  • CARD WITH EDGE INDICATORS
    Publication number: 20140259838
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to cards that comprise indicators on the edge of the card stock to help identify the card. The indicators may be projections on the edge of the card stock formed by ridges, grooves, dimples, burrs, protrusions, or other like projections that provide at least a portion of the edge of the card stock with a textured surface. A user may identify the card by viewing the projections or touching the projections on the edge of the card stock, and identifying the type of projections, height of the projections, or the spacing of the projections on the edge of the card stock. The ability to identify the card stock simply through touch may be useful to visually impaired users for differentiating between types of cards that may otherwise be difficult to identify without projections.
