【産業上の利用分野】[Industrial applications]

本考案は、プリペイドカードに関し、特にカードの表裏、前後の識別を容易に してリーダライタへの誤挿入を防止する方向検出貫通孔付きプリペイドカードに 関するものである。 The present invention relates to a prepaid card, and more particularly to a prepaid card with a direction detecting through hole that facilitates identification of the front and back of the card and front and back to prevent erroneous insertion into a reader / writer.

【0002】[0002]

【従来の技術】[Prior art]

最近、プリペイド方式のカードが普及しつつある。このようなカード形式の媒 体は、記入や記録内容の更新が必要であり、印字カードや磁気カード、あるいは 光カードを問わず、リーダライタに挿入してアップデーションがなされるのが一 般的である。 ところで、カード形式の媒体は構造や形状的に、表裏が類似しており、また同 様にカードの前側後側も類似している。したがって、リーダライタへの誤挿入を 防止するために、例えば表側に、前方向を示す矢印等を印刷する方法が広く採用 されている。 Recently, prepaid cards have become popular. Such a card-type medium requires filling and updating of recorded contents, and is generally inserted into a reader / writer to perform an update regardless of whether it is a print card, a magnetic card, or an optical card. Is. By the way, card-type media are similar in terms of structure and shape, and the front and rear sides of the card are also similar. Therefore, in order to prevent erroneous insertion into the reader / writer, for example, a method of printing an arrow indicating the front direction on the front side is widely adopted.

【考案が解決しようとする課題】[Problems to be solved by the device]

しかしながら、前記のような従来構成のカードでは、印刷されている挿入方向 指示印が見ずらく、使用勝手の甚だ悪いものが大部分である。 そのため、極く小さな円弧状の切欠をカード辺上に設けて印としている等がな されているが、機能的にいまだ不十分であった。 さらに、装置側に迅速に挿入状態を判定させる機能を併せ有していなければな らない。ところが従来のプリペイドカードには、このような要求を満たす構成が 存在しなかった。 However, in most of the conventional cards having the above-described structure, the printed insertion direction indicating mark is difficult to see, and most of the cards are extremely unusable. Therefore, it has been said that a very small arcuate notch is provided on the side of the card as a mark, but it was still insufficient in terms of functionality. In addition, the device must also have the function of promptly determining the insertion status. However, conventional prepaid cards do not have a configuration that meets these requirements.

【0004】 本考案は、このような従来技術の有する問題点を解決するため為されたもので 、その目的は利用者側にはカード方向の確認が容易であり、かつ装置側に対して は迅速な挿入状態の判定を可能とする方向検出貫通孔付きプリペイドカードを提 供することにある。The present invention has been made to solve the problems of the prior art as described above. The purpose of the present invention is to make it easy for the user to check the card direction and for the device side. It is to provide a prepaid card with a direction detection through hole that enables quick determination of the insertion state.

【課題を解決するための手段】[Means for Solving the Problems]

本考案に係る方向検出貫通孔付きプリペイドカードは、プリペイドカードの任 意の面の任意の隅を第1隅として、第1隅に、一方のカード長尺辺から第1距離 だけ隔てた位置に第1貫通孔を設け、前記第1隅と対角線上にある隅を第2隅と して、第2隅に、他方のカード長尺辺から第2距離だけ隔てた位置に第2貫通孔 を設け、かつ第1距離と第2距離とが異なる構成としたことを特徴とする。 The prepaid card with the direction detecting through-hole according to the present invention has an arbitrary corner of an arbitrary surface of the prepaid card as a first corner, and is located at a position separated from the long side of one card by a first distance. A first through hole is provided, a corner diagonally opposite to the first corner is defined as a second corner, and a second through hole is formed in the second corner at a position separated by a second distance from the other long side of the card. It is characterized in that it is provided and the first distance and the second distance are different.

【作用】[Action]

前記のように構成された本考案の方向検出貫通孔付きプリペイドカードは、表 裏、前後方向の異なる4通りの挿入状態に対応して、例えば短尺辺側に現われる 貫通孔の位置がすべて異なる。よって例えば短尺辺側に現われる貫通孔の位置を 検出することで、正しいおもて/うら面と前/後方向を装置側が確認できる。ま た利用者も自ら確認することができる。 In the prepaid card with the direction detecting through-hole of the present invention configured as described above, the positions of the through-holes appearing on the short side, for example, are all different corresponding to four different insertion states in the front and back directions and the front-back direction. Therefore, for example, by detecting the position of the through hole appearing on the short side, the device side can confirm the correct front / back surface and front / back direction. Moreover, the user can also confirm it himself.

【実施例】【Example】

図1は、本考案の方向検出貫通孔付きプリペイドカードの一実施例の正面図で ある。 図2は、図1の方向検出貫通孔付きプリペイドカードの背面図である。 以下、本考案の実施例を図1と図2に基づき説明する。本考案のプリペイドカ ード1のひとつの面をおもて面1Aとし、おもて面1Aの前辺1Cと上の長尺辺 1Eとの隅を第1隅として該第1隅に第1貫通孔H1を設け、該第1隅と対角線 上にある、後辺1Dと下の長尺辺1Fとの隅を第2隅として該第2隅に第2貫通 孔H2を設ける。 FIG. 1 is a front view of an embodiment of a prepaid card with a direction detecting through hole according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a rear view of the prepaid card with the direction detection through hole of FIG. An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. One surface of the prepaid card 1 of the present invention is referred to as a front surface 1A, and a corner between the front side 1C and the upper long side 1E of the front surface 1A is defined as a first corner and the first corner is a first corner. The first through hole H1 is provided, and the second through hole H2 is provided at the second corner with the corner between the rear side 1D and the lower long side 1F, which is on the diagonal line of the first corner, as the second corner.

【0008】 第1貫通孔H1から上の長尺辺1Eの距離を第1距離d1とする。 一方、第2貫通孔H2から下の長尺辺1Fの距離を第2距離d2とする。ここ で、第1距離d1は第2距離d2よりも短く設定する。A distance from the first through hole H1 to the long side 1E above is defined as a first distance d1. On the other hand, the distance from the second through hole H2 to the long side 1F below is defined as a second distance d2. Here, the first distance d1 is set shorter than the second distance d2.

【0009】 以上のように構成することによって、カードの表裏/前後が容易に区別できる 。例えば、前辺1Cを先端としてリーダライタに挿入するとき、おもて面1A が表面(図中、紙面の手前側)に出ていれば、カード先端1Cには、図中、上方 に位置している長尺辺1Eから第1距離d1だけ下ったところに第1貫通孔H1 が出現する。ここでカードが裏返しであれば、下方に移った長尺辺1Eから第1 距離d1だけ上がったところに第1貫通孔H1が出現する。With the above configuration, the front / back / front and back of the card can be easily distinguished. For example, when the front side 1C is inserted into a reader / writer with the front side 1C as the tip, if the front side 1A is exposed on the front side (the front side of the paper surface in the figure), the card tip 1C is positioned above the figure. The first through-hole H1 appears at a position lower than the elongated side 1E by the first distance d1. Here, if the card is turned upside down, the first through hole H1 appears at a position that is elevated by the first distance d1 from the long side 1E moved downward.

【0010】 つぎに、後辺1Dを先端としてリーダライタに挿入するとき、おもて面1A が表面(図中、紙面の手前側)に出ていれば、カード先端1Dには、図中、上方 に位置している長尺辺1Fから第2距離d2だけ下ったところに第2貫通孔H2 が出現する。ここでカードが裏返しであれば、下方に移った長尺辺1Fから第2 距離d2だけ上がったところに第2貫通孔H2が出現する。 このように、カードの表裏/前後が異なる4通りの場合の数で、それぞれに第 1〜第2貫通孔が、すべてが出現位置を異にして現われる。 この結果、カードの表裏/前後の異なる挿入状態を、しかもきわめて容易に峻 別できる。Next, when the front side 1A is exposed on the front side (front side of the paper surface in the figure) when the rear side 1D is inserted into the reader / writer with the rear side 1D as the tip, The second through hole H2 appears at a position lower than the long side 1F located above by the second distance d2. Here, if the card is turned upside down, the second through hole H2 appears where the card is moved up by the second distance d2 from the long side 1F moved downward. In this way, in the number of four cases in which the front and back / front and back of the card are different, the first through second through holes are respectively exposed in different appearance positions. As a result, different insertion states of the front / back / front and back of the card can be distinguished very easily.

【考案の効果】[Effect of device]

以上の説明のように、本考案の方向検出貫通孔付きプリペイドカードは、表裏 、前後方向の異なる4通りの挿入状態に対応して、例えば短尺辺側に現われる貫 通孔の位置がすべて異なる。よって例えば短尺辺側に現われる貫通孔の位置を検 出することで、正しいおもて/うら面と前後方向を装置側が容易に確認可能にな る。よって利用者の誤挿入をカード挿入後、極めて短時間に実行できるという効 果がある。 As described above, in the prepaid card with the direction detecting through hole of the present invention, the positions of the through holes appearing on the short side, for example, are all different corresponding to the four insertion states in which the front and back sides are different in the front-back direction. Therefore, for example, by detecting the position of the through hole appearing on the short side, the correct front / back surface and the front-back direction can be easily confirmed on the device side. Therefore, there is an effect that the user's erroneous insertion can be executed in an extremely short time after inserting the card.
