Abstract

The case is constructed from a thermoplastic plastics material. The inner surfaces of the case (9,10) have protuberances (5-8) running in the direction in which the credit card is inserted. The protuberances are spaced apart so that they lie outside the surface of the magnetic strip. Each case consists of two equal or different half-shells welded together and slightly concave so that different thickness of credit cards are held tightly. The two narrow sides of the case are open. The case is not longer than the card. <IMAGE>

Description

Technisches GebietTechnical field

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist eine aus Thermoplast bestehende Scheckkartenhülle, die mindestens an einer Schmalseite offen ist. Derartige Hüllen bestehen üblicherweise aus einem mehr oder Weniger transparenten Thermoplast.The invention relates to a credit card sleeve consisting of thermoplastic which is open at least on one narrow side. Such covers usually consist of a more or less transparent thermoplastic.

Beim Einschieben und Herausziehen der Karte tritt eine Reibung zwischen Scheckkarte und Hülle auf, die in Verbindung mit Staubkörnern dazu führen kann, daß der Magnetstreifen zerkratzt oder beschädigt wird.When the card is inserted and removed, there is friction between the credit card and the sleeve, which in combination with dust particles can lead to the magnetic strip being scratched or damaged.

Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Scheckkartenhülle so zu gestalten, daß die Kartenoberfläche optimal geschützt ist.The invention has for its object to design the bank card sleeve so that the card surface is optimally protected.

Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß die Innenflächen der Hülle mit Erhebungen versehen sind, die so angeordnet sind, daß sie außerhalb der Fläche des Magnetstreifens der einzuschiebenden Karte verlaufen.This object is achieved in that the inner surfaces of the sleeve are provided with elevations which are arranged such that they run outside the surface of the magnetic strip of the card to be inserted.

Beschreibung der ZeichnungenDescription of the drawings

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird anhand von Fig. 1 bis 4 der Zeichnung erläutert.

Fig. 1

Fig. 4
diese Ausführungsform im Querschnitt.
An embodiment of the invention is explained with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4 of the drawing.
Fig. 1
shows the credit card cover from the front,
Fig. 2
a cross section,
Fig. 3
the shell half of another embodiment,
Fig. 4
this embodiment in cross section.

In Fig. 1 ist mit 1 die rechte Kante, mit 2 die linke Kante und mit 3 die untere Kante der Hülle bezeichnet. An der oberen offenen Schmalseite 4 wird die nicht dargestellte Scheckkarte eingeführt. Die Innenflächen der Hülle sind mit parallelen Erhebungen 5, 6, 7, 8 versehen, deren Abstand so groß ist, daß der Magnetstreifen zwischen den Erhebungen 5 und 6 oder 7 und 8 liegt.In Fig. 1, 1 denotes the right edge, 2 the left edge and 3 the lower edge of the shell. On the upper open narrow side 4, the check card, not shown, is inserted. The inner surfaces of the shell are provided with parallel elevations 5, 6, 7, 8, the spacing of which is so large that the magnetic stripe between the elevations 5 and 6 or 7 and 8 lies.

In Fig. 2 ist die Vorderseite 9 der Hülle an ihrer inneren Fläche mit den Erhebungen 5, 6, 7, 8 versehen. In gleicher Weise trägt die Rückseite 10 der Hülle an ihrer dem Innenraum zugewandten Fläche die Erhebungen 11, 12, 13, 14.In Fig. 2 the front 9 of the shell is provided on its inner surface with the elevations 5, 6, 7, 8. In the same way, the rear side 10 of the casing carries the elevations 11, 12, 13, 14 on its surface facing the interior.

Die Erhebungen 5 - 8 und 11 - 14 sind mit einigen Zehntel Millimetern so hoch, daß der Magnetstreifen der Karte nicht mit dem Werkstoff der Hülle in Berührung kommen kann. Ganz unabhängig davon, wie man die Karte einführt, liegt der Magnetstreifen immer geschützt zwischen zweien der acht Erhebungen.The elevations 5 - 8 and 11 - 14 are so high with a few tenths of a millimeter that the magnetic stripe of the card cannot come into contact with the material of the sleeve. Regardless of how you insert the card, the magnetic stripe is always protected between two of the eight elevations.

Zur Erleichterung der Entnahme der Karte kann die Hülle mit einem ovalen Griffloch 15 versehen sein.To facilitate removal of the card, the sleeve can be provided with an oval grip hole 15.

Zur weiteren Schonung der Karten werden die Einlaufschwellen an der offenen Schmalseite 4 abgerundet.To further protect the cards, the entry thresholds on the open narrow side 4 are rounded off.

Fig. 3 zeigt die Innenseite einer Hüllenhälfte 20, die links und rechts durch überhöhte Kanten 21, 22 begrenzt ist. Dazwischen liegen vier Reihen von punktförmigen Höckern 23, 24, 25, 26, auf denen die Kartenoberfläche leicht gleitet. Mit 27 ist eine Griffaussparung bezeichnet, mit 28 ein Langloch für eine Schlaufe.Fig. 3 shows the inside of a shell half 20, which is delimited on the left and right by raised edges 21, 22. In between are four rows of punctiform bumps 23, 24, 25, 26 on which the card surface glides easily. With 27 a handle recess is designated, with 28 an elongated hole for a loop.

Fig. 4 zeigt den Querschnitt durch eine Scheckkartenhülle, die aus zwei Hälften 20, 29 nach Fig. 3 zusammengeschweißt ist. Die beiden Halbschalen sind leicht konkav ausgebildet, so daß sie in der MItte fast zusammenstoßen. Durch diese Wölbung werden Karten unterschiedlicher Dicke festgeklemmt ohne durchzurutschen.FIG. 4 shows the cross section through a bank card sleeve which is welded together from two halves 20, 29 according to FIG. 3. The two half-shells are slightly concave, so that they almost collide in the middle. Due to this curvature, cards of different thicknesses are clamped without slipping.

Bei der Scheckkartenhülle nach Fig. 3 und 4 sind beide Schmalseiten offen, so daß die Karte beliebig eingeschoben und ausgezogen werden kann. Die Hülle braucht dann nicht länger zu sein als die Karte.
Dies hat den Vorteil, daß die Karte mit der Hülle in die knapp bemessenen Täschchen der Brieftaschen oder Geldbörsen paßt.
3 and 4, both narrow sides are open, so that the card can be inserted and removed as desired. The case then need not be longer than the card.
This has the advantage that the card with the sleeve fits into the tightly dimensioned pockets of the wallets or purses.

Gewerbliche VerwertbarkeitCommercial usability

Die beschriebene Scheckkartenhülle läßt sich leicht aus transparentem, opakem oder eingefärbtem Thermoplast herstellen, wobei Vorder- und Rückseite unterschiedlich gefärbt sein können. Sie kann als Zugabe zu den Kreditkarten verteilt und nach Belieben mit Werbeaufdrucken versehen werden.The credit card sleeve described can easily be made from transparent, opaque or colored thermoplastic, and the front and back can be colored differently. It can be distributed as an addition to the credit cards and can be provided with advertising imprints as required.

Darüber hinaus läßt sich die Hülle durch Einziehen einer Halteschlaufe in das Langloch in einen Kofferanhänger verwandeln.In addition, the case can be transformed into a luggage tag by pulling a strap into the slot.
