Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] Recently, automatic ticket gates are being introduced at each station, and an increasing number of stations are equipped with automatic ticket gates. As a result, the commuter passes used by passengers were changed to those with a ferromagnetic coating on the back.

For this reason, passengers using an automatic ticket gate commuter pass cannot present it to the ticket gate staff as in the past, but instead take it out of the commuter pass and put it in the automatic ticket gate in order to pass through the ticket gate. must be inserted. After passing through the ticket gates, the commuter pass that comes out of the automatic ticket gate machine must be taken out and placed in the commuter pass holder. This operation is much more troublesome compared to the previous method of using a regular pass, since many people who commute to work or school carry a bag or other baggage in one hand.

Therefore, some people carry their commuter passes at automatic ticket gates naked in their pockets without putting them in their commuter pass holders, but in this case, there is a risk of losing the commuter pass since it is just a single card. In addition, the commuter pass may become bent due to external force, making it difficult to insert into the automatic ticket gate, or the automatic ticket gate may not be able to read it.

The purpose of this invention is to allow commuter passes to be taken in and out of the commuter pass holder with an extremely simple operation using one hand, and to be securely held inside the pass holder when not in use. To provide a commuter pass holder that not only eliminates the fear of loss and prevents the commuter pass from being deformed by external force, but also allows the commuter pass to be put in and taken out with only one hand.

For the same purpose, a system for sliding commuter passes in and out has been filed as Utility Application No. 57-78556. This is a sliding commuter pass case that has a slit in the center of the lid plate and a fastener on the side edge that can be hooked and removed when the main body and lid plate are in the closed state. In contrast, the device of the present invention has been improved so that the main body and cover plate open at the same time as the commuter pass is pushed out, and the hook can be set at the same time as the commuter pass is inserted into the case after the ticket gate and the commuter pass is stored. It has been devised.

This invention has a spring hinge that opens and closes a cover plate connected to a flat body by a hinge, and the center part of the side where the hinge is located extends beyond the width of the commuter pass, and the hinge is removed to make the commuter pass case. The commuter pass is slid out while the commuter pass is closed, and a bottom plate is interposed in a recess provided inside the main body so that the latch between the main body and the cover plate is released and the free end of the cover plate is opened at the same time as the pass starts sliding out. , the bottom plate is provided with a fastener as a hanging piece. An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. It is a case composed of a main body 1, a cover plate 2, a spring hinge 3, and a bottom plate 4. A recess is provided in the inner surface of the main body 1, and A thin bottom plate 4 is inserted, and the size of the bottom plate is made to almost match the vertical and horizontal lengths of the commuter pass. The recess has an upwardly sloped portion 6 toward the central edge on the hinge side. The bottom plate has a notched shape so as to avoid the uphill part 6, and is made of a hard plate. A fastener 5 is made to protrude from the opposite side of the notch part of the bottom plate 4. The cover plate 2 is flat and connected to the main body 1 by spring hinges 3, 3.
The free end of the other end is formed to cover the end of the main body 1, and has a hooking hole 7 at the end. A vertically long opening 8 is made in the center of the lid plate 2, and is large enough to fit a fingertip.

Next, the usage of the commuter pass case of the present invention will be explained. The commuter pass is stored between the main body 1 and the cover plate 2, and stored in a pocket or handbag. To take out the commuter pass, take out the commuter pass case with one hand, and use your thumb to slide the commuter pass inside the opening 8 toward the hinge side, and about half of the commuter pass will protrude from the case between the spring hinges 3 and 3. do. At this time, the bottom plate 4 also moves to the hinge side and the fastener 5 is removed. When you put your commuter pass through an automatic ticket gate, only the commuter pass leaves the case. In the case, the free end of the cover plate 2 is released from the main body 1 due to the action of the spring hinge, so the cover plate 2 opens around the hinges 3, 3. Next, place the commuter pass that is half protruding into the ticket gate of the automatic ticket gate into case body 1 and lid plate 2.
Sandwiched between. At this time, the lid plate 2 is closed so that half of the thumb is exposed through the opening 8 of the lid body 2 so that the lid plate can be closed at any time. Next, opening 8
Place the surface of the commuter pass on the surface of the commuter pass with your thumb and slide the pass to securely store it in the case. At this time, if the commuter pass is returned so that it does not pass too far between the main body and the cover plate, the bottom plate 4 will move back and the fastener 5 at the tip will engage, causing the main body 1 and the cover plate to 2.
is securely fastened.

As described above, the commuter pass case of the present invention consists of a main body 1, a cover plate 2, spring hinges 3, 3 connecting one end of each, and a bottom plate 4 having a fastener 5 at the end. Since it is a commuter pass case with an opening 8, its structure is extremely simple but highly effective.Even if your hands are full, you can insert and remove your commuter pass with just one hand. If it is made of transparent vinyl chloride resin or acrylic resin, it will be possible to check the expiry date of the commuter pass, the usage area, etc.
You can also check the price without taking the commuter pass out of the case, which is convenient when presenting the commuter pass or checking the display on the commuter pass. take out,
Since the rest is stored in a case, the commuter pass can be completely protected from damage caused by external forces, and it is convenient to handle, so it has great utility value.
