ABSTRACT:
A card holder for housing, for example, plastic patient identification cards which have on them vital patient information and tabbys, i.e., tabs which have on them room or bed numbers and which normally are adhesively affixed to the card holder is fabricated of metal, preferably stainless steel, and is of a size substantially corresponding to the size of the identification card to be removably supported by it. Being of metal, the useful life of the card holder is far greater than those of plastic. The card holder has parallel side edges, each of which has at least one and preferably two upstanding stops integrally formed therewith, which stops have a height substantially corresponding to the thickness of the identification card. These upstanding stops prevent lateral movement of the identification card with respect to the card holder. In addition, a generally L-shaped retainer is integrally formed with each of the parallel top and bottom edges of the card holder, and these L-shaped retainers form slots for receiving therein the upper and lower edges of the identification card to effectively secure the identification card in and affixed against movement to the card holder. A tab portion also is integrally formed with the top edge of the card holder, and indicia such as a room or bed number is permanently embossed on this tab portion, thus eliminating the need for adhesively affixed tabbys and the like. Preferably a support tab is fixedly secured beneath the tab portion on its backside to support the tab portion during imprinting, so that a clear print of the embossed indicia is provided. A semi-circular cut-out in at least one side edge of the card holder is provided to assist in removing the identification card from the card holder.
