Abstract
A flat electronic storage medium, in particular a USB stick, which has a surface (A) made of elastic material, out of which a tongue-shaped partial surface (B) can be pushed out such that a carrier material (D) can be clamped between the total surface (A) and the partial surface (B). Instead of the partial surface, a wire (E) or a small plate (F) may be provided. It is further proposed that surfaces or partial surfaces, which during clamping of the carrier material (D) are directed at the carrier material (D), have a structured surface (G). In order to achieve an optimal clamping effect and deform the carrier material (D) as little as possible, the surface (B) that can be pushed out is designed sunken as compared to the surface (A). The sunken surface (B) preferably runs in parallel to the plane of the surface (A).
Claims13
An electronic storage medium, in particular a USB stick,
- (a) generally planar in shape, comprised of an elastic material, and having surface area (A) that is provided with at least one opening (C) defining within the total surface area (A) a partial surface area (B) which due to the elasticity of the material can be pushed in or pushed out from the generally planar shape so that a carrier material (D) can be clamped between the remainder of the total surface area (A) and the partial surface area (B), or
- (b) comprising an essentially U- or V-shaped wire (E) or a small plate (F) the free ends of which in the case of a wire (E) or one edge of which in the case of a small plate (F) is/are fixed to a flat section (A) of the storage medium such that a carrier material (D) can be clamped between the wire (E) or the small plate (F) and the flat section (A).
