AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention describes a device that can convert a wallet into a purse while providing support to the wallet. This makes it easier to carry and use the wallet in a more comfortable way.

Problems solved by technology

Small purses are available in many fashion textiles, colors, and patterns and from a wide selection of designers—but are not usually constructed with the common organizational features of a wallet.
However, as initially created (with a strap from another handbag), the strap did not provide enough support for the wallet fold and caused the wallet to undesirably crease at two stress points.

Embodiment Construction

[0025]The present invention is shown best in FIGS. 1-5.

[0026]In the preferred embodiment, the bar apparatus (1), shown in FIG. 1, would be constructed of a metal or plastic, although the specific type of metal or plastic used is not critical to the present invention so long as it is strong enough to maintain its structure and allow a wallet (20) weight load of likely not more than twenty (20) pounds. The material may also be a suitably strong non-metal material with a metal-like coating that may be manufactured to coordinate with the hardware available on a variety of wallets.

[0027]It is to be understood that modifications may be made to the bar apparatus (1) of the present invention, particularly in relation to the length of the apparatus, which will be manufactured in multiple lengths to work with widely available wallet sizes and which fall within the scope of the above description.

[0028]The width of the bar apparatus (1) will likely be ⅝″ (the left to right measurement in FIG. 2...

Abstract

A bar apparatus where the bar is sized so that it can be inserted into the fold or opening, also herein called the crease, of a woman's checkbook-sized wallet. The bar may be quickly and easily secured into the crease of a wallet with the exposed two ends having openings that will permit a releasable strap to be attached to the bar so that the wallet can be worn on the shoulder, on the arm, or in hand as a purse.

Women's wallets, in particular, are widely used as both an item of convenience and a fashion accessory. They are generally compact and may offer varied organizational options like slots for credit cards, a zippered pocket for coins, and / or an area for a checkbook. Many women use wallets to organize smaller, important items like credit cards, a checkbook, paper money, coins, feminine products, etc. Often these wallets are then stored inside a larger purse or similar bag.[0006]While purses do have a capacity for carrying items, they are not always convenient. The more space a purse can carry, the bigger in size and weight it ca...
