Card-holding case with a dispensing hole

Abstract

A card-holding case has a case body provided with a card dispenser. The case body has a cavity to receive cards, and a dispensing hole. The cavity is closed by a cover having an aperture and a slide rail unit. The card dispenser includes a slide disposed over the aperture and mounted slidably to the slide rail unit, and a pusher arm connected to the slide and extending into the cavity through the aperture. The pusher arm has a push end to contact the cards. The slide is slidable relative to the cover to move the push end toward the dispensing hole so that the push end pushes one of the cards outward from the dispensing hole. The card-holding case may be hung on the user's body when a hanging string is attached to the case body.

1 . A card-holding case comprising:
 a case body including a base, a cavity formed in said base and adapted to receive a stack of cards, a cover closing said cavity, and a dispensing hole communicated with said cavity, said cover having an aperture and a slide rail unit; and   a card dispenser including a slide disposed over said aperture and mounted slidably to said slide rail unit, and a pusher arm connected to said slide and extending into said cavity through said aperture, said pusher arm having a push end adapted to contact one of the cards, said slide being slidable relative to said cover to move said push end toward said dispensing hole, whereby said push end pushes one of the cards outward from the dispensing hole.   
   
   
       2 . The card-holding case of  claim 1 , wherein said pusher arm is connected pivotally to said slide and is biased to move said push end downward. 
   
   
       3 . The card-holding case of  claim 2 , wherein said pusher arm further has a pivot end pivoted to said slide opposite to said push end, and a torsion spring connected to said pivot end and biasing said pusher arm. 
   
   
       4 . The card-holding case of  claim 2 , wherein said base has a bottom wall, and a plurality of sidewalls extending upward from said bottom wall to confine said cavity with said bottom wall, said slide rail unit having two spaced apart parallel rails extending in one direction, said push end being movable in said one direction, said cover further having a top wall disposed on top of said sidewalls, said dispensing hole being formed between said top wall and a top end of one of said sidewalls transverse to said one direction. 
   
   
       5 . The card-holding case of  claim 4 , wherein said cover is hinged to said base. 
   
   
       6 . The card-holding case of  claim 4 , wherein said card dispenser further has a returning spring, said returning spring having two ends which are opposite to each other in said one direction and which are connected respectively to said slide and said cover. 
   
   
       7 . The card-holding case of  claim 6 , wherein said case body further includes a guide disposed on said one of said sidewalls and proximate to said dispensing hole. 
   
   
       8 . The card-holding case of  claim 7 , wherein said guide has a plurality of spaced apart guide ribs each projecting from an inner surface of said one of said sidewalls and an inner surface of said bottom wall and each having an inclined guide surface that extends inclinedly and upwardly from said bottom wall to said top end of said one of said sidewalls. 
   
   
       9 . The card-holding case of  claim 1 , wherein said case body further includes a hanging part provided with a hanging hole. 
   
   
       10 . The card-holding case of  claim 9 , further comprising a hanging string connected to said hanging hole. 
   
   
       11 . The card-holding case of  claim 1 , further comprising a magnifying lens mounted on said cover. 
   
   
       12 . The card-holding case of  claim 1 , further comprising a compass mounted on said cover. 
   
   
       13 . The card-holding case of  claim 1 , further comprising a mirror mounted on said cover.
