Abstract: An Electromagnetic Shield for Smartcards provides shielding of contactless smartcards or RFID tags from electromagnetic radiation which imparts energy to power the contactless smartcards or RFID tags and thus preventing surreptitious, wireless exchanges of digital data with a remote transceiver. The electromagnetic shield is made of a soft magnetic alloy with a very high initial and maximum magnetic permeability, which has been fully hydrogen annealed to develop optimum magnetic shielding properties. In the preferred embodiment, this magnetic shielding material is sandwiched between two plastic reinforcing shells which allow very thin shielding materials to be used with little regard for their resistance to permanent deformation. The relatively high intrinsic electrical conductivity of the magnetic shielding material sufficiently simulates a Faraday cage to further shield a contactless smartcard/RFID tag from electric fields as well.

Abstract: The plastic holder for two credit cards in accordance with the invention has eliminated the drawbacks of known card holders with such a design solution that makes possible the production of a jacket (1) in which there is space for two credit cards (A, B) and that is easy to produce by spraying, because of an intermediate rib (2) which runs along the middle of the inner side of the lateral walls and the end wall, and which thus represents a guide for individual card (A, B) in the holder and does not damage its surface and/or magnetic tape (C), and in addition, provides support during the spraying procedure, so that no other holding elements need to be added. Inside the holder, additional protrusions (5) or (6, 6') are carried out, which slightly bend individual card. At the inner sides of the upper plane (1') and the lower plane (1") of the jacket (1) additional protrusions (3, 3') are carried out, so that the planes (1, 1") of the plastic jacket (1) have a slightly concave shape.

Abstract: The combination money clip and card holder comprises a one-piece element having a rectangular base with two inwardly-oriented L-shaped brackets formed along longitudinal edges thereof. The rectangular base also contains a stop, formed on one of the transverse edges thereof. Together with the rectangular base, the L-shaped brackets comprise a channel for receiving flexible cards, such as credit cards, whereas the stop prevents the cards from being inserted too far into the channel. The edges of the base supporting the L-shaped brackets are tapered in the direction of the stop to provide means for removably capturing the cards inserted into the channel. The holder also includes a resilient money clip formed on the opposite side of the base. The money clip is formed so that it is biased toward the base, thus allowing bank notes inserted between the clip and the base to be removably retained therein.

The clip extends from the one end of the base toward the opposite end thereof, terminating with a leading edge that slopes upwardly and away from the upper surface to facilitate grasping by the user. Depending from an inner surface of the retaining clip is an extension, and formed on the upper surface of the base is a corresponding depression which is positioned in opposed registry with the extension and configured to receive the extension.

Abstract: A protective card case or sheath for a single card having a magnetically encoded strip is in the form of a generally rectangular, flat, sleeve-type holder. The sheath has a protective strip along the top and bottom area of a front and rear panel for protection of the data encoded strip of a credit card or the like regardless of the orientation of the card in the holder. The protective strips thus shield the magnetically recorded data from magnetic and electric fields which might otherwise erase or damage such magnetically stored data. The card holder also includes a lengthwise centrally disposed transparent area in both the front and rear panel to enable observation of the identifying number imprinted on the card. The card holder also includes a screened area or stripe along the top and bottom areas of the front and rear panels on which informational material can be printed.

Abstract: A housing designed to contain a logic circuit (15) comprising two shells (11a, 11b) each including a welding area (17a, 17b) having an appropriate geometry permitting ultrasonic welding, such that when both shells are assembled before a welding phase, they are shifted along a vertical axis (20). The supporting plate (13) comprises a mounting ear (23) while the shells comprise a receptacle (33a, 33b). During the welding phase, there is no concomitant contact between any of the upper face (26) and lower face (27) of the ear (23) and the corresponding bearing faces (34a, 34b) of the receptacles, owing to a shift (21). The shift is reduced and the concomitant contact takes place between the bearing faces (34a, 34b) of the receptacles and each of the upper and lower faces (26, 27) of the ear (23) only when the welding phase is completed.
