Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a business card holder aid suitable for use in smoothly removing business cards one by one from a business card holder, and more particularly to a business card holder aid that is detachably attached to a business card holder. [Background technology]

[0002] When a business card holder contains close to or more than its intended capacity, friction between the cards and between the card holder and the cards can cause multiple cards to be pulled out one by one, even when trying to remove them one by one. Dry fingertips, in particular, can make it difficult to remove cards one by one because the printed surface is slippery, and forcibly removing cards can result in damage. This difficulty generally resolves as the number of cards stored decreases, but when exchanging cards, people may insert the cards they receive into their own card holder for temporary storage, or they may temporarily insert other cards or papers into the holder for storage, so the difficulty does not necessarily gradually ease as more cards are distributed.

[0003] In recent years, from the perspectives of recycling and design, business cards come in a variety of materials and thicknesses, including those made of washi paper and synthetic resins (PP, PET, PVC), and some cards have a high coefficient of friction between the sheets, or are made of materials that require delicate handling as they are prone to creases and tears. For this reason, it would be convenient to have a suitable card holder removal aid that can be used to smoothly remove business cards one by one from a card holder.

[0004] Incidentally, business card holders are not limited to hard types made of metal or cardboard, in which the thickness of the holder that holds the business cards remains constant, but also include leather types (see Figure 1) in which the gusset is accordion-shaped and can be adjusted within a certain range in the thickness direction of the holder.However, when a large number of business cards are placed in the latter type of business card holder, the thickness of the holder expands due to the thickness of the stack of cards, and the inner surface of the holder presses against the printed surfaces (front and back) of the business cards, increasing friction and making it difficult to remove individual business cards.In addition, as the business card holder deteriorates over time, the opening of the holder may become warped and narrow, making it difficult to insert and remove business cards smoothly. In the former type of business card holder, the thickness of the holder does not change, so the inner surface of the holder does not press against the stack of business cards and friction between the cards is unlikely to occur. However, when tilting the holder downward to remove the business cards, there is a risk that the cards will slide out in a stack from the opening of the holder and fall, which requires careful handling each time the cards are removed, which can be inconvenient.

[0005] BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, a business card holder structure that allows business cards to be pulled out one by one is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0006] There is also a known configuration of a business card holder auxiliary that allows business cards to be taken out one by one without modifying the business card holder (see, for example, Patent Document 2). This is a case (auxiliary tool) with a step structure that is always located at the back of the holder, creating a stair-like step in the stack of business cards stored therein. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0007] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3226068 [Patent Document 2] Patent No. 5004056 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0008] In the configuration described in Patent Document 1, slots or other holes are drilled in advance on the wide side of the business card holder, and a high-friction drawer plate is inserted into the holder. When removing a business card, the drawer plate, visible through the slot, slides toward the opening. However, this type of business card holder has the following problems: first, the process of drilling the slots in the holder is time-consuming, significantly compromising the design and strength of the holder; second, because the friction of the drawer plate causes business cards to stick together and be removed (see paragraph

[0008] of the same document), there is a high risk of abrasion or damage to the printed surfaces of the business cards. Third, as mentioned above, because friction also occurs between business cards, even if a user inserts their fingertip into the slot and pulls out the drawer plate, it is not guaranteed that only one business card will be removed; multiple cards may be removed overlapping each other. Fourth, even if cards can be removed one by one, the number of cards that can be removed using the drawer plate is limited to one at a time, which requires the drawer plate to be set inside the holder each time, which is cumbersome and not suitable for situations where multiple people are using multiple business cards to exchange business cards.

[0009] The assisting device described in Patent Document 2 has the following problems: First, because the step-forming member is permanently placed at the back of the card holder's housing, the edges of business cards always protrude from the opening of the housing, making it impossible to close the lid of the card holder. Second, because the step-forming member is placed at the back of the case body, which has an upper panel and a lower panel, the thickness of the case is fixed, which can lead to problems such as the business cards sliding out of the opening of the housing in a stack and falling when, for example, tilting the card holder downward to remove business cards. Third, there are problems such as the labor required to fabricate the step-forming member by cutting a high-strength threaded rod, and the weight of the card holder being increased.

[0010] As mentioned above, various business card holders or business card holder aids have been developed to allow business cards stored in a business card holder to be smoothly removed one by one, but there are few business card holder aids that are functional and practical. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] To provide a functional and practical business card holder aid that allows business cards stored in a business card holder to be smoothly taken out one by one and allows business cards to be exchanged smoothly, in view of the above-mentioned problems.

[0013] Furthermore, it is preferable that the angle formed between the flat plate and the first inclined piece is an acute angle.

[0014] It is also preferable that the business card holding member has a second inclined piece that is connected to the edge of the first inclined piece arranged on the surface side of the container via a fold and whose tip abuts against the inner surface of the surface of the container.

[0015] Furthermore, at least The drawer member Outer surface (the surface that contacts the front cover) It is preferable to provide an anti-slip member on the [Effects of the Invention]

[0016] According to the present invention, business cards stored in a business card holder can be smoothly taken out one by one, and business card exchange can be smoothly carried out, which is functional and practical. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0018] A business card holder aid according to a first aspect of the present invention has a business card holding member and a drawer member, and is attached to the business card holder by placing the business card holding member inside the holder and the drawer member on the inner surface of the front cover, and then storing a stack of business cards in the holder. A business card holder to which the business card holder aid of the first aspect of the present invention is applicable comprises a box-shaped holder having an opening for business cards and capable of storing a plurality of business cards, and a front cover swingably connected to the rear of the holder and positioned so as to cover the front of the holder and the opening for closing the opening. Below, we will briefly explain the configuration of a business card holder to which an aspect of the business card holder aid according to the present invention is applicable, based on the drawings, and then specifically explain the aspect of the business card holder aid according to the present invention.

[0019] Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing a business card holder assisting tool according to a first embodiment of the present invention attached to a business card holder (without a pocket). More specifically, it is a perspective view showing a business card holder assisting tool 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention attached to a business card holder (without a pocket) 9, showing the state before a stack of business cards is stored in the business card holder. In the case of a business card holder having a pocket on the inside of a front cover body 93 as shown in Fig. 5, it is recommended to store a drawer member 3 inside the pocket when using the card holder, as will be described later.

[0020] <Business card holder> The business card holder 9 is a commonly used type of business card holder that includes a holder body 91 and a front cover body 93.

[0021] The holder 91 is a box-shaped portion with an opening / closing section 92, and is composed of a front section 911 and a back section 912 that are arranged to sandwich the printed side of a business card C, side sections 913 and 914 that form the thickness (gusset section) of the business card holder, and a bottom section 915. The side opposite the bottom section 915 forms the opening / closing section 92. The side sections 913 and 914 and the bottom section 915 that form the gusset section are accordion-shaped and made of leather, allowing for a certain range of adjustment in the thickness direction of the business card holder. As shown in FIG. 1 , when a large number of business cards are placed inside the holder, the thickness of the holder increases due to the thickness of the stack of cards, while the inner surface of the holder presses against the printed sides (front and back) of the business cards, increasing friction and making it difficult to remove individual business cards. The business card holder aid 1 is suitable for use in such a business card holder.

[0022] Front lid 93 is swingably connected to rear surface 912 of housing 91, and is a cover member that closes entrance / exit portion 92 by being placed over front surface 911 and entrance / exit portion 92 of housing 91, as shown in Figure 5. There are several types of lid that open and close the entrance / exit portion of the business card holder housing, but business card holder auxiliary tool 1 is suitable for use with a business card holder that has a front lid that is large enough to cover most of front surface 911 (in other words, the size of a business card).

[0023] <Business card holder aid (first embodiment)> Figure 2 is a perspective view showing the overall configuration of the business card holder aid of the first embodiment. As shown in Figure 2, business card holder aid 1 has a plastic business card holding member 2 placed inside housing 91, and a cloth drawer member 3 placed along the inner surface of front cover 93. Business card holding member 2 and drawer member 3 are connected together by any method such as adhesive bonding, welding, or sewing.

[0024] <Business card holder> The business card holder 2 of the first embodiment includes a flat plate 21 and a first inclined piece 22. A drawer member 3 is connected to one widthwise edge of the flat plate 21. When placed inside the holder 91, the flat plate 21 makes surface contact with the rear surface 912 of the holder 91. The first inclined piece 22 is connected to the edge of the flat plate 21 located at the rear of the holder 91 via a first fold 23 and extends toward the front surface 911 of the holder 91. The flat plate 21 and the first inclined piece 22 can be fabricated, for example, by scoring a plastic plate and bending it. The angle θ1 between the flat plate 21 and the first inclined piece 22 is an acute angle and is variable within the acute angle range. In other words, the first inclined piece 22 is not fixed to the flat plate 21 and can be changed within the acute angle range, starting from the first fold 23. The width dimension W1 of the business card holder 2 is set to an extent that allows it to be placed inside the container 91 from the entrance / exit section 92 (for example, approximately the same as the width of a business card), and the dimension L1 in the longitudinal direction (the direction in which the business card is pulled out) of the flat plate 21 is set to an extent that allows it to be placed inside the container 91 (slightly smaller than the rear section 912). The business card holder is made of a plastic plate, which is easy to process, thin and not bulky, and has rigidity and slipperiness that makes it easy to remove the card.

[0025] <Drawer parts> The drawer member 3 is made of a fabric, preferably a low-stretch fabric, so that the business card holder member 2 can be pulled out of the container 3 without stretching when the front cover 93 is opened. The connecting portion side 3a of the drawer member 3 is curved (see FIG. 2), and is placed in the curved portion of the front cover 93 (the portion that curves when opening and closing). The width dimension W2 of the drawer member 3 is approximately the same as W1 in the illustrated example, and the longitudinal dimension L2 is set to a size that fits inside the front cover 93 (for example, about 2 / 3 the size). Because the drawer member is made of fabric, it is thin and not bulky, flexible and pleasant to the touch, and allows for easy removal of the business card holder and business cards.

[0026] <How to use> FIG. 3 is a partial cross-sectional side view showing the business card holder aid shown in FIG. 1 in use (a view for explaining an example of using the business card holder aid of the first embodiment). More specifically, it is a partial cross-sectional side view showing the business card holder aid 1 in use, and is also a view for explaining an example of using the first embodiment in particular. When using the business card holder aid 1, first, as a preliminary step, the business card holder member 2 is placed inside the case 91 so that the flat plate 21 is in surface contact with the rear surface 912, and the drawer member 3 is placed along the inner surface of the front cover 93 (see FIG. 1). Then, a stack of business cards is inserted so that they are sandwiched between the front surface 911 of the case 91 and the flat plate 21.

[0027] When removing business cards from the business card case, the front cover 93 is opened by pinching the front cover 93 and the drawer member 3 with the fingers to prevent the drawer member 3 from sliding. The flat plate 21 of the business card holder 2 moves in the direction of removal from the container 91. As a result, the first inclined piece 22 pushes the business cards out, causing the edges of each card to protrude in a stepped manner from the opening / closing portion 92 (see FIG. 3). That is, with a single operation of opening the cover, the edges of the business cards protrude in a stepped manner from the opening / closing portion 92. In particular, because the angle between the flat plate 21 and the first inclined piece 22 is acute, the edges of cards closer to the front protrude more from the opening / closing portion 92 (see FIG. 3), making it easier to remove business cards one by one from the front side 911. The first inclined piece 22 is made of plastic, a material that is difficult to bend except at the first fold 23, making it easy to remove the stack of business cards in a stepped manner. On the other hand, since the drawer member 3 is made of cloth, it does not deform when the front cover 93 is opened or closed, and there is no risk of damaging the business card holder.

[0028] The usefulness of business card holder assisting tool 1 is clear when compared with the prior art. First, it does not require processing such as drilling slots in the business card holder, thereby preserving the design and strength of the card holder. Second, the stack of business cards is removed by pushing out the side of the business card (not the printed side) with first inclined piece 22, eliminating the risk of wearing or damaging the printed side of the business card. Third, the stack of business cards is configured to protrude in a stepped manner from the opening / exit, making it easy to remove business cards one by one. Fourth, it is not necessary to set the drawer plate inside the holder each time a business card is removed, and business cards can be removed one by one consecutively, making it ideal for use in situations where multiple people exchange business cards. Fifth, as mentioned above, regarding the problem of setup, the stack of business cards is inserted after business card holder assisting tool 1 is inserted into holder 91, making advance preparation easy. Sixth, because the drawer member is made of cloth, it does not interfere with opening and closing the lid of the card holder. It is flexible and deformable, eliminating the problem of the lid being unable to be closed. Furthermore, there is no need to attach a handle or the like and grip the handle to pull out business cards as a separate operation from opening and closing the lid. Seventh, because a step structure is not permanently installed at the back of the card holder's housing, the edges of business cards do not always protrude from the opening of the housing, eliminating the problem of the lid being unable to be closed. That is, according to this embodiment, the stack of business cards is pulled out by sliding it over the rear surface portion 912. When closing the front lid 93, if the stack of business cards is pushed toward the back of the housing 91, the first inclined piece 22 moves in the direction in which θ1 increases. This prevents the stack of business cards from protruding from the opening / closing portion 92, allowing the front lid 93 to be closed. Eighth, instead of a configuration in which a step structure is placed at the back of the case body which has an upper panel and a lower panel, the angle θ1 between the flat plate 21 and the first inclined piece 22 is variable, there is no part corresponding to the upper panel, and the thickness of the container 91 is not fixed, so the contraction force of the original gusset part of the business card holder 9 presses the stack of business cards in the direction of being clamped, which makes it less likely that the business cards will slide out in a stack from the opening of the container and fall out.Ninth, the business card holder auxiliary tool 1 is made from lightweight and easily processed materials such as plastic sheet and cloth, so it can be produced inexpensively and its weight can be kept down.

[0029] The business card holder aid of the first embodiment of the present invention provides a functional and practical business card holder aid. Specifically, when opening the front cover, the front cover and the drawer member are pinched together with the fingertips to open the front cover, causing the flat plate of the business card holder member to move in the direction of drawing the business card out of the container. As a result, the first inclined piece pushes out the business cards, causing the edges of each card to protrude in a stepped manner from the opening. In other words, with a single operation of opening the front cover, the edges of the business cards protrude in a stepped manner from the opening, allowing the business cards stored in the business card holder to be smoothly removed one by one, facilitating the exchange of business cards. Because the aid is a portable device that can be easily attached and detached from the business card holder, it can be removed when not needed. Furthermore, as will be described later, the aid solves all of the problems described in the prior art, making it a functional and practical business card holder aid.

[0030] <Business Card Holder Aid (Second Embodiment)> Next, the configuration and usage of the business card holder aid 1' of the second embodiment will be described. Note that common members and parts to the business card holder aid 1 of the first embodiment will be assigned the same reference numerals and descriptions thereof will be simplified or omitted.

[0031] FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the overall configuration of a business card holder auxiliary device according to a second embodiment of the present invention. In the business card holder auxiliary device 1′ of the second embodiment of the present invention, a business card holder member 2′ is connected to the edge of a first inclined piece 22 located on the front side of the holder 91 via a second fold 25, and includes a second inclined piece 24 whose tip abuts the inner surface of the front side of the holder 91. The flat plate 21 and the first and second inclined pieces 22, 24 can be fabricated, for example, by scoring two fold lines in a single plastic sheet and bending the sheet in a predetermined direction at each fold 23, 25. The angle θ2 between the first inclined piece 22 and the second inclined piece 24 is variable. When placed in the holder 91, the second inclined piece 24 is set to a length that abuts the inner surface of the front side of the holder 91; in other words, the length from the tip of the second inclined piece 24 to the first fold 23 is set to be wider than the internal thickness of the holder 91. The business card holder 2' has the same configuration as the business card holder 2 in other respects.

[0032] FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a business card holder assisting device according to the second embodiment attached to a business card holder (with pocket). Note that for the business card holder (with pocket) 9p, components and parts common to those in the business card holder (without pocket) 9 shown in FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals, and descriptions thereof will be simplified or omitted. As shown in FIG. 5, if the front cover 93 of the business card holder 9p has a pocket 94 on the inner surface, the drawer member 3 may be disposed inside the pocket 94. This allows the business card holder to be opened by pinching the front cover 93 with the fingers from both sides, as in the usual way, and then pulling out the business card holder member 2' to allow the stack of business cards to protrude from the opening / closing portion. This action is similar to the normal opening and closing operation of a business card holder, allowing business cards to be removed one by one in a natural manner. Furthermore, when the front cover 93 is open, most of the drawer member 3 is housed in the pocket 94 and is therefore inconspicuous.

[0033] The function of the second inclined piece 24 will now be described. Fig. 6 is a cross-sectional side view of the business card holder shown in Fig. 5 with the front cover closed (a view for explaining an example of use of the business card holder aid of the second embodiment). More specifically, it is a cross-sectional side view of the business card holder with the front cover 93 closed, and is also a view for explaining an example of use of the second embodiment in particular.

[0034] FIG. 7 is a partial cross-sectional view from the side of the front cover of the business card holder shown in FIG. 6 when it is open. Specifically, it is a partial cross-sectional view from the side of the front cover 93 of the business card holder 9p when it is open. When the front cover 93 is opened, a stack of business cards can be pulled out while sandwiched between the second inclined piece 24 and the flat plate 21, allowing for more reliable card removal than in the first invention. Furthermore, since the first inclined piece 22 is inclined from the tip of the second inclined piece 24 abutting the inner surface of the holder surface, the edge of the business card on the rear side of the holder protrudes further from the opening 92 (compare FIGS. 3 and 7), making it even easier to remove the business cards. The angle of each inclined piece 22, 24 can be flexibly changed from the folds 23, 25 as base points, allowing it to be used with various business card holders with different thicknesses (number of cards that can be stored).

[0035] According to the business card holder aid of the second embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the effects achieved by the business card holder aid of the first embodiment described above, the angle formed by the second inclined portion and the first inclined portion is acute, so that the business cards closer to the rear side of the stack of business cards pushed out by the inclined surface of the first inclined portion have their edges protruding from the entrance / exit portion, making it easier to remove the business cards one by one from the rear side.

[0036] Furthermore, according to the business card holder aid of the second embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the effects achieved by the business card holder aid of the first embodiment described above, when the front cover and the drawer member are opened by pinching them with the fingertips, the stack of business cards can be pulled out while being sandwiched between the second inclined piece and the flat plate, making it possible to pull out the stack of business cards more reliably than the business card holder aid of the first embodiment. Furthermore, since the first inclined piece is inclined from the tip of the second inclined piece abutting the inner surface of the housing surface as a base point, the edges of each business card protrude further from the opening, making it even easier to remove the business cards. The angle of each inclined piece can be flexibly changed from the fold as a base point, making it possible to use it with various business card holders of different thicknesses (number of cards that can be stored).

[0037] <Modification (Second Embodiment)> Next, as a modification of the second embodiment, a business card holder auxiliary tool 1" in which non-slip members 51 and 52 are provided on the drawer member 3 will be described. FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing a modification of the business card holder auxiliary tool of the second embodiment. Non-slip members 51 and 52 of desired sizes are attached to both sides of the drawer member 3. Non-slip member 51 (the side that contacts the front cover) is attached to the outer surface of the drawer member 3, near the middle of the drawer member 3, in order to increase the frictional force with the front cover 93 (Use Example 1 described below), and non-slip member 52 is attached to the inner surface of the drawer member 3, near the tip of the drawer member 3, in order to increase the frictional force with the business card C (Use Example 2 described below). Non-slip members 51 and 52 can generally be selected from any material with a high coefficient of friction.

[0038] 9 is a partial cross-sectional side view of a modified version of the business card holder aid shown in FIG. 8 (a view for explaining use example 1 of the modified version of the business card holder aid of the second embodiment). More specifically, it is a partial cross-sectional side view of the modified version attached to business card holder 9, and is also a view for explaining use example 1 in particular. Non-slip member 51 is provided on the outer surface of drawer member 3 (the surface that contacts front cover body 93), making it difficult for drawer member 3 to slip relative to front cover body 93. As shown in FIG. 9, when opening front cover body 93, a stack of business cards can be more reliably drawn out without having to pinch front cover body 93 and drawer member 3 tightly with one's fingertips.

[0039] FIG. 10 is a partial cross-sectional side view showing the business card holder aid shown in FIG. 8 in use (a view for explaining a second use example of a modified version of the business card holder aid of the second embodiment). More specifically, it is a partial cross-sectional side view showing the modified version attached to business card holder 9, and is also a view for explaining a second use example in particular. FIG. 11 is a partial cross-sectional side view showing a state in which a business card has been pulled out from the business card holder shown in FIG. 10. More specifically, it is a partial cross-sectional side view showing a state in which a business card has been pulled out from business card holder 9. Non-slip member 52 is provided on the inner surface of drawer member 3, and when a business card protruding from opening portion 92 is to be pulled out, drawer member 3 is bent in the opposite direction to when front cover 93 is opened, so that non-slip member 52 comes into contact with the protruding portion of the business card at the forefront (see FIG. 10), and the business card can be pulled out by the frictional force (see FIG. 11).

[0040] According to the business card holder aid of the modified second embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the effects achieved by the business card holder aids of the first and second embodiments described above, since the anti-slip member is provided on the outer surface of the drawer member (the surface that contacts the front cover), the drawer member does not slide easily relative to the front cover, so there is no need to pinch the front cover and the drawer member tightly with your fingertips when opening the front cover. Also, since the anti-slip member is provided on the inner surface of the drawer member, when pulling out a business card protruding from the opening, the drawer member is bent in the opposite direction to when the front cover is opened, so that the anti-slip member comes into contact with the business card, and the resulting frictional force allows the business card to be pulled out.

[0041] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the spirit of the invention. For example, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated business card holder in which business cards are arranged horizontally, but can also be applied to a so-called vertical business card holder.

[0042] The business card holder aid of the present invention can be used to smoothly remove business cards stored in a business card holder one by one, but can also be used as a tool to remove cards and other papers other than business cards from a card case having the same shape as a business card holder.
