ATTOR EYS Patented Mar. 18, 1952 UNITED STATES- PATENT OFFICE i PASS CASE ams LIKE Douglas J. Broughton, Springfield, Mass, assignor to Buxton, Incorporated,Springfield, Mass., a corporation of Massachusetts ff Application June 28.1947, Serial No. 757,731 1 Claim. (01. 15o-39 'invention relatesfto; an improvement in pocket receptacles for carrying pass card-s, small photographs, identification" cards: and the like.
d The principal object of the invention is to provide a structural arrangement by which a more fil aninovel d play of the'material carried in the case'is' obtained, providing'a'new utility for cases of this kind. I"
Other and more specificaobjects and advantages of the invention will be made apparent from the following specification-and claim. Int-he accompanying drawings, I i
li's a plan view of a pass case. in open position, embodying the invention;
Fig. 2 is:a'irragmentaryiview' 'on'fa larger scale 0f the pass case; J I
I Fig. 3 is an edge view of one of the pass card .holders, as prepared for incorporation in the pass case;
Fig. 4 is a plan view of an alternative form of pass cardholder;
:Fig. 5- is a View similar to Fig. 1,.b'ut on a smaller scale and showing certain ofthe card holders pivoted outwardly to illustrate the-advantages of displayafiorded hy the noveli construction of thepass case; 4 I I r Fig. 6 is an edge view of the pass case in closed position; and
7 is a fragmentary view similar to Fig. 1 but showing an alternative construction.
Referring to the drawings, the case is shown as comprising a cover, generally indicated at I, in the form of a generally rectangular piece of leather or other suitable material. The'longitudinal edges of the piece of material fromw-hich binding strip'l cementedin place'and having {a "portion 8 ,which extends outwardly oi the adia- 1 cent edge of the transparent loop, to form a hinge "member. The carriers thus formed are open :along their upper and lower edges for the insertion o-rwithdrawal of cards and the like. The carriers mayhowever be formed open at their qouter end edge and closed along the sides;-as shown in Fig. 4 in which the strip of transparent l0 bindingstrip l is cemented to one end of the ';material is folded to form a flat tube 9 -'and the so-form'ed tube. Whichever form is preferred a plurality of carriers are arranged in stackedrelashowing the details of construction of one end tion at each endfof the cover piece, as shown in Fig. 2, with thefree edges'of the hingeportions B adjacentth fold'lines of extensions}. The
l' extensions 3 are then folded -overgon' the-hinge pcrti'on'stand a lineofstitch ing I0 run' thr'ou gh the superposed extensions, hinges-and cover piece to permanently bind the carriers to the cover piece. The width of the hinge .portions, i3, is slightly greaterthan the width'of the end extensions 3. Thus each carrier is connected by a 'fiexible zone ll between the inner edge [2 of the extension and the adjacent edge 13 of. the transparent bodyof the carrier about which each carrier can freely pivot or swing outwardly of the case as shown'in Fig. 5. r The adjacent ends M of the two groups of carriers are spaced from each other, so th-at'the intervening portion I5 of the cover may form a folding zone about which the end sections of the cover may be folded one on the other to position the two groups of carriers insuperposed the cover is formed are preferably folded over on and cemented to the inner face of the covet as indicated at 2 to provide finished edges. Eachend of the cover is provided with a narrow ex tension 3 which is folded inwardly over the cover. As shown in Fig. 2, which shows one end of the case-the other end being similarthe cover piece is preferably notched at the ends of the line of fold of extensions 3, as indicated at 4. to round the corners of the finished case.
- In the illustrated relation between the folded cover halves as shown in Fig. 6.
"oijthe cover, but the number of carriers in each [group may be greater or less than that number y depending on the capacity desired. As will be pbvious two cards positioned back to back may be placed in each carrier for display through the opposite transparent faces of the carrier.
Subsequent to the folding and cementing of edge portions 2 but prior to the folding of the end extensions a plurality of transparent carrier members, generally indicated at 5, are assembled in superposed relation at each end of the cover piece. As shownin Fig. 3, each carrier comprises a strip of suitable flexible transparent sheet material 6 centrally; folded to form a flat loop. The ends of the strip are held together by a fabric the centerline .of "the cover.
injg the case, the cards exposed through the upper The construction of the present invention has embodiment three carriers ti are hinged in superposed relation at each end for common inspection, and on turning over the second set of carriers, four more cards pictures or the like are simultaneously displayed. Direct comparison of the material on four of the cards,
holder being provided along one edge with a I hinge member secured to said edge and having 3. flexible hinge forming portion extending from or of the subject matter of four snap shots is s thus made possible.
..While it is usuallypreferable to hinge the the edge of the holder to which it is secured, said holders being arranged in two opposed groups positioned one group on the inner face of each coversection with the hinge members of the holders of 'each group positioned in superposed relation adjacent that outer edge of the underlying cover section which is provided with said narrow extension, each said extension being folded inwardly and over the superposed hinge members adjacent thereto, and a line of stitching extending through each extension, the edge portion of the underlying cover section and the intervening hinge members tohinge the groups groups of holders to the end edges of the cover sections as shown in Fig. 1, the holders may-,if
desired be hinged to one of the longitudinal edges of the sections :as indicated. in Fig. 7. Asshown in'the latter figure the ends of the cover piece I are. provided with portions 16 which are folded over and cemented directed to the innerface of the cover piece to finish the edges.
The lower longitudinal edge of the cover is provided with an extension I! which is folded over hinge members l8 which are secured to a longitudinal edge of the carriers !9. Except for the position of the hinges on the carriers the hinge members l8 and carriers 49 may be similar in construction to the carriers 5 and hinge members '|8 previously described. A line of stitching 20 extends through extension H, the hinge members [8, and the underlying cover portion to hinge the carriers tothe edges of the cover sections for swinging movement outwardly of the case. As will be obvious this arrangement also permits the contents of four carriers to 'be simultaneouslyexposed for direct comparison of their subject matter.
What Iv claim is: A pass case comprising an elongated piece of flexible material providing two sections foldable lengthwise one upon the other about a transverse line of fold, each section being formed with a narrow integral extension along an outer edge thereof, a plurality of pass card holders each of holders to their respective cover sections for individual swinging movement outwardly of the cover, the adjacent unhinged edges of the holders of the, opposed groups being spaced from said transverse line of fold, the folded over portion of the cover extensions being narrower than the underlying portions of the hinge members to provide a freely flexing hinge portion between the edge of the holder to which the hinge member is secured and the adjacent edge of the folded over cover extensions.
