of an automatic ticket gate, the IC card case is touched on the receiving panel of the ticket gate to perform data communication. There is no anxiety about the error, and there is no error, and the automatic ticket gate can be made smoothly. In addition, a card case that can also be prayed at each ticket gate so that wishes such as pass, employment, marriage, prayer fulfillment, winning, etc. can be passed and granted safely in connection with passing the ticket gate safely. In addition, the majority of people who go to schools and companies use IC cards for trains and buses, so the range of applications that can be useful for student studies and office workers in the future of information technology is expanding. The purpose is to provide a card case.

In order to achieve the above object by achieving the above object, the card case of the present invention is a flexible and non-flexible block shape that can be picked with a finger and / or thin and cannot be picked. One or more protrusions can be provided, characters and figures can be printed on the upper surface of the block-like protrusions, and an IC such as a USB memory can be embedded in the block-like protrusions, or a block-like protrusion bag Or a card case that can store small items such as a USB memory in a box, and has a card slot at the card slot.
In addition, the protrusion shape of the present invention includes a product made by a company such as a flexible character, a locomotive of a railway company, a public building, and the like. Also included are flowers, fruits, daily necessities, food, and the like. The card case of the present invention includes business card holders, name tag holders, examination ticket holders, and credit card holders.

  As described above in detail, the card case of the present invention has a block-shaped part of the wallet that is easy to use when a non-flexible block-shaped protrusion that can be picked with a finger is provided on the back of the card case. It is a card case that is left as a protrusion and the other parts are thinned. Touch the card case to the reading panel of the automatic ticket checker and push it into the card case. The IC card can also be folded face-to-face with the reading panel of the automatic ticket gate and the outer casing of the card case. Accordingly, information exchange between the IC card and the reading panel of the automatic ticket checker is surely performed except for the failure of the apparatus, and reading errors due to the ticket checking action can be drastically reduced. In this way, the automatic ticket gate operation can be performed smoothly and the occurrence of errors is reduced, thereby reducing congestion during rush hours. Moreover, if an error occurs in the automatic ticket gate and a buzzer sounds and the ticket gate is closed and the passage is stopped, it will bother the following people and cause discomfort and a bad feeling. According to the card case of the present invention, since the occurrence of errors is reduced, there is no mental shock and the ticket gater can comfortably attend school or commute.

  In addition, letters and figures can be printed or described on the upper surface of the block-shaped protrusion, so that a prayer can be made. For example, by picking and writing the “pass” of the prayer content on the upper surface with the picking protrusion in the shape of an arrow, pick the passing arrow protrusion at the ticket gate, touch the card case to the reading panel of the automatic ticket gate, and pray for the passing By passing it safely and without error, you can pray for your wishes at each ticket gate. It is said that if you wish, your feelings will be tight and your body will move.

  In addition, an IC chip such as a USB memory is embedded in the block-shaped protrusion, or the block-shaped protrusion is formed into a bag shape or a box shape so as to be integrated with the card case so that the USB memory can be stored therein. Therefore, most people who go to schools and companies use an IC card for trains and buses, so in the near future IC era, when learning materials, learning materials, business materials, etc. are stored in a USB memory, etc. Instead of a bag containing documents and documents, you can carry it around without forgetting or losing it.

  The card case for presenting in Patent Document 1 needs to be fixed so as to prevent the card from being shifted and invisible. The card cases of Patent Document 2 and Patent Document 3 need to be easily inserted and removed because the card is inserted and removed every time the ticket gate is opened. However, the card case in which the IC card is placed on the ticket gate does not require the card to be fixed or taken out, and can be used more safely if the IC card is prevented from dropping out of the card case. Therefore, by providing a transverse groove for preventing card drop at the card entrance / exit, when the IC card is stored in the bag of the card case, the IC card is constantly subjected to surface pressure by the bag skin. When the card enters inside, the ridge inside the transverse groove is lowered one step, and when the IC card is about to come out, it hits the ridge outside the transverse groove, so that it becomes a stopper. Therefore, it is possible to completely prevent the IC card from dropping in the normal state of the card case.

  Furthermore, the conventional card case has a transparent sheet attached to one side so that the inserted commuter pass can be seen for visual presentation, but the card case of the present invention is an IC card that exchanges information with electromagnetic waves. It is not necessary to be visible and can be opaque, so both the front and back sides can be used for advertising media and fashion.

In this way, with the card case of the present invention, even a thin and compact card case that is easy to handle has no information communication errors and can be automatically turned into trains and other automatic ticket gates. There is no need to use it as a product case, and valuables such as wallets can be closed in a safe place in the back, such as a bag, to ensure safety and security such as loss and crime.
Therefore, in the future IC card society where non-contact automatic read / write information exchange using electromagnetic waves, the card case of the present invention can be used for comfortable daily life in vehicles, shopping, leisure, sports, etc. It is a devise of a very effective card case suitable for IC automation society such as automatic ticket gates and vending in the future.
