Description

Wallet for the visually impaired

The present invention relates to a wallet for the visually impaired, and more particularly, visually impaired people who are blind due to congenital or acquired factors can classify bill types or coins by amount and put them in the wallet, or when spending money, It is about a wallet for the visually impaired so that coins can be easily taken out.

In general, since it is impossible for visually impaired people to read characters with the naked eye, they decode Braille characters using the tactile senses of their fingertips to read characters.

These Braille characters are convex and protruding on the ground so that they can be recognized by the tactile sense of the fingertips, and a character with a single meaning is formed by regularly combining six large and small dots arranged regularly.

On the other hand, circular protrusions are displayed on banknotes used by the visually impaired to facilitate identification of amounts.

For example, one circular projection is displayed on a 1,000-won bill, two circular projections are displayed on a 5,000-won bill, and three circular projections are displayed on a 10,000-won bill.

Therefore, visually impaired people identify the amount of bills according to the difference in the number of protrusions felt on their fingers.

However, protrusions of bills may be worn for a long period of time, or foreign substances such as stickers may be attached to the protrusions due to careless storage of bills. In this case, it is difficult for visually impaired people to identify the amount of bills. .

An example of a technique for solving this problem is disclosed in Document 1 below.

Patent Document 1 includes a banknote discrimination unit in which a plurality of sensing rods are installed; and a banknote inserting portion that is foldably coupled to the banknote discrimination unit and into which a portion of a banknote can be inserted, wherein the banknote insertion unit can insert the plurality of sensing rods at positions corresponding to the plurality of sensing rods of the banknote discrimination unit. When the banknote discrimination unit is folded toward the banknote insertion unit without a banknote inserted into the banknote insertion unit, the plurality of detection rods are inserted into the banknote insertion unit, and Disclosed is a banknote sorter characterized in that when the banknote discrimination unit is folded toward the banknote insertion unit while a part of the banknote is inserted, a different number of sensing rods protrude outward from the banknote discrimination unit according to the type of banknote.

However, the conventional technology as described above has a problem in that its use is limited because the visually impaired can distinguish only the type of banknote. Therefore, there is a demand for the development of a wallet in which the visually impaired can classify bills by amount or can easily take them out and use them.
