Definitions

  • the invention relates to a holding device for cards and/or notes according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • a holding device whose housing can be produced using a two-component casting process, but where different plastics are used for the housing and a clamp, is from the DE 20 2017 105 482 U1 known.
  • DE 20 2017 105482 U1 discloses a holding device for cards and/or bills, containing an upwardly open housing which has a base, the base having upwardly projecting side webs arranged at a distance from one another, the housing having at least one lubricant.
  • the US 8,464,865 B1 discloses a card holder that may be constructed of metal or plastic and held together by screws or adhesive or, alternatively, injection molded.
  • the US 2007/0 089 999 A1 teaches using a steel mold, melting polycarbonate pellets, and injecting them into that mold to create a card holder.
  • a holding device which enables cards, in particular credit cards and/or banknotes, to be stored in a functional manner, and can be easily removed from the holding device.
  • This holding device requires little material and has a low overall weight. Furthermore, the known holding device enables the safe storage of both individual cards and/or notes as well as a large number of them.
  • the known holding device has side webs arranged parallel to one another, between which cards are stacked, with a clamp acting on the cards from above.
  • Banknotes can be arranged between the clip and the cards.
  • Cards especially credit cards or cards for topping up with money or so-called loyalty points, increasingly have sensitive magnetic stripes, chips or laminates that must be treated as gently as possible.
  • Banknotes especially banknotes outside the EU, can also be made of very thin paper and tend to tear, especially after prolonged use.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of producing a housing for a holding device for cards and/or banknotes without any problems and thereby ensuring that the cards and/or banknotes to be inserted are protected as much as possible.
  • the housing is produced by powder injection molding and has at least one lubricant.
  • inorganic materials such as metals or ceramics can be processed by powder injection molding.
  • a housing that is essentially made entirely of inorganic material can be shaped individually in three dimensions relatively easily and can be modified with regard to its physical properties, its roughness and/or its feel in such a way that cards and/or bills are gently received.
  • lubricant By providing a lubricant on a housing, cards and/or banknotes can also be protected, regardless of the material from which the housing is made. For example, if the housing is made of a rough plastic, lubricants can protect cards and/or banknotes.
  • lubricants can also protect the cards and/or bills.
  • the housing could have metal or be made of metal.
  • the housing can advantageously be cast from a metal with plastic. The plastic is removed after casting, leaving a pure cast metal housing.
  • the housing could be manufactured by metal powder injection molding (MIM). Titanium could be used as a metal. Titanium causes almost no allergic reactions in the user of the holding device.
  • the housing could have a ceramic or consist of a ceramic.
  • the housing can advantageously be cast from a ceramic with plastic. The plastic is removed after casting, resulting in a pure cast ceramic housing.
  • the housing could be manufactured by ceramic powder injection molding (CIM).
  • the lubricant is assigned to the bottom of the housing and its lubricating surface is accessible from above so that a credit card can slide on the lubricant when inserted into the housing.
  • the card does not slide directly on the floor and is therefore protected if the material of the housing is rough.
  • extruded separate elements which are shaped like a dome, like a rounded head or like a lens are preferred.
  • PA6 or polycarbonate are conceivable materials for the lubricants.
  • the coefficient of friction of the lubricant material may be greater than that of metal or ceramic, but there will still be no damage to the laminate of a card as it slides on the lubricant.
  • the lubricant could be at least partially accommodated in a recess or recess in the base, so that its lubricating surface at least partially protrudes from the base and/or is at least partially lower than the base.
  • the lubricant can advantageously be glued as a separate part into a kind of crater in the ground or fixed in some other way. If the lubricant is lower than the ground, for example if the base of the recess or depression is oblique or inclined The lubricants do not become crumbly or rejected due to the constant insertion.
  • lubricants could be provided, with the lubricating surface of a lubricant at the rear in the insertion direction having a higher coefficient of friction than the lubricating surface of a lubricant at the front in the insertion direction.
  • a card when a card is removed, it is initially more firmly fixed and the further it is pushed out, the less fixed it becomes.
  • the lubricant could be made of a plastic, a textile material, leather or artificial leather. Textiles such as felt plugs are advantageously inexpensive. Higher quality lubricants may feature leather or synthetic leather.
  • a clip or several plastic clips could be assigned to the housing.
  • one or more clips could be arranged in the housing in a reversibly removable manner.
  • the holding device is advantageously designed in two parts, namely the housing made of an inorganic material and the clip made of made of plastic.
  • a clip can be used as a replacement part, regardless of the material it is made of. If the clip is fixed with hot glue, the user can remove the used clip themselves by heating the inorganic casing. Then a clamp can be easily replaced.
  • a clip could have at least one insertion tongue for insertion into a slot in the housing, with a recess being formed in the insertion tongue. Struts or ribs could be provided in the slots, which extend from one longitudinal wall of one slot to the opposite one.
  • the clip could have two recesses in its two insertion tongues in order to accommodate or encompass these struts or ribs when it is inserted into the slots.
  • the cover can also have corresponding recesses in order to encompass struts or ribs.
  • the struts or ribs allow the longitudinal walls of a slot or a groove to have thinner wall thicknesses. Struts or ribs are preferred means of keeping slots or grooves straight during powder injection molding and to avoid deformation of the slots or grooves.
  • the housing could be made of or have a precious metal.
  • the holding device can advantageously be made from a high-quality metal. All you need is a plaster mold.
  • the side webs could, together with the base, at least in sections form an insertion compartment, which has an insertion width at least in sections along a defined clamping length is larger than 52 mm and smaller than 53.98 mm.
  • the insertion width could be in an upper range between 54 and 54.2 mm and/or expand from 53.98 mm to a value that is in the range between 54 mm and 54.2 mm. This would ensure that standard credit cards can be accepted without any problems and still be securely secured.
  • the clamping length could be in the range of 3mm to 85.6mm. These length ranges have proven to be useful in order to ensure sufficient to effect lateral fixation and clamping of cards.
  • a slightly longer clamping length of 6 mm to 85.6 mm is preferred, particularly preferably a long clamping length of 10 mm to 85.6 mm.
  • the inner contact surfaces of the side webs could be arranged parallel to one another at least along the clamping length. As a result, cards are held clamped over a certain height by the side bars alone.
  • the inner contact surfaces of the side webs could be shaped or inclined in such a way that a card inserted into the housing is bulged upwards or downwards or received at an angle relative to the floor. This means that a card is held in the housing in a force-fitting manner with slight deformation.
  • the floor or part of the floor could be reversibly deformable at least in sections and/or curved or curved under prestress. This allows part of the base to give way and change shape to compensate for, reduce or prevent excessive clamping of a card being inserted.
  • the housing could be manufactured using a two-component casting process.
  • individual areas or parts of the housing, in particular a bracket thereof, can be made from different materials with different moduli of elasticity.
  • a clip can be made from a relatively elastic plastic and the rest of the housing from a relatively stiff plastic.
  • the holding device is characterized by a simple construction and enables cards and/or banknotes to be stored in a functional manner, with insertion and removal being easy.
  • a holding device of the type described here could have one or more clamps to press cards and/or banknotes from above against the floor.
  • At least one clamp could have its clamping force supported by a separate spring means. This means that a clamp can exert sufficient spring force towards the floor, even if the material shows signs of fatigue.
  • the separate spring means could be designed as a leaf spring, spiral spring or spring clip. Such spring means are inexpensive and easy to process.
  • the housing could be formed in one piece, and the clip could preferably be an integral part of the same.
  • the holding device is advantageously designed as a case and is used to store cards, such as credit cards or check cards, in particular in the usual so-called credit card format, as well as banknotes, documents, notes or the like.
  • both the bills and the cards are clamped in the housing, with additional means for holding the cards separately not being necessary, but can be provided.
  • the housing has two side bars that protrude from the floor and are opposite one another, between which the card or cards can be fixed. Provided there are no cards or bills in the case are arranged, the bracket or brackets extend at least approximately to the bottom of the housing.
  • the base preferably contains a recess through which the at least one resilient clip reaches or can reach through as long as there are no cards or bills in the holding device.
  • the area above the base and the webs is free and there is no upper part, so that the clip extends at least to the base and/or the recess in the base and can preferably reach at least partially through the recess.
  • the spring-elastic clamp When a card and/or a note is inserted, the spring-elastic clamp is raised and pre-tensioned, so that only a single card is subsequently held securely or clamped in the housing due to the pre-tension.
  • the dimension of the recess is preferably set so large that the card or cards can be easily moved with two fingers or thumbs in such a way that the desired card is easily accessible and can be removed.
  • the recess preferably has a significantly larger width than the clip or clips, in such a way that a user can reach through with a finger, for example, on at least one side or in the area of the tip of the clip. In this way, the biasing force exerted on the cards by means of the clamp or clamps can be minimized and the desired card can be easily removed from the housing.
  • the side bars mentioned advantageously have different heights in such a way that bills or even larger cards can be stored than due to the distance between them Side bars, such as business cards, can protrude beyond the shorter side bar and are nevertheless securely fixed.
  • a lid in particular a flexible lid, is additionally provided, which is attached to one of the side webs mentioned or to a connecting web thereof and can also be replaced if necessary.
  • the housing preferably contains at least one indentation to make it easier to insert or remove cards and/or bills.

  • the clip 4 is arranged inclined to the floor 6 at a predetermined angle as long as neither cards nor bills are inserted into the holding device. This creates a preload. If even a single card is inserted into the housing 2, the clamp 8 is lifted out of the recess 8 in the direction of arrow 40 and already holds this single card firmly in the housing 2 due to the predetermined preload.
  • the preload is specified due to the spring elasticity of the clip 4 and also in a particularly advantageous manner via the connecting web 14, on which torsional forces act on the card or cards and banknotes via the clip 4, especially since there is no base part in the area of the connecting web 14.
  • the pressure or force of the clamp 4 is built up not only through the bending ability of the two clamp parts 30, 32, but also through torsion of the connecting web 14. Furthermore, the two clamp parts 30, 32 are due to the optimized bendability and thus the application of the Preloading force and / or the clamping force against the direction of arrow 40 is involved.
  • the clamp 4 and/or the clamp parts 30, 32 in the connection area with the connecting web 14 have a thickness 42 which is greater than the thickness 44 at the free end 36.

  • the lower side bar 12 is advantageously designed in such a way that, in the case of fewer cards, banknotes or documents or the like, they can protrude laterally without being bulky. Due to the asymmetrical design of the side webs 10, 12 and therefore of the housing 2, safe storage of the notes 52 or documents or the like and/or the cards 50 is achieved.
  • a user can press from the underside of the housing 2 through the recess 8 in the base 6 with one finger, preferably with two fingers or both thumbs, towards the clip 4. This minimizes the holding force applied by the clamp 4 and the desired card 50 can be easily pushed out.
