ABSTRACT:
A playing card holder is described in which two plates with diverging inner surfaces extend upward from a base section. The two plates diverge from each other within an angular range of about 1.degree.-8.degree., and preferably about 3.degree.-5.degree., to form a tapered slot within which the playing cards are inserted. The inner surface of each plate is lined with a layer of a flocked material, the layers being partially set into recesses in the opposed surfaces of each plate. The holder retains either a single card or a number of overlapping cards securely in place once they have been inserted into the slot, and yet permits cards to be easily removed without dislodging adjacent cards. The remote ends of the holder are provided with a compound curvature in a direction generally perpendicular to the plane of the card holder which has been found to secure the cards from casual visual observation by other players, and yet preserves the ability of a flat card holder to easily and securely manipulate the cards.
