Abstract: A cassette having a drawer composed of a rigid support shelf and one or two data cards mounted to the shelf, and a rigid cassette case having sides defining a slot at a front end in the case for edgewise insertion of the drawer into the case. The drawer has at least one and preferably two holes at a front end therein coinciding with notches in sides of the case. A boss on either the drawer or the case is received by a groove in the other when the cassette is closed, thereby forming a detent. A second boss and groove may be provided on the opposite side. Each data card may be composed of a thin backing sheet adhered to the shelf, a strip of laser recording material disposed on the backing sheet and a transparent scratch-resistant plastic cover disposed over the strip.

Abstract: A portable pocket-size card holding device includes a holder capable of holding a plurality of cards. The holder comprises a pair of spaced floor and top members, laterally spaced side members extending between the floor and top members, and an end member extending between a first set of ends of the floor, top and side members so that the one end of the holder is closed off and its other end is open, with the members defining between them a cavity. Spaced channels are provided along the top and floor members. The channels are located inside the cavity and extend substantially parallel to one another, with the channels of the top member being aligned with those of the bottom members so that, in use, cards in the holder will extend substantially parallel to the side members. Each pair of channels in the top and floor members provides a card receiving zone capable of accommodating a single card.

Abstract: A container for use in holding receipts or the like comprises a hollow body formed of contiguous bottom, front, rear, and opposed side panels, and a cover integrally hinged to the top of the rear panel which is divided into contiguous top and front portions by a second integral hinge spaced parallel to the integrally hinged juncture of the cover with the rear panel. The cover is pivotal about its hinged juncture with the rear panel and the top and front portions of the cover are pivotal about the second integral hinge. A retaining tab integral with the front portion of the cover is adapted to engage the interior surface of the front panel of the body when the cover is closed and is disengaged therefrom upon upward and pivotal outward movement of the cover. A lifting tab integral with the front portion facilitates opening and closing of the cover. A fabric fastener on the exterior surface of the rear panel allows the container to be releasably attached to other objects for placement at a convenient location.

Abstract: The instant invention is a one piece, transparent plastic, hollow cube having a slot on top for receiving a conventional credit card. The slot is such that it forces the card to deform slightly while passing there through, so that the card can not be removed without shattering the cube.

Abstract: A retainer (A) for a card, especially ID-card, having a bottom plate (1) and thereto applied or formed opposite edges (2, 3), which are formed with slots (2a, 3a) and the bottom parts (2a', 3a') of which are intended to guide opposite edge portions (4, 5) of the card when the card is moved into said retainer. Between said edges (2,3) one or more means (6,7) are arranged to give the card a curvature between the edges. Said means (6,7) is in the form of two parallel ridges formed in the bottom plate (1) and said ridges (6,7) are omitted at certain portions (8,9). Said portion (8,9) is adjacent but at a distance from stop means (10,10a11,11a) in the retainer for the movement of the card (B). Said stop means (10,11) for the card is in the form of a rim having a central notch or recess (10a) and between the stop means and the portion are, in the direction of movement for the card, arranged wedge formed ridges (6a,7a).

Abstract: An identifier such as a strip of heat resistant metal, containing preselected identifying information in the form of an alpha-numeric serial number is concealingly retained in a carrier member. The carrier member has a preselected shape and configuration adapted for releasable engagement to a structure, such as an item of personal property, to be identified by information such as the alpha-numeric serial number to disclose in a concealed manner ownership of the structure. In one manner of use, the carrier is an integral part of the structure to prevent visual detection of the carrier on the structure by a thief. The carrier member includes in one embodiment an amorphous body with the metal strip identifier encapsulated within the amorphous body. The amorphous body is indistinguishably attached to an item of personal property or the like, which ownership is identified by the information inscribed on the metal strip and is concealed on the item.

Abstract: The subject matter relates to a blank check system which includes a stack of check blanks stacked in dispenser of plastic material. Each check blank has two parts connected at a fold line; the upper part being a blank check and the lower part being a duplicate or record portion. Upon partial withdrawal of the uppermost check blank from the frame to a predetermined position, the amount of the check being drawn may be entered and the remaining balance in the account may be inscribed on the next-succeeding check blank. The check may be fully withdrawn for completion, and the balance entered will be shown on the topmost remaining check blank to thereby provide a self-reconciling system of writing checks which automatically keeps a running balance.

Abstract: A card storage and dispensing device for business cards comprises a cabinet, having a lower storage drawer with front and back triangular reinforcing pieces, provides open, center sides for finger engagement with the edges of cards.

A forward portion of the top wall has a depending ledge preventing discharge of cards rearwardly therepast. A first removable bottom wall is supported by cabinet, side wall ledges, a spring one such wall resiliently urges a second removable wall, and cards thereon, upwardly and into frictional engagement with the bottom of the cabinet top wall. The bottom of such second wall carries a depending ledge engaging and removing the spring with its removal.
