Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a long wallet that can store bills without folding them. [Background technology]

[0002] Various long wallets have been developed to date (Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, etc.). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-160054 [Patent Document 2] Utility Model Registration No. 3201232 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Although it is generally called a long wallet, a typical long wallet like the one shown in Figure 1 is 190 mm or more wide, and cards are arranged in two rows side by side, so the thickness of the cards is distributed. However, their size is naturally large, and as a result, they cannot be put into small bags or pockets, which are popular these days, and their use is often restricted.

[0005] In contrast to this, there are mini long wallets, which utilize the features of long wallets, such as being able to store bills without folding them, but are smaller in size, as shown in Figure 2. Mini long wallets are between 164mm and 190mm wide, and in order to achieve this size, they are designed so that cards can be stacked.

[0006] However, as shown in Figure 3, the cards tend to pile up in the center of the wallet, which causes the center of the wallet to bulge unsightly, as shown in Figure 4, which is a problem. Therefore, the inventor of the present application has completed the present invention in order to provide a long wallet (especially a mini long wallet) that can store bills without folding them, while also being well-balanced by reducing the bulge in some areas due to storage. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The first invention of the present application is a long wallet equipped with a bill storage section for storing bills without folding them, and a horizontal card storage section for storing multiple cards horizontally with adjacent cards and portions of them overlapping, characterized in that the long wallet has a vertical card storage section for storing cards vertically at both ends or one end of the longitudinal direction of the long wallet. The second invention is a long wallet according to the first invention, characterized in that a horizontal storage section for cards and a vertical storage section for cards are arranged facing each other on opposite sides of the long wallet. The third invention is a long wallet according to the second invention, characterized in that the overlapping portion of the cards in the horizontal card storage section abuts against a portion of the surface on which the vertical card storage section is provided other than the vertical card storage section. The fourth invention is a long wallet according to any one of the first to third inventions, characterized in that the horizontal card storage section is located above the surface on which the horizontal card storage section is located, and the area below it is a coin storage section in which coins can be stored. The fifth invention is a long wallet according to any one of the first to fourth inventions, characterized in that the long wallet is a mini long wallet with a longitudinal width of 164 mm or more and less than 190 mm. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] The present invention has the following effects. (1) By providing a vertical card storage section at either end or one of the longitudinal ends of the long wallet, cards can be stored while avoiding overlapping areas of multiple cards stored in the horizontal card storage section, thereby providing a well-balanced long wallet without reducing the capacity (number of cards) or causing bulging in only one area. (2) The horizontal card storage section and the vertical card storage section are arranged facing each other on opposite sides of the long wallet, allowing for effective use of the limited space inside the wallet. (3) When some of the cards in the horizontal card storage section are stacked, they come into contact with the other part of the surface of the vertical card storage section other than the vertical card storage section, creating a “gap” and preventing the long wallet from expanding more than necessary. (4) The horizontal card storage section is located above the surface where the horizontal card storage section is located, and the area below it is used as a coin storage section where coins can be stored, so that the bulge of the long wallet due to coins can be suppressed. (5) A mini-long wallet with a longitudinal width of 164 mm or more and less than 190 mm can be provided without reducing its storage capacity, thus providing a well-balanced and innovative mini-long wallet.

[0010] The present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the present invention is described with reference to a mini long wallet, it is also applicable to a long wallet of a larger size. FIG. 5 illustrates the interior of the long wallet according to the present invention. First, here is an overview of the long wallet: Capacity: 10 bills, 16 cards, 20 coins Leather: Monica The long wallet has a bill storage section 10 in the center, and horizontal card storage sections 20, 20 for storing cards horizontally on the outside of the bill storage section partition that separates the bill storage section 10. Also, a coin storage section 40 is provided below the horizontal card storage section 20. Furthermore, vertical card storage sections 30, 30, 30, 30 for storing cards vertically are provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the inner side surface of the long wallet so as to face the horizontal card storage section 20.

[0011] (Point 1) If the long wallet has the interior (internal structure) shown in Figure 5, it will have the same structure as shown in Figure 6. It is possible to offer a well-balanced mini long wallet, despite being one of the smallest in Japan, measuring 90mm in height, 165mm in width, and 17mm in depth.

[0012] (Point 2) When the long wallet shown in Fig. 5 is closed, the overlapping portion 21 of the cards stored in the horizontal card storage section 20 is positioned exactly in the clearance 31 between the vertical card storage sections 30, 30 provided on the inner side of the long wallet, as shown in Fig. 7. This absorbs the bulge caused by the overlapping portion 21 of the cards, as shown in Fig. 8. This is the result of the exquisite layout of the card storage sections (vertical card storage section 30 and horizontal card storage section 20) inside the long wallet, and is the greatest feature of the present invention.

[0013] (Point 3) As shown in Figure 5, coin storage section 40 is provided below horizontal card storage section 20, and by using accordion-shaped gussets 50 connecting the side edges of the long wallet (gussets folded like accordions), coin storage section 40 can be opened wide as shown in Figure 9. This makes it easier to see and take out coins from the long wallet.

[0014] (Point 4) As shown in Fig. 5, the coin storage section 40 is provided below the horizontal card storage section 20, which results in a structure in which cards stored in the horizontal card storage section 20 and coins stored in the coin storage section 40 do not overlap, as shown in Fig. 10. Therefore, bulging caused by cards and coins overlapping each other is eliminated.

[0015] (summary) As a result, it is possible to eliminate the overlap of cards, which tend to gather in the center of the wallet, and also to eliminate the overlap of cards and coins. By eliminating these two causes of wallet bulge, we have succeeded in providing a long wallet with a well-balanced, revolutionary structure. [Industrial Applicability]

[0016] The long wallet according to the present invention can be widely used as a storage device for storing bills, coins, and cards. [Explanation of symbols]
