Title: Alarm system for a card holder

Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     1. Field of the Invention 
     The invention pertains to an alarm system for a card or document holder pocket, more specifically to a self-contained portable alarm system having a unitary ribbon which is folded over the edge of a pocket opening and folded within the pocket and which gives alarm when the card or document is removed. 
     2. Description of the Prior Art 
     The prior art is replete with patented designs for card holder alarm systems that signal a warning when a card such as a credit card is removed from a wallet pocket. 
     U.S. Pat. No. 3,959,789 patented by F. M. McGahee on May 25, 1976 describes a check or credit card monitor consisting of a case having an alarm circuit, time delay circuit, power supply, and a cover having a plurality of separators adapted to hold documents between them. Each separator has an electrical contact. The separators are biased together by a spring clip so that the electrical contacts touch one another when the card is removed from between the electrical contacts. 
     U.S. Pat. No. 4,480,250 patented by C. D. McNeely Oct. 30, 1984 describes a wallet having an alarm circuit connected to a plurality of electrically and mechanically parallel metal clips and a printed circuit conductor line. Each clip independently closes mechanically and electrically on a printed circuit conductor line unless the closing is prevented by an intervening credit card in the clip. A single closing of the parallel circuits is sufficient to activate the alarm circuit. 
     U.S. Pat. No. 4,652,865 patented by A. Maharshak on Mar. 24, 1987 describes a plurality of pockets in which each pocket has conductive disks on the pocket walls at the center of each inner side of the pocket so that they contact when the card is removed from the pocket. One of the disks is magnetic so that the disks are drawn together. 
     In another embodiment electrical conductive areas on the pocket walls on the opposite inside surfaces of the pockets are biased toward one another by leaf springs inserted into the spaces between outer and inner layers of the walls of the pockets. 
     In another embodiment a pair of parallel conductive strips spaced from one another and parallel to the edge of the pocket opening traverse one inner face of the pocket. A longitudinal plate is positioned on the opposite inner face of the pocket so that it crosses both strips. 
     In another embodiment a single conductive strip extends approximately corner to corner of one inner face of the pocket the ends being spaced from the top and bottom of the pocket, and a single conductor strip extends approximately corner to corner of the opposite inner face of the pocket the ends being spaced from the top and bottom of the pocket, so that the conductors intersect at about the center of the pocket. The conductors pass through the seams of adjacent pockets so that the contact arrangement at the center of the pocket is in each pocket. 
     U.S. Pat. No. 4,890,094 patented Dec. 26, 1989 by D. Kopel describes a wallet structure in which the pockets are made from a long flexible dielectric sheet that is folded normal to the length of the sheet in a fan fold to form card accommodating compartments by various means including adhesive and/or stitching Preferably a decorative material such as leather is secured around the dielectric sheet and over its exposed edges. 
     A first conductive bus extends the length of a front surface of the sheet adjacent to one edge of the sheet. A second conductive bus extends the length of the front surface of the sheet adjacent to the other edge of the sheet, parallel to the first conductive bus. Each of the first and second busses continues over each fold normal to the fold and coincides with itself in each pocket formed by the folds. 
     Alternating conductive strips on the front surface extend from each conductive strip normal to the strip, separated by and spaced from fold lines of the accordion fold so that in each pocket a strip from the first conductive bus on one inner wall of a pocket contacts a strip from the second conductive bus on the opposite inner wall of the pocket at the center of the pocket. The contact activates an alarm. Contact is prevented by an intervening credit card in the pocket. 
     In order to assure contact between the strips in each pocket in the absence of a credit card between them, a plurality of resilient cushioning pads are secured to the rear surface of the dielectric sheet, one pad of the plurality of pads behind one of the conductive strips in each pocket.

     DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
     Before explaining the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the detail of construction and arrangement of parts illustrated in the drawings since the invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced or carried out in various ways. It is also to be understood that the phraseology or terminology employed is for the purpose of description only and not of limitation. 
     In FIG. 1 electrical contact sets 22, 26, 28, and 30 of alarm system 20 are held open by intervening credit cards 32, 34, 36, and 38. Contact set 24 is closed in the absence of a credit card between contacts 44, 46 of the set. 
     Contacts 40, 44, 48, 52, and 56 are connected in parallel to bus 60. Contacts 42, 46, 50, 54, and 58 are connected in parallel to bus 70. 
     Bus 60 and bus 70 are connected to integrated circuit or IC 78. 
     One IC which may be used in the invention is National Semiconductor COP-912 microcontroller of which seven active pins are used, five inputs and two outputs. 
     The inputs are battery positive 76, battery negative 77, resistance/capacitance oscillator tune 80, reset 82, and awaken circuit pins 72 and 74 which are connected respectively to bus 60 and 70. 
     The output pins are push-pull audio driver 84, 86, which are connected to speaker 90. 
     The IC is powered by a 3 volt lithium cell. When all the contact sets are open the IC circuit is in a sleep mode wherein it consumes less than one microampere of current. When an intervening card is removed from one of the contact sets, the IC circuit is triggered by the closed circuit received at pins 72/74 into an awake mode wherein the average current draw is less than one milliampere, excluding the momentary beep audio drive to the speaker. 
     The battery is connected directly to pins 77 and 76 so that the IC is on power for the operational life of the battery. There is no need for an on/off switch in the battery line. 
     Reset 82 is pulled high by external resistor 96 connected to battery positive 92. When power is first applied to the IC it must be reset in order to begin operation in the sleep mode. 
     This is done by pulsing reset pin 82 low for a minimum of 10 clock periods, each clock period being preferably about 10 microseconds. Reset is accomplished by momentarily connecting the reset pin to battery negative 94 by closing switch 98. A reset button may be made from a yieldable portion of a plastic case for the IC and battery. 
     Circuit timing is derived from a 1 megahertz R/C oscillator internal to the IC. The frequency of oscillation is determined by external resistor 100 and capacitor 102 having one of their ends connected to pin 80. The other end of resistor 100 is connected to battery positive. The other end of capacitor 102 is connected to battery negative. The internal oscillator stops when the IC circuit is asleep. 
     The IC circuit enters and exits the sleep mode based on the condition of wake-up pin 72 which is connected to battery 88 negative through external resistor 108. Pin 74 is connected to battery positive. An open circuit between pins 72 and 74 such as when all contact sets 22, 24, 26, 28, and 30 are open by intervening credit cards, causes the IC circuit to enter and remain in the sleep mode. A short-circuit between pins 72 and 74 such as when one of the contact sets closes when a card is removed from the set will automatically cause the IC circuit to wake up and proceed with operational steps. 
     Section 100 of system 20 is formed from a flexible ribbon of the invention. 
     Speaker 90 is preferably of the miniature piezoelectric type. The output drive to the speaker is square wave which is rich in harmonic tones. Output pins 84,86 are set low when not generating a tone so as not to produce a permanent set in the piezo element of the speaker. 
     Preferably the cavity for holding the edges of the piezo element is designed to resonate at the audio output frequency. A frequency of about 2,500 hertz is preferred because of its pleasant sounding quality and because most hearing loss occurs at higher frequencies. Tone bursts are short and dual, to produce a noticeable but not objectionable alert. 
     Trigger sensitivity level for an open or connected condition between the terminal pads is determined by pull-down resistor 108 and the wake-up voltage threshold level for the IC which is a high impedance sensor input network at pins 72, 74. 
     The card detector tape is connected to battery positive and a high impedance sensor input on the circuit. When all card positions are occupied, the detector tape is essentially open circuit and therefore no voltage appears on the sense pin. A resistor is connected from the sense resistor to ground to shunt any leakage current. The resistor also sets the triggering level for the detector tape. 
     When a card is removed, the folded tape touches creating a resistive short. The resistive value is a function of the touch pressure. Even with a light touch, a noticeable decrease in resistive value occurs. The voltage that appears on the sense pin is determined by the ratio of the sense resistor and the detector tape resistance. The voltage must rise 70% of the battery voltage to be detected by the circuit. Lowering the sense resistor decreases the sensitivity of the card detection. A high value sense resistor increases the card detection sensitivity. 
     When the circuit is running, it continuously checks the card detector input. If the input is high, a card is missing and the circuit will output periodic double beeps. When the input drops low, all cards are present, and the circuit will output a single beep and halt operation. In the halt state the circuit draws no current, thereby preserving battery life. 
     Two methods are available to activate the circuit and switch it to its running move. One method is to drive the circuit reset input low, by pressing the reset button. The second method is to raise the voltage on the sense input above its threshold value, which occurs when a card is removed. 
     The advantages of using the detector tape as a sensor rather than as a power switch include: 
     Highly conductive traces for the conductive surfaces on the detector tape are not required. Low resistance tracks are normally etched from metal or printed using silver based ink, which is expensive and tarnishes. Carbon based ink, although moderately conductive is inexpensive and produces conductive surfaces which are stable and self-healing. 
     Touch resistance is a function of pressure. To use the tape as a power switch, the touch electrical resistance must be low, thereby requiring high pressure. High touch pressure is normally achieved by placing spring clips or foam on the card pockets. This increases wallet thickness, adds cost, complicates installation, and is not suitable for removable installation of the present invention. 
     The present invention works with carbon based conductive surfaces on the unitary tape without the use of additional clips, springs, pressure pads. 
     FIG. 2 shows the electrical circuit of a pair of contacts with the card removed, to IC 78 and the battery. Pin 94 is connected to the battery by the balance circuit of fixed resistor 108 connected to battery negative, and a pair of carbon conductive surfaces 45, 47 in series removable contact connected to battery positive. 
     Referring to FIG. 3, when reset or awakened, the IC circuit will immediately output a short double beep to indicate that it is processing. It then checks the status of wake-up pin 72. If the pin is high indicating a missing card, the circuit will produce a beep-beep reminder every 60 seconds. If the missing card condition exceeds five minutes, the IC will generate a continuous beeping alarm incorporating the one second wait. The alarm can be cleared by pressing the reset switch 98 which restarts the timing process. 
     When reset, the IC circuit will return to its 60 second reminder beeps and will again go into alarm when another five minute period passes. 
     The only way to silence the reminder beeps and subsequent alarm is to replace the missing card. When all card pockets are filled, the IC will sense a low condition on its wake-up pin, produce a single beep and then enter the sleep mode and go silent. 
     Referring to FIGS. 4-6, flexible resilient ribbon 110 is folded over top edge 114 of wall 116 of pocket 118 of credit card wallet 120, and extends into the pocket over interior face 124 of wall 116. Ribbon 110 is designed to have sufficient resiliency to cause it to bow 130 inward 132 under the effect of the ribbon being folded or creased upward over top edge 114. 
     Ribbon 110 is folded within 134 the pocket and is folded 136 over top edge 138 of wall 140. Ribbon 110 bows 142 inward 144 and 146 from its resilience at fold 136. 
     Fold line 150 of the ribbon at the top edge of the pocket opening is called the fold-up line. Fold line 152 of the ribbon between the fold-up lines, where the ribbon bottoms out in the pocket is called the fold-down line. Fold lines 150 and 152 are marked by dots on the ribbon to indicate to the user where to make the folds. 
     In ribbon 110, conductive surfaces 160 on the front of the ribbon each connect to longitudinal bus 162 and extend along a lengthwise portion 164 of the ribbon. Conductive surfaces 170 each connect to longitudinal bus 172 and extend along a lengthwise portion 174 of the ribbon. The back of the ribbon is non-conductive substrate material. 
     A &#34;conductive surface&#34; of a ribbon of the invention is defined herein as a surface of the ribbon which will pass electrical current to an electrical conductor when the electrical conductor is brought into contact with the conductive surface. A conductive portion of the ribbon which is covered with insulation so that it will not pass electrical current to an electrical conductor upon contact is not a conductive surface. 
     Conductive surfaces 160 and 170 are planar with the ribbon, being applied by plating, spraying or other means to provide a conductive surface which follows the surface of a ribbon and flexes with the ribbon. 
     The term &#34;planar&#34; with respect to the conductive surface or a conductive portion of a ribbon of the invention is defined herein as a conductive surface or conductive portion which generally follows the surface of the ribbon and bends with the ribbon surface when the ribbon is bent. 
     In one embodiment, the ribbon substrate material is 0.005 clear flexible polyester. The bus and conductive surfaces comprise a base of flexible silver ink and are planar. The conductive surfaces are substantially carbon, being coated with conductive carbon ink over the silver ink. 
     In another embodiment, the bus and conductive surfaces comprise a base of flexible silver ink. The conductive surfaces are substantially carbon, being coated with conductive carbon ink over the silver ink, and the bus is coated with a flexible dielectric (insulation). 
     Another ribbon substrate may be used. It should be flexible and resilient so that the ribbon bows adjacent to the top of the wall over which it is folded. Other substrates including fiberglass, and stiff plasticized paper can be used. 
     In pocket 156, conductive surface 160 makes electrical contact with conductive surface 170 at inward bows 180 and 182 of the respective surfaces. Conductive surfaces 160 and 170 are biased against one another into electrical contact by the resiliency or springiness of bows 180 and 182. 
     In pockets 118, 190 and 192, conductive surface 160 is prevented from making electrical contact with conductive surface 170 by intervening credit cards 200, 202, and 204. 
     When the bus is coated with a dielectric, the tape cannot be electrically shorted across the buses or across conductive surfaces 160, 170 by conductive ink designs on a face of a card. 
     The distance of the ribbon between the fold-down and fold-up lines is predetermined to fit a card or document so that the card or document when resting in the pocket extends between inward bows 180 and 182, 130 and 132, and 210 and 212. 
     In one embodiment, a tape designed for vertically pocketed wallet-size credit cards has distances between fold-up and fold-down being about 3 inches. 
     In another embodiment, a tape designed for horizontally pocketed wallet-size credit cards has distances between fold-up and fold-down being about 2 inches. 
     In another embodiment a tape designed for horizontally pocketed 8.5 inches by 11 inch paper has distances between fold-up and fold-down being about 7.5 inches. Referring to FIG. 5, from fold lines 150 being through conductive surfaces 160 and 170 it is seen that when ribbon 110 is wrapped over the top edge of a first wall of a pocket and is adjacent to the top edge of the opposite second wall of the pocket, conductive surface 160 is wrapped over the top edge of the first wall, conductive surface 170 is adjacent to the top edge of the opposite wall of the pocket, and conductive surface 160 is wrapped over the top edge of the first wall on a line 154 longitudinal with the ribbon through conductive surface 170. 
     Tape 110 is 0.5 inches wide. It is removably connected to electronics case 220 by inserting 222 ends 224 and 228 into the case. The tape is removably inserted in the pockets. The case is approximately 2.25 inches long by 1 inch wide by 0.125 inches thick and includes the battery. Flap 230 can be pressed to close the reset switch of the circuit contained therein. In most wallets, the addition of the case and tape will hardly increase the thickness of the wallet. 
     In FIG. 7, tape 250 bus 252 and 254 are coated with a dielectric. The only means for electrical conduction between the opposed surfaces of the folded tape are conductive surfaces 256 and 258. Surfaces 256 and 258 are configured on the tape so that when the tape is wrapped over the tops of the pocket walls and extends into the opening, fold-up lines 150 are on the tops of the walls, and a conductive surface is adjacent to the pocket inner wall surfaces adjacent to the tops of the walls. Fold-down lines 152 are at the lowermost part of the tape in the pocket. When conductive surface 256 is wrapped over the top edge of a wall of a pocket at fold-up line 150, and conductive surface 258 is at the top edge of the opposite wall of the pocket conductive surface 256 is wrapped over the top edge on a line 262 that is longitudinal with the ribbon through the conductive surface 258. 
     In FIG. 8, conductive surfaces 270, 272, 274, and 276 are configured suitable distances apart on tape 278 so that when the tape is folded over the tops of the pocket opening walls on fold-up lines 284, and 286, conductive surfaces 270, 272 are adjacent to the top of one wall of the opening, on each side of the wall, bowed away from the wall, and conductive surfaces 274 and 276 are adjacent to the top of, on each side of, and bowed out from the opposite wall of the opening. 
     The fold lines are indicated to the user by creases in the tape or the tape may be provided accordion folded for removably slipping it into wallet pockets. 
     Fold-up lines 284 and 286 are spaced apart on the tape a suitable distance 290 so that a document of predetermined size that is inserted into the tape when the tape is folded on fold-down line 294 extends between conductive surfaces 272 and 274. Fold-down line 294 is not equally spaced from fold-up lines 284 and 286, as the height above fold 294 of the wall upon which fold 286 rests is higher than the height above fold 294 of the wall upon which fold 284 rests. 
     The central longitudinal portion 302 of tape 278 is not covered with an electrically conductive surface. Bus 304 and 306 which are electrically connected to conductive surfaces 270, 272, and to 274, 276 respectively although being conductors to those surfaces are not electrically conductive surfaces because they are coated with a layer of insulation. 
     In FIGS. 5-8 the distance between the fold-up line and the fold-down line for a pocket is equal to or less than the height of the document to be inserted into the fold in the pocket. 
     In FIG. 9, tape 320 is made from flexible resilient plastic. Electrical bus 324 extends along the ribbon lengthwise 328. Bus 324 is connected to electrically conductive surfaces configured in narrow strips 330 each of which extends over the ribbon in an angle that is transverse 338 to the length of the ribbon. 
     Electrical bus 344 extends along the ribbon lengthwise 328. Bus 344 is connected to electrically conductive surfaces configured in narrow strips 340 each of which extends over the ribbon in an angle that is transverse to the length of the ribbon. 
     Strips 330 and 340 are spaced from one another. They are preferably parallel to one another. 
     The length, spacing and angle of strips 330 and 340 is combined such that line 342 which is normal to the length of the ribbon passes through at least one strip 330 and at least one strip 340. 
     When the ribbon is folded over the top edge of a wall of a pocket opening and is folded within the pocket, regardless of the distance between the fold-up and fold-down at least one of conductive surface strips 320 and 340 is wrapped over the top edge of the wall. 
     When conductive surface strip 330a is folded over the top edge of a wall at fold-up line 346, a portion of the strip comprising line 348 extends into the pocket over the interior face of the wall adjacent to the top edge of the pocket wall, bowed away from the interior face of the wall adjacent to the top edge of the pocket. 
     When the ribbon is extended up over the opposite wall of the pocket, at least one each of strips 320 and 340 contact one another at the bow adjacent to a fold-up L 332 that is longitudinal with the ribbon passes through both conductive surface strips 330 and 340, and at least one of conductive surface strips 330 and 340 at fold-up line 346. 
     Although the present invention has been described with respect to details of certain embodiments thereof, it is not intended that such details be limitations upon the scope of the invention. It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that various modifications and substitutions may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the following claims.
