CURRENCY HOLDER Filed OC'b. l0, 1931 1N VENTO/ J/fbr L. Halperin Patented Feb. 25, 1936 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 13 Claims.
This invention relates to currency holders and more particularly to a currency holder wherein the bills or currency are foldedaround the holder.
An object is to provi-de a novel currency holder of the simplest character, which may be opened to insert or remove bills or currency and which is automatically held under tension when in closed position.
An object is to provide a. novel currency holder having novel retaining means and which provides greatest facility and ease of inserting and removing currency or bills therein or therefrom.
Another object is to provide a novel currency holder which will hold bills or currency in a convenient manner for accessibility and ready inspection without removal of the currency from the holder.
Another object is to provide a novel currency holder of durable and permanent material which may be conveniently attached to the clothing by suitable connecting means.
A still further object is to provide a novel currency holder of light metal or other material and which will be protected from wearing the clothing, such as the pocket, of the user by the currency held thereby.
Other objects, advantages and features of invention may appear from the accompanying drawing, the subjoined detail description, and the appended claims.
The accompanying drawing illustrates the invention in a form I at present deem preferable.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of my novel currency holder in opened position with a note held therewith.
Fig. 2 is an elevational view of the holder in closed position.
Fig: 3 is an end elevation of the holder in closed position, and as viewed from the bottom of Fig. 2, and showing in broken lines the position of a note held by my novel device.
Fig. 4 is an elevational view of the holder as viewed from the side opposite to that shown in Fig. 2.
Fig. 5 is a sectional view taken on line 5 5, i Fig. 2, and looking in the direction of the arrows.
My novel holder comprises two hinged members I and 2; member I is pivotally connected to member 2 by means of a journal or pintle 3 that passes through the curved portions 4 of member I and pintle 3 also passes through the bearing portions 5 which are an integral part of the hinge member 2. The pintle 3 is non-rotatably secured to member I by any -suitable means such as pin 6.
(Cl. 20G-37) The member 2 is provide-d with a ring member 'I which is formed by partially cutting out a. section 8 that provides a recess 9; the cut out section 8 is bent at an angle to member 2 and forms a guide or stop that aids in positioning `currency in the holder.
The member 2 is provided with a spring I0, one end II of Which forms currency engaging means, and the other end I2 of which forms means to automatically maintain themembers I and 2 in a closed position when the holder is closed and to tension the free edges of members I and 2 against each other to aid in holding currency therein. The spring I0 is secured intermediate its ends to member 2 by any suitable means such as the stamped out flanges I3 which clamp the spring III to member 2 and against a bridge member I4 that is intermediate flanges I3, as is best shown in Fig. 4.
The holder may be easily opened by grasping the free longitudinal edges of members I and 2 and pulling the same away from each other, then the hinge member 2 rotates on the pintle 3. When the holder is opened, one en-d of the currency to be held is slipped underneath the end II of spring I0 and wrapped or folded around the holder so that the opposite end of the currency will overlie the inner side of member I. To cl-ose the holder, the members I and 2 are then moved towar-d each other when they will assume the position shown in Figs. 2, 3 and 4, whereupon the end I2 of spring I0 rests against a attened portion I5 formed on pintle 3 between the bearing portions 5 and such portion I5 acts as a cam. The cam I5 being integral with the pintle 3, and thereby connected by any suitable means as pin 6 to member I, is in fixed relation to member I and retains the holder in closed position under tension of the spring end I2, as best shown in Figs. 3 and 5. In Fig. 3 a note is shown in the holder by means of the broken lines I6.
It will be apparent that a multiple of notes may be folded about the currency holder and be conveniently held and carried thereby, and When the holder is opened, access is readily had to one end o-f each of the notes contained therein without removing the notes from under the spring I I, and further, a multiple of notes may be readily inspected Without removing them from the holder. The holder may be of any convenient size and is no-w constructed of a size within the Width of the conventional notes now being used, and by means of the guide positioning the notes along one side of the holder the notes are properly positioned to thereby act; as a cover or enclosure for the holder, and prevent it from coming in contact with other objects such as the cloth of a pocket in which the holder may be ordinarily carried or the lining of a purse in which the holder may be carried. For the convenience of the user, there is provided the ring section 'l to Which may be fastened a pin or other suitable means (not shown) for connecting the holder to a convenient part of a users clothing if desired.
My novel currency holder may if desired have imprinted on either of the members l and 2 suitable indicia (not sho-Wn) for identification or advertising purposes and thereby enhance the value of the article.
It will be readily seen by one versed in the art that certain modifications of the structure may be made, and I do not wish to limit myself to the exact construction shown, but to include such modifications as may well be made without departing fromthe spirit of the invention as set forth in theappended claims.
