  • wallets having multiple storage parts have been provided.
  • Patent Document No. 1 discloses a wallet comprising plural storage portions having an opening on the upper side of the inside of the body for storing coins, cards, and some paper money required for the time being.
  • the wallet disclosed in Patent Document No. 1 is formed with combined multiple cloths as separate parts such as a coin storage partitioning cloth, a coin storage gusset cloth, and a card storage partition cloth, etc., and therefore its storage part is not integrally formed. Accordingly, many processes are required in the manufacturing process, so that it takes time and labor to manufacture the wallet and also takes a high cost. Moreover, cloth is employed as a material, but not a silicone resin, and furthermore, an integral mold of a storage portion using a silicone resin material is not disclosed or suggested.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a clasp-top wallet made of silicone resin whose storage portion is separated by a partition portion regardless of being molded integrally.
  • a wallet made of a silicone resin, comprising: a pair of flat portions facing each other; a bottom portion connected to a bottom edge of each flat portion; a pair of side portions connected to right and left edges of the flat portions; and a partition portion for dividing a space formed from the flat portions, the bottom portion, and the side portions, wherein at least the flat portions, the bottom portion, the side portions, and the partition portion are integrally molded.
  • each of the flat portions may have at an upper edge an upper thickness portion with a predetermined thickness, and a hollow cylindrical metal fitting portion may be formed inside of each thickness part, and a metal frame may be attached to the metal fitting portion to render the flat portions open and closed.
  • knob portions may be attached to each of the upper thickness portions and the metal fitting portions, and the flat portions may be kept closed by the facing knob portions fitting each other.
  • the flat portions may have an approximately trapezoidal shape with at least upper right and left corners being rounded, be warped with a predetermined curvature in a closed state, and become a flat surface in an open state
  • the side portions may be formed with creases during integral molding.
  • the wallet of the present invention it is possible to divide a storage portion by a partition despite being integrally molded.
  • FIG. 1 is a front view of the wallet according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a side view of the wallet according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 3 is a plane view of the wallet according to the present invention.

  • FIG. 5 a perspective view of the wallet in an open state.
  • the wallet 1 comprises flat portions 2 , 3 having an approximately trapezoidal shape with at least upper right and left corners being rounded. It is to be noted that the shape of flat portions are not limited to an approximately trapezoid.
  • the flat portions 2 , 3 are warped with a predetermined curvature when viewed from the side in the closed state, since the flat portions 2 , 3 are made of a flexible and elastic material. It is also to be noted that when viewed from the side in an open state, the flat portions 2 , 3 are not warped, and become a flat surface.
  • the flexibility of a silicone resin material allows such a flexible change in shape. Accordingly, the opening becomes large when flat portions 2 , 3 are opened, which enables paper money, cards, and coins to be easily taken out, and the wallet can be made compact in size when flat portions 2 , 3 are closed, which makes it suitable to carry.
  • a bottom edge of each of the flat portions 2 , 3 is connected to a bottom portion 4 .
  • Right and left edges of the flat portions 2 , 3 have side thickness portions 7 , 8 having a predetermined thickness (for example, 3 to 6 mm), and right and left edges of the bottom portion 4 have a bottom thickness portion 9 having a predetermined thickness (for example, 3 to 6 mm).
  • These side thickness portions 7 , 8 and the bottom thickness portion 9 are respectively connected to side portions 10 which are opened or folded in response to the opening and closing of the wallet 1 .
  • the side portions 10 have creases formed during or after molding. With these creases, a regular opening and closing (folding) is achieved.
  • the flat portions 2 , 3 has, at an upper edge, upper thickness portions 12 , 13 , respectively, having a predetermined thickness (for example. 3 to 6 mm), and the upper thickness portions 12 , 13 have therein hollow cylindrical metal fitting portions 15 , 16 for pivotably attaching metal frames 11 a, 11 b.

  • the metal frames 11 a, 11 b are pivotable around a pivot center 11 c in response to the opening and closing of the flat portions 2 , 3 . These pivots of the metal frames 11 a, 11 b ensure an opening and closing of flat portions 2 , 3 .
  • the knob portions 5 , 6 are composed of sphere portions 5 a, 6 a, and cylindrical-shaped supporting post portions 5 b, 6 b for supporting the sphere portions 5 a, 6 a.
  • the supporting post portion 5 b extends to the flat portion 3 with slightly inclining more than a tilt angle of the flat portion 2 of a closed state. Where the flat portions 2 , 3 are in the closed state, a part of bottom surface of the sphere portion 5 a attached to the top of the supporting post portion 5 b abuts on the upper thickness portion 13 of the flat portion 3 .
  • An abutting surface of the sphere portion 5 a may be partially a recess. Providing such a recess enables to achieve stronger fitting.
  • the supporting post portion 6 b extends to the flat portion 2 with slightly inclining more than a tilt angle of flat portion 3 of a closed state. Where the flat portions 2 , 3 are in the closed state, a part of bottom surface of the sphere portion 6 a attached to the top of the supporting post portion 6 b abuts on the upper thickness portion 12 of the flat portion 2 .
  • An abutting surface of the sphere portion 6 a may be partially a recess. Providing such a recess enables to achieve stronger fitting.
  • bending portions 10 a, 10 b, 10 c of the side portions 10 are folded. More specifically, the bending portions 10 a, 10 b are valley-folded to be contained in such a manner that the bending portions 10 a, 10 b are sandwiched between a partition portion and the flat portions 2 , 3 , and the bending portion 10 c is mountain-folded.
