Card holder, especially for plastic cards with readable data unit, such as credit cards and/or smart cards, with externally hinged covers (1, 2) made of a rather rigid material constituting the walls of the card holder as each of the covers (1, 2) at or near the ends which are not hinged together, has at least one mutually conjunctive locking mechanism (4) to hold the card holder locked when it is not being used. The card holder has, two paired, mainly identical, holding devices (5, 6) at opposite sides, said holding devices (5, 6), preferably, being hinged together with the covers (1, 2), and having a number of paired, opposing holding surfaces (11, 12) to enclose an area along the side edges of cards of the above mentioned type. The holding surfaces (11, 12) are mainly parallel to each other both when the card holder is open and closed. The card holder preferably comprises a spring mechanism (8, 10), which exerts pressure outwards on the hinged covers (1, 2) when closed, and which assists in the opening of the card holder when the locking mechanism (4), which keeps the card holder closed, is released.

Ce dernier comprend des dispositifs appariés de support identiques (5, 6) situés à des côtés opposés, lesquels sont articulés avec les couvertures (1, 2) et possèdent un nombre de surfaces support appariées opposées (11, 12) de manière à entourer une zone autour des bords latéraux des cartes du type susmentionné. Les surfaces support (11, 12) sont parallèles l'une par rapport à l'autre quand le support est ouvert et fermé. Le support pour cartes comprend, de préférence, un mécanisme à ressort (8, 10) exerçant une pression dirigées vers l'extérieur sur les couvertures articulées (1, 2) lorsqu'il est fermé et assistant l'ouverture du support pour cartes quand le mécanisme de verrouillage (4), maintenant le support pour cartes fermé, est relâché.
