STEP SHIFT CREDIT CARD EJECTOR Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC A45C11/18 

FIELD: banking.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a card holder provided with a device for ejecting or dispensing cards such as credit cards or bank cards or other flat or plate-like objects from the holder. The card holder has a body (1) that circumferentially encompasses a stack of at least three cards (2) and has at least one card hole (3) for placing and removing cards. There is an ejection device for ejecting cards in the body opposite the card hole (3). The ejection device allows the cards to be partially ejected from the body through the card hole (3) and has an ejection lever made with the possibility of turning in the body between the retracted and extended positions and ejecting the cards into the time of movement by entering into interaction with the cards and simultaneous force action on them for their partial exit from the case. The holder has an external drive device, for example a finger button, for creating a pushing force of the cards using a pushing device for pushing the cards out, connected by connecting means with the pushing lever so that the drive force can be transmitted. Each next section, or a group of sections, or all sections are shifted back by at least 0.05 or 0.075 millimeters with respect to the adjacent section.

EFFECT: it’s easier for a finger to press on the ejector button. It takes significantly less effort due to the fact that the ejector lever first interacts with a significantly smaller part of the length, only with the part that is closest to the hinge and bearing a small number of steps, or only a part stacks of cards, and thus the initial ejection arm is short so that the force required to start moving the cards outward is kept low.
