Description

  The present invention relates to a wallet having a simple structure.

  2. Description of the Related Art When carrying a banknote (a piece of paper), a horizontally long wallet for accommodating the banknote without a fold is widely used (for example, see Patent Document 1). The wallet has an outer shell made of natural leather or synthetic leather, which is a relatively large and relatively durable material than a bill, and a partition member for sandwiching bills and tickets is provided in the outer shell. In addition to the partition material, there may be a bag-like room for storing coins, a slit for storing cards, and the like.

  Wallets include those that are carried in a horizontally long shape, and those that are folded and carried at an intermediate portion in the longitudinal direction, and both have a function of protecting the entire bill and the like.

  On the other hand, a money clip is known as a device for easily carrying banknotes (for example, see Patent Document 2). The money clip is composed of a metal piece or the like sandwiching a folded bill and can be manufactured at a relatively low cost.

JP 2000-308510 A JP 2007-13709 A

  The banknote carrying method described above has the following problems. In the case of a wallet or a wallet, since a durable leather is used for the outer shell, the production cost is high, and when a storage section for cards is provided, the wallet becomes heavy and bulky. On the other hand, since the money clip has a simple structure, the bill is exposed and the bill is easily damaged. If the outer edge of a bill is bent, troubles are likely to occur when the bill is inserted into a vending machine or the like, which is inconvenient.

  In recent years, the number of foreign tourists visiting Japan has increased. There is an increasing demand for foreign tourists to leave their wallets at hotels and other places, and to go out for meals and shopping with only a few pieces of paper such as banknotes and tickets, and cards such as credit cards and prepaid cards. I have. There is also a demand for carrying a simple wallet not only for foreign tourists but also for outdoor sports such as jogging. In such a case, the wallet is heavy, and the money clip has a problem that the bill 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 wallet having a structure that is light and simple in structure, can be easily carried around, and does not damage a piece of paper.

  The wallet according to the present embodiment has a rectangular shape larger than a banknote, a resin base sheet formed to be foldable in the longitudinal direction, and a width slightly shorter than approximately half of the width of the base sheet. A substantially rectangular resin restraining sheet having a vertical width slightly shorter than the vertical width of the base sheet. The holding sheet has a slit that allows a card smaller than a bill to be inserted from the inside to the outside in a direction parallel to the longitudinal direction, and one side of the holding sheet is accommodated between the base sheet and the holding sheet. One short side of the base sheet is connected, and the other side is connected to one long side of the base sheet.

  In the present invention, by adopting a lightweight and simple structure, it is possible to easily carry and have a structure in which a piece of paper is not damaged.

  Hereinafter, a wallet according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, B in each figure shows a banknote (a piece of paper), but not limited to a banknote, but may be a ticket as long as it is a piece of paper. Also, C indicates a card, which includes a plastic card such as a credit card, as well as a card smaller than the banknote B such as a prepaid card and a membership card.

(1st Embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a wallet according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a front view showing the wallet. Reference numeral 10 in FIG. 1 indicates a wallet made of a resin sheet that accommodates the bills B in a removable manner. As the resin sheet, for example, a sheet made of a material such as polypropylene or the like in which the bills B are not slippery, or another resin sheet processed so as to be less slippery may be used. Moreover, you may create with the stone paper which made limestone the main raw material.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the wallet 10 includes a base sheet 20 formed in a horizontally long rectangular shape larger than the banknote B, and a holding sheet 30 and a holding sheet (others) formed integrally with the base sheet 20. Holding sheet) 40. The base sheet 20, the holding sheets 30, 40 are typically formed by cutting out one resin sheet. The central two divided portions obtained by dividing the horizontally long resin sheet into approximately four parts correspond to the base sheet 20, and the divided portions at both ends correspond to the restraining sheets 30 and 40.

  The wallet 10 is formed by folding both ends of a horizontally long resin sheet inward and welding the lower sides of the holding sheets 30 and 40 to the lower side of the base sheet 20. Of course, the base sheet 20 and the holding sheets 30, 40 may be separate components, or the base sheet 20 and the holding sheets 30, 40 may be formed of different materials. In the drawing, the right section of the base sheet 20 is referred to as a right sheet 21 and the left section is referred to as a left sheet 22 to distinguish them from each other. The wallet 10 is formed to be foldable in the longitudinal direction so that the right sheet 21 and the left sheet 22 face each other. The upper side 21a of the right sheet 21 and the upper side 22a of the left sheet 22 which will be described later constitute one long side of the base sheet 20, and the lower side 21b of the right sheet 21 and the lower side 22b of the left sheet 22 are the other side of the base sheet 20. Configure the long side.

  The right sheet 21 is formed in a rectangular shape and has an upper side 21a, a lower side 21b, and a right side (one short side) 21c. Similarly, the left sheet 22 is formed in a rectangular shape, and has an upper side 22a, a lower side 22b, and a left side 22c.

  The holding sheet 30 is stacked on the right sheet 21. The holding sheet 30 includes a substantially rectangular sheet 31 that is slightly smaller than the right sheet 21. The sheet 31 has one side connected to the lower side 21b of the right sheet 21 and the other side connected to the right side 21c. A slit 32 is formed in the sheet 31, and a card C can be inserted through the slit 32. The slit 32 is typically formed parallel to the right side 21c. The shape of the slit 32 may be linear or oval. The slit 32 may be formed slightly obliquely from the upper right to the lower left of the right sheet 21. Thereby, there is an effect that the card can be easily inserted into the slit 32.

  Typically, the sheet 31 is equivalent to a right-end partition part obtained by dividing a horizontally long resin sheet into approximately four equal parts, and is a part that is stacked on the right side sheet 21 by bending a right side part of the horizontally long resin sheet. is there. The lower side of the sheet 31 is joined to the lower side 21b of the right sheet 21. A joint 33 between the sheet 31 and the lower side 21b of the right sheet 21 is welded to increase the strength.

  The holding sheet 40 is stacked on the left sheet 22. The holding sheet 40 includes a substantially rectangular sheet 41 that is slightly smaller than the left sheet 22. The sheet 41 has one side connected to the lower side 22b of the left sheet 22 and the other side connected to the left side (the other short side) 22c. A slit 32 is formed in the sheet 41, and a card C can be inserted through the slit 32. Although the slit 42 is formed parallel to the left side 22c, it may be formed slightly obliquely, similarly to the slit 32.

  Typically, the sheet 41 is equivalent to a leftmost partition part obtained by dividing a horizontally long resin sheet into approximately four equal parts, and is a part that is stacked on the left sheet 22 by bending the left part of the horizontally long resin sheet. is there. The lower side of the sheet 41 is joined to the lower side 22b of the left sheet 22. A joint 43 between the sheet 41 and the lower side 22b of the left sheet 22 is welded to increase the strength.

  The wallet 10 thus configured is used as shown in FIGS. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a state where bills and cards are stored in the wallet 10, and FIG. 4 is a top view showing a state where bills and cards are stored in the wallet 10.

  In the wallet 10, the gap between the base sheet 20 and the holding sheets 30 and 40 constitutes a slot for taking in and out the banknote B. The bill B inserted from the slot is sandwiched and held between the base sheet 20 and the holding sheets 30 and 40. Since both the base sheet 20 and the holding sheets 30 and 40 are made of a polypropylene material, the base sheet 20 and the holding sheets 30 and 40 are not easily slipped, so that the possibility that the bills B fall out of the slot is reduced. Positioning the upper sides of the holding sheets 30 and 40 below the upper side of the base sheet 20 has an effect of facilitating the insertion and removal of the bills B.

  On the other hand, the card C can be inserted into the slits 32 and 42 as appropriate. The card C is inserted into the slits 32 and 42 in a lateral direction from the inside to the outside. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 4, the tip of the card C faces inward in a state where the wallet 10 is folded, so that the possibility that the card C comes out of the slits 32 and 42 can be reduced. By employing such a structure for holding the card C, the following effects are also exhibited. That is, by inserting the card C, the card C and the bill B are brought into direct contact, and a frictional force is generated between the card C and the bill B, and the card C functions as a non-slip. The holding force for holding the bill B and the card C can be increased. In particular, since the card C also functions as a pressing tool for pressing the bill B against the base sheet 20 in the folded state, the possibility that the bill B may fall out of the wallet 10 can be further reduced. There is almost no gusset between the base sheet 20 functioning as an accommodating portion for accommodating the banknotes B of the wallet 10 and the holding sheet 30 for holding the banknotes B. For this reason, as the number of stored banknotes B increases, the holding force at which the storage unit holds the banknotes B and the cards C decreases. As described above, by causing the card C to function as a pressing tool, a decrease in holding force can be suppressed.

  In addition, as described above, the banknote B accommodated in the wallet 10 is held on both sides by the base sheet 20 and the sheets 31 and 41, and each side and each side are exposed to the outside by folding the wallet 10. , It can be sufficiently protected. Since the base sheet 20 and the sheets 31 and 41 can be manufactured by cutting out a single sheet and then welding only a portion requiring strength, it can be manufactured at low cost and is lightweight and suitable for carrying. ing. Further, due to the difference in size between the base sheet 20 and the sheets 31, 41, a part of the bill B is visible, so that the bill B can be easily taken out.

  As described above, the wallet 10 according to the present embodiment has a lightweight and simple structure, so that the wallet 10 can be easily carried and a paper piece is not damaged. In addition, only one of the pressing sheets 30 and 40 may be used.

(2nd Embodiment)
FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a wallet 10A according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a front view showing the wallet 10A. In these drawings, the same reference numerals are given to the same functional portions as those in FIGS.

  The purse 10A is formed by integrally forming a flap sheet 50 on the upper side 21a of the right sheet 21 of the purse 10 according to the first embodiment. The flap sheet 50 has a substantially semicircular shape narrower than the right sheet 21, and a base end (flat side) thereof is connected to the center of the upper side 21 a of the right sheet 21. The corner of the front end side of the flap sheet 50 (the side not connected to the upper side 21a of the right sheet 21) is rounded. Note that, typically, the small sheet 51 is a separate part from the base sheet 20, and a joint 52 with the upper side 21a of the right sheet 21 is welded for reinforcement for reinforcement. Of course, the small sheet 51 may be formed integrally with the base sheet 20.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the lower end (front end) of the small sheet 51 is located lower than the upper end of the sheet 31, and the small sheet 51 and the sheet 31 partially overlap. The left end of the small sheet 51 is located at the same position as the left end of the sheet 31 or slightly to the right (outside). When a slight difference in position is provided, it is easy to use the flap sheet 50 and the holding sheet 30 properly, and the effect of facilitating insertion of the bill B into the wallet 10A is exhibited.

  The wallet 10A thus configured is used as shown in FIGS. FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a state in which a bill B and a card C are stored in a purse 10A, and FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing a state in which the bill B is taken out from the purse 10A.

  When the user stores the bill B in the wallet 10A, the user opens the flap sheet 50 upward and inserts the bill B between the base sheet 20 and the sheets 31, 41. When the flap sheet 50 is released, it naturally closes and overlaps the sheet 31. By providing the flap sheet 50 in this manner, since the upper end of the bill B abuts on the flap sheet 50, the possibility that the bill B unintentionally slips out of the purse 10A is reduced as compared with the purse 10 according to the first embodiment. can do.

  When the banknote B is taken out from the wallet 10A, as shown in FIG. 8, the banknote B can be taken out from the center gap between the sheets 31 and 41 with the user's hand H, so that the flap sheet 50 needs to be lifted. Absent. At this time, since the lower left corner of the flap sheet 50 and the upper left corner of the sheet 31 are rounded, it can be said that the possibility that the banknote B is damaged by the sheet is low.

  A user who does not use the flap sheet 50 can use the wallet 10A in the same manner as the wallet 10 according to the first embodiment by housing the flap sheet 50 between the sheet 31 and the base sheet 20. The storage of the card C in the wallet 10A is the same as that of the wallet 10.

  When the flap sheet 50 is used, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the bill B may unintentionally slip out of the purse 10A. However, when the bill B is stored in the purse 10A, the flap sheet 50 is manually lifted. Since it is necessary to keep it, it takes more time than the wallet 10 according to the first embodiment. When the number of banknotes B is large, the banknotes B are more likely to slip out of the wallet 10A unintentionally than when the number of banknotes B is small. Therefore, the flap sheet 50 of the wallet 10A may be selectively used such that the flap sheet 50 is used when the number of banknotes B is large, and the flap sheet 50 is not used when the number of banknotes B is small.

  Thus, the wallet 10A according to the second embodiment exhibits the same effects as the first embodiment. In other words, the wallet 10A has a lightweight and simple structure, so that it can be easily carried and a paper piece is not damaged. Furthermore, by equipping the flap sheet 50, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the banknote B may unintentionally slip out of the wallet 10A while suppressing an extremely low usability as compared with the wallet 10 not equipped with the flap sheet 50. can do. Note that the flap sheet 50 may be provided on the pressing sheet 40 side.

FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing a wallet 10B according to a third embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 10 is a front view showing the wallet 10B. In these drawings, the same reference numerals are given to the same functional portions as those in FIGS.

  The wallet 10B is obtained by providing a pocket 60 instead of the holding sheet 40 in the above-described wallet 10A. The pocket 60 has a bag 61 slightly smaller than the left seat 22. The bag body 61 is connected to the lower side 22b and the left side (the other short side) 22c of the left sheet 22. A pocket flap 62 is integrally formed at the upper end of the sheet on the back side of the two sheets constituting the bag, and the opening of the bag 61 can be closed by a snap button or a hook-and-loop fastener. The joint 63 between the bag body 61 and the lower side 22b of the left sheet 22 is welded to increase the strength.

  Such a purse 10B can accommodate bills B and cards C in the same manner as the purse 10 or the purse 10A described above. Further, it is possible to put a key and coins in the pocket 60.

  As described above, the wallet 10B according to the present embodiment has a lightweight and simple structure, so that the wallet 10B can be easily carried and a structure in which a piece of paper is not damaged. Note that the pocket 60 may be provided on the holding sheet 30 side.
