It is the figure which looked at the state which the wallet was closed from the back. It is the figure which looked at the state which the wallet was closed from the front. It is a figure explaining the slide lock structure. It is a figure which shows how the space formed on the side of a card accommodating part absorbs the bulge of a coin accommodating part. It is a figure which shows the structure of the wallet which concerns on 2nd Embodiment of this invention.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

<First Embodiment>

First, FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the wallet according to the embodiment of the present invention as viewed from the inside, and FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the wallet closed as viewed from the back. FIG. 3 shows and describes a perspective view of the wallet in a closed state as viewed from the front. The configuration described below is optimized for left-handed (right-handed). It is also possible to optimize for right-handed (left-handed) by exchanging the left and right configurations symmetrically.

As shown in these figures, the wallet 1 includes an outer body portion 2 and an inner body portion 3, which are overlapped and have a predetermined length (2.5 mm in this example) from the left, right, and lower outer edges. By suturing only the part in a straight line, it is integrated and becomes the main body. The space between the outer main body 2 and the inner main body 3 is the bill accommodating portion. The outer main body 2 and the inner main body 3 are made of leather. The part where the right plane 2A of the outer main body 2 and the left plane 3A of the inner main body 3 are sewn together is the right part (also referred to as the first part) of the wallet 1, the left part 2B of the outer main body 2 and the inner main body 3 The portion where the right plane 3B is sewn is called the left portion (also referred to as the second portion) of the wallet 1. The upper portion of the left plane 3A of the inner main body portion 3 is provided with a notch portion 3C so that the accommodated card can be easily taken out.

One end of a fastening band member (also referred to as a strap) 10 is fixed to substantially the center of the upper part of the right plane 3B of the inner main body portion 3. The fastening band member 10 continues from the fixed end to the bent portion 10a, the straight portion 10b, the bent portion 10c, and the straight portion 10d. It is fitted and fixed to the button shown in the figure.

In this fastening band member 10, the bending portion 10c is interposed between the straight line portion 10b and the straight line portion 10d, but the bending portion 10c connects the fastening band member 10 from the right plane 2A side to the left plane of the outer main body portion 2. It plays the role of turning back to 2B. By this action, the straight portion 10b of the fastening band member 10 extends from the upper side to the right side on the right shoulder portion of the right plane 2A of the outer main body portion 2 at an inclination angle of about 45 degrees. At this time, since the fastening band member 10 has a ring shape, the wallet 1 is maintained in a folded state by inserting the upper corner of the right portion so as to overlap the right portion of the wallet 1 with the left portion. Ru. The fastening band member 10 has a structure in which a reinforcing tape is sandwiched between front and back surfaces with leather.

A card accommodating portion 4 is formed on the left flat surface 3A of the inner main body portion 3 of the wallet 1 by opening a predetermined length from the folding position C and opening a space by the area X. The lower left and right corners of the card accommodating portion 4 are notches 4a and 4b, so that the accommodating card or the like can be easily pushed out with a finger. A coin accommodating portion 5 is formed on the right plane 3B of the inner main body portion 3.

A substantially fan-shaped convex portion 8 is fixed by suturing to the upper left of the left plane 3A of the inner main body portion 3 and the left corner of the card accommodating portion 4. On the other hand, the right corner of the coin accommodating portion 5 is notched, and a substantially fan-shaped recess 9 is formed. Since the radius of the concave portion 9 is the same as or larger than the radius of the convex portion 8, the convex portion 8 is completely accommodated in the concave portion 9 when folded.

What is particularly characteristic is that the convex portion 8 and the concave portion 9 realize a slide lock structure. That is, as described above, both the convex portion 8 and the concave portion 9 have a substantially fan shape, but the radius of the convex portion 8 is the same as or smaller than the radius of the concave portion 9. Therefore, as shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 4, when the wallet 1 is folded in half, the convex portion 8 completely fits in the concave portion 9, and the straight portion 10b of the fastening band member 10 forms the outer main body portion 2. Since the right plane 2A of the wallet 2A is pressed and the state in which the right portion and the left portion face each other is maintained, the wallet 1 is locked in the folded state.

When unlocking, if you lift the lower corner of the left part of the wallet 1 a little, you can easily unlock the convex part 8 and the concave part 9 and fold the wallet 1 in half. It can be in a spread state. In this way, the lock state can be easily set / released by the slide operation due to the size relationship between the convex portion 8 and the concave portion 9 and the pressing force of the fastening band member 10.

The coin storage portion 5 has an opening 6 formed substantially diagonally from the vicinity of the upper left corner to the vicinity of the lower right corner, and the fastener portion 7 is fixed to the opening 6 by stitching. Since the opening 6 is inclined at about 45 degrees and can take the maximum fastener length in the restricted area, it is possible to easily store coins. Since the opening 6 is wide, it is easy to store various keys and the like in the coin storage unit 5.

The left end of the coin accommodating portion 5 is sewn with the end folded back to give a margin to the internal space. In addition, the upper and lower parts of the left end and the predetermined length are devised so that the coins stored in the internal space can be accommodated by not suturing. That is, when the wallet 1 is folded in half, it is generally stored in a pocket or the like so that the folded position C is downward, but at that time, it is stored inside the coin storage unit 5. Coins often accumulate in a predetermined width region Y from the folding position C due to gravity. Since the card accommodating portion 4 does not extend to the region X of the left plane 3A of the inner plane portion 3 facing the region Y when the wallet 1 is folded, it is a flat plane having no height. The bulge of coins accumulated in the area Y of the coin accommodating portion 5 is absorbed in the area X, and the folded state as a whole is thinned.

The situation is shown in detail in FIG. 5, and the bulge of coins inside the coin storage unit 5 is accommodated in the space formed below the card storage unit 4, that is, the recess, which makes it easy to fold as a whole. It can be seen that it is smaller and thinner.

The convex portion 8 and the concave portion 9 are not limited to the substantially fan-shaped shape described above, and various shapes such as a triangle and a quadrangle can be adopted. In that case, the size of the convex portion 8 is smaller than the size of the concave portion 9. In other words, the concave portion 9 is sized so that the convex portion 8 can be accommodated therein.

<Second Embodiment>

FIG. 6 (a) shows a plan view of the wallet according to the second embodiment of the present invention as viewed from the inside, and FIG. 6 (b) shows and describes a cross-sectional view of the wallet. .. The configuration described below is optimized for left-handed (right-handed). It is also possible to optimize for right-handed (left-handed) by exchanging the left and right configurations symmetrically.

As shown in these figures, the wallet 11 according to the second embodiment of the present invention is a long wallet that is folded in half. The wallet 11 is composed of a lower portion (also referred to as a first portion) 15A and an upper portion (also referred to as a second portion) 15B, and is folded in half at the upper and lower central portions. A substantially fan-shaped convex portion 12 is formed in the lower left corner of the lower portion 15A, and a substantially fan-shaped concave portion 13 is formed in the upper left corner of the upper portion 15B. A fastening band member 14 is formed at the left corner of the upper portion 15B so as to incline downward from the upper side to the left side.

Also in this example, the convex portion 12 and the concave portion 13 realize a slide lock structure. That is, both the convex portion 12 and the concave portion 13 have a substantially fan shape, but the radius of the convex portion 12 is the same as or smaller than the radius of the concave portion 13. Therefore, as shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 5B, when the wallet 11 is folded in half, the convex portion 12 completely fits in the concave portion 13, and the straight portion of the fastening band member 14 is the lower portion. Since the surface of the 15A is pressed and the state in which the upper portion 15B and the lower portion 15A face each other is maintained, the wallet 11 is locked in the folded state.

When unlocking, if you lift the right corner of the lower part 15A of the wallet 11 a little, you can easily unlock the convex part 12 and the concave part 13, and the wallet 11 is changed from the folded state to the spread state. can do. In this way, the lock state can be easily set / released by the slide operation due to the size relationship between the convex portion 12 and the concave portion 13 and the pressing force of the fastening band member 14.

As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to provide a wallet that is small and thin and has good operability.

The wallet according to the embodiment of the present invention can hold a necessary and sufficient number of cards while cashless society has become widespread, and is compact and thin as a whole, and has excellent portability.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to this and various improvements and changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
