Description

  The present invention relates to a business card holder that can carry a plurality of business cards and can take out the business cards one by one smoothly.

  When carrying a business card, in order to prevent the business card from being bent, bent or soiled, a business card holder for storing a plurality of business cards in a stacked state is used. When taking out one's own business card from the business card holder, it is necessary to put out fingers one by one from the business card in a stacked state with the fingers in the business card holder. However, since the inside of the business card holder is narrow and the fingertips are slippery with respect to the business card, it is often time-consuming to take out the business card, and several cards are taken out at the same time, so that one business card can be taken out smoothly. It was difficult. In order to deal with such a problem, for example, Patent Document 1 proposes a business card insertion technique for the purpose of taking out business cards one by one. The business card holder of Patent Document 1 is provided with a guide hole in the front member, a reinforcing plate attached to the back side of the front member, and an arcuate friction plate that freely slides integrally with the slide button across the guide hole. Further, a center portion of the linear spring is hung on the convex portion of the arched friction plate, and both ends are provided with return springs sandwiched and fixed at the stitched portions of the front member and the side member. Then, by pushing and sliding the slide button along the guide hole, the business card can be pushed outward by the arcuate friction plate on the back side of the slide button, and when the hand is released from the slide button, it is restored to its original position by the elastic restoring force of the return spring. The slide button and the arcuate friction plate were to be returned.

Utility Model Registration No. 3181827

  However, in the business card case of Patent Document 1, a guide hole for guiding the slide button is provided in the business card case, and the slide button and the arched friction plate are connected to each other with the guide hole interposed therebetween. It was necessary to reinforce the periphery with a reinforcing plate and to precisely provide slide buttons and guide holes. Therefore, the number of members is complicated and the structure is complicated, the manufacturing process is complicated, and the cost is high. In addition, since the bow-shaped friction plate protrudes in the inner space of the business card holder, it is inconvenient that it is easily caught when inserting the business card. Furthermore, since the slide button and the bow-shaped friction plate are provided so as to be relatively thick, the entire business card case is bulky in the thickness direction, so that it swells when placed in a clothing pocket or the like and is not portable. It was. Further, when taking out the business card, the guide hole and the slide button can be seen from the outside, so there is a problem that the appearance is poor and the design is inferior. Also, since the slide button and the bow-shaped friction plate are returned by the return spring, after the slide button is pushed and slid to extrude the business card, if the hand is released from the slide button, the bow-shaped friction plate is restored to the original by the return spring. There is a possibility that the business card pushed out when returning to the position may return to the inside of the business card case again, and there is a problem that the usability is poor.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional problems, and one object of the present invention is to produce a business card holder that can take out business cards one by one at a low cost with a simple configuration and has a good design. It is to provide.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention includes a flat case 12 having front and back surface portions 24 and 26 and a housing portion 20 for housing a business card NC, in which one end 22 is opened and a business card NC is taken in and out. It is a cover body that is disposed outside the surface portion 24 of the flat case 12 so as not to cover the hole 14 formed through the surface portion 24 and the opening 22 of the flat case 12 and covers the hole, and has a flat case at one end. 12 is provided on the free end side of the cover body 16 which is connected to the opening side of the surface portion 24 of the surface 12 and has the other end as a free end. A business card case 10 is provided that includes a friction operation unit 18 that feeds the business card on the outermost surface side from the opening 22 by a frictional force applied through the hole 14 by sliding operation toward the opening 22. The flat case 12 is made of, for example, cloth, non-woven fabric, natural leather, artificial leather such as artificial leather or synthetic leather, synthetic resin such as plastic, or metal such as iron or aluminum. The cover body 16 is made of, for example, artificial leather such as cloth, non-woven fabric, natural leather, artificial leather or synthetic leather, or synthetic resin.

  In addition, the friction operation unit 18 may include a non-slip portion 36 that generates a frictional force that does not slip on the business card at a portion that contacts the business card on the back surface of the cover body 16.

  Further, the contour shape of the hole 14 in the surface portion 24 of the flat case 12 may be such that the other end portion side opposite to the opening 22 is gradually narrowed.

  Further, the outer surface of the cover body 16 may be provided with a finger stopper 38 that prevents the operated finger FG from sliding.

  According to the business card holder of the present invention, there are a flat case having front and back portions and a receiving portion for storing the business card, in which one end is opened and a business card is inserted and removed, and a hole formed through the surface portion of the flat case. A cover body that is arranged outside the surface portion of the flat case so as not to cover the opening of the flat case and covers the hole, and has one end connected to the opening side of the surface portion of the flat case and the other end as a free end. A cover body that can be bent and deformed, and a business card on the outermost surface by a frictional force applied through the hole by sliding toward the opening while pressing the upper surface of the cover body. And a friction operation part that feeds out the opening from the opening, so that you can take out the business cards one by one by operating the friction operation part on the free end of the bendable cover body, and the operability is good and the structure is simple Can be manufactured at low cost. Furthermore, since the hole provided for taking out the business card is not visible from the outside, the design is good. In addition, after the business card is sent out by the friction operation unit, even if the hand is released from the friction operation unit, the free end of the cover body is in a free state, and the business card from the opening is not returned to the housing unit. Can be taken out.

  In addition, the friction operation part has a non-slip part that generates a frictional force that does not slip on the business card at the part that is attached to the business card on the back surface of the cover body. The force can be generated effectively and the business card can be taken out reliably and smoothly.

  In addition, the contour shape of the hole in the surface portion of the flat case has a configuration in which the other end portion opposite to the opening is gradually narrowed so that the business card is inserted into the flat case housing portion when the business card is inserted into the flat case housing portion. The business card can be stored smoothly and the hole edge of the business card or the flat case can be prevented from being damaged or deformed.

  Further, the outer surface of the cover body is provided with a finger stopper that prevents the operated fingers from slipping, so that the fingers can be moved with respect to the cover body when the friction operation section is pressed and slid.

  Embodiments of a business card holder according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The business card holder according to the present invention is a portable business card holder with a take-out mechanism that can store and carry a plurality of business cards in a storage portion and can take out the stored business cards one by one. 1 to 7 show a first embodiment of the business card holder of the present invention. As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, in the present embodiment, the business card holder 10 includes a flat case 12, a hole 14 provided in the flat case 12, and one end of the flat case 12 so as to cover the hole 14. Are connected to each other, and a friction operation unit 18 provided on the cover body 16 is provided.

  As shown in FIGS. 1, 3, and 4, the flat case 12 has a housing portion 20 for placing a plurality of business cards in an overlapped manner, and a business card case main body provided with an opening 22 for taking in and out a business card at one end. It is. In the present embodiment, the flat case 12 is formed by processing a thin plate-like or sheet-like thin member made of natural leather or artificial leather, for example. The flat case 12 includes, for example, a front surface portion 24 and a back surface portion 26 that are disposed to face each other with a gap so as to form the housing portion 20. The front surface portion 24 and the back surface portion 26 are each formed, for example, in a substantially rectangular sheet shape, and the flat case 12 is a substantially rectangular case that is slightly larger than the size of the business card. The front surface portion 24 and the back surface portion 26 open one side (upper side in FIG. 3, upper side) of the short side to form an opening 22 that communicates with the internal accommodating portion 20, and the other three sides (upper side in FIG. 3, The left side, the right side, and the lower side) are closed by side portions 281 to 283 and connected. The surface portion 24 and the three side surface portions 281 to 283 are integrally formed by bending a sheet of leather, for example, to form a pocket portion 32, and the pocket including the surface portion 24 The flat case 12 is configured by connecting the portion 32 to the back surface portion 26. The ears 30 projecting outward from the side surface parts 281 to 283 of the pocket part 32 are sewn and connected in a state of being overlapped along the three sides of the back surface part 26. On the opening 22 side of the flat case 12, a back surface portion 26 extends longer than the front surface portion 24, so that the business card NC can be easily put into the housing portion 20 of the flat case 12 from the opening 22. Note that the flat case 12 is not limited to the above-described configuration, and may have any configuration. For example, the flat case 12 may be provided with an opening on the long side of a substantially rectangular case, or may have a shape with a rounded corner at a substantially rectangular corner.

  As shown in FIGS. 2, 5, and 6, the surface portion 24 of the flat case 12 is formed with a hole 14 that penetrates the surface portion 24. The hole 14 is an operation hole that communicates with the accommodating portion 20 and allows the cover body 16 to be accessed through the hole 14 to the surface of the business card in the accommodating portion 20. In the present embodiment, the hole 14 is formed, for example, as a relatively large hole, and is provided with a certain length along the direction of inserting / removing the business card D. It is provided in width. Specifically, the hole 14 is provided in a substantially central position of the surface portion 24 with a substantially heart-shaped contour shape. The contour shape of the hole 14 is provided such that the side closer to the opening 22 is relatively wide and the end side shape on the opposite side to the opening 22 is gradually narrowed. Since the outline shape of the hole 14 is gradually narrower on the back side (the lower end side in FIG. 2) of the business card, the business card is less likely to be caught in the hole 14 when the business card is inserted into the accommodating portion 20, and the business card or flat case Can be accommodated smoothly without damaging. The hole 14 formed in the surface portion 24 may be of any size and shape that allows the cover body 16 to contact the business card through the hole and slide.

  As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 5, the cover body 16 is arranged so as to overlap the outer surface 24 of the flat case 12 to cover the hole 14, and one end 16 a is connected to the surface 24. In addition, the other end 16b is a free end, and is formed so as to be curved and deformable. The cover body 16 can be opened by freely bending the free end side in a connected state between the one end 16 and the surface portion 24, or can be freely bent into an arbitrary shape. The cover body 16 is integrally provided with the friction operation portion 18 and is a cover member for take-out operation that allows a business card to be taken out with the hole 14 covered. In the present embodiment, the cover body 16 is, for example, a non-stretchable flexible sheet body that is made of natural leather or artificial leather made of the same material as the flat case 12 and is thin and substantially rectangular so as to be freely curved. It is provided with a large area so as to cover the hole 16 of the flat case 12. The cover body 16 is provided in a substantially rectangular shape that is substantially the same as or slightly smaller than the surface portion 24. As shown in FIG. 6, the cover body 16 has one end 16 a on the short side connected to the short side on the opening 22 side of the surface portion 24 of the flat case 12 by sewing or the like, and the opening 22 at one end of the flat case 12. So as not to cover the surface portion 24. The connection end portion (16 a) of the cover body 16 with the surface portion 24 folds the end portion of the cover body 16 and connects the folded inner side with the surface portion 24. The cover body 16 and the surface portion 24 of the flat case 12 may be integrally formed with a single sheet member.

  The friction operation unit 18 is provided on the free end side of the cover body 16, and slides the free end side of the cover body 16 using the curved deformation of the cover body 16, thereby operating the business card to be sent out with frictional force. Operating means. That is, the friction operation part 18 is a friction action part that can directly apply friction to the business card in the cover body 16, and is provided at a position near the free end from the upper and lower intermediate positions of the cover body 16. It can be said that the cover body 16 including the friction operation portion 18 and the flat case side hole 14 cooperate to constitute a business card take-out mechanism 34. As shown in FIG. 7, the friction operation portion 18 is slid toward the opening 22 while pressing the upper surface of the cover body 16 with the finger FG of the hand, so that frictional force applied through the hole 14 causes the inside of the storage portion 20 to move. The outermost business card NC is sent out from the opening 22. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the friction operation unit 18 includes a non-slip part 36 for generating a frictional force against the business card at a portion that contacts the business card on the back surface of the cover body 16. The anti-slip portion 36 is made of, for example, a rubber material that generates a frictional force that does not slip against a business card, and is thinly provided with a thickness equal to or less than the thickness of the surface portion 24 of the flat case 12. The rubber as the non-slip portion 24 is made by applying or spraying a fluid rubber that hardens upon drying onto the back surface of the cover body 16, or a thin rubber member in a sheet or film shape is fixed with an adhesive or sewing. Or is formed. Therefore, the cover body 16 is held in a relatively thin state, and the entire business card holder is held in a structure that is not bulky. The outline shape of the non-slip portion 36 is formed in, for example, a square shape, but is not limited thereto, and may be any other shape such as a circular shape, an elliptical shape, a triangular shape, or a dot shape. As the non-slip portion 36, for example, rubber such as natural rubber, silicon rubber, synthetic rubber, resin having a large friction coefficient, or the like is attached, the cover body itself is formed of a high friction material, or the cover body is embroidered. Or any other configuration such as roughening or roughening. In the present embodiment, the configuration of the friction operation portion 18 of the cover body 16 and the configuration of the hole 14 described above do not require a function of guiding like a slide button and a guide hole of a conventional business card holder. Therefore, a special guide mechanism by a precise design of the slide button and the guide hole and a reinforcing structure around the hole are unnecessary, and the slide button and the friction member are connected with the guide hole interposed therebetween. No complicated structure or the like is required and can be easily manufactured.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, a finger stopper 38 is provided on the outer surface of the cover body 16 to prevent the operated fingers from slipping. In the present embodiment, the finger stopper 38 is made of, for example, a thin leather sheet piece having a thickness substantially equal to or less than the thickness of the cover body, and is a flat case on the surface side of the sheet body 16 at an intermediate position. The twelve holes 14 are fixed in a position corresponding to the positions of the holes 14. The contour shape of the finger stopper 38 is formed in, for example, a circular shape, but is not limited thereto, and may be any other shape such as an ellipse, a polygon such as a triangle or a rectangle, a heart shape, or the like. When operating the friction operation unit 18 of the cover body 16, the finger stopper unit 38 is difficult to slip a finger against the cover body due to a frictional force on the surface of the sheet piece or a finger placed on a slight step of the sheet piece. Can be operated smoothly. The finger stopper 38 may be attached with, for example, a rubber having a high frictional force such as a rubber that is difficult to slip, or may be subjected to fine uneven processing on the sheet body, or may have any other anti-slip structure. . Preferably, the non-slip portion is a business card in which a thin piece member having a smaller thickness than a three-dimensional shape having a relatively large thickness, such as a button, is attached, or the sheet body itself is processed to maintain the thin thickness structure of the sheet body. The portability can be maintained. When the surface of the sheet body is difficult for the finger to slip, the finger stopper is not necessarily provided.

  Next, the operation of the business card holder according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. A plurality of business cards NC are placed in advance in the housing portion 20 of the flat case 12 of the business card holder 10. When taking out the business card NC in order to give his business card to the other party, as shown in FIG. 7A, the friction operation portion on the free end side of the cover body 16 disposed on the surface portion 24 of the flat case 12 18 is pressed with a finger FG from the front surface side, and the anti-slip portion 36 on the back surface side of the cover body 16 is attached to the business card NC on the outermost surface through the hole 14 by utilizing the bending of the cover body 16. As shown in FIG. 7B, the opening 22 side of the flat case 12 is bent while the vicinity of the connection side is bent using the curved deformation of the cover body 16 itself while pressing from the upper surface side of the cover body 16 in the friction operation portion 18. Slide toward the. At this time, one business card NC is sent out from the opening 22 by the frictional force between the anti-slip portion 36 of the cover body 16 and the business card NC on the outermost surface side, and the end of the business card NC is taken out of the case. When the finger is released from the cover body 16 in this state, the free end portion becomes free and the cover body returns from the curved state to the original flat state, but since the pressed state is released, the cover body 16 and the business card NC There is little or no friction, and the business card NC sent out from the opening 22 does not return into the accommodating portion. As shown in FIG. 7C, one business card can be taken out by picking and pulling the end of the business card NC that has come out of the opening 22 with a finger. In this way, business cards can be taken out one by one smoothly and quickly.

  The business card holder is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, FIGS. 8A to 8D show another embodiment in which the configuration of the business card holder 10 is partially modified. The same members as those in the above embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted. In the embodiment of FIG. 8A, the lid 40 is opened and closed so as to cover the surface side of the cover body 16. The lid portion 40 is integrally connected to one long side of the back surface portion 26 of the flat case 12 and opens and closes in a folded manner. The back surface portion 26 and the lid portion 40 of the flat case 12 are integrally formed by folding a substantially rectangular sheet body in half from the center. The lid portion 40 is formed with an auxiliary pocket portion 42 into which a business card received from another person can be put. By providing the lid portion 40, the design of the business card holder can be further improved by closing the cover body 16 so as to cover it. In the embodiment of FIG. 8B, the lid portion 40 is provided as in FIG. 8A, but the lid portion 40 is integrally connected to the short side portion on the opening 22 side of the back surface portion 26 of the flat case 12. The door 22 is opened and closed in half so as to open and close the opening 22 for taking in and out the business card. Thereby, in the state which closed the cover part 40, since the opening 22 of a flat case can be covered, while being able to prevent that the accommodated business card falls unexpectedly, since a business card cannot be seen from the outside, it looks and designs Can be improved. In the embodiment of FIG. 8C, an opening 22 is provided at one long side end of the flat case 12 of a substantially rectangular case. The long side of the substantially rectangular cover body 16 is connected to the surface portion 26 of the flat case 12, and the other end is a free end. As in the above embodiment, the outermost business card can be sent out from the opening 22 by frictional force through the hole 14 by performing a sliding operation toward the opening 22 while pressing the friction operating portion 18 on the free end side of the cover body 16. it can.
