  • Patent number: 11311086
    Abstract: Disclosed is a holder for cards, including a housing which tightly fits around a stack of cards and has a card opening for locating and removing cards. Within the housing a finger button operated ejector arm is provided such that the cards through the card opening can be partly slid from the housing. The ejector arm is designed such that a distal part of it further away from its rotation point is at an initial distance to the cards stack while a proximal part of it closer to its rotation point engages the cards stack and by further rotation of the ejector arm to its extended position the distal part starts engaging the cards stack due to cancelling of this distance.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a holder for cards, including a housing which tightly fits around a stack of cards and has a card opening for locating and removing cards. Within the housing a card eject feature is provided such that the cards through the card opening can be partly slid from the housing. The card eject feature has an ejector arm which is moved by operating a finger button and forces the cards simultaneously to partly exit the housing. The card eject feature includes a barrel for normal duty operation and a trigger for heavy duty operation to engage and force cards to partly exit the housing.

  • Patent number: 10765188
    Abstract: Disclosed is a wallet comprising two shell halves which are associated by a rigid spine to open and close the wallet, and containing a bunch of keys, anchored to the wallet. The wallet is biased to the open position by a pre tensioned skin which covers windows in the two shell halves. The skin allows temporary outward bulging by elasticity, and immediately springs back into the initial unloaded state at the time the bulging load is removed.

  • Publication number: 20200178657
    Abstract: A holder for cards, comprising a housing which tightly fits around a stack of at least three cards and has a card opening for locating and removing cards. Within the housing, opposite the card opening, a card eject feature is provided such that the cards through the card opening can be partly slid from the housing. At the inner side of the housing a friction element is located to provide the cards a stable position inside the housing. The friction element has a layered structure comprising a felt layer and a latex layer backing the felt layer. The felt layer provides a fiber surface structure for engagement with the cards within the holder. The latex layer has a thickness of at least 0.25 millimeter.

  • Patent number: 10306963
    Abstract: A holder for cards, including a housing (1) which tightly fits around a stack of at least three cards (2) and has at least one card opening (3) for locating and removing cards, while opposite the card opening (3) within the housing a card eject feature is provided such that the cards through the card opening (3) can be partly slid from the housing, which card eject feature is designed to move within the housing between a first and a second position and during the movement forces the cards to partly exit the housing. The holder has a feature to avoid jamming of the card eject feature while engaging the cards stack and forcing them to exit the housing, preferably allows the jamming element to deflect, e.g. since the jamming element keeps a sufficient gap.

  • Patent number: 8899411
    Abstract: A holder for cards, including a housing which tightly fits around a stack of at least three cards and has at least one card opening to locate and remove cards, while opposite the card opening in the housing there is a card remove feature through which the cards through the card opening can be slid out the housing, characterized in that at the inner side of the housing near the card opening at least one side a friction element is provided which exerts a friction force to the bearing side of each individual card which is at least partly contained in the housing, with the result that the card has such a stable position relative to the housing, that the card can not slide due to gravity, but indeed due to a with the finger tips exerted force.

  • Publication number: 20120069696
    Abstract: Paint stirrer with an elongate narrow main shape, which under the action of gravity can stably stand in a diagonal position in a paint can without the need to Mount it to the edge of the can, characterised in that the brush can be stably supported relative to the paint stirrer in such a manner that the brush hairs extend substantially parallel to the paint stirrer and downward above or in the opening of the can. This offers the advantage that paint rests flowing out the brush, stay inside the can.

  • Patent number: 7328946
    Abstract: A chassis which is suitable for supporting a child vehicle seat is provided with a frame as well as with connectors that can be detachably connected in use to securing elements that are present in a vehicle. The chassis is further provided with an unlocking mechanism for releasing the engagement between the connector and the securing element. The chassis is provided with a slide for supporting the child vehicle seat, which slide is movable with respect to the frame from a first position, in which the slide is positioned at a relatively large distance from the connector, to a second position, in which the slide is positioned closer to the connector. The slide is locked against movement from the second position to the first position when at least one connector is connected to the securing element.

  • Patent number: 6026873
    Abstract: Box-shaped holder for credit cards or similar products, provided with a front wall (10), two side walls (12, 14) perpendicular to the front wall, a bottom wall (16) which is perpendicular to the side walls but makes an angle of less than 90.degree. with the front wall (10) and an essentially rectangular rear wall (18). The rear wall is able to hinge about a hinge (20) wich runs paralell to the bottom wall in such a way that the top edge of the rear wall moves away from the top edge of the front wall, and vice versa. Furthermore, one section (22) of the rear wall (18) is able to hinge about a hinge (24) located in the rear wall, which hinge runs parallel to the bottom wall in such a way that the edge of the section which faces the bottom wall moves towards the front wall, and vice versa. Furthermore, the holder comprises a spring (26) which pretensions the section (27) of the rear wall in the direction of the hinge movement described above.
