Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a coin purse, which has been especially designed to receive and classify different types of legal tender coins, such as, for example, the new Euro coins and its cents.
  • the object of the invention is to achieve a structurally -simple coin purse, usable as an advertising object, providing great accessibility to the coins, as well as adequate stability thereof, and all this with minimum size and foldable character, making its transport very comfortable.
  • Document FR 541 357 A discloses a coin purse with all the features cited in the preamble of claim 1.
  • coin purses made of rubber of other soft materials are also known that, because of their own nature, turn out to be more comfortable and, furthermore, permit the removal of the aforementioned springs, because their own resilient nature is usable as a retention means for coins, by slightly under-sizing the diameter of their openings with regard to the diameter of the latter.
  • coin purses based on soft materials are also known, with cylindrical seats with different diameters and all of them with their opening provided with a peripheral constriction, but these coin purses have a two-sided drawback, on one hand, they are still bulky and consequently uncomfortable, and on the other, they create problems for unitary extraction of the coins from their respective seats.
  • the coin purse proposed by the invention belonging to the last type of the aforementioned, that is, to the type constituted by means of a body of a soft nature, made of rubber, plastic, or a foam-like material, solves in a wholly satisfactory manner the drawback described above, permitting greater ease in the extraction of coins, total security or impossibility that they become accidentally dislodged from their seats, and a drastic volumetric reduction making it much more comfortable.
  • the coin purse of the invention provides, as an added advantage of great relevance due to its structuring, the ease of use and, essentially, its suitability for a user sector with such peculiar features as that of the blind.
  • the coin purse proposed by the invention has as its essential feature the fact that it incorporates a dorsal and middle line of weakness, which permits folding one of its two halves over the other, with the consequent volumetric reduction in use, since, for example, in the case that the coin purse provides for eight different coins, its front does not require anything other than the appropriate dimensions for four types of coins since one of its two halves can be folded over the other.
  • Closing means opposite to said weakness line ensure the coin purse's stable positioning in such a folded situation, by which one of the two halves thereof acts as a closing lid for the other, and vice versa, rendering the accidental dislodgment of the coins absolutely impossible.
  • the coin purse's foldable character furthermore implies another considerable advantage which is that, in the closed, folded-on-itself situation, the coins are not accessible from a friction or contact standpoint, preventing said coins from generating stains in the user's pockets or in any other place where the coin purse is carried, which provides an ample outer surface, wholly devoid of coins, that can be integrally used for advertising.
  • the coin seats will be duly distributed from one to the other of both halves of the coin purse, so that these halves are counterbalanced in size as well as in weight.
  • the coin purse-classifier proposed by the invention is constituted from an elongated and relatively flat body (1), preferably made of rubber or another resiliently deformable material, in which a marked, transversal and intermediate groove (2) is arranged determining a marked weakness zone (3) on said body, acting as a hinge, which permits folding one half (1) of its two halves over its other half (1').
  • Each of these two halves (1-1') of the body (1) is provided with a plurality of recesses or seats (4) of different sizes, according to the different types of coins to be housed in the coin purse, each one of these seats (4) having a pair of diametrically-opposed tabs (5), level with the opening, slightly constricting said opening and acting as retention stops for the coin sets housed in the inside thereof, said tabs allowing easy deformation thereof for coupling of the coins by simple pressure as well as their subsequent extraction by directly acting on their rim portion not covered by the flaps (5).
  • the disclosed structure is complemented with a lug (6) with a truncated-cone-shaped expanded head (7), placed on one of the sections of the body (1) defined by the hinge or weakness (3) in opposition to the latter, head (7) intended for penetrating by pressure in a small seat (8) of the other half (1') of the body with constricted opening, a closure being thus obtained that keeps both halves (1-1') of said body stable when one is folded over the other along the hinge (3), situation in which the dimensions of the coin purse are reduced considerably, the length specifically being reduced in half at the expense of a thickness increase, situation in which all the seats (4) are closed by the body's own folding, specifically with its openings arranged in correspondence with the imaginary middle plane thereof, situation in which neither the accidental release of the coins is possible nor the release by these of any type of residue, generated by rusting or any other cause, which could stain or damage the container receptacle of the coin purse.
