RAYMOND J. OPFERGELT, OF INGLEWOOD, CALIFORNIA.
CARD GA SE.
Application filed October 24, 1927. Serial No. 228,468.
My invention relates to and has for a purpose the provision of a card case in which business or calling cards can be kept, carried, and protected against being soiled and yet readily dispensed therefrom as required, my invention embodying means by which the cards can be singly projected from the case and thus readily withdrawn.
I will describe only one form of card case embodying my invention and will then point out the novel features in claim.
In the accompanying drawing:
Fig. 1 is a view showing in perspective one form of card case embodying my invention;
Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal sectional view of the card case shown in Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a fragmentary enlarged sectional "view illustrating the manner in which the projecting element engages the cards within the case incident to their projection from the case;
Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 2 showing a card projected from the case and the corresponding position of the projector; and
Fig. 5 is a fragmentary vertical sectional view taken on the line 55 of Fig. 4.
Referring specifically to the drawings, myv
invention in its present embodiment comprises a case body 15 which may be formed of any suitable material, such as metal or the like, and which, in the present instance, is shown of rectangular formation andrelatively thin so that it can be easily carried in the The dimensions of the case body are such as to receive a plurality of business or calling cards which are inserted into the case through'the open end thereof, it being noted that one end of the body is closed while the other end is open but is adapted to be closed by a cover 16 retained in place by coacting projections 17 and depressions 18 at the edges of the case body and cover, respectively, as clearly shown in Fig. 5.
The cards are indicated at 19 and as shown in Fig. 2, they are stacked one upon the other on a follower 20 which consists of a plate or metal or other suitable material and which is urged upwardly as viewedin Fig. 2 by means of a spring 21 secured to the under side of the plate at one end as indicated at 22 and free at the other end. so as to slide on the plate. Secured within the case body atthe inner endof the latter is a spacing strip 23 of metal or other suitable material which is of such width as to terminate short of the top of the case body as clearly illustrated in Fig. 3 for the purpose of providing proper clearance for a slip 24; of a projector plate 25 and to thereby insure the proper feeding of the cards from the case when the projector is actuated. i
The projector plate is interposed between the top of the case body and the uppermost card 19, as illustrated in Fig. 2, the lip 24 being formed on the inner end of. the projector plate. An operating button 26 is secured to the projector plate 25 and is movable in a slot 27 of the case body 15. By actuating the button 26 the projector plate can be moved from the retracted position shown in 42 to the advanced position shown in In the operation of the projector, the follower 20 positions theuppermost card 19, as illustrated in Figs.2 and 3', and in which the lip 24 engages the inner edges ofthe card so that by moving the projector to the position shown in Fig. 2 the card, will be advanced and partly projected through a slot 28 in the cover 16. It is important to note that the slot 28 is spaced from one side of the cover a distance corresponding to the combined thickness of the adjacent wall of the case body and the projector plate 25 Thus, the slot is positioned to permit the uppermost card to be projected from the case upon operation of the projector.
With a card in projected position as shown in Fig. 4, it will be clear that it can be readil withdrawn from the case, following whic the projector can be retracted to normal position for the projection of the next card beneath. During this operation the follower 20 is elevated by the spring 21 so as to move the next card into position for engagement by the lip 24 of the projector plate. 7
Although I have herein shown and described only one form ofcard case embodying my invention, it is to be understood that various changes and modifications may be made herein without departing from the spirit of the invention and the spirit and scope of the appended claim.
I claim:
A card case comprising a body having one end open, a removable cover closing said end of the body and provided with a card dis,-
charge slot, means for releasably retaining the cover in closed position, a-plate movable within the body, an operating button secured to the plate, said body having a slot in which the'b'utton works, a spring-pressed follower withinthe body for urging cards towards said plate, a lip on said plate adapted to engage the edge of the most adjacent card to move the card outwardly of the case through the cover slot upon actuation of said plate, and a spacing strip within the body at its other end for holding the'cards 10 in such position as to permit said lip to suecessivelyengage the edges; of the cards.
