Description

This utility model relates to devices, primarily mobile, portable devices for securing and storing modules with a through hole. Advantageously, the present utility model is intended for securing and storing a module with radio frequency identification means.

Rather common types of means of radio frequency identification are electronic keys for access to various objects, keys for intercoms, pass to the office, access keys for attractions, in pools and other facilities, car keys with a built-in immobilizer, etc. In addition, such means of identification are used as a carrier information about the visitor to the event or store, or the patient of the medical institution. Also, they can be used as means of payment and accounting.

The widespread use of radio-frequency identification means has identified the problem of wearing and preservation of these funds by users.

Radio frequency identification modules are known comprising a housing in which a radio frequency identification means is integrated, for example RFID, NFC tags, or other known radio frequency identification systems.

Moreover, the known RFID modules have many different types and designs. The so-called “wearable devices” are widely used, in which the case of the identification module is made in the form of human-made accessories, such as bracelets (GB 2492455), pendants, key rings (RU 120550), worn on the person’s finger rings (RU 165960) etc. (http://rfid-m.ru/sistemy/juvelirnaja-industrija_rfid.php, https://m.alibaba.com/trade/search?SearchText=rfid%20bracelet),

These modules in the form of "wearable devices" are convenient to use.

However, the described known radio frequency identification modules are characterized by a non-separable implementation, since the radio frequency identification means (for example, RFID, NFC tags) are built into the housing, made for example in the form of a “wearable device” (bracelet, pendant, key fob, etc.), which is essential limits the use of such modules and means of identification. In particular, the radio frequency identification module, in which the identification means is permanently integrated into the case in the form of a bracelet, cannot be used in the form of a key fob or pendant. In addition, in such a module, the information medium can only be changed together with the module itself, namely its body (bracelet, key fob, etc.). https://www.google.com/search?q=RFID++%D0%BD%D0%BE%D1%81%D0%B8%D1%82%D1%8C&newwindow=1&rlz=1C1CAFB_enRU599RU607&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=un&source=un&source=un&source=un X & ved = 2ahUKEwiUi5Ph7c7cAhUFGCwKHTbjDNEQsAR6BAgGEAE & biw = 1282 & bih = 618 # imgrc = nuECw27InaZuTM:

Known adopted for the prototype, the system according to patent RU 2621975 (Delegation of processing from a portable electronic device), which contains a module that includes a housing with a built-in multifunctional electronic device and a device for securing the module housing. In certain embodiments, an electronic device may be used to pay for a product using NFC, RFID, or any other suitable type of short-range communication, including functioning as a key to unlock or turn on one or more vehicles. The user can, for example, enter the code using the outer ring to unlock or turn on the vehicle (for example, using NFC technology). In the described system, the multifunctional module can be mounted on different devices, mainly on "wearable devices". In particular, said “wearable device” can be implemented as a strap that can be worn on a user's hand, wrist, waist or leg, in the form of a clip for attaching to parts of a clothing, necklace or bracelet, key chain, or may have another accessory configuration for fixing the device, for example, in the user's pocket. Moreover, the specified wearable device is equipped with a substrate and a means of detachable mounting on it of the housing of the multifunctional module, made with through holes, containing known fasteners, namely screws, bolts, fixed to the device through the through holes of the module housing and the substrate of the device.

The described device for mounting a module with an electronic device allows you to removably attach various modules of electronic devices to it, or use one module on different "wearable devices". However, the means of detachable connection of the device with the module used in this portable device is rather inconvenient and difficult to use, since it includes many small fasteners, which greatly complicates the disassembly and assembly of the device and the replacement of the device or module.

In addition, this unit can be fixed, several modules are put on the rack.

The implementation of the rack of elastic material allows for a tight fit of the module on the rack, which prevents the loss of the module during operation of the device and, thereby, increases the safety of the module in this device and the reliability of the device. Moreover, for a snug fit of the walls of the module to the wall of the rack, it is advisable that the diameter of the rack in its middle part be not less than the diameter of the hole of the module or comparable to it.

It is possible to use the device with various modules and objects having a through hole. In an advantageous embodiment, the device is designed for removable mounting on it of a module with radio frequency identification means integrated in the module housing provided with a through hole.

However, the device can be used to attach other objects as modules, for example, on the proposed device, an ordinary jewelry ring can be fixed when it cannot be worn on the finger, for example, when visiting a sauna or gym.

It is advisable that part of the rack from the side of the free end had a larger transverse dimensions than in its middle part.

The execution of the rack part from the free end side of larger transverse dimensions than in its middle part, that is, the presence of a thickening at its free end, prevents the module from sliding off and losing it during operation and, thereby, also increases the safety of the module and, accordingly, the reliability of the fastening means of the device and the device itself.

Moreover, the execution of the rack of elastic material provides the ability to compress its thickened end during putting on or removing the module, which provides ease and simplicity of assembly and disassembly of the device with the module.

Also, in order to increase the reliability of the device and its fastening means for the safety of the module on the device, it is advisable that a recess is made on the substrate at the junction with the rack to accommodate the module worn on the rack. With the same, it is advisable that the column in cross section has a shape that is responsive to the shape of the module opening.

It is advisable that the recess in the longitudinal section was made in the form selected from the group: circle, rectangle, ellipse.

The indicated forms of the recesses are intended for modules of a similar shape, which are fairly technologically advanced forms of modules, including with radio frequency identification means.

It is advisable that the device was made in the form of an accessory worn by a person.

As such an accessory can be a bracelet, ring, pendant, keychain and other wearable items. The implementation of the device in the form of a "wearable device" is characterized by ease of use. Moreover, the ability to easily change the module allows, depending on the conditions, to use different accessories for the same module.

It is also possible to implement the device in the form of an accessory attached to any smooth surface, for example, to a mirror in the hallway.

When used for access control at the entrance to the car, it is advisable that the device was made in the form of an accessory attached to the vehicle.

In the future, the proposed utility model will be described in more detail on specific examples of its implementation with reference to the drawings, which depict:
