Definitions

• Present invention refers to a plastic card with mechanical protection of information on a magnetic carrier, namely credit card, employee card, etc.
• Plastic cards with magnetic stripe carrying secret information are used as credit cards or employee cards allowing entrance to a building. For its opening, it is needed to give a specific information (PIN) consisting of a series of figures known only to the owner of the card. It is done i.e. on cash dispensers' keyboards when using a credit card. This process being operated during the cash retrieval in open space enables PIN being visually, or using a camera, found out by an unauthorized person and when the credit card is stolen, it can be misused.
• PIN specific information
• the goal of present invention is mechanical protection of a plastic card with magnetic information carrier from misusing.
• a plastic card with protection of information on a magnetic carrier according to present invention.
• the principle is in supplying the card with mechanically movable elements in quantity equal to the number of required secret information (PIN) , where on the lower surface an area shaped stripe of magnetic carrier is created, which, together with a magnetic carrier placed on the lower surface of an element, constitutes the area for secret information (PIN) .
• Movable elements are formed by circular discs axially pivoted, in circular recess made at least 0,1 mm from edge of the card and interfering at least to two thirds of the magnetic carrier stripe latitude.
• Fig. 1 is schematic view on the lower surface of the card with magnetic carrier stripe
• Fig. 2 is schematic view on the upper surface of the card with small gaps in circular recesses
• Fig. 3 is cross-section view of movable element (disc)
• Fig. 4 is view on both surfaces of the movable element (disc) .
• Rectangular card 1 is on the lower surface along the longer side supplied with area shaped stripe 1.1 of magnetic carrier and with four movable elements 2 formed by flat circular discs, pivoted in circular recesses 1.2. Diameter of the recess 1.2 equals to diameter of the disc and depth of the recess equals to thickness of the disc, so the surface of upper surface 2.2 of discs supplied by magnetic carrier and surface of stripe 1.1 of magnetic carrier are uniplanar. The centres of circular recesses 1.2 are distant from the edge of the card 1 1 mm more than the radius of the recess 1.2 is. Discs 2 interfere to stripe 1.1 with more than a half of their lower surface 2.1.
• Solution according to present invention is exploitable for chip cards supplied with magnetic information carrier enabling inception of a programme as well.
