Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a data variable card that allows data such as programs to be arbitrarily changed as needed.

Conventional data cards such as program cards are marked by marking with a pencil, marker pen, etc., or by punching holes in the card.

If the data is set by marking it with a pencil, if you want to change or correct the data, you can erase it with an eraser, but if you change or correct it several times, the card surface will become dirty. As a result, the reliability of reading by the card reader decreases. Also, erasing marks with an eraser,
There was a drawback that it was troublesome to reapply marks with a pencil.

If the data is recorded by marking with a marker pen or punching holes,
Recorded data cannot be changed or modified. Therefore, there was a drawback that a new card was required each time the data to be recorded was changed.

Furthermore, with the aim of eliminating these drawbacks, data is created in which a required number of metal pieces are housed inside the card so that the data on the card can be changed by moving these metal pieces as necessary. A variable type card has been proposed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 50930/1983.

However, this improved data variable card has an extremely complex structure, which not only makes the data unit expensive, but also limits the movement range of the required number of metal pieces stored inside. There were various practical problems, such as the need to use a magnet to move the metal pieces.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a data variable card that has a simple configuration, can be manufactured at low cost, and allows the recorded data to be changed extremely easily, and a method for manufacturing the card.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, this is a data variable card of the present invention, and a card board 2 made of synthetic resin made of vinyl chloride or the like is provided with a large number of holes 3 in a matrix. A movable piece 4 having the same shape is press-fitted therein. The movable piece 4 is also made of synthetic resin such as vinyl chloride,
Its thickness t is thinner than the thickness T of the cart board 2. Furthermore, the movable piece 4 is press-fitted so that it can move within the hole 3 in the thickness direction against the frictional force when a force exceeding a predetermined frictional force is applied.

Next, setting or changing data on the data variable card 1 will be explained with reference to FIG.

The data variable card 1 in the state shown in FIG. 2 is placed face down on a surface 5 of a table or the like. This causes the movable piece 4 to float above the surface 5 within the hole 3. In this state, when a predetermined movable piece 4 is pressed with a sharp tool 6, the tip of a ballpoint pen, etc., the movable piece 4 collapses downward. In this way, appropriate data is set or changed on the data variable card 1.

The data set or changed in the data variable card 1 in this way is read through a data reader as shown in the fourth figure. That is, a recess is formed on the front side of the variable data card 1 due to the relative positional relationship of the movable piece 4 in the hole 3, and the steel ball 8, which is movable in the card running path 7, detects this recess, and the slider The program data is read by opening and closing the switch 9 via the switch 8a.

Next, a method for manufacturing the variable data card 1 will be explained with reference to FIG.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a movable press mold, which is movable up and down, and is provided with a movable blade 11 that forms the hole 3 and the movable piece 4. Reference numeral 12 denotes a fixed type of press, in which a fixed blade 13 into which the movable blade 11 can be inserted is formed.
A first original plate 2A, which will become a card board 2, is placed on the upper surface of the fixed mold 12, and a second original plate 4A, which is thinner than this, is laminated on the upper surface. Then, the press is operated to lower the movable die 10, and the movable blade 11 punches out the hole 3 and the movable piece 4. At this time, a piece corresponding to the hole 3 of the card board 2 (first original plate 2A) is removed, and a piece punched from the second original plate 4A and having the same shape as the hole 3 is inserted into the hole 3 as the movable piece 4. At the position where the movable mold 10 is inserted, the lowering of the movable mold 10 is stopped, and the movable mold 10 is raised upward. In this way, the thin movable piece 4 is press-fitted into the hole 3 of the thick card board 2.

Note that it is also possible to cut out the outer shape of the card board 2 at the same time.

As described above, the variable data card according to the present invention has a simple configuration, so it can be provided at low cost, and it is extremely easy to set or change data such as programs.

Further, according to the method for manufacturing a data variable card according to the present invention, a data variable card can be manufactured extremely easily in a single pressing process.

Claims (1)

[Scope of Claims] 1. A movable piece thinner than the thickness of the card board and having the same shape as the holes applies a predetermined frictional force to all of the many holes transparently provided in the card board in the form of a matrix. 1. A variable data type card, characterized in that the data variable card is fitted in such a way that it can move within the hole in the thickness direction of the card board when an exceeding force is applied. 2. A first original plate that will become a card board and a second original plate that is thinner than the first original plate are stacked together and pressed from above. At this time, holes formed in a matrix in the card board are pressed. A method for producing a variable data card, characterized in that a piece punched from the second original plate and having the same shape as the hole is inserted as a movable piece in a press-fit state.
