Definitions

• the invention relates to a carrier card according to the preamble of claim 1.
• DE 40 40 296 AI discloses a carrier card with a mini chip card encased therein, the mini chip card being connected to the carrier card via a hinge web along a narrow side thereof within a receiving window of the carrier card.
• the mini chip card is arranged irreversibly in the receiving window and can only be separated from the carrier card once, namely by bending the mini chip card along the hinge web.
• DE 196 44 614 C1 discloses a carrier card of the generic type with a receiving window for a mini chip card, the mini chip card being reversibly insertable into the receiving window.
• the edge cross-sections of the receiving window on the one hand and the mini chip card on the other hand have mutually coordinated shapes along narrow sides of the same.
• a disadvantage of this solution is that the handling when inserting and removing the mini chip card from the receiving window is impaired. Along the narrow sides there are straight edges with a tapering cross-section, so that when inserting or removing 2 break the mini chip card a great effort is required.
• the object of the invention is therefore to develop a carrier card in such a way that a mini chip card can be inserted and removed easily and securely in a receiving window of the carrier card.
• the invention has the features of claim 1.
• any desired bending lines can be specified in order to resiliently bend the corner regions of the mini chip card for inserting or removing the same in or out of the receiving window.
• the position of this bending line and the required bending force can be specified by the shape of the protruding side section.
• the protruding side section is arcuate. Alternatively, it can also be rectangular or dovetail-shaped. It is essential that the shape of the side section ensures that the mini chip card is held securely in the receiving window.
• the arcuate side section is circular, so that a definite 3
• nated bending line is formed in a corner region of the mini chip card.
• the bending force required to break out or insert the mini chip card can be specified.
• the protruding circular side sections are preferably held in a clip-like or latching manner in the corresponding cutouts.
• the side sections have oblique edges running in the transverse direction, the edges of opposite narrow sides of the side sections of the receiving window or the mini chip card running in different directions along an edge plane running transversely to the card plane from an upper side of the card to an underside thereof. This ensures that the mini chip card is securely locked in the receiving window.
• Figure 1 is a plan view of a mini chip card embedded in a receiving window of a carrier card
• FIG. 2 shows a section along the line II-II according to FIG. 1.
• a carrier card 1 has the form of a standard chip card with a standardized receiving window 2 for a mini chip card 3.
• the mini chip card 3 has on one side contact surfaces 5 which are electrically connected to a chip, not shown, embedded in the mini chip card 3.
• the mini chip card 3 In the position of the mini chip card 3 inserted in the receiving window 2, the mini chip card 3 is flush with the edge of the receiving window 2, so that a flat upper side 4 and a parallel lower side 6 of the card is formed.
• the edge sections of the receiving window 2 are formed as narrow sides 7 which have rectilinear side sections 8 which extend from a corner region of the receiving window 2 on a straight line in the direction of the center of the narrow side 7. Between the rectilinear side sections 8 assigned to a narrow side 7, an arcuate side section 9 is arranged, which protrudes in a circle from the narrow side 7. For this purpose, mutually facing ends 10 of the straight side sections 8 go directly and not continuously into the circular arc-shaped design of the side section 9. The discontinuous transition promotes a clamped mounting of the mini chip card 3 in the receiving window 2.
• narrow sides 7 run as edge sections of the mini chip card 3 narrow sides 7 ', which have straight side sections 8' and corresponding cutouts 15 in the region of the arcuate side sections 9. 5
• the shape of the side sections 8, 8 ', 9 and the recess 14 extend in the card plane.
• Each narrow side 7 is assigned an arcuate side section 9, the side sections 9 preferably being arranged offset to one another, i.e. at a different point on the respective narrow side 7. This creates an asymmetrical distribution of the bending forces over different areas of the narrow side 7.
• corner regions 11 of the mini chip card 3 of different sizes and dimensions can thereby be defined, so that transverse bending lines of different lengths are formed.
• a short bending line 12 is formed in a first corner area 11 and a long bending line 13 is formed in a second, opposite corner area 11, so that a preferred location for gripping and bending the corner area 11 is formed.
• a corner area 11 can be formed by adjacent arcuate side sections 9 with large radii, which has a large constriction and thus facilitates bending of the corner area 11.
• This corner area 11 with a large constriction can first be actuated when the mini chip card 3 is removed, while for inserting the mini chip card 3 the other corner areas 11 are first positioned and then the mini chip card 3 is brought into the intended end position by bending the corner area 11 with a large constriction .
• the bevelled edges 15 of opposing narrow sides 7 are designed to be open and oriented towards the top 4 of the carrier card 1, forming an acute angle with a transverse edge plane 17.
• the bevelled edges 15 of adjacent narrow sides 7 have an opposite orientation, that is to say the bevelled edges 15 do not extend from the top 4 to the bottom 6 not in the direction of the mini chip card 3, but in the opposite direction from the edge the mini chip card 3 away.
• a further increase in the clamping effect can be achieved by the continuous formation of the bevelled edges 15, 16 along the narrow sides 7, 7 'of the receiving window 2 or the mini chip card 3.
• the opposite rectilinear side sections 8, 8 'of the receiving window 2 on the one hand and the mini chip card 3 on the other hand form a trapezoidal cross section.
• the cutouts 14 can also be formed as part of the carrier card 1 and the protruding arcuate side sections 9 as part of the mini chip card 3.
• the cutouts 14 can also be formed as part of the carrier card 1 and the protruding arcuate side sections 9 as part of the mini chip card 3.
• a continuous central elevation running in the card plane along the side sections 8, 9 can be provided, which latches into a recess in the corresponding side sections 8 ', 14 of the mini chip card 3. 7
• NEN two mutually spaced elevations are formed which engage in corresponding recesses in the manner of a tongue and groove connection.
