2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, commuter passes, telephone cards,
As a card case for storing cards such as a cash card and a business card, various kinds of card cases made of synthetic or natural leather have been proposed.

[0003]

The leather card case described above has the following disadvantages.
First, in the case of a card case product made of synthetic or natural leather, a sewing process is required at the stage of manufacturing the product due to the properties of the material, and a bonding process of bonding materials to each other is required. Because of the necessity, it not only took a lot of time and effort in the production stage, but also increased the production cost. As a result, since the expensive leather material having the unit price of the raw material is used, the price of the product was further increased. Secondly, embossing a pattern or the like on the surface of a leather product to impart designability requires a separate embossing step, which further increases the manufacturing cost. Third, leather products which have been subjected to a bonding step in order to bond members to each other have apparently bonded portions, so that the quality of the finished product is poor. In addition, with aging deterioration,
There was also a possibility that the bonded portion was gradually peeled off.

An object of the present invention is to provide a card case that is manufactured without using an adhesive such as glue and that is made of a main body that does not require a manufacturing cost, in view of the above problems in the conventional card case. is there.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, according to the first aspect of the present invention, at the time of three-dimensional assembly, cards and the like can be stored on the front side and the back side, respectively. The card case is provided with a storage portion, and in the unfolded state of the card case, the card case is formed of a bendable main body that spreads into a single sheet and has an intersection O between an upper and lower center line X and a left and right center line Y. A plurality of fold curves provided in the same direction as the vertical center line X and a plurality of fold curves provided in the same direction as the left and right center line Y are provided on the single sheet-shaped main body. By providing a curve, the card case in the expanded state is sequentially folded along each folding curve,
And at the time of completion of the three-dimensional assembly of the card case,
It has a plurality of storage portions for storing and holding cards and the like by the crimping force of each folded surface and each piece, and the opening end of the storage portion has a large portion on one side of the card holder. It is characterized by:

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the card slot according to the first aspect, a cutout for sandwiching cards or the like is provided on a crimping surface of the card slot.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the card case of the first and second aspects, the main body is made of synthetic resin, leather, thick paper, or the like.

[0008]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, a card case having a plurality of storage sections can be assembled and completed by using a crimping force of each folded surface and each piece without using an adhesive such as glue. At the same time, since it does not have an externally attached portion, it can give a sense of quality. And since the opening end of the storage part is made large on one side of the card holder, cards can be easily taken in and out, and at the same time, the crimping force of each folded surface is used.
