Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to a container for cards, and in particular, for credit cards and similar items.
- Conventional holders utilized for the safekeeping of cards, such as credit cards, are variously embodied; nearly all present the common feature of having one or more pockets, the dimensions of which are such as to permit of accommodating the single credit cards. In effect, such holders constitute special wallets in which to keep cards, and are fashioned in a wide variety of materials, from leathers to plastics. If designed to carry a substantial number of cards, in particular, these conventional wallets are beset by a number of limitations which render their use somewhat less than convenient. In many instances, in fact, users will experience a certain difficulty in extracting the card from the pocket in which it is inserted, and from which it tends to be inseparable. Moreover, where the wallet has a number of pockets arranged parallel and side by side, the drawback arises of not being able to identify and extract the required card with sufficient ease, especially when the card in question occupies one of the middle pockets and is therefore obscured by other cards.
- In an attempt to overcome such drawbacks and provide a card holder that will take up the least possible space, one has seen the appearance of concertina type wallets consisting in a set of pockets, each one of which designed to accommodate one card, that are connected one to the next in the manner of a bellows and thus fold flat one against the other, gathering up into a pack.
- The object of the invention is that of overcoming those drawbacks and inconveniences encountered with the use of conventional card wallets, achieved by adoption of a card container which features compact dimensions and is simple and practical to use. The stated objects and other objects besides are realized in a container according to the invention, which serves to hold cards, in particular, credit cards and similar items, and is characterized in that it comprises a box, parallelepiped in shape with an open top and a lid, of dimensions such that the space internally encompassed will accept a plurality of substantially identical cards stacked together in orderly fashion side by side, to an exact fit, and a manually operated device, located near the bottom of the box and accessible from the outside, by which the single cards are caused to emerge partially from the open top to different respective degrees by sliding in relation to one another in a direction parallel to their mutually breasted surfaces; in that the manually operated device comprises an elongated element, hinged about an axis disposed perpendicular to the front and back of the box, with which the breasted surfaces of the cards lie parallel, and shaped in such a way as to afford a succession of steps equal in number to the number of cards accommodated by the container; in that the steps exhibit respective surfaces, lying at different respective distances from the hinge axis, each one of which is designed to enter into contact with the lower edge of a single card, and possessed of a dimension parallel to the hinge axis that is substantially equal to the overall thickness of a single card; and in that the manually operated device comprises an element for manipulation of the device, positioned on the outside of the box, that is associated and rotatable as one with the hinged element.
- The invention will now be described in detail, by way of example, with the aid of the accompanying drawings, in which:
- fig 1 is the schematic representation of a first embodiment of the container, viewed in perspective and in the closed configuration;
- fig 2 is a perspective of the embodiment of fig 1 viewed in the open configuration;
- fig 3 is the schematic representation of a second embodiment of the container, illustrated in cutaway and viewed in section through IV-IV of fig 4;
- fig 4 shows part of a section taken through III-III in fig 3;
- fig 5 is the same section as that of fig 4, showing the container in a different configuration;
- fig 6 shows part of a section taken through VII-VII in fig 7, viewed in enlarged scale;
- fig 7 is the section through VI-VI in fig 6.
- With reference to the above drawings, 1 denotes a container, in its entirety, serving to accommodate
cards 2, in particular credit cards or similar items of the general type. - The container 1 comprises a box of parallelepiped shape, the dimensions of which are such that the space internally encompassed will accept a plurality of substantially
identical cards 2, stacked together in orderly fashion side by side, in an exact fit; 3 denotes the bottom of the box, located opposite an open top that is provided with a flip-up lid 4. The bottom end of the box incorporates a hand-operated device, accessible from outside, by means of which thecards 2 are made to emerge partly from the open top in a tiered formation, as shown in fig 2. - Operation of the device causes the
cards 2 to emerge from the container 1 by sliding in relation to one another, moving in a direction parallel to their mutuallybreasted surfaces 12. - The device in question comprises a
hinged element 5 of elongated form, associated with and rotatable about the axis of a pivot denoted 6; the axis in question lies perpendicular to thefront 7 and theback 8 of the container, with which thesurfaces 12 of the insertedcards 2 will be disposed parallel. The hingedelement 5 is embodied in such a way as to afford a succession ofsteps 9, provided in number to match the number ofcards 2 that can be held by the container 1. Eachstep 9 exhibits asurface 10, embodied as the segment of a cylinder with straight line generators that lie parallel to the axis of thepivot 6, that is designed to come into contact with the bottom edge of a singlerelative card 2; the width of thesurface 10, i.e. the dimension parallel to the axis of thepivot 6, is substantially equal to the overall thickness of aconventional credit card 2. In the embodiment illustrated, the distance between thesurfaces 10 of any twoadjacent steps 9, considered in a direction perpendicular to the axis of thepivot 6, remains constant. - 11 denotes a lever, accommodated internally of a cavity formed in the
front 7 of the container 1, which is disposed substantially parallel with the hingedelement 5 and fastened thereto by one end, concurrently with thepivot 6 by which the element is hinged to the box. The remaining end of thelever 11 is shaped such as to offer an easilyaccessible appendage 13. Theappendage 13 moves along a slot, created in the external wall of thehollow front 7 of the container and exhibiting the shape of arc to a circle, and is of dimensions such that it will not project beyond the outer surface of thefront 7. The axis of rotation of thepivot 6, hence of thehinged element 5, is located near to one of the two corners of the box created between thebottom 3 and the two oppositeupright sides 15; with the hinge axis thus positioned, it becomes possible to gain the maximum obtainable distance between thesurfaces 10 offered bysuccessive steps 9, hence maximum separation of the twoadjacent cards 2 resting with their lower edges on the two successive surfaces, when sliding out vertically in relation to one another. - In the closed configuration (fig 1), the open top of the container 1 is covered by the
lid 4, thehinged element 5 lies horizontal across thebottom 3, and the lower edges of thecards 2 therefore rest on the side of theelement 5. Thelid 4 is fastened by way offlexible catch components 16, one associated with the lid, the other with the container near to the relative top edge, that can be snapped together and separated by virtue of their elastic properties. Once having opened up thelid 4, thecards 2 carried by the container 1 can be made to emerge simply by applying manual pressure to theappendage 13 and rotating thehinged element 5 about the axis of thepivot 6 in the direction of the arrow denoted 17, the effect of which is that thesurfaces 10 of thesingle steps 9 enter into contact with the lower edges of therelative cards 2 and urge them upwards. The arrangement of thesurfaces 10 along the hingedelement 5 is such as to dictate that thecards 2 are displaced vertically through dissimilar distances, and presented ultimately in a tiered array; thus, thecard 2 effectively required can be singled out from the rest of the stack with considerable ease. Maximum extension of thecards 2 is obtained with the hingedelement 5 disposed upright, or rather, when theappendage 13 occupies position B. - The cards are replaced, allowed to drop back into the box under their own weight, by returning the
appendage 13 from position B to position A, in which thehinged element 5 lies parallel to thebottom 3. In keeping thelid 4 securely fastened, thecatch components 16 prevent unwarranted emergence of thecards 2 in the container 1, as any departure from the horizontal position A of thehinged element 5, hence of theappendage 13, is disallowed. - In a second embodiment of the container illustrated in figs 3...7, unwarranted emergence of the
cards 2 is also prevented with the lid open, by providingflexible strips 20 applied in symmetrical fashion to the inside faces of the twosides 15 of the box. Eachstrip 20 is embodied with twobulges 21, the convex sides of which are directed toward the inside of the box and proportioned so as to ensure that contact is made with the side edges of thecards 2; more exactly, the dimensions and shape of the twostrips 20 are such that the distance separating the inward-facing convex sides of each symmetrically disposed pair of bulges is marginally less than the transverse dimensions of thecards 2. - Insertion and retention of the
cards 2 are rendered possible by the elastic properties of thestrips 20, which will flex when impinged up by the cards, and thereafter exert a degree of pressure on the edges of the cards sufficient to prevent their unwarranted withdrawal from the container when open. - The retaining action produced by the
strips 20 will allow thecards 2 to extend in the characteristic tiered formation described above, regardless of the position assumed by the container. - In this embodiment, the
cards 2 are replaced simply by applying gentle pressure to their top edges, the result of which is that thehinged element 5 will be pushed downward by the lower edges of the cards and returned to its initial position parallel with thebottom 3 of the container. - Any danger of jamming is forestalled by virtue of the fact that, when rotated to its maximum travel and occupying position B, the
hinged element 5 lies at an angle of less than 90° from position A. - The
strips 20 are fixed to thesides 15 of the box at their bottom ends, and provided at their top ends withangled appendages 22 that function as springs, flexing in such a way as to urge against thelid 4 and hold it in the open position. More exactly, eachappendage 22 is flexible, capable of bending within a plane parallel to theside 15 of the box against which thestrip 20 is breasted, and positioned with its uppermost extremity in contact with the top of thelid 4. The lid is hinged about an axis located at the top edge of the box, and provided with a fastening device that comprises asocket 23, formed in the front edge of the lid itself, and anelement 24 in the form of a hook, capable of movement in a direction parallel to the axis about which the lid is hinged. Thehook element 24 exhibits acatch 25 which engages in thesocket 23 and is held therein by aspring 26. The top of thecatch 25 is embodied with anangled surface 27 that interacts with the lip of the underside of thesocket 23; accordingly, with gentle pressure applied to the lid when brought down onto the box, thehook element 24 will be drawn back, allowing the lid to register against the top edge of thefront 7 and shut completely, thecatch 25 being urged into thesocket 23 by thespring 26.
