ABSTRACT:
A business card carousel index system having a housing comprised of a base and a lid. The housing encloses a carousel to which business cards are mounted. The carousel is attached through support and placement arms through the lid and a base so that operation of the lid will alter the distance between the carousel and the base. In use, a business card may be punched utilizing a flexing device located at the front of the housing, after which the punched card may be placed upon rings on the carousel. When a user wishes to access the cards contained within the housing, the lid of the housing is lifted thereby elevating the carousel above the base of the housing, so that rotational movement will be allowed. When the lid is closed, the carousel is lowered and the business cards are divided into two substantially planar arrays which allow for a reduced profile of the height which can be placed within a briefcase, while at the same time allowing for a carousel type action when the carousel is elevated above the base of the housing.
