bi-fold wallet

Abstract

The objective is to provide a bifold wallet that does not have the added bulk of a clasp. [Solution] The bifold wallet 10 comprises a main body 20 for storing coins and cards, and a flap 30 that overlaps the main body 20. The main body 20 has a first card storage space 21 for storing cards and a coin storage space 22 for storing coins at its base. In addition, a second card storage space 24 for storing cards is provided above the first card storage space 21 and the coin storage space 22, while a step is formed next to this second card storage space 24. This step becomes a clasp storage space 26 for storing the clasp.

Summary of Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, providing this fastener causes the wallet to have increased thickness. In recent years, compact wallets have gained popularity, and wallets that are as thin as possible are in demand. Accordingly, the inventor of the present application has completed the present invention in order to provide a bifold wallet that does not have extra thickness caused by the fastener.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] A first invention of the present application is a bifold wallet comprising a main body portion for storing coins and / or cards, and a cover lid portion that overlaps the main body portion, wherein the main body portion is provided with a fastener storage space for storing the fastener provided on the main body portion and the cover lid portion to maintain the bifold state when the wallet is folded in two. A second invention is the bifold wallet according to the first invention, characterized in that a storage space for storing coins and / or cards is provided adjacent to the fastener storage space. The third invention is a bifold wallet according to the first or second invention, characterized in that a fastener storage space is provided on the inside of the tip of the bifold open side of the main body. The fourth invention is a bifold wallet according to any of the first to third inventions, characterized in that the fastener is one or more hooks, magnets, hook-and-loop fasteners, or a combination thereof. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] The present invention has the following effects. (1) In order to maintain the bi-fold state, the main body is equipped with a fastener storage space that can accommodate the fasteners provided on the main body and the flap, so that the fasteners can be stored within the fastener storage space, thus avoiding bulging of the wallet and providing a thin bi-fold wallet. (2) By providing a storage space for coins and / or cards next to the storage space for the fastener, it is possible to achieve both storage and a slim design while securing storage space for coins and cards and providing storage space for the fastener. (3) By providing a storage space for the fastener on the inside of the front end of the bifold side of the main body, the bifold of the wallet can be reliably maintained by the fastener. (4) Fasteners such as hooks, magnets, and hook-and-loop fasteners can be used, and there are no restrictions on the number of fasteners that can be used. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[Figure 3] Diagram (1) illustrating a second embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 4] Diagram (2) illustrating a second embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 5] An explanatory diagram illustrating a third embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 6] An explanatory diagram illustrating a fourth embodiment of the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0008] Figures 1 and 2 are explanatory diagrams illustrating a first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the bifold wallet 10 comprises a main body 20 for storing coins and cards, and a flap 30 that overlaps the main body 20. The main body 20 has a first card storage space 21 for storing cards and a coin storage space 22 for storing coins (small change) at its base. In addition, a second card storage space 24 for storing cards is provided above the first card storage space 21 and the coin storage space 22, while a step is formed next to this second card storage space 24. This stepped section then becomes a fastener storage space 26 for storing the fasteners. This design ensures ample storage space for cards and coins, while also providing space for the clasp, thus achieving both storage capacity and a compact (thin) design. Furthermore, the second card storage space 24 has a notch 25 on the opposite side of the card insertion slot, allowing the stored card to be pushed out through the notch 25 and removed.

[0009] Figures 3 and 4 are explanatory diagrams illustrating a second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the bifold wallet 10 comprises a main body 20 for storing coins and cards, and a flap 30 that overlaps the main body 20. The main body 20 has a box-shaped coin storage space 23 at its base for storing coins (small change). In addition, a card storage space 27 for storing cards is provided above a portion of the coin storage space 23, and a step is formed next to this card storage space 27. This stepped section then becomes a fastener storage space 26 for storing the fasteners. This design ensures ample storage space for cards and coins, while also providing space for the clasp, thus achieving both storage capacity and a compact (thin) design. Note that the card storage space 27 is formed with a notch 28 on the side opposite to the insertion opening for inserting a card, and the card stored therein can be pushed out through the notch 28 to take out the card.

[0010] Figure 5 is an explanatory diagram for describing the third embodiment of the present invention. As illustrated in Figure 5, one snap fastener (right diagram) and two snap fasteners (left diagram) are respectively illustrated. By providing the fastener storage space 26 in this manner, even if easily detachable snap fasteners are used as the fasteners, bulging of the wallet can be avoided, and any number of snap fasteners can be used without imposing restrictions on the number of snap fasteners used. Although snap fasteners are used as the fasteners here, the present invention is not limited to this, and known fasteners such as magnets and hook-and-loop fasteners can also be used.

[0011] Figure 6 is an explanatory diagram for describing the fourth embodiment of the present invention. As illustrated in Figure 6, when the bifold wallet 10 is in a closed state, there are no stitches on the outer side surface (no stitches appear on the outer side surface). The absence of stitches on the outer side surface makes the wallet simple and stylish, and at the same time, even if the bifold wallet 10 is placed in a pants pocket and used heavily, there is no risk of thread breakage, so it can be said to be a high-strength wallet. [Industrial Applicability]

[0012] The present invention can be widely applied to bifold wallets for storing coins, cards and the like. [Description of Reference Signs]
