Description

 SECURITY CARD

DESCRIPTION

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The invention object of the present application refers to the receiver and classifier element of credit or discount cards, especially those configured flat and with staggered pockets for semi-superposition of the cards.

Built in the usual materials, such as leather or plastic, this cardholder has one extension or appendix in any of its material and configuration, provided that it has an orifice to hold a conventional means inside, such as a button, a bracket or other similar means.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Credit or discount cards are handled with such ease and their use is so widespread that it is extraordinarily surprising that a user of the same is in a transaction, paid by these means, in which the identification is requested , simply to the seller with the comparison of the signature deposited on the card with that of its supposed owner.

For this reason, the subtraction of wallets and wallets has spread so rapidly that, the cardholder has been introduced into the market, that is, an independent document holder that is stored in a pocket other than the wallet or wallet, to diversify and minimize the risks of rapid street assault or subtraction in public transport.

Despite the reduced thickness of these cards and their characteristics as an independent element, thieves and pickpockets are currently seeking them with greater detention than those dedicated to wallets and purses, given that their extension has proportionally reduced the amount of money to transport by their users.

For this reason of insistent search and because of the extraordinary ease of subtraction, given how easy it is to take them out of the pocket given their relatively minimal thickness, it is therefore necessary to find solutions that allow the incorporation of security means to these card holders , that do not affect too much its portability and its main use.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The proposed invention is configured as a security cardholder, which characterizes, next to the conventional cardholder, an extension or appendix that allows it to be attached to a conventional fixing means, incorporated inside or outside the pocket, as it is arranged in the garment or randomly, depending on the user's requirements.

This appendix can be configured in any material, such as leather, plastic or metallic, as well as in any internal configuration, torn, grooved, eyelet, oval, etc., provided that it allows the passage of the conventional antagonistic medium, of attachment of the appendix to the inside or outside of the garment pocket To wear .

Likewise, this appendix may be attached by any conventional means to the cardholder, be it seam, heat-welded or by means of an extension element, of variable length, such as, for example, a chain, a wire or cable of great hardness and, In short, a calming medium that allows the cardholder to be removed, without detaching it from its attachment to the garment and, nevertheless, makes it easier for the user to remove each individual card without hindrance and at the time of its use.

Taking advantage of this security fastening arrangement, the cardholder may occasionally be provided with a top cover that prevents the removal of the individual card from the cardholder itself, given the greater difficulty that the subtractor would find for its extraction.

Likewise, the provisions of the appendix and of the means of attachment to the garment can be reversed, then passing the groove or the like of the appendix to become the antagonistic button or protrusion in the groove or the like, of the complementary conventional appendix arranged in the garment .

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that is being carried out and in order to facilitate the best and easiest understanding of the features of the invention, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part thereof, with character illustrative and never limiting has proceeded to represent the following:
