Definitions

  • the credit cards are spreading for a wider and wider range of services, for example in the drink dispensers and so on.
  • Every known kind of cards shows an important problem that is how to know the residual credit and how to identify, between two cards, which one has the greater credit.
  • the prior art problem is solved by the present invention which refers to a case for magnetic cards, of the telephone or motorway kind or other, equipped with a residual credit indicator, which may be of the rotative kind or of the linear shift slider kind.
  • the case according to the present invention allows the user to manually set the card residual credit and to know in every moment such an amount without having to resort to the relative magnetic reading apparatus of the public telephone or of the motorway automatic counter.
  • the case according to the present invention has the shape of a flat rectangular box (1).
  • the inner space of said box is divided by a diaphragm (2) into two compartments each intended to house a magnetic card.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 refer to a single case shown respectively by a surface and by the opposite surface, each of which is equipped with an indicator system, for the respective magnetic card.
  • Said rotative indicator system is formed by three rotating, knurled small wheels (3), (4) and (5), carrying along the circumference a numeration from 0 to 9, as it is shown in detail in the Figure 3.
  • Said small wheels are enclosed in a case (6) equipped on the upper part with little windows (7), (8) and (9) in order to allow the reading of the interested digit and laterally with a slot from which comes out an arc of the small wheels which allows the manual rotation as it is better pointed out in the Figure 3.
  • the credit is set in tens of thousands fire, in the small wheel (4) in thousands fire and in the small wheel (5) in hundreds fire.
  • the slider (11) slides along a strip (12) equipped with a graduated scale which represents all the intermediate possible values which the credit of the card may take on.
  • the movements of the slider are constrained to said graduated scale by an inner knurling to the sliding movement.
  • the slider indicator is particularly suitable for high sums as it is required for example for the motorway toll.
  • the case is made of shock-resistant preferably transparent plastic material.
  • the elements of the indicator systems are preferably made of plastic material.
  • the inner compartments suitable to receive the cards have the thickness about equal to one millimetre and the size suitable to contain the cards.
  • the variation considering on both surfaces the rotative indicator or the sliding indicator is included the variation considering a single inner compartment for a single card equipped with a rotative indicator or with a slider indicator.
  • the number of the small wheels of the rotative indicator may be different from three.
