Description
- The present invention relates to a card wallet for a mobile phone, which is used in the state of being attached to a mobile phone to prevent loss thereof and which allows a card to be easily taken out thereof.
- Generally, a wallet is used by a user so as to allow the user to carry cash, cards and the like in the state of being received in the wallet. Although cash such as bills and coins were mainly used in the past, users who use cards, such as credit cards, transportation cards and credit cards combined with transportation cards, as main payment means are gradually increasing with the propagation of electronic payment systems.
- Accordingly, because card wallets become essential goods of modern people, most people carry a card wallet at all times.
- However, because a card wallet configured to receive therein only cards is small in size, loss of the card wallet due to negligence while the card wallet is repeatedly put in and taken out of a pocket of an item of clothing frequently occurs.
- Furthermore, in the case of manufacturing a card wallet having a compact size corresponding to a card, because it is difficult to pick a card with user's fingers when the user takes the card out of the card wallet, the card is not easily taken out of the card wallet. In particular, when payment is conducted via a card during driving of a vehicle, there is a problem whereby safe driving is interrupted.

Here, the locations of the magnetic member and the magnetic body may be reversed. - In the embodiment, the magnetic member may be composed of a circular plate-shaped permanent magnet while the magnetic body may be composed of a plate-shaped metal. Examples of the metal may include iron, nickel or cobalt which is a ferromagnetic body.
- As illustrated in
FIG. 2 , the card C is generally inserted and received in the reception space in the state of being exposed at a portion of the upper end thereof. - When the card C is picked and taken out of the card wallet with user's fingers, the case in which the user's fingers catch on the
rear part 10 and thus the card C is not easily taken out of the card wallet frequently occurs because the card C is in close contact with therear part 10. - Accordingly, the present invention has a technical characteristic in that the holding
band 40 is first pulled upwards with user's finger such that the upper end of the card C is exposed to the outside of the card wallet 100, that is, to the outside of therear part 10 by a predetermined height before the card C is taken out of the card wallet 100, thereby allowing the card C to be easily picked by fingers and to be easily taken out of the card wallet 100. - In connection therewith,
FIG. 5 is a plan view illustrating the state in which the upper end of the card C is pulled and exposed to the outside of the card wallet 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention.FIGS. 6A-6B are side views illustrating the principle by which the upper end of the card C is pulled and exposed from the card wallet 100. - Referring to
FIGS. 5 and 6 , when a card C is inserted into the reception space in the card wallet according to the embodiment of the present invention, the lower end of the card is disposed on the upper surface of the U-shaped bent portion 420. Consequently, when the extendingportion 44 of the holdingband 40 is pulled upwards, the innermovable portion 43 is moved upwards while pulling the U-shapedbent portion 42 upwards, thereby moving the card disposed on the upper surface of the U-shapedbent portion 42 upwards. - According to the embodiment of the present invention, the inner surface of the
rear part 10 may be provided with aguide member 50, which is configured to guide the movement of the innermovable portion 43 in the state in which the innermovable portion 43 is in close contact with therear part 10. In the embodiment, theguide member 50 may be composed of a close contact cover, which covers the innermovable portion 43 from the outside and pushes the innermovable portion 43 toward therear part 10 to bring the innermovable portion 43 into close contact with the inner surface of therear part 10. - In the embodiment, because one end of the U-shaped
bent portion 42 extends to the lower end of the close contact cover, the lower end of theclose contact cover 50 is preferably positioned higher than thefixed end 41 of the holdingband 40 in order to increase the lifting height of the card C. - Consequently, according to the embodiment of the present invention, because the upper end of the card C becomes exposed from the
rear part 10 by a predetermined height when the card C is taken out of the card wallet 100, it is possible to allow a user to easily pick the card C with his/her fingers and then take the card C out of the card wallet 100 with ease. - According to an embodiment of the present invention, the inner surface of the U-shaped
bent portion 42 may be provided near thefront part 20 with asupport protrusion 70, which supports and raises the lower end of the card C to increase the lifting height of the card C. - Referring to
FIGS. 6A-6B , when the innermovable portion 43 of the holdingband 40 is moved upwards, the card C disposed on the lower end of the U-shapedbent portion 42 is raised. Specifically, when the innermovable portion 43 of the holdingband 40 is moved upwards, the U-shapedbent portion 42 is stretched linearly and the card supported by thesupport protrusion 70 is raised, as illustrated inFIG. 6B . Accordingly, the card C is raised to a higher level than the case shown inFIG. 6A which is not provided with thesupport protrusion 70, thereby offering an effect of allowing the card C to be more efficiently exposed from the card wallet. - After the card C is completely taken out of the card wallet 100, the inner
movable portion 43 is in the state of being moved upwards together with the U-shapedbent portion 42. Accordingly, in order to restore the innermovable portion 43 and the U-shapedbent portion 42 to the original positions, the card C must be pushed into the reception space. - According to an embodiment of the present invention, an
elastic member 60 may further be provided between the lower portion of the innermovable portion 43 and the lower end of therear part 10 and be connected thereto so as to provide the pulled innermovable portion 43 with a restoring force. Consequently, after the card C is completely taken out of the card wallet 100, the innermovable portion 43 and the U-shapedbent portion 42 are automatically restored to the original positions by the restoring force of theelastic member 60. - As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, since the card wallet is attached to the rear surface of a mobile phone by magnetic attraction, there is an effect of being capable of preventing loss of the mobile phone due to negligence while the small-sized card wallet is repeatedly put into and taken out of a pocket of a clothing.
- Furthermore, according to the present invention, since the holding band is pulled upwards and thus the upper end of a card is exposed to the outside of the card wallet by a predetermined height before the card is taken out of the card wallet, there is an effect of being capable of allowing the card to be easily picked and be taken out of the card wallet with user's fingers.
- In addition, according to the present invention, since the lower portion of the holding band is provided with the support protrusion configured to support the lower end of a card in order to support and raise the card, there is an effect of being capable of more efficiently exposing the card from the card wallet.
- The present invention relates to a card wallet for a mobile phone. According to the present invention, it is possible to prevent loss of the card wallet because the card wallet is used in the state of being attached to the mobile phone. Furthermore, since the upper end of a card is first exposed to the outside from the card wallet when the card is taken out of the card wallet, there is an effect of being capable of allowing the card to be easily taken out of the card wallet.
- Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed for illustrative purposes, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, additions and substitutions are possible, without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as disclosed in the accompanying claims.
