High-capacity card holder and ejector
A three-dimensional card case including a cavity surrounded by two sidewalls, a rear wall and an opening on the side opposite the rear wall. The cards are inserted into slots at the opening of the cavity until they flush with an ejector tab at the rear wall. Each ejector tab is aligned with a pair of cards, allowing both cards to be ejected by the tab mechanism through the actuation of buttons located on the exterior of the case.
1. A holder for a plurality of wallet-sized cards, comprising:
a case, including a top piece and a bottom piece connected by two sidewalls and a rear wall, defining an interior cavity with an opening along an end of said case;
a plurality of parallel slots disposed within the side walls of the case, said slots being adapted to accommodate the wallet-size cards;
a plurality of parallel cut-out sections in the top piece of the case; and
a plurality of ejection tab assemblies, each assembly being adapted for slidable movement toward said opening of the case and including a U-shaped member having an end adapted to engage and dispense at least two cards housed in said parallel slots in the direction of said opening, wherein a notch is disposed along said end of the U-shaped member, thereby forming two card engaging surfaces, and a button connected to said U-shaped member through one of said plurality of parallel cut-out sections.
2. The holder of claim 1 , further comprising a resilient means for frictionally engaging the wallet-size cards within the case.
3. The holder of claim 2 , wherein the means for frictionally engaging said cards comprises a resilient pad disposed on a side wall.
4. The holder of claim 2 , wherein the means for frictionally engaging said cards comprises the plurality of parallel slots made from a resilient material.
5. The holder of claim 1 , wherein said notch is disposed longitudinally across the end of the U-shaped member such that slidable engagement of said member to a first point ejects a first card from said case while further slidable engagement of said member ejects a second card from said case.
6. The holder of claim 1 , wherein said button of an ejection tab assembly contains two indicia for identifying the contents of two of said parallel slots aligned with said ejection tab assembly.
7. The holder of claim 1 , further including a clip mounted to the case through slidable engagement with a groove disposed upon each of said two sidewalls.
8. The holder of claim 7 , wherein said clip is detachable.
9. A holder for a plurality of wallet-sized cards, comprising:
a case, including a top piece and a bottom piece connected by two sidewalls and a rear wall, defining an interior cavity with an opening along an end of said case;
a plurality of parallel slots disposed within the side walls of the case, said slots being adapted to accommodate the wallet-size cards in direct slidable arrangement within said slots;
a plurality of parallel cut-out sections in the top piece of the case; and
a plurality of ejection tab assemblies, each assembly being adapted for slidable movement toward said opening of the case and including a U-shaped member having an end adapted to engage and dispense at least two cards housed in said parallel slots in the direction of said opening, wherein a notch is disposed along said end of the U-shaped member, thereby forming two card engaging surfaces, and a button connected to said U-shaped member through one of said plurality of parallel cut-out sections.
10. The holder of claim 9 , further comprising a resilient means for frictionally engaging the wallet-size cards within the case.
11. The holder of claim 10 , wherein the means for frictionally engaging said cards comprises the plurality of parallel slots made from a resilient material.
12. The holder of claim 10 , wherein the means for frictionally engaging said cards comprises a resilient pad disposed on a side wall.
13. The holder of claim 9 , wherein said notch is disposed longitudinally across the end of the U-shaped member such that slidable engagement of said member to a first point ejects a first card from said case while further slidable engagement of said member ejects a second card from said case.
14. The holder of claim 9 , wherein said button of an ejection tab assembly contains two indicia for identifying the contents of two of said parallel slots aligned with said ejection tab assembly.
15. The holder of claim 9 , further including a clip mounted to the case through slidable engagement with a groove disposed upon each of said two sidewalls.
16. The holder of claim 15 , wherein said clip is detachable.
