Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a wallet, and more particularly to a bifold wallet having a bill storage section and a coin storage section. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, bifold wallets with a bill storage section and a coin storage section are well known. In such wallets, the coin storage section is secured with a zipper to prevent spills, and many of them have a fan-shaped gusset or box-shaped gusset that makes it easy to insert and remove coins (for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2021-62023 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, many of the conventional bifold wallets mentioned above have the drawback of being bulky and thick due to the presence of fan-shaped or box-shaped gussets. Some wallets simply have zippers or hooks to prevent coins from spilling out, but the opening of the coin storage compartment is narrow, making it difficult to insert and remove coins. On the other hand, coin storage compartments with larger openings make it easier to insert and remove coins, but the opening tends to deform and is difficult to maintain a consistent shape, making it difficult to handle coins properly when removing them.

[0005] The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its object is to provide a bifold wallet with a coin storage section that allows coins to be easily checked, coins to be easily inserted and removed, and that is easy to handle. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] (1) The wallet of the present invention is a bifold wallet having a bill storage section and a coin storage section provided in the main body sheet, and the bill storage section and the coin storage section are arranged on the inside where they overlap when folded in half, and the coin storage section has a storage structure formed by a storage section rear sheet, a trapezoidal storage section front sheet consisting of multiple overlapping sheets, storage section side sheets arranged on both sides of the storage section front sheet, and a coin storage section lid, and the storage section front sheet is arranged so that the upper edge portion, which is the shorter side of the trapezoid, forms part of the periphery of the coin insertion / removal opening.

[0007] According to this invention, the coin storage section has a storage structure comprising a storage section rear sheet, a trapezoidal storage section front sheet formed by stacking multiple sheets, storage section side sheets arranged on both sides of the storage section front sheet, and a coin storage section lid. The storage section front sheet is arranged so that the upper side, which is the shorter side of the trapezoid, forms part of the periphery of the coin slot. Therefore, when the bifold wallet is opened and the coin slot is widened by pinching the storage section side sheets on both sides with two fingers to remove coins from the coin storage section, the storage section front sheet does not deform excessively due to the rigidity of the multiple stacked sheets. As a result, the coin slot can maintain a stable, upright opening shape (also referred to as a substantially rectangular shape), which provides unprecedented advantages such as making it easy to check the coins stored in the coin storage section and to easily insert and remove coins and handle them. In addition, the coin storage section is composed of a storage section rear sheet, a storage section front sheet, a storage section side sheet, and a coin storage section lid, which has the advantage that the wallet does not become thicker and bulkier than with a gusset structure like conventional wallets.

[0008] (2) In the wallet of the present invention, a card storage section is provided on the front side, which is not overlapped when folded in half and on the side where the coin storage section is not provided.

[0009] According to this invention, the card storage compartment is provided on the front side, which does not include the coin storage compartment, so cards can be quickly inserted and removed without opening the bifold wallet. Furthermore, because the card storage compartment is not provided on the opposite side of the coin storage compartment, when the bifold wallet is opened and the coin access opening is widened by pinching the storage compartment side sheets on both sides with two fingers to remove coins from the coin storage compartment, a rigid card does not restrict the coin access opening from opening. As a result, even in a bifold wallet with a card storage compartment, the coin access opening can maintain a stable, upright (approximately rectangular) opening. This card storage compartment is convenient for storing, for example, two or three cards that you frequently use on a daily basis.

[0010] (3) In the wallet of the present invention, the storage compartment rear sheet and the storage compartment side sheets are thinner or more flexible than the storage compartment front sheet.

[0011] According to this invention, the storage compartment rear sheet and storage compartment side sheets are thinner or more flexible and more easily deformed than the storage compartment front sheet. As a result, when the bifold wallet is opened and the coin access opening is widened by pinching both storage compartment side sheets with two fingers to remove coins from the coin storage compartment, the upper edge portion of the rigid trapezoidal storage compartment front sheet acts to maintain the opening shape of the coin access opening in a fixed shape, maintaining a stable upright shape (approximately square).

[0012] (4) In the wallet of the present invention, the storage section side sheets have a diagonal structure in which the bottom extends toward the main body sheet side where the coin storage section is provided.

[0013] According to this invention, the storage section side sheets have an inclined structure in which the bottom extends toward the main body sheet side, which can further prevent coins from spilling out from the coin insertion / removal opening.

[0014] (5) In the wallet of the present invention, the coin storage compartment cover has a pocket structure on its inner side.

[0015] According to this invention, when the coin storage compartment is folded in half, the coin storage compartment lid prevents coins from spilling out, and when the coin storage compartment lid is opened to remove the coins, the shallow pocket structure on the inner surface of the coin storage compartment lid prevents coins that have slightly protruded from the coin storage compartment from spilling out. Furthermore, by providing this pocket structure, coins can be moved close to the pocket structure and viewed, so the type and number of coins can be seen at a glance without removing the coins, making it easy to remove only the coins you need.

[0016] (6) In the wallet of the present invention, it is preferable that the angle of the inclined sides on both sides of the trapezoidal storage compartment front sheet is within the range of 55° to 80° with respect to the bottom side, which is the longer side of the trapezoid.

[0017] According to this invention, the angle of the inclined side portions on both sides of the trapezoidal storage section front sheet is within the above range relative to the bottom side portion, which is the long side of the trapezoid, so that when the bifold wallet is opened and the coin insertion / removal opening is widened by pinching the storage section side sheets on both sides with two fingers to remove coins from the coin storage section, an opening shape of a preferred size can be formed.

[0018] (7) In the wallet of the present invention, when the bifold wallet is opened, the gap between the storage compartment rear sheet and the main body sheet on the side where the coin storage compartment is provided constitutes one side of the bill storage compartment into which one end of the bill is inserted, and the pocket provided at the inner end on the side where the coin storage compartment is not provided constitutes the other side of the bill storage compartment into which the other end of the bill is inserted.

[0019] According to this invention, the bill storage unit is configured so that one end of a bill is inserted into the gap between the storage unit rear sheet on the side where the coin storage unit is provided and the main sheet, and the other end of the bill is inserted into a pocket provided at the inner end of the side where the coin storage unit is not provided. This bill storage unit allows bills to be easily stored between the gap and the pocket without folding them. When removing bills, a user can insert a finger under the visible bill, remove the bill from the pocket, and easily select and remove the required number of bills. The bill storage unit can also hold receipts, card slips, etc. The width of the pocket is preferably about 7 mm wider than the width of the bill to allow for ample space for inserting and removing bills.

[0020] (8) In the wallet of the present invention, a second card storage section is provided on the inside where the two overlap when folded in half, on the side where the coin storage section is not provided, and the second card storage section is configured by attaching a card holding cover to the main body sheet.

[0021] According to this invention, a second card storage section is provided on the inside of the side where the coin storage section is not provided, allowing for storage of cards that are not frequently used or personal information cards such as driver's licenses and My Number cards. This second card storage section is configured so that one side of the card holder cover is attached to the main sheet by sewing or the like, and the other, opposite side that is not sewn can be inserted into and removed from the pocket of the bill storage section. To store a card in this second card storage section, the card holder cover is flipped up, the card is inserted into the pocket of the bill storage section, and then the other side of the card holder cover is inserted into the same pocket over the card. This second card storage section can also hold approximately two to three cards. [Effects of the Invention]

[0022] According to the present invention, a bifold wallet with a coin storage compartment that allows coins to be easily checked, inserted and removed, and handled is provided. In particular, when the bifold wallet is opened and the coin access opening is widened by pinching the storage compartment side sheets on both sides with two fingers to remove coins from the coin storage compartment, the storage compartment front sheet does not deform excessively due to the rigidity of multiple laminated sheets, allowing the coin access opening to maintain a stable, upright (approximately rectangular) opening shape. As a result, it is possible to achieve unprecedented, exceptional benefits, such as making it easy to check the coins stored in the coin storage compartment, and making it easy to insert and remove coins and handle them. Another advantage of this coin storage compartment is that it does not increase the thickness and bulk of the wallet, as is the case with conventional wallets that have a gusseted structure.

[0024] The wallet of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0025] [Bifold wallet] As shown in Figures 1 to 12, wallet 1 of the present invention is a bifold wallet in which banknote storage section 12 and coin storage section 15 are provided in main body sheet 11, and banknote storage section 12 and coin storage section 15 are arranged on inner side A which are overlapped when folded in half, and coin storage section 15 has a storage structure formed by storage section rear sheet 15a, storage section front sheet 15b which is a trapezoidal shape formed by overlapping multiple sheets, storage section side sheets 15c, 15c arranged on both sides of storage section front sheet 15b, and coin storage section lid 14, and storage section front sheet 15b is characterized in that upper side portion 27a which is the shorter side of the trapezoidal shape is arranged to form part of the periphery of coin insertion / withdrawal opening 29.

[0026] In this wallet 1, the coin storage section 15 has a storage structure made up of a storage section rear sheet 15a, a storage section front sheet 15b that is trapezoidal and made up of multiple sheets stacked together, storage section side sheets 15c, 15c arranged on either side of the storage section front sheet 15b, and the coin storage section lid 14. The storage section front sheet 15b is arranged so that the upper edge 27a, which is the shorter side of the trapezoid, forms part of the periphery of the coin insertion / withdrawal opening 29. Therefore, when the bifold wallet 1 is opened and the coin insertion / withdrawal opening 29 is widened by pinching the storage section side sheets 15c, 15c on both sides with two fingers to remove coins 25 from the coin storage section 15, the storage section front sheet 15b does not deform excessively due to the rigidity of the multiple sheets stacked together. As a result, coin insertion / withdrawal opening 29 can maintain a stable, upright opening shape (also referred to as a substantially rectangular shape), which provides unprecedented and exceptional benefits such as making it easy to check coins 25 stored in coin storage unit 15 and making it easy to insert and remove and handle coins 25. Furthermore, because coin storage unit 15 is made up of storage unit rear sheet 15a, storage unit front sheet 15b, storage unit side sheets 15c, 15c, and coin storage unit lid 14, there is an advantage in that the wallet does not become thicker and bulkier, as is the case with conventional wallets that have a gusseted structure.

[0027] Each component will be described in detail.

[0028] (wallet) As shown in Figures 1 to 12, wallet 1 of the present invention is a bifold wallet in which a bill storage section 12 and a coin storage section 15 are provided in main body sheet 11. This wallet 1 is preferably provided with card storage section 21 shown in Figures 7 and 8, and is preferably provided with second card storage section 26 shown in Figure 2 etc.

[0029] Each component of wallet 1 may be constructed by sewing or gluing individually manufactured parts together, or by combining hook and eye fasteners, etc. However, as can be seen from FIG. 12 and other figures, it is preferable to construct wallet 1 by cutting a single sheet into a predetermined shape, folding or overlapping the parts, and combining the hook and eye fasteners, etc. Regarding the hook and eye fasteners, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 11, hook and eye fasteners 16 to 20, 22, each consisting of a spring and a dowel, and a crimping member 23 are each provided in a specific position. The structural form of the hook and eye fasteners and crimping members is not particularly limited, and there are no particular restrictions on the materials, as long as they fulfill the functions of the hook and eye fasteners and crimping members. Other components may be included as needed, as long as they do not impair the effects of the present invention.

[0030] Each sheet member constituting wallet 1 (for example, main body sheet 11, coin storage compartment lid 14, storage compartment rear sheet 15a, storage compartment front sheet 15b, storage compartment side sheet 15c, card storage compartment 21, card holder cover 26a) can be made of a variety of materials, including artificial leather, natural leather, or cloth or sheet material used in wallets, and is not particularly limited. Furthermore, there are no particular limitations on the thickness of each sheet member, except for the features of the present invention.

[0031] (Coin storage section) The coin storage section 15 is a section for storing coins 25, and is arranged together with the banknote storage section 12 on the inner side A where the coins overlap when folded in half. The coin storage section 15 has a storage structure made up of a storage section rear sheet 15a, a trapezoidal storage section front sheet 15b made up of multiple overlapping sheets, storage section side sheets 15c, 15c arranged on both sides of the storage section front sheet 15b, and a coin storage section lid 14, and is attached to the main body sheet 11. The coin storage section 15 configured in this way has the advantage of not increasing the thickness and bulk of the wallet, as is the case with conventional wallets that have a gusset structure.

[0032] (trapezoidal portion of coin storage section) The storage unit front sheet 15b is provided so that an upper side 27a, which is the short side of the trapezoidal shape (also referred to as the trapezoidal portion 27), forms part of the periphery of the coin insertion / removal opening 29. As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the trapezoidal portion 27 is composed of an upper side 27a, which is the short side, a lower side 27b, which is the long side, a right inclined side 27c, and a left inclined side 27d. The right inclined side 27c and the left inclined side 27d are the inclined sides on both sides of the trapezoidal portion 27.

[0033] 11, when the bifold wallet 1 is opened and the coin insertion / removal opening 29 is widened by pinching both storage compartment side sheets 15c with two fingers to remove coins 25 from the coin storage compartment 15, the angle of the inclined sides 27c, 27d constituting the trapezoidal shaped portion 27 is not particularly limited as long as it is an angle that forms an upright (approximately square) opening shape that is not excessively deformed due to the rigidity of the storage compartment front sheet 15b, but from this perspective, it is preferable that the angle be in the range of 55° to 80°, and more preferably in the range of 60° to 75°, relative to the bottom side 27b. The upright (approximately square) opening shape when removing coins 25 from the coin storage compartment 15 provides unprecedented special effects such as making it easy to check the coins 25 stored in the coin storage compartment 15 and making it easy to insert and remove coins 25 and handle them.

[0034] The storage compartment rear sheet 15a and the storage compartment side sheets 15c are thinner or more flexible than the storage compartment front sheet 15b, and are more easily deformed than the rigid storage compartment front sheet 15b. Since the storage compartment front sheet 15b is composed of multiple layers, for example, two to four layers, the storage compartment rear sheet 15a and the storage compartment side sheets 15c can be made single-layer to be thinner or more flexible than the rigid storage compartment front sheet 15b. Furthermore, the storage compartment rear sheet 15a and the storage compartment side sheets 15c can be made thinner or more flexible than the rigid storage compartment front sheet 15b by using a material that is more flexible or thinner than the storage compartment front sheet 15b. With this configuration, the upper edge portion 27a constituting the rigid trapezoidal storage compartment front sheet 15b acts to maintain the opening shape of the coin insertion / removal opening 29 in a constant shape, thereby maintaining a stable upright shape (approximately rectangular).

[0035] (Upright opening type) The opening shape of the upright opening (coin insertion / withdrawal opening 29) is a substantially rectangular shape as shown in Figures 10 and 11. This upright shape is obtained by deforming the coin insertion / withdrawal opening 29 so that the coins 25 inside can be clearly seen when the coin storage unit 15 is pinched between fingers from the left and right. In order to make the most of this upright shape, the storage unit rear sheet 15a, the storage unit side sheets 15c, 15c, and the main body sheet 11 need to be flexible and deformable when the coin insertion / withdrawal opening 29 is widened by pinching the storage unit side sheets 15c, 15c on both sides with two fingers. Note that if a card storage unit 21 (described later) is disposed on the back of the coin storage unit 15, the stiffness of the card will prevent the upright shape, making it difficult to easily see the coins 25 and to insert or remove the coins 25.

[0036] In the illustrated example, the trapezoidal portion 27 is formed by overlapping the left and right storage side sheets 15c, 15c extending to the front of the coin storage unit 15, and the trapezoidal storage front sheet 15b further overlapping the extended overlapping portions, and fastened with hook members (dowels) 20. In this way, the rigid trapezoidal portion 27 is formed.

[0037] (diagonal structure) As shown in Figures 5, 6, 10 and 11, the storage section side sheets 15c, 15c preferably have an inclined structure 28 whose base extends toward the main sheet side where the coin storage section 15 is provided. In Figures 5 and 6, the inclined structure 28 is cut so as to extend along a curved surface, but in the upright shape shown in Figures 10 and 11, it can be seen that the incisions on the curved surface form an inclined inclined structure 28. Such an inclined structure 28 can further prevent coins 25 from spilling out of the coin insertion / withdrawal opening 29.

[0038] (Coin compartment lid) The coin storage compartment lid 14 is used to open and close the coin insertion / withdrawal opening 29 of the coin storage compartment 15, and left and right sides 14b, 14c are fastened by stitching or the like. A shallow pocket structure 14a folded in by approximately 2 cm is preferably provided on the inner surface that is revealed when the coin storage compartment lid 14 is opened. The coin storage compartment lid 14 prevents coins 25 from spilling out of the coin storage compartment 15 when the wallet 1 is folded in half. When the wallet 1 is unfolded and unfolded, and the coin storage compartment lid 14 is opened to remove coins 25 from the coin storage compartment 15, the pocket structure 14a slides from the coin storage compartment 15 to the pocket structure 14a, causing the coin 25 to pop out slightly, as shown in FIG. 6 . Even in such a case, the coins 25 are stopped by the left and right diagonal structures 28, 28, preventing the coins 25 from spilling out of the wallet 1. With such a wallet 1, as shown in Figure 6, there is no need to worry about the coins 25 spilling out, and because the coins 25 slide close to the pocket structure 14a, the type and number of coins 25 can be seen at a glance without having to put one's finger inside the coin storage section 15 to remove the coins 25, making it easy to remove only the coins you need.

[0039] (Banknote storage section) As shown in Figures 3 and 4, banknotes 24 are stored in the banknote storage unit 12. When the bifold wallet 1 is opened, the banknote storage unit 12 has a gap 15d between the storage rear sheet 15a on the side where the coin storage unit 15 is provided and the main sheet 11, which serves as one storage unit of the banknote storage unit 12 into which one end of the banknote 24 is inserted. Also, a pocket 13 provided at the end 11a of the inside A (the end in the longitudinal direction of the main sheet) on the side where the coin storage unit 15 is not provided serves as the other storage unit of the banknote storage unit 12 into which the other end of the banknote 24 is inserted. In this banknote storage unit 12, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, one end of the banknote 24 is inserted into the gap 15d, and the other end of the banknote 24 is inserted into the pocket 13.

[0040] The bill storage unit 12 can easily store bills 24 between the gap 15d and the pocket 13 without folding them. When removing bills 24, a user inserts a finger under the visible bills 24, removes the bills 24 from the pocket 13, and easily selects and removes the required number of bills. Receipts, card slips, and other documents can also be placed in the bill storage unit 12. The width of the gap 15d is preferably about 6 to 8 mm wider than the width of the bills 24 to allow for ample space for inserting and removing the bills 24, allowing for easy storage of approximately 10 bills 24. Similarly, the width of the pocket 13 is preferably about 6 to 8 mm wider than the width of the bills 24 to allow for ample space for inserting and removing the bills 24. The pocket 13 can be made by attaching a piece of leather or the like integrated with the card storage unit 21 to the upper portion of the main body sheet 11 and fastening the left and right sides by sewing or the like. Pocket 13 is about 2 to 3 cm deep, and bills 24 can be easily removed by hooking them with your fingers, making it convenient for taking bills 24 in and out. Also, when wallet 1 is folded in half, bill storage section 12 is longer than bills 24, so bills 24 do not get wrinkled.

[0041] (Card storage section) As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 , the card storage section 21 is located on the front side B, which is not overlapped when the wallet is folded in half, and on the side where the coin storage section 15 is not located. Because the card storage section 21 is located on the front side B, cards can be quickly inserted and removed without opening the bi-fold wallet 1. Because the card storage section 21 is not located on the opposite side of the coin storage section 15, when the bi-fold wallet 1 is opened and the coin insertion / withdrawal opening 29 is widened by pinching the storage section side sheets 15c, 15c on both sides with two fingers to remove coins 25 from the coin storage section 15, the opening of the coin insertion / withdrawal opening 29 is not restricted by a hard card. As a result, even in a bi-fold wallet 1 provided with the card storage section 21, the coin insertion / withdrawal opening 29 can maintain a stable, upright (approximately rectangular) opening. It is convenient to store, for example, two or three cards that are frequently used on a daily basis in the card storage section 21.

[0042] This card storage section 21 is formed by attaching a card storage section cover 21a to the front side B of the main body sheet 11. The attachment is performed by attaching one side 21b of the card storage section cover 21a to the longitudinal end 11a of the main body sheet 11 by sewing or the like, and locating the other opposing side 21c, which is not sewn, toward the center of the main body sheet 11, and attaching a hook member (spring) 22 without sewing to the cover so that it can be opened and closed by engaging with a hook member (dowel) 18 attached from the inside A, which is the back surface. To store a card in this card storage section 21, the card storage section cover 21a can be opened by releasing the hook members 18, 22, and the card can be inserted.

[0043] (Second card storage section) As shown in Figures 2 and 12, the second card storage section 26 is provided on the inside A that overlaps when the wallet 1 is folded in half, on the side where the coin storage section 15 is not provided. This second card storage section 26 is configured by attaching a card holding cover 26a to the main body sheet 11. There are no particular restrictions on the use of this second card storage section 26, but unlike the card storage section 21 already described, it can also be used to store cards that are not used frequently or personal information cards such as driver's licenses and My Number cards.

[0044] This second card storage section 26 is configured so that one side 26b of a card holding cover 26a is attached to the main body sheet 11 by sewing or the like, and the other opposing side 26c that is not sewn is positioned so that it can be inserted into and removed from the pocket 13 of the bill storage section 12. To store a card in this second card storage section 26, as shown in Fig. 12, the card holding cover 26a is flipped up, the card is inserted into the pocket 13 of the bill storage section 12, and then the other side 26c of the card holding cover 26a is inserted into the same pocket 13 from above the card. This second card storage section 26 can also hold about two to three cards.

[0045] There is no need to worry about cards placed in second card storage section 26 falling out, as the other side 26c of card holder cover 26a is inserted and held in pocket 13. As second card storage section 26 is located below bills 24 as shown in Fig. 4, cards cannot be removed until bills 24 have been removed from pocket 13 and card holder cover 26a has been removed from pocket 13. Therefore, as mentioned above, it is desirable to store cards that are not used frequently or personal information cards such as driver's licenses and My Number cards in this section.

[0046] With the wallet 1 of the present invention, all operations (taking in and out coins 25, taking out and putting in bills 24, taking out and putting in cards) can be performed with the hand in the same position, so coins 25, bills 24, cards, etc. can be taken in and out smoothly without moving the wallet 1 greatly.
