Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention is a card case suitable for storing various types of cards, especially commuter tickets (magnetic tickets) that can be used in automatic ticket gates. It is about.

[Prior Art] There are various conventional card cases of this type,
In any case, two square cover sheets, one on the front and one on the back, are joined together with only one side open, and a window is constructed so that the description on the front side of the card stored in at least the front cover sheet can be seen. It was done.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] Since the conventional card case is as described above in any case, the stored commuter pass and other cards cannot be taken out with one hand.

On the other hand, recently, automatic ticket gate systems have been widely adopted at railway stations, and it has become necessary to take out the commuter pass from the card case and insert it into the ticket slot of the automatic ticket gate. . However, as described above, the conventional card case does not allow for easy and speedy insertion / removal of the card, which is quite troublesome.

According to the present invention, it is possible to easily take out and put in a card, and in particular, by providing a card case that can be done with one hand,
The purpose of the present invention is to allow a person carrying a bag or other baggage in the other hand to easily pass through the automatic ticket gate. More specifically, the card case can be taken out of the pocket or the like with one hand, and the commuter pass stored in the card case can be easily inserted into the slot of the automatic ticket gate with one hand as well, up to the outlet of the automatic ticket gate. An object of the present invention is to allow a moved commuter pass to be stored while being received in the card case with one hand.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The gist of the present invention is that a pair of substantially rectangular cover sheets are faced to each other, and the cover sheets are joined at positions along both side edges except at least near one end. At the end portions of the pair of cover sheets which are not joined to each other along both side edges in the vicinity thereof, the both cover sheets are detachably joined at the end portions. Therefore, at one end of one cover sheet, a male locking means out of the male and female locking means to be joined and separated in the direction orthogonal to the surfaces of both cover sheets, and at the other end of the other cover sheet. Female locking means are provided, and a display window for displaying the surface of cards inserted between the cover sheets is formed at the center of at least one of the pair of cover sheets. , Cover both of the above cards with your fingers A finger insertion opening for moving in the direction of the end of the sheet is opened, and the end of the pair of cover sheets provided with locking means for male and female penetrates the locking means and both side and side cover sheets. It is a card case with a check hole.

The cover sheet may be made of leather or any other suitable material. In terms of size, the size is slightly larger than the size of the commuter pass, that is, it is almost the same as a general card case such as a commuter pass.

Both ends of the card case serve as an ejection port or an insertion port for cards. When the side portions of the cover sheet are joined to the end portions, the cover sheets on both sides are brought into close contact with each other, and the cards and the like cannot be easily pulled out. The non-joined ends of the cover sheet require locking means as described above. It should be noted that both ends may be configured such that the end portions do not join the side portions of the cover sheet.

A hook or other button is suitable as the locking means. You may use magic tape. As described above, it suffices to prevent the cards from being pulled out at regular intervals, so that it is sufficient to attach about one card to each end. It does not necessarily have to be attached in the middle.

It is preferable to dispose a transparent sheet in the display window. The finger insertion opening is formed by cutting out the transparent sheet in both end directions. If the display window can be made relatively small, the display window and the finger insertion port can be made common.

The check hole is a hole for checking whether a card such as a commuter pass inserted in the card case is inserted inside the hole. The purpose is to see whether or not it interferes with the locking of the locking means. This is to prevent cards such as commuter passes from being scratched when the locking means is locked from the opposite side.

By the way, at the end portions of the pair of cover sheets which are not joined to each other along both side edges in the vicinity thereof, one of the corner portions of the cover sheet is projected outward of the other. Is suitable. This is because a finger can be inserted between the cover sheets so that the opening at the end can be easily formed.

When the front and back cover sheets are provided with display windows, a partition sheet can be placed in the center if necessary.

It is also possible to combine a plurality of card cases on the side. Alternatively, it is also possible to connect a storage means for storing cards having another structure to the side portion of the card case.

[Operation] Since the present invention is configured in this way, when a commuter pass, in particular, a magnetic ticket that can be used in an automatic ticket gate is stored and placed in this card case, it can be inserted and removed with one hand. It's very convenient because you can.

Specifically, it is used as follows.

Slide the commuter pass through the opening at one end of the card case and insert it into the slot of the automatic ticket gate.

When the corresponding end portion is provided with the locking means, first the front and back cover sheets are opened by inserting fingers from the front end side, and then the front cover sheet is folded back from the front end to the locking means. Is removed, and then the thumb is put in through the finger insertion slot to slide the commuter pass toward the one end side.

If the locking means is not provided at the corresponding end, the thumb is immediately inserted into the finger insertion slot so that the commuter pass is slid out of the opening at the end.

In any case, the commuter ticket inside is slid out from the end opening of the card case as needed, and then the commuter ticket is inserted from the slot of the automatic ticket gate.

The commuter pass immediately moves to the outlet while being checked for certain items in the automatic ticket gate, and a considerable portion of the commuter pass is projected from the outlet.

Then, while passing through the ticket gate, engage the male and female locking means (if any) at the tips and slightly change the card case, this time, the other end, that is, the hand side end, the thumb The cover is opened while inserting it between the cover sheets, and the locking means is released. In this way, the opening on the hand side is opened, and the commuter pass protruding from the outlet of the automatic ticket gate is inserted between them. The commuter pass that has been inserted to some extent slides inside with your finger.

After that, the end portion on the proximal side is closed and locked by the locking means. At that time, check whether the commuter pass is inside the locking means through the check hole. The check is made so that the locking of the locking means is not hindered, but this is substantially to prevent the commuter pass from being damaged.

In addition, it is convenient that the opening operation of the end portion of the card case can be easily carried by a finger if the corner portions of both cover sheets are provided with a difference in the outward protruding length or R.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a pair of substantially rectangular cover sheets 1a and 1b are faced to each other when viewed from the front, and the side portions thereof are sewn together. The suturing is performed only near the center of the side portion, and not near the upper end and the lower end of the side portion. 2 is a stitching part.

The cover sheets 1a and 1b are each provided with a display window 3 in the center. The display windows 3 and 3 are formed by forming a substantially rectangular opening in the cover sheets 1a and 1b when viewed from the front and attaching a transparent sheet from the back surface side so as to close the openings. A vertical finger insertion opening 4 is cut out at the center of the transparent sheet. The size of the display window 3 is set so that when the commuter pass 5 is inserted between the cover sheets 1a and 1b, the description on the face of the ticket can be sufficiently read.

Male and female hooks 6a and 6b are attached to both ends of the cover sheets 1a and 1b, respectively. In FIGS. 1 and 2, female hooks 6a are attached to the cover sheet 1a on the upper surface on the right side at the upper end and to the left side on the lower edge, respectively, and on the lower cover sheet 1b at corresponding positions. Attach the hook 6b. Thus the cover sheet 1a,
Both ends of 1b can be closed by engaging male and female hooks 6a and 6b. Further, check holes 7 are formed side by side with the hooks 6a and 6b at both ends of the cover sheets 1a and 1b.

In addition, as shown in FIG.
R is made small at the upper right corner and the lower left corner of a, and the protruding piece 8
The upper left corner and the lower right corner are configured to have a large radius R and are retracted from the protrusions 8b at the same corner of the cover sheet 1b on the lower surface. On the contrary, R is made small at the upper left corner and the lower right corner of the cover sheet 1b on the lower surface to form the protruding piece 8b.
The corners on the upper right and lower left corners have a large radius R so that they are retracted from the protrusions 8a at the same corner of the cover sheet 1a on the upper surface.

The cover sheets 1a and 1b are made of leather.

In this embodiment, since it is configured in this way, it is convenient when the commuter pass, especially the magnetized commuter pass 5 that can be used in the automatic ticket gate is stored and used.

Needless to say, at stations without automatic ticket gates, the face of the commuter pass 5 can be displayed through the display window 3 of the card case like a general card case and used according to general usage.

At the station where the automatic ticket gate is installed, the commuter pass 5 can be easily put in and taken out from this card case with one hand, so that it can be used very effectively as follows.

When passing through the ticket gate, first, the commuter pass 5 is slid out from the front end of the card case and inserted into the slot s of the automatic ticket gate.

As shown in FIG. 3, first, the front cover sheet 1
The index finger f1 is hung on the corner projection 8a of a, and the thumb f2 is used as a lever to fold it back slightly to the front side.
Remove 6b. Then, the index finger f1 is made to enter between the cover sheets 1a and 1b, and as shown in FIG. 4, the tip of the cover sheet 1b on the back side is slightly bent downward with the index finger f1 and the thumb f2 is placed on the front side. The cover sheet 1a is inserted into the finger insertion opening 4, and the commuter pass 5 stored with the thumb f2 is slid out in the front end direction. Then,
As shown in FIG. 4, the commuter pass 5 slides over the index finger f1. In this way, the commuter pass 5 is attached to the lower male hook 6
Project from the tip as much as necessary without colliding with b,
It can be inserted into the slot s of the automatic ticket gate as shown in FIG. 5 while being held by the index finger f1 and the thumb f2.

Next, make the following preparations while passing through the ticket gate equipped with the automatic ticket gate to the other side.

That is, the index finger f1 is moved from between the cover sheets 1a and 1b to the back surface side of the back cover sheet 1b, and the thumb f1 is moved.
The male and female hooks 6a and 6b at the front ends, which are pulled out from the finger insertion opening 4 and are separated from each other, are fitted to each other.

Subsequently, the card case is changed over to the rear end side, and as shown in FIG. 6, the card case is sandwiched between the index finger f1 and the middle finger f3, and the thumb f2 is protruded from the lower left corner of the front cover sheet 1a. The lower end of the cover sheet 1a on the front side is folded back to the front side by hanging it on the piece 8a and using the index finger f1 as a lever to separate the male and female hooks 6a, 6b on the lower end. Then, the seventh
As shown in the drawing, the cover sheet 1a on the front side is sandwiched between the thumb f2 and the index finger f1 in the folded state, and the cover sheet 1b on the other side is the middle finger f3 located on the other side.
And the ring finger f4 and the little finger f5 located inside.

When the commuter pass 5 is inserted into the slot s of the automatic ticket gate as described above, the commuter pass 5 immediately moves to the outlet e while receiving a check of predetermined items.

Then, as described above, as shown in FIG. 7, the card case is held, and the commuter pass 5 at the outlet e is inserted between the cover sheet 1a on the front side and the cover sheet 1b on the back side from the lower end thereof. Then, the cover sheet 1a on the front side is returned to its original shape by pulling out from the outlet e, and the commuter pass 5 is slid inward with the thumb f2 as much as necessary. It is sufficient to push the hooks 6a and 6b at the front end until they come into contact with each other. Alternatively, the rear end may be checked with the check hole 7 and may be inside the hooks 6a and 6b at the rear end. In this state, male and female hooks 6a,
6b is fitted. By doing this, the commuter pass 5 is hooked 6a,
There is no danger of scratching with 6b.

In this way, with this card case, the commuter pass 5 can be smoothly put in and taken out with one hand. Therefore, it is particularly convenient when carrying a bag or other baggage in the other hand.

By the way, in this card case, another commuter pass can be used in the same manner as described above by inserting the commuter pass with the back side facing the back side of the commuter pass 5.

Note that the procedure for taking the commuter pass 5 in and out of the card case with one hand is not limited to that shown above. This is a more appropriate example.

[Effect of the Invention] With the card case of the present invention, the commuter pass can be inserted and removed smoothly with one hand. Therefore, it is particularly convenient when carrying a bag or other baggage in the other hand. Needless to say, a ticket gate without an automatic ticket gate can be used like a general card case.
