Abstract
A coin change organizing holder for personal use in a wallet/billfold or purse is constructed in such a fashion as to allow the coins to be retained in a series of rows or channels on the surface of a small thin rectangular card and to easily slide slightly above the surface of the card and partially overlap in a compact manner.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A flat small thin rectangular coin holding card with side edge retainers, side end retainer, row/channel retainers and multiple small raised parallel separators upon its upper surface forming parallel rows or channels that allow coins to be retained on the card in the rows or channels and also slide slightly above the cards surface.
2 . Claim 1 ., wherein the side edge retainers and separators have small lips or flanges that allow the coins to move or slide within the small flanges slightly above the surface of the card and also overlap to a limited degree.
3 . Claim 1 ., wherein one side of the card is blocked by a small vertical edge about the same height as the raised parallel separators such the coins are retained on the card in the rows.
4 . Claim 1 ., wherein one side of the card is blocked between the side edge retainers and the parallel separators and also between the parallel separators by small inclined or sloped protrusions that help retain the coins in the rows on the card and also assist in overlapping the coins and setting the orientation of the coin overlap.
5 . Claim 1 ., wherein at least two of the raised parallel separators on the card have small flexible ears or retainers on the end of the separators adjacent to the open end of the rows/channels such that the coins are retained on the card in their respective rows/channels and yet can enter and exit the row/channels easily with a small amount of flexing movement of the ears.
6 . Claim 1 ., wherein on the open side edge of the card in the row/channels between the side edge retainers and separators and also between the separators, there are small sloped/inclined protrusions on the card surface that retain the coins in the row/channels and yet allow the coins to enter and exit the row/channels easily by virtue of the flexibility of the card and/or separators.
7 . Claim 1 , wherein the rectangular card, side edge retainers, side end retainer and separators are of such a size to allow the card with coins to be easily contained and carried within a wallet, billfold or small purse.
8 . A flat thin rectangular wallet, billfold or purse coin holding card which has small raised parallel flexible retainers forming a series of rows or channels on the surface of the card that allow coins to be retained on the card and also slide on the card with a small amount of finger pressure.
9 . Claim 8 ., wherein rows or channels are blocked on one end to retain the coins on the card while the other end of the rows/channels are open except for small protrusions or lips on the ends of the parallel retainers to assist in holding and retaining the coins in the channel/rows on the card and yet allow coins to enter and exit with a small amount of finger pressure.
10 . Claim 8 wherein the card and separators are of such a size to allow the card with coins to be easily be carried and contained within a wallet, billfold, or small purse.
11 . Claim 8 wherein the parallel retainers that form the rows/channels are such that the retained coins can partly overlap each other if desired.
12 . A flat thin rectangular coin holding card that has small raised parallel separator retainers on opposing sides, top and bottom, of the card that form rows/channels on either side of the card such that coins can retained in an overlapping manner and yet easily be moved slightly above the common surface of the card within the channel/rows or into and out of the channel/rows.
13 . Claim 12 ., wherein one end of the channel/row is blocked and the other end has a small flexing retainer on the end separator or small a inclined protrusion that allow coins to enter and exit the channel/row and card.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
