Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, the conventional business card case has the following problems. That is, there is a problem that only the stored multiple business cards float up integrally while overlapping, and it takes time to take out one from the overlapping business cards.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above conventional problems, and for example, aims to provide a card holder that can quickly take out cards such as business cards with a smooth operation.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] The present invention is a card holder including a storage section capable of storing a card having a rectangular front shape, and an opening / closing lid displaceable between a position closing the storage section and a position opening the storage section. At least one location on the outer circumference of the bottom of the storage compartment is provided with a pressable area that allows the surface of the card stored in the storage compartment to be pressed in, On the outer periphery of the storage section, a gap is provided in which the side wall surrounding the outer periphery is interrupted, corresponding to the area that can be pushed in. The card holder is characterized in that the missing portion is located on the opposite side of the pushable area with reference to at least one of the multiple target axes of the rectangle of the card stored in the storage section. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] In the card holder of the present invention, a pushable area is provided at least at one location on the outer circumference of the bottom of the storage section, and a cutout in the side wall surrounding the outer circumference of the storage section is provided corresponding to the pushable area. This cutout is positioned on the opposite side of the pushable area with reference to at least one of the multiple axes of symmetry of the rectangular shape of the card in the storage section.

[0008] In the card holder of the present invention, by pressing a finger into the part of the surface of the stored card that overlaps with the pressable area, the card can be bent, causing the opposite side of the card to lift up. In this card holder of the present invention, a cutout in the side wall is located on the opposite side of the pressable area, and by pressing the card with a finger as described above, the card can be lifted up at this cutout. By using this cutout, the card can be quickly removed from the storage compartment by inserting a fingertip behind the lifted card.

[0009] As described above, the card holder of the present invention is a convenient product that allows for the quick and smooth removal of cards, such as business cards. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0011] Embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described using the following examples. (Example 1) This example concerns a business card holder, model 1, which is an example of a cardholder. This will be explained using Figures 1 to 6.

[0012] The business card holder 1 in this example (Figure 1) is a double-opening, separate-type business card holder equipped with a storage section 10 capable of storing business cards 5, which are an example of cards with a rectangular front shape, and openable and closable lids 12 and 13. The business card holder 1 is constructed by connecting a double-sided tray 11 that forms the storage section 10, lids 12 and 13 via a hinge section 15. In Figure 1, the reference numerals M1 and M2 indicate the axes of symmetry of the rectangular business card 5 stored in the storage section 10. In the case of a rectangular business card 5, the axes of symmetry of the rectangle of the business card 5 are the longitudinal axis of symmetry M2 and the short-axis of symmetry M1.

[0013] As shown in FIG. 2 showing the duplex tray 11 and FIG. 3 showing the lids 12 and 13, the lids 12 and 13 and the duplex tray 11 are coupled via a hinge pin 151. In FIG. 2, for the sake of understanding the structure, the duplex tray 11 in a state where only the hinge pin 151 is combined is illustrated. Similarly, in FIG. 3, a state where the lids 12 and 13 are connected by the hinge pin 151 is illustrated except for the duplex tray 11.

[0014] The duplex tray 11 (FIGS. 1 and 2) is a tray-shaped member provided with storage portions 10 on both sides. In the duplex tray 11, the storage portions 10 on both sides are partitioned by a bottom plate 110 forming the bottom. Each storage portion 10 is a space surrounded by an outer periphery by side walls 114 and is formed so as to be able to store business cards 5 (see FIGS. 5 and 6) inside.

[0015] Note that the usability of the business card holder 1 in this example is realized by the characteristic configuration of the duplex tray 11. Therefore, the configuration of each part of the duplex tray 11 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 4 after outlining the configuration of the business card holder 1.

[0016] The lids 12 and 13 (FIGS. 1 and 3) are rotatable while being pivotally supported by a hinge pin 151 inserted into hinges 128 and 138. The lids 12 and 13 are rotationally displaceable between a rotational position along the duplex tray 11 and a rotational position that separates from the duplex tray 11 and opens the front surface side of the duplex tray 11. The lids 12 and 13 are stopped from rotating by the duplex tray 11 with an angle of about 100 degrees as a limit based on the angle along the duplex tray 11. In the following description, the rotational position along the duplex tray 11 is referred to as the closed position of the lids 12 and 13. Further, the rotational position of about 100 degrees, which is the limit based on the angle along the duplex tray 11, is referred to as the open position of the lids 12 and 13.

[0017] In the middle part of the hinge pin 151 (Figs. 2 and 3) forming the hinge part 15, for example, knurling (not shown) for anti-rotation is performed, and it is fitted into the hinge 118 of the double-sided tray 11 in a non-rotating state. Cylindrical coil springs 158 are externally inserted at both ends of the hinge pin 151. This coil spring 158 is assembled with one winding end twisted around the axis relative to the other winding end. One winding end of the coil spring 158 is fixed to the hinge pin 151, and the other winding end is fixed to the lid 12 or the lid 13. The lid 12 or the lid 13 assembled to the double-sided tray 11 is biased toward the above-described open position by the spring force of the coil spring 158.

[0018] A holding structure is provided between the double-sided tray 11 and the lids 12 and 13 to hold the lids 12 and 13 at the above-described closed position against the spring force of the coil spring 158. This holding structure is composed of a combination of a catch 119 provided on the side wall 114 of the double-sided tray 11 on the side opposite to the hinge part 15 and a hook (not shown) provided on the side of the lids 12 and 13. When the lids 12 and 13 are in the closed position, the hooks of the lids 12 and 13 engage with the catch 119 of the double-sided tray 11, and the lids 12 and 13 are held in the closed position against the spring force of the coil spring 158.

[0019] The engagement relationship between the catch 119 of the double-sided tray 11 and the hooks of the lids 12 and 13 can be eliminated by causing slight elastic deformation. For example, if the outer surfaces of the lids 12 and 13 on the side opposite to the hinge part 15 are pushed up with a fingertip, the above-described engagement relationship can be eliminated with elastic deformation. When the engagement relationship between the catch 119 of the double-sided tray 11 and the hooks of the lids 12 and 13 is eliminated, the lids 12 and 13 are displaced to the above-described open position by the spring force of the coil spring 158, and thereby the storage part 10 is opened.

[0020] In the double-sided tray 11, a flange-shaped lip 117 is formed that protrudes outward from the side wall 114 surrounding the storage section 10. The lip 117 is the surface against which the side wall 114 of the lids 12 and 13 press. In the business card holder 1, the closing position of the lids 12 and 13 is determined by the contact of the side wall 114 with the lip 117. The amount of protrusion of the lip 117 is about the same as the thickness of the side wall of the lids 12 and 13.

[0021] Next, the configuration of each part of the double-sided tray 11 that realizes the technical features of the business card holder 1 in this example will be explained with reference to Figure 4. Figure 4(a) is a view looking up at the lower surface of the double-sided tray 11, and Figure 4(b) is a view looking down at the upper surface of the double-sided tray 11. As shown in Figures 4(a) and 4(b), storage compartments 10 are formed on both sides of the bottom plate 110 of the double-sided tray 11.

[0022] The storage compartment 10 (Figure 4) is a rectangular space with a bottom plate 110 at its base and surrounded by outer side walls 114. The storage compartment 10 is a space for storing business cards 5. In this example of a business card holder 1, storage compartments 10 are provided on both sides of the double-sided tray 11, so it is possible to use it, for example, by storing one's own business cards in one storage compartment 10 and business cards received from business partners in the other.

[0023] The base plate 110 (Figure 4) is based on a rectangular shape, with four corners cut out by right-angled triangular holes, giving it a roughly rhombic shape. The two sides of the double-sided tray 11 are connected by right-angled triangular holes. In each storage section 10 on both sides, two of the four holes form push holes 112A and 112B for card removal. Push holes 112A and 112B are examples of pushable areas that allow the surface of a business card 5 stored in the storage section 10 to be pushed in the normal direction (vertical direction). Push hole 112A is located in the upper left when facing the storage section 10 with the hinge 118 facing upwards. Push hole 112B is similarly located in the lower right when facing the storage section 10.

[0024] In the double-sided tray 11, removal slits 115A and 115B are provided corresponding to the push holes 112A and 112B. The removal slits 115A and 115B are examples of missing sections where the side wall 114 is interrupted on the outer circumference of the storage section 10. Removal slit 115A is provided corresponding to the push hole 112A, and removal slit 115B is provided corresponding to the push hole 112B. Removal slit 115A is located on the opposite side of the push hole 112A, with reference to the shorter axis of symmetry M1 of the rectangular symmetry axes M1 and M2 of the business card 5 stored in the storage section 10. Removal slit 115B is located on the opposite side of the push hole 112B, with reference to the symmetry axes M1 and M2.

[0025] Furthermore, one of the four corners of the rectangular storage compartment 10 is provided with a fall prevention guide 116, which is an example of a restricting mechanism to prevent the business card 5 from lifting out of the storage compartment 10. The fall prevention guide 116 (Figure 4) is located in the lower left when the storage compartment 10 is facing directly with the hinge 118 at the top.

[0026] The fall prevention guide 116 (Figure 4) is formed to face the bottom surface of the storage compartment 10 at a distance from it. Here, the bottom surface of the storage compartment 10 refers not only to the surface of the bottom plate 110, but also to the plane to which that surface belongs. The fall prevention guide 116 extends from the upper part of the side wall 114 like an overhang covering the storage compartment 10.

[0027] The fall prevention guide 116 has a front shape resembling a right triangle with one of its vertices being the right-angle corner of the storage section 10. The fall prevention guide 116 is located on the opposite side of the removal slit 115A with respect to the axis of symmetry M1, and also on the opposite side of the removal slit 115B with respect to the longitudinal axis of symmetry M2.

[0028] In this example of the double-sided tray 11, the specifications of both sides of the base plate 110 are the same. For example, if the double-sided tray 11 is turned over so that the side visible in Figure 4(b) faces upwards, the arrangement will be exactly the same as in Figure 4(a). In other words, in this example of the double-sided tray 11, the push holes 112A and B, the retrieval slits 115A and B, and the fall prevention guide 116 are arranged in the storage sections 10 on both sides of the base plate 110 in a point-symmetrical manner with respect to the center of the base plate 110. Therefore, for example, the push hole 112A in Figure 4(b) is visible as hole 110H in Figure 4(a). When this double-sided tray 11 is incorporated into the business card holder 1, the storage sections 10 on both sides of the business card holder 1 will have the same arrangement specifications for the push holes 112A and B, the retrieval slits 115A and B, and the fall prevention guide 116.

[0029] The business card holder 1 of this example, configured as described above, can be used as shown in Figures 5 and 6. As mentioned above, the storage compartments 10 on both sides of the business card holder 1 of this example have the same specifications, so the usability is exactly the same when the storage compartments 10 are facing the user of the business card holder 1. Figure 5 shows an example of how a right-handed user typically uses it, holding the business card holder 1 with their left hand and taking out a business card 5 with their right hand. Figure 6 shows an example of how a left-handed user typically uses it, holding the business card holder 1 with their right hand and taking out a business card 5 with their left hand. Regardless of whether you are right-handed or left-handed, when using the business card holder 1, it is common to hold it with the storage compartment 10 facing you and the open lid (lid 12 in Figure 5) facing away from you, as shown in Figures 5 and 6.

[0030] In the business card holder 1 of this example, the overlapping sides of multiple business cards 5 stored in the storage compartment 10 are exposed to the retrieval slit 115A or retrieval slit 115B. For example, a right-handed user can relatively easily retrieve the frontmost business card by, for example, rubbing the overlapping side of the business cards 5 with their right index finger. On the other hand, when there are only a few business cards 5 left in the storage compartment 10, it becomes difficult to retrieve them. This is because the flange 117 protrudes outward from the business cards 5 in the storage compartment 10, making it difficult to touch the sides of the remaining business cards 5 that are lying along the bottom plate 110 with one's fingertips.

[0031] For example, a right-handed user can, as shown in Figure 5, press the part of the surface of the business card 5 in the storage compartment 10 that overlaps with the push hole 112A with their left thumb, causing the business card 5 to bend and curve, lifting the side of the business card 5 on the opposite side with respect to the axis of symmetry M1 (Figure 4). At the retrieval slit 115A located on the opposite side of the business card 5, a gap may be created between the business card 5 and the bottom plate 110, allowing the business card 5 to be quickly removed by inserting, for example, the index finger of the right hand into that gap.

[0032] Furthermore, for example, a left-handed user can, as shown in Figure 6, press the portion of the business card 5's surface in the storage compartment 10 that overlaps with the push hole 112B with their right thumb, causing the business card 5 to bend and curve, lifting the opposite side relative to the axes of symmetry M1 and M2 (Figure 4). A gap is created between the business card 5 and the bottom plate 110 at the retrieval slit 115B located on the opposite side, allowing the business card 5 to be quickly removed by inserting, for example, the index finger of the left hand into the gap.

[0033] In the business card holder 1 of this example, the anti-drop guide 116 is effective when removing business card 5 using the method described above. When the upper left of business card 5 is pressed in using the method shown in Figure 5, the anti-drop guide 116 restricts the lower left of business card 5 from lifting up. If the anti-drop guide 116 were omitted from the business card holder, and the lower left of business card 5 lifted up excessively, the lift of business card 5 in the removal slit 115A would be relatively insufficient, which could make it difficult to remove the card, for example, with the index finger of the right hand. Also, when the upper right of business card 5 is pressed in using the method shown in Figure 6, the anti-drop guide 116 restricts the lower left of business card 5 from lifting up from the storage section 10. If the anti-drop guide 116 is omitted, and the lower left corner of the business card 5 is raised excessively, the business card 5 may not be raised sufficiently in the removal slit 115B, making it difficult to remove, for example, with the index finger of the left hand.

[0034] As described above, the business card holder 1 in this example is an excellent card holder that reliably prevents business cards 5 from falling out while improving ease of removal of business cards 5.

[0035] As described above, the business card holder 1 in this example has storage compartments 10 on both sides. This business card holder 1 can be used by storing one's own stock of business cards in one storage compartment 10 and storing business cards received from others in the other storage compartment 10. In this example, the specifications of the storage compartments 10 on both sides of the business card holder 1 are the same, and the usability of the storage compartments 10 on both sides is exactly the same. For example, a right-handed user can quickly remove a business card 5 from either storage compartment 10 by pressing the upper left corner of the business card 5 with their left thumb and inserting their right index finger into the removal slit 115A, as shown in Figure 5. For example, a left-handed user can quickly remove a business card 5 from either storage compartment 10 by pressing the lower right corner of the business card 5 with their right thumb and inserting their left index finger into the removal slit 115B, as shown in Figure 6.

[0036] In this example, push holes 112A and 112B, which are holes drilled in the bottom plate 110, are shown as an example of a pushable area where the surface of the business card 5 stored in the storage compartment 10 can be pressed in. Alternatively, a pushable area consisting of a recess provided in the bottom plate 110 may be used, or a bottom plate that can bend inwards in part may be used, with that part being utilized as a pushable area.

[0037] In this example, a business card holder (item 1) is used as an example of a card holder, but it could also be a card holder for storing postcards, Christmas cards, medical cards from hospitals, credit cards, cash cards, and other similar cards.

[0038] (Example 2) This example is a configuration of business card holder 1 based on the business card holder of Example 1, which allows for the exact same usage regardless of whether the user is right-handed or left-handed. This will be explained with reference to Figures 5 to 7. Figures 7(a) and 7(b) are diagrams of both sides of the double-sided tray 11.

[0039] In the configuration of Embodiment 1, push holes, retrieval slits, and anti-drop guides are arranged in the storage compartments on both sides of the bottom plate so as to be point-symmetrical with respect to the center of the bottom plate 110. This configuration ensures that the storage compartments 10 on both sides of the business card holder 1 have exactly the same usability. In the business card holder of Embodiment 1, for example, a right-handed user can use either side of the storage compartment 10 as shown in Figure 5, and a left-handed user can use it as shown in Figure 6. In the usage shown in Figure 5, the fingertips of the right hand are inserted into the retrieval slit 115A provided on the side of the storage compartment 10, and the business card 5 is removed by lifting the side of the business card 5. On the other hand, in the usage shown in Figure 6, the fingertips of the left hand are inserted into the retrieval slit 115B provided on the top of the storage compartment 10, and the business card 5 is removed by lifting the side of the business card 5. Thus, in the business card holder of Embodiment 1, there is a difference in usability between a right-handed user and a left-handed user.

[0040] In this example, the configuration of the double-sided tray 11 (Figures 7(a) and (b)) differs from that of Embodiment 1. In the double-sided tray 11 of this example, the push holes 112, the removal slits 115, and the fall prevention guides 116 are arranged in the storage sections 10 on both sides of the base plate 110 so as to be symmetrical with respect to the base plate 110. In other words, in the double-sided tray 11 of this example, the push holes 112, the removal slits 115, and the fall prevention guides 116 on both sides are arranged so as to overlap in the direction normal to the base plate 110. For example, the hole drilled in the base plate 110 as the push hole 112C in Figure 7(b) also forms the push hole 112C in Figure 7(a) when the double-sided tray 11 is turned over. Therefore, in the configuration of this example, it is not necessary to drill holes that form the push hole 112C or the push hole 112D on both sides of the axis of symmetry M1, and in this respect it differs from the configuration of Embodiment 1.

[0041] In the double-sided tray 11 shown in Figure 7(a), the anti-drop guide 116 is located in the lower right, the removal slit 115C on the side of the storage compartment 10 is on the left, and the push hole 112C is located slightly to the right of the top of the storage compartment 10. If this double-sided tray 11 is turned over, as shown in Figure 7(b), the anti-drop guide 116 will be located in the lower left, the removal slit 115C on the side of the storage compartment 10 will be on the right, and the push hole 112C will be located slightly to the left of the top of the storage compartment 10, which is exactly the same arrangement as in the double-sided tray 11 shown in Figure 4(b).

[0042] The usage of this business card holder will be explained with reference to Figures 7(a) and (b), which show the double-sided tray 11 facing forward with the hinge 118 at the top. For example, a left-handed user should hold the business card holder so that the side shown in Figure 7(a) is facing them. By pressing the part of the surface of the business card 5 that overlaps with the upper right push hole 112C with the right thumb, the business card 5 will bend, causing the left side to lift up. The business card 5 can then be removed relatively easily by inserting a fingertip into the removal slit 115C on the left side of the storage section 10. This ease of use is the same as that described in Example 1 with reference to Figure 5, with only the left and right sides reversed.

[0043] For example, a right-handed user can turn the business card holder upside down and hold it so that the side shown in Figure 7(b) of the double-sided tray 11 is facing them. By pressing the part of the surface of the business card 5 that overlaps with the upper left push hole 112C with the left thumb, the business card 5 can be bent and the right side can be lifted up. The business card 5 can then be removed relatively easily by inserting a fingertip into the removal slit 115C on the right side of the storage section 10.

[0044] Thus, with the business card holder in this example, which includes the double-sided tray 11 shown in Figure 7, a left-handed user and a right-handed user can achieve exactly the same usability, except for the swapping of left and right sides. The other components and effects are the same as in Example 1.

[0045] (Example 3) This example is based on the configuration of Example 2, but with a modified shape for the push hole 112C. This will be explained with reference to Figure 8. Figure 8 is a front view of the double-sided tray 11, specifically the side visible in Figure 7(b) of Example 2.

[0046] In this example, the push hole 112D of the double-sided tray 11 is the same as in Example 2, but the front shape of the push hole 112C is different. The front shape of the push hole 112C is a right triangle with one of its vertices being a corner of the storage section 10, which has a rectangular front shape, similar to Example 2. However, in this example, the base of the right triangle in the push hole 112C is longer than in Example 2, and consequently, the direction of extension of the hypotenuse is closer to the vertical direction in Figure 8. This hypotenuse forms a linear boundary B1 that the push hole 112C faces on the inner circumference side of the bottom (storage section 10).

[0047] In this example, a portion L1 of the extraction slit 115C falls within the range obtained by projecting the boundary B1 of the push hole 112C in the direction normal to it V1. For the push hole 112D, which is similar to that in Example 2, a portion L2 of the extraction slit 115D originally falls within the range obtained by projecting the boundary B2 of the push hole 112D in the direction normal to it V2.

[0048] When a portion of the business card 5's surface in the storage compartment 10 is pressed, for example, over a push hole 112C, the business card 5 flexes with boundary B1 as the pivot point. The portion of the business card 5 opposite to the push hole 112C rotates around boundary B1 due to the flexing. Therefore, within the range projected from boundary B1 in the normal direction, the business card 5 lifts noticeably from the bottom plate 110. By providing a removal slit 115C that overlaps this range, it becomes even easier to remove the business card 5. The other components and effects are the same as in Example 2.

[0049] Although specific examples of the present invention have been described in detail as shown in the examples above, these examples only disclose an example of the technology covered by the claims. Needless to say, the claims should not be interpreted restrictively based on the configuration or numerical values ​​of the specific examples. The claims encompass technologies obtained by various modifications, changes, or combinations of the above examples using prior art or the knowledge of those skilled in the art.
