Abstract
A device designed to receive a plurality of credit cards and/or bank check cards comprises a case which contains a drawer for each card. Associated with each drawer is a spring and a detent and when the detent is released, the drawer is pushed out of the case as far as an extraction stop by the force of the spring. With the drawer pushed out, the card can easily be removed. After use, the card is replaced in the drawer and this is pushed back into the case. A button is provided on the outside of the case for each drawer in order to release the detent. In order to receive the card securely, each drawer has a rib on its surface which is formed, at one place, as a freely swinging web bent inwards which serves as a card clip and prevents the card from falling out of the case.
