DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0029] The reference number 100 indicates a holding device according to the invention. The holding device 100 comprises a first plate 101, which advantageously has the same dimensions as a credit card, and a second plate 102 lying on top of the first plate 101. The first plate 101 and the second plate 102 are connected to each other on at least two sides with polymer 103, 104, and both the first and second plates 101, 102 advantageously have openings F in the connection area for better accommodation of the connecting polymer. Advantageously, these openings are circular and/or partially circular and have a side that is open to the outside.

[0030] The second plate has a area 102a that tapers outward. Advantageously, the two sides of the second plate 102 not connected to the first plate 101 taper outward. In this way, the introduction of paper money, cards or the like between the two plates 101, 102 is facilitated.

[0031] An opening 105 is advantageously provided in the second plate 102. This opening 105 has the dimensions of a thumb and is advantageously arranged between the two sides connected to the first plate 101. This opening 105 advantageously allows the paper money, cards or the like, which are contained in the holding device according to the invention, to be adjusted and/or moved between the two plates 101 and 102.

[0032] A plastic layer 106 is advantageously attached to the edge of the opening 105. This plastic layer 106 increases the friction of the object introduced between the two plates 101, 102 and the plates. A series of through bores and/or grooves are preferably arranged at the edge of the opening 105 as a receptacle for the plastic 106, preferably a polymer, and thus the first plate 101 is connected to the second plate 102 in a better way.

[0033] The plastic 106 advantageously forms an elevation between 0.2 mm and 2 mm on the plate, on which this is advantageously introduced between 0.5 mm and 1 mm. This is particularly advantageous since, during the manufacture of the device 100 according to the invention, a spacer with a thickness between 0.2 mm and 0.5 mm is inserted between the two plates 101 and 102 and, if the attached plastic exceeds 0.5, it produces a pressure also on objects with a minimum thickness such as cards, in particular paper money.

[0034] The device 100 according to the invention is advantageously inserted into a card holder or the like, which advantageously has a U-shape that can be closed on one surface by a cover, which can preferably consist of flexible plastic, fabric and/or leather. The device 100 according to the invention is inserted between two opposite legs of the U, wherein the cover being releasable connected to the frame at least on one side; this releasable connection allows the cover to be opened and closed, i.e. is re-closable. The device 100 according to the invention advantageously has recesses which can be coupled to elevations which are provided in the U-shaped holding device. During the insertion of the device 100 according to the invention between the legs of the U, the legs of the U widen and allow the device 100 to be inserted. The free ends of the U-shaped device advantageously have elevations. These elevations allow better holding for the device 100 according to the invention and/or cards or the like inserted into the U-shaped device.

[0035] In FIG. 6, which is enlargement E of FIG. 5, the connection between the first plate 101 and the second plate 102 by plastic 103, preferably a polymer, is explained. This connection 103 advantageously encompasses the two plates from the outside and thus provides the entire space between the plates 101 and 102 for the introduction of cards, paper money and/or cards and the like. The connecting material on sides 103, 104 advantageously has an incision, a seat or the like that can accommodate cards, paper money and/or cards and the like.

[0036] Finally, it is clear that what has been described up to now, additions, changes or variants that are self-evident to the person skilled in the art can be made without departing from the scope of protection provided by the appended claims.
