Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a prepaid card such as a telephone card.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Traditionally, used telephone cards have been discarded as garbage.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 I tried to use a used telephone card, which was previously discarded as garbage, as a “shiori”. Then, it was discovered that the size, shape, material, and various patterns printed on the surface of the telephone card were optimal for use as "bookmarks". However, if the telephone card is simply sandwiched between desired pages such as a book, there is a problem that the desired page cannot be opened immediately because it falls between the pages.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 Therefore, the present invention provides a tongue piece for holding the card body to a desired page such as a book in the card body, and the card body such as a telephone card without dropping the card body between pages of the book or the like. The tongue can be used to pinch a desired page such as a book, and the card body can function as a "bookmark", and the used card body that was previously discarded as waste can be effectively used. is there.

Further, the tongue piece is formed by punching out a non-magnetic portion of the card main body while leaving a part thereof to have a desired contour shape, so that writing and reading of the card main body can be properly performed, and the original function of the card main body is achieved. The card body can be used as a "bookmark" without soiling the card.

Further, the notch for forming the tongue piece on the card body is inserted in the opposite direction from the insertion side of the writing and reading device of the card body, so that the tongue piece is not inserted when the card body is inserted into the writing and reading device. Accidents such as flipping up and damaging the device can be prevented, and the card body can be handled in the same manner as before.

Further, the notch for forming the tongue piece on the card body is partially discontinuous, and the tongue piece is pierced by breaking the discontinuous portion so that the card body is not used for its original purpose. There is no problem even if a tongue is provided and also used as a “bookmark”, but when the card body is used for its original purpose by providing the tongue when the card body has been used, it is completely different from the conventional method. It can be handled without change.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view of a telephone card, which is a kind of prepaid card, in which a U-shaped notch (2) for punching is provided at a substantially central portion of a card body (1). The shape of the cut (2) may be V-shaped or any other designed shape in addition to the U-shaped shape.

The notch (2) is provided in the non-magnetic portion (4) except the magnetic portion (3) on the right side edge of the card body (1) which is divided by the broken line in the drawing. If there is a magnetic portion on the left edge of the card body (1), it is necessary to avoid the portion and make the cut (2).

Further, the notch (2) is provided from the insertion side (direction) of the card body (1) indicated by the arrow in the drawing to the other end side. Further, the cut (2) is discontinuous at two locations on the left and right and one at the tip, and a discontinuous portion (5) is provided at a total of three locations. In the figure, (6) is a reverse insertion detection notch provided at the edge of the card body (1) opposite to the insertion side end.

By pushing the notch (2) of the card body (1) with a finger, the discontinuous portion (5) is broken and the U-shaped tongue (7) as shown in FIG. ) Is punched from the card body (1) with a part left, and as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a desired book (8) or the like is placed between the card body (1) and the tongue piece (7). By inserting the page (9), the card body (1), that is, the telephone card is held by the page (9) and can be used as a "bookmark".

[0012]

[Effect of device]

 As is apparent from the above embodiments, the present invention provides the card body (1) with the tongue piece (7) for holding the card body (1) on the desired page (9) such as the book (8). , The card body (1) such as the telephone card is pushed to the desired page such as the book (8) by the tongue piece (7) without making the card body (1) fall between the pages (9) such as the book (8). The card body (1) can be held by (9), and the card body (1) can function as a “bookmark” to effectively use the used card body (1) that was previously discarded as garbage. Is something that can be done.

Further, the tongue piece (7) is punched with a non-magnetic portion (4) of the card body (1) leaving a part thereof and provided in a desired contour shape, so that writing and writing of the card body (1) can be performed. The card body (1) can be used as a “bookmark” without causing the original function of the card body (1) to be contaminated by allowing proper reading.

Further, the notch (2) forming the tongue piece (7) in the card body (1) is inserted in the opposite direction from the insertion side of the writing and reading device of the card body (1), so that the card body (1) It is possible to prevent accidents such as the tongue piece (7) flipping up and damaging the device when the card is inserted into the writing and reading device, and it is possible to handle the card body (1) without any change. It is possible.

Further, the notch (2) forming the tongue piece (7) on the card body (1) is partially discontinuous, and the tongue piece (7) is broken by breaking the discontinuous portion (5). By striking the card body (1), the tongue piece (7) can be provided and used as a "bookmark" while the card body (1) is being used for its original purpose, but it can be said that the card body (1) has already been used. When the card main body (1) is used for its original purpose by providing the tongue piece (7) at that time, it can be handled without any change from the conventional one.
