Description

  The present invention relates to a card case.

  At present, many people carry various cards such as credit cards, bank cash cards, point cards, membership cards, medical examination tickets and the like in wallets and carry them around. In some of these cards, necessary information is recorded by printing or handwriting. In recent years, various member authentication processes have been digitized. With many possible media being issued, this type of cards is on the rise. For this reason, more than ten cards are carried around, and many people have the experience of searching for a necessary card from a large number of cards and taking time at a cash register of a store, a reception counter, or the like.

  Also, a card case that can be folded when being carried and has a large opening when opened when the card is taken out is commercially available. With this type of card case, it is easy to find the necessary card from a large number of cards. However, in the case of this type of card case, the stored card may spill out of the large opening by carelessness.

  Under such circumstances, for example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, a card case body having a long wallet type outer shape made of a material in which a substantially rectangular front portion, a back portion, and a folded portion are integrated, The card case body includes a plurality of diamond-shaped storage bodies attached in a fan shape with the bent portions on the inside of the front part and the back part at the bottom, and the diamond-shaped storage bodies are formed by stacking a plurality of rectangular bag-shaped containers, The rectangular bag-shaped container has two storage bags, and a plurality of rectangular bag-shaped containers in which adjacent rectangular bag-shaped containers are bonded at one-fourth from each end of the long side. Has been proposed. In this card case, the rectangular bag-shaped card receiving portion is also connected by connecting the vicinity of the middle of the rectangular bag-shaped opening long side to the vicinity of the middle of another rectangular bag-shaped opening long side when the card case is opened. It is devised to open together.

  By using the card cases described in Patent Literature 1 and Patent Literature 2, it is easy to search for a target card, and it is possible to prevent the card from falling out of the opening. However, the card cases described in Patent Literature 1 and Patent Literature 2 require a lot of time and effort to manufacture, such as joining bags that serve as card storage units. Further, each time the card case is opened, a tensile force for opening the bag is applied to the joint between the bags, and there is a problem that the joint is easily damaged.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a card case that makes it easy to find a target card, suppresses inadvertent falling off of the card, and is easy to manufacture. .

  As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the present inventor has a base member that can be opened and closed by a bendable bendable portion, and the base member is folded to be in a closed state, and the base member is closed. A card case that is opened by releasing a base member from bending, and is a band-shaped member including one or more mountain folds and one or more valley folds. A pair of band members provided with a cut portion that does not lead to cutting of the entire band is formed in a flat portion formed between the end portion and the mountain-fold portion or the valley-fold portion. The notch of one of the band members is opposite to the valley of the other band member so that the valley of the other band member faces the mountain fold of the other band member. By being inserted into the notch, they are combined with each other, and between the mountain fold of one band member and the valley fold of the other band member, or one of the band members. A part of the space below the space formed between the valley folded portion of the member and the mountain folded portion of the other band member is closed, so that a bellows container having a card housing portion formed of this space is formed. For each of the above-mentioned band members, both ends thereof are joined side by side while sandwiching the bent portion along one of the sides of the base member along the lateral direction, so that the bellows container is The present inventors have found that the above-mentioned problems can be solved by providing a card case having a configuration in which the card case is coupled to the base member so as to cross the bent portion, and have completed the present invention.

  In the card case of the present invention, the parts that need to be joined in the bellows container serving as the card housing are basically between the bellows container and the base member constituting the card case main body, and the bellows container. Since only the bottom portion of the card accommodating portion is included, not only the manufacturing is easy, but also the joint between the bags is not damaged unlike the card cases described in Patent Documents 1 and 2. Further, even if the card case is damaged in any way, it is easy to repair because it has a simple structure with few constituent members. Further, as described above, in the card case of the present invention, both ends of the two band members forming the bellows container are bent along one of the sides of the base member along the lateral direction. When the card case is opened, the bellows container rises like a so-called "popping picture book", and the card storage portion is greatly opened and the length of the stored card is opened. The pressing force from the two band members is applied in the vertical direction, and the falling off of the card is suppressed. The card case of the present invention has the above features. Specifically, the present invention provides the following.

  The present invention is a card case including a base member which can be opened and closed by a bendable bending portion, wherein the base member is folded to be in a closed state, and the base member is bent and released to be in an open state. A belt-shaped member having one or more mountain folds and one or more valley folds, between the mountain fold and the valley fold or between the end and the mountain fold or the valley fold. A pair of band members provided with cut portions that do not lead to cutting of the entire band in the formed flat portion, the mountain fold portion of one band member faces the valley fold portion of the other band member, The notches of one of the band members are inserted into the notches of the other band member so that the valley fold portions of the band members face the mountain fold portions of the other band member, and the one band member engages with the other band member. Between the mountain fold of the member and the valley of the other band, or between the valley of one band and the mountain of the other band By closing a part of the lower part between the bellows, a bellows container having a card housing part formed of this space is formed, and a direction along the bent portion is called a vertical direction, and is orthogonal to the vertical direction. When the direction is referred to as a lateral direction, both ends of each of the two band members are joined side by side while sandwiching the bent portion along one of the sides of the base member along the lateral direction. Thus, the card case is characterized in that the bellows container is connected to the base member so as to cross the bent portion.

  In the present invention, when the base member is in an open state in which the base member is completely extended, it is preferable that a longitudinally inner dimension of the accommodation portion is smaller by 1 to 3 mm than a lengthwise dimension of the accommodation object.

  In the present invention, it is preferable that an outer member be provided on the back side of the base member so that bills can be stored between the base member and the outer member.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the card case 1 is configured by combining a bellows container 2, a base member 3, and an outer member 4. Here, in this specification, the surface of the outer member 4 on which the bellows container 2 is provided is called the inside, and the other surface is called the outside. When the inner surface of the outer member 4 is turned to the front side, the end provided with the convex fastener 51 is called the right side, and the end side of the outer member 4 opposed thereto is called the left side. Further, the left-right direction is referred to as a horizontal direction, and a direction orthogonal to the horizontal direction (also a direction along the bent portion 31) is referred to as a vertical direction. The card case 1 is bendable at a bent portion 31 (see FIG. 7) and a right end of the base member 3, and is bent inward at these portions, as shown in FIG. It is closed. That is, the base member 3 is bent inward by the bent portion 31 in the closed state. In the closed state, the closed state is maintained by the fastener 5 formed by engaging the convex fastener 51 provided at the right end of the outer member 4 with the concave fastener 52 provided outside the outer member 4. You. In the closed state, the bellows container 2 is folded together with the base member 3 and housed between the base members 3 in the folded state. When the engagement between the convex fastener 51 and the concave fastener 52 of the fastener 5 is released and the outer member 4 is opened, the outer member 4 is opened. In the open state, the base member 3 is released from being bent and is folded. The bellows container 2 stands up in the manner of a so-called “popping picture book”.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, three lozenge-shaped card accommodating portions 23 are opened in the bellows accommodating body 2 that has risen. The diamond-shaped card accommodating portion 23 is formed by two band members 21 and 22 that are folded in a mountain or a valley, and each card accommodating portion 23 can accommodate a plurality of cards 6. In the card accommodating portion 23, the card case 1 is opened and a tension in the left-right direction is applied to the two band members 21 and 22 so that the two band members 21 and 22 forming the card accommodating portion 23 are formed. A force F directed toward the center in the width direction is applied from the mountain fold portion and the valley fold portion to press the card 6 in which the two band members 21 and 22 are stored. Thereby, the fall of the accommodated card 6 is suppressed. When the card 6 is inserted into or removed from the diamond-shaped card accommodating portion 23, the force F may be reduced by adjusting the degree of opening of the card case 1, that is, the tension applied to the band members 21 and 22.

  A card accommodating portion 24 is formed between the base member 3 and the bellows accommodating body 2 existing near the left and right ends of the base member 3, and the card 6 can be accommodated therein. The outer member 4 and the base member 3 are joined to each other at the left end and the lower end of the base member 3, and the right end and the upper end of the base member 3 are free. I have. For this reason, a bill accommodating portion 8 is formed between the outer member 4 and the base member 3, and a long object such as a bill 7 can be accommodated therein.

  The card case 1 is made of leather. That is, all of the bellows container 2, the base member 3, and the external member 4 are leather. Therefore, the means for joining these members is primarily suture.

  Next, the structure of the bellows housing 2 forming the card housings 23 and 24 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the bellows container 2 is configured by combining a pair of band members including a first band member 21 and a second band member 22. Each band member includes one or more mountain folds and one or more valley folds. That is, the first band member 21 has the mountain fold 211, the valley fold 212, and the mountain fold 211 formed in order from the left end 214A to the right end 214B, and the second band 22 has the left end 224A. The valley fold 222, the mountain fold 221 and the valley fold 222 are formed in this order from the right side to the right end 224B. In this specification, when FIG. 4 is placed in front of the observer and the user squints it, a fold that protrudes toward the observer is called a “mountain fold”, and a fold that goes away from the observer is called a “valley”. "Fold".

  Each band member is provided with a cut portion that does not lead to cutting of the entire band in a flat portion formed between the mountain fold portion and the valley fold portion or between the end portion and the mountain fold portion or the valley fold portion. That is, the first band member 21 is arranged in the order from the left end portion 214A side below the substantially middle portion in the length direction of the flat portion 215 formed between the left end portion 214A and the mountain-folded portion 211. A cut portion 213 having a length of about half of the width in the width direction of the member 21 and a lower portion of a substantially middle portion in the length direction of the flat portion 217 formed between the mountain fold portion 211 and the valley fold portion 212 are provided below. A cut portion 213 having a length of about half of the width of the first band member 21 and a substantially middle portion in the length direction of the flat portion 217 formed between the valley fold portion 212 and the mountain fold portion 211 are provided. On the side, a notch 213 having a length of about half the width in the width direction of the first band member 21 and a substantially middle portion in the length direction of the flat portion 216 formed between the mountain-folded portion 211 and the right end portion 214B. A cut portion 213 having a length of about half the width of the first band member 21 in the width direction is provided below the portion. In addition, the second band member 22 is arranged, in order from the left end 224A side, on the upper side of the substantially middle portion in the length direction of the flat portion 225 formed between the left end 224A and the valley folded portion 222. A cut portion 223 having a length of about half the width in the width direction of the member 22 and a flat portion 227 formed between the valley fold portion 222 and the mountain fold portion 221 are provided above a substantially middle portion in the length direction. The cut portion 223 having a length approximately half the width in the width direction of the dual band member 22 and the flat portion 227 formed between the mountain-folded portion 221 and the valley-folded portion 222 are positioned above a substantially middle portion in the length direction. A cut portion 223 having a length approximately half the width of the second band member 22, and a substantially middle portion in the length direction of the flat portion 226 formed between the valley bent portion 222 and the right end portion 224B. And a notch 223 having a length of about half the width of the second band member 22 in the width direction. As shown in FIG. 4, the M-shaped second band member 22 is the same as the first band member 21 if it is turned upside down to form a W-shape. Therefore, if two band members having the same shape are prepared, one of them can be used as the first band member 21 and the other can be used as the second band member 22.

  The four cut portions 213, 213, 213, and 213 of the first band member 21 are engaged with each other by being inserted into the four cut portions 223, 223, 223, and 223 of the second band member 22. At this time, as shown in FIG. 4, the two mountain folds 211, 211 of the first band member 21 are opposed to the two valley folds 222, 222 of the second band member 22, respectively. The valley fold 212 is opposed to the mountain fold 221 of the second band member 22. Thereby, three spaces partitioned by the first band member 21 and the second band member 22 are formed between the facing mountain fold portion and the valley fold portion. These three spaces will later become the card storage units 23, respectively. Note that these three spaces have a rhombus shape in plan view, and the long sides of the card 6 are accommodated in the vertical diagonal lines of the rhombus. Therefore, the length of each band member, the positions of the mountain folds and the valley folds, and the positions of the cut lines are determined in consideration of the size of the long side of the card 6 to be accommodated. In addition, when the card case 1 is fully opened, it is preferable to determine each dimension so that the vertical diagonal dimension of the card accommodating portion 23 is smaller by about 1 to 3 mm than the dimension of the long side of the card 6. . As a result, when the card case 1 is fully opened, a sufficient card is held in the card accommodating portion 23.

  When the first band member 21 and the second band member 22 are combined as described above, the flat portion 216 on the right end portion 214B side of the first band member 21 is moved by the second band member 22 to the right end portion 214B side. From the first end plane 2161 and the second end plane 2162. Similarly, the flat portion 215 on the left end portion 214A side of the first band member 21 is divided by the second band member 22 into a first end portion flat surface 2151 and a second end portion flat surface 2152 in order from the left end portion 214A side. The flat portion 226 on the right end portion 224B side of the second band member 22 is divided by the first band member 21 into a first end portion flat surface 2261 and a second end portion flat surface 2262. The flat part 225 on the part 224A side is divided by the first band member 21 into a first end part plane 2251 and a second end part plane 2252.

  As already described, between the mountain-folded portion 211 of the first band member 21 and the valley-folded portion 222 of the second band member 22, or the valley-folded portion 212 of the first band member 21 and the mountain-folded portion of the second band member 22. 221, a space is formed by the mountain fold and the valley fold facing each other. By closing the lower part of the space, the card 6 is prevented from dropping from the bottom of the space when the card 6 is inserted into the space. Specifically, in any one of the pair of band members, that is, the first band member 21 in the present embodiment, the bottom sides 218 and 218 of the formed space are closed by sewing. As shown, it is a closure 219. There are a total of three spaces formed by the first band member 21 and the second band member 22, and among the four bases of one space, the closed bases are all provided by the first band member 21. The bottom sides 218, 218 of the set. The closure may be performed on the entire bottom sides 218, 218, or may be performed on a part of the end side. When a part on the end side is closed, only the end is closed and the remaining part is free, as in a closed part 219 in the center space in FIG. By forming the closed portions 219 in the respective spaces, each of the three spaces will later become three card storage portions 23, 23, 23.

  As described above, the first band member 21 and the second band member 22 are combined, and the lower part of the space where the valley fold portion and the mountain fold portion are formed facing each other is closed to form the bellows container 2. It is formed. Next, the connection between the bellows forming body 2 and the base member 3 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7.

  The base member 3 is a rectangular member having a bent portion 31 extending in the vertical direction at the center in the horizontal direction, and can be folded at the bent portion 31. When the card case 1 is in the closed state, the base member 31 is folded in two at the bent portion 31 to be in the closed state. When the card case 1 is in the open state, the base member 31 is released from being bent and is in the open state.

  The base member 3 has four sides, and among these sides, the first band member 21 is joined along the upper end 32 which is the side along the upper side in the horizontal direction, and the lower side in the horizontal direction. The second band member 22 is joined along the lower end portion 33 which is a side along. More specifically, the left end 214A of the first band member 21 is joined to the left side of the bent portion 31 along the upper end 32 of the base member 3, and the right end 214B of the first band member 21 is connected to the base. The base member 3 is joined to the right side of the bent portion 31 along the upper end 32. Similarly, the left end 224A of the second band member 22 is joined to the left side of the bent portion 31 along the lower end 33 of the base member 3, and the right end 224B of the second band member 22 is It is joined to the right side of the bent portion 31 along the lower end 33 of the base member 3.

  As a result, both the first band member 21 and the second band member 22 are bent along one side (upper end 32 or lower end 33) of the side of the base member 3 along the lateral direction. The both ends are joined side by side while sandwiching the portion 31, and the bellows container 2 is joined to the base member 3 so as to cross the bent portion 31. As described above, the bellows container 2 and the base member 3 are coupled to each other, so that the base member 3 is folded at the bent portion 31 and closed as in a so-called “popping picture book”. The container 2 is folded by being sandwiched between the folded base members 3. When the base member 31 is opened after the bending of the base member 31 is released, the bellows container 2 is placed in the folded state. And the card accommodating portion 23 is opened.

  In addition, as described above, as a result of the bellows container 2 and the base member 3 being combined, the two first end planes 2251 and 2261 existing on the end side of the second band member 22 and the base member 3 And the card 6 can be stored between them, and this becomes the card storage portion 24.

  The bellows container 2 and the base member 3 are arranged along the left end 41 and the lower end 42 of the outer member 4 and are joined. At that time, the bellows container 2, the base member 3, and the outer member 4 can be sewn at a time and connected. Note that the above-described sewing may be performed after the first band member 21 and the second band member 22 are combined to form the bellows container 2, or the above-described sewing may be performed before the first band member 21 and the second band member 22 are combined. After performing the sewing and performing the sewing, the first band member 21 and the second band member 22 may be combined on the base member 3. The latter has advantages in terms of ease of manufacture. In any case, it can be said that this type of card case manufacturing method is easier than the conventional one.
