Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of daily supplies, and in particular, to a card fixation assembly for a card holder and a card holder.

BACKGROUND

In daily life, it is often necessary to use various cards, such as bank cards, credit cards and ID cards. Cards are currently mainly placed in ordinary flexible plastic or leather card holders for storage. When a certain card needs to be used, a card owner needs to search for the card from cards in the card case or card holder. In addition, the plastic or leather card case cannot resist an external extrusion force due to the softness thereof, which may easily cause the cards to be bent, deformed or even damaged in the card holder.

Various card holders are disclosed in the related art. Friction elements are generally used to fix the cards from sides of the cards, such that the cards are fixed in the card holder. For example, PCT International Patent Application No. PCT/NL2010/050314 discloses a card storer. This patent discloses the feature of fixing both sides of the cards with fiber mats and elastic elements. However, after the elastic elements and the fiber mats are used for a long time, the elastic force of the elastic elements attenuates, and the elasticity of the fiber mats cannot fully recover to its original state. Therefore, the elastic elements have reduced frictional force on fixation of the cards, and the cards may easily slide out of the card holder under the impact of an external force.

For another example, Chinese Patent CN211054775U discloses a multifunctional card holder. This patent discloses the feature of fixing both sides of the cards with soft damping pads and rubber anti-slip strips thereon. However, after the damping pads are used for a long time, the frictional damage of the anti-slip strips on the damping pads is also irreversible, which still causes the cards to fail to be fixed in the card holder and easily slip off.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure are clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Apparently, the described embodiments are merely a part rather than all of the embodiments of the present disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

Embodiment 1

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the first embodiment of the present disclosure provides a card fixation assembly for a card holder. The card fixation assembly 100 includes a first elastic arm 10, a second elastic arm 20, a first clamping end 30, a second clamping end 40, and a main body 50. The first elastic arm start end 11 and the second elastic arm start end 21 are connected to the main body 40; the first elastic arm tail end 12 is connected to the first clamping end 30; and the second elastic arm tail end 22 is connected to the second clamping end 40. The first clamping end 30 and the second clamping end 40 are configured to limit displacement of a card, such that the card is fixed between the first elastic arm 10 and the second elastic arm 20. A distance L₁ between the first elastic arm start end 11 and the second elastic arm start end 21 is greater than a distance L₂ between the first elastic arm tail end 12 and the second elastic arm tail end 22. When the card is fixed between the first elastic arm 10 and the second elastic arm 20, the first elastic arm 10 and the second elastic arm 20 provide an elastic force for the card to strengthen the fixation of the card. The first elastic arm 10 is further provided with a groove 13, and the groove 13 is configured to place an anti-slip pad. When a width of the card is smaller than L₁, the anti-slip pad provides a certain frictional force to help the first clamping end 30 and the second clamping end 40 to fix the card.

Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the first clamping end 30 includes a first protrusion 31 and a first clamping body 32; and the second clamping end 40 includes a second protrusion 41 and a second clamping body 42. The first protrusion 31 and the second protrusion 41 are configured to limit the displacement of the card. The first clamping body 32 and the first elastic arm 10 are integrally formed, and the second clamping body 42 and the second elastic arm 20 are integrally formed. The first clamping body 32 and the second clamping body 42 are configured to conveniently insert the card fixation assembly 100 into the card holder.

The first protrusion 31 includes a first concave surface 311 and a first convex surface 312. The first concave surface 311 is matched with an arc angle of the card. The first convex surface 312 is a tire-like surface. The first convex surface 312 is adjacent to the first concave surface 311, and is located at a tail end of the first protrusion 31. The second protrusion 41 includes a second concave surface 411 and a second convex surface 412. The second concave surface 411 is matched with an arc angle of the card. The second convex surface 412 is a tire-like surface. The second convex surface 412 is adjacent to the second concave surface 411, and is located at a tail end of the second protrusion 41.

The card is stored into the card fixation assembly 100, and the arc angles of the card abut against the first convex surface 312 and the second convex surface 412. The first convex surface 312 and the second convex surface 412 are tire-like surfaces, and have a small frictional force when being in contact with the card. The card is stored into the card fixation assembly by easily opening the first clamping end 30 and the second clamping end 40. The first concave surface 311 and the second concave surface 411 are matched with the arc angles of the card, and the first elastic arm 10 and the second elastic arm 20 provide an elastic force for the card to fix the card in the card fixation assembly 100 under the action of gravity.

The thickness H₂ of a tail end of the first clamping body 32 is smaller than the thickness H₁ of a junction between the first clamping body 32 and the first elastic arm 10. The thickness H₃ of a tail end of the second clamping body 42 is smaller than the thickness H₄ of a junction between the second clamping body 42 and the second elastic arm 20. Therefore, the first clamping body 32 and the second clamping body 42 can be inserted into the card holder more easily, such that the card fixation assembly is inserted into the card holder more conveniently.

The main body 50 includes at least one fixed shaft 51 and at least one notch 52. The fixed shaft 51 and the notch 52 are configured to mount the card pusher. The fixed shaft 51 is configured to provide a fixing point for the card pusher, such that the card pusher forms a lever structure. The notch 52 is configured to provide an extension part for the card pusher, such that a user can push out the card from the card fixation assembly by moving the extension part.

The card holder 1 includes a card fixation assembly 100, a housing 200, and a card pusher 300. The card fixation assembly 100 is the card fixation assembly in Embodiment 1. A card 2 is located in the card fixation assembly 100, the card fixation assembly 100 is mounted in the housing 200, and the card pusher 300 is mounted on a main body 50 of the card fixation assembly. The card fixation assembly 100 is configured to limit displacement of the card 2, the housing 200 is configured to store the card 2, and the card pusher 300 is configured to push out the card.

When the card holder 1 stores the card 2, the card 2 abuts against the first protrusion 31 and the second protrusion 41. The first convex surface 312 and the second convex surface 412 are tire-like surfaces, and have a small frictional force when being in contact with the card 2, such that the first protrusion 31 and the second protrusion 41 are easily open, and the card 2 is stored into the card holder 1.

When the card 2 is taken out from the card holder 1, the card pusher 300 pushes the card 2. The arc angles of the card 2 are matched with the first concave surface 311 and the second concave surface 411, such that the frictional force of the card 2, the first concave surface 311 and the second concave surface 411 is smaller. When the card 2 is pushed out easily, the user takes out the card 2 from the card holder 1.
