Description
- This invention claims priority, under 35 U.S.C. §120, to the U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/054,868 to Gerald Baca filed on May 21, 2008, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to wallets, specifically to an easily accessible wallet and money clip.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- A wallet, or billfold, is a small, flat case used to carry personal items such as cash, credit cards and identification documents, such as a driver's license. Wallets are generally made of leather or fabrics, and they are usually pocket-sized. Wallets are usually designed to hold bills and credit cards and fit into a pocket (or handbag). Small cases for securing bills which do not have space for credit cards or identification cards may be classified as money clips.
- Breast wallet (also called a “secretary wallet” or “passage wallet”) is a wallet in which the bills are not folded. They are intended for men's breast pocket in a jacket, or for a handbag. They are too large for storage in a pant pocket. Bi-fold wallet: a type of wallet in which the bills are folded over once. This has become the “standard” wallet. Credit cards and identification cards may be stored horizontally or vertically. Tri-fold wallet: a wallet with three folds, in which credit cards are generally stored vertically. Front pocket wallet (or money clip): a case with no currency compartment and very few pockets for cards. Usually bills are folded and held to the wallet with a metal clip. Some improvements have been made in the field. Examples of references related to the present invention are described below, and the supported teachings of each reference are incorporated by reference herein:
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,775,398 by Siegel, discloses a holder for a credit card or a similar object formed from panels at least one of which is transparent and being sealed along selected sides or edges to form a card-receiving pocket. One side is open to insert and receive the card. The opposite side is notched so the user can apply manual force to an edge of a contained card to partially extend it from the pocket. The card holder may be included in an organizer, wallet or pocketbook and may be part of an assembly of card holders joined together.
- U.S. Pat. No. Des 435,340 by Kojoori, discloses an ornamental design for the ID window front pocket wallet, as shown and described.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,427,837 by Shields, discloses a latchable enclosure for the above small plastic and business cards. The invention also comprises a novel support and carrying means and a novel paper currency attachment.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,800,659 by Exline, et al., discloses a wallet size card book which has been adapted to hold a card having the dimensions of a conventional credit card, and is particularly designed to be carried in the credit card compartment of a wallet or similar size compartment holder. The use of a resin emulsion adhesive, a vinyl acetate ethylene copolymer emulsion, in the card book makes it possible to create a properly formed pocket closed on three sides for holding and protecting the card.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,120,228 by Exline, discloses a wallet size pocketed booklet which has been adapted to hold a card having the dimensions of a conventional credit card, and is particularly designed to be carried in the credit card compartment of a wallet or similar size compartment holder. The use of a resin emulsion adhesive, a vinyl acetate ethylene copolymer emulsion, in the pocketed booklet makes it possible to create a properly formed pocket closed on three sides for holding and protecting the card.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,942,913 by Musso, discloses an incorporating of a separate sub-wallet within a conventional wallet wherein the sub-wallet can be removed and utilized when it is not necessary to carry the entire wallet. The sub-wallet includes a currency carrying compartment and a separate credit card carrying compartment. Appropriate identification papers can also be carried in the credit card compartment. There will also be included within the currency carrying compartment a separate key compartment.
- U.S. Pat. No. 2,575,030 by Smallman, discloses a wallet device comprising, in combination, hingedly interrelated leaves; relatively rigid reinforcing means secured to the free longitudinal and end edges of one of said leaves; and paper holding clip means lying against the inner surface of said one leaf, said clip means extending transversely of said one leaf and having its opposite ends engaged with the opposite longitudinal portions of said reinforcing means; said reinforcing means being deformed around the opposite ends of said clip means to anchor the latter against movement longitudinally of said one leaf.
- The inventions heretofore known suffer from a number of disadvantages which include being expensive, being difficult to use, being burdensome, being limited in adaptability, being limited in application, being limited in versatility, and being bulky.
- What is needed is a single-fold wallet that solves one or more of the problems described herein and/or one or more problems that may come to the attention of one skilled in the art upon becoming familiar with this specification.
- The present invention has been developed in response to the present state of the art, and in particular, in response to the problems and needs in the art that have not yet been fully solved by currently available wallets. Accordingly, the present invention has been developed to provide a single-fold wallet that conveniently and easily stores and secures personal items.
- According to one embodiment of the invention, there is a single-fold wallet configured to secure and store monetary funds and personal items. The wallet may include a single-fold housing configured to secure and store monetary funds and personal items. The wallet may also include a transparent window pocket disposed on an exterior surface of the housing. The wallet may further include a plurality of pocket sleeves, each having an aperture disposed along a top end of the sleeve. The sleeves may be coupled to an interior surface of the housing in an array, wherein a portion of each sleeve is transparent. The wallet may additionally include a monetary pocket disposed within the housing between the plurality of pocket sleeves and the housing. Furthermore, the wallet may include a clip having a biased member disposed on the exterior surface of the housing, coupled to the housing opposite of the transparent window.
- In addition, each of the plurality of transparent pocket sleeves may include a securing flap configured to cover the aperture. The plurality of transparent pocket sleeves may also include a coupling device. The transparent window may include an aperture configured to receive a planar member. The plurality of transparent pocket sleeves may be selectably coupleable of the housing. The clip may be selectably coupleable to the exterior of the housing. Each of the pocket sleeves may include two oppositely facing pockets, each with an aperture and with a corresponding transparent portion.
