ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a pocket-size container for metal coins.
BACKGROUND OF THE PRIOR ART
It is known that it is not always easy to keep and carry metal coins particularly if there are a large number of them. In fact because money of a high value is always in the form of a bank note, there is always the tendency to use wallets which provide for a suitable seat for the bank notes, as well as other further seats for credit cards and similar documents.
In the greater number of cases there is also provided a seat for the coins, which in general may be closed by means of a snap button but this seat necessarily offers dimensions which are somewhat reduced. In this manner the quantity of coins which may be lodged in the seat is necessarily limited. In addition, even if one inserts a limited number of coins this seat inevitably has a tendency to enlarge itself, a fact which causes problems both for closing the wallet and also for closing the same seat by means of the button. In fact, there are still used coinholders which consist of objects in the form of a small pocket or a small bag, in which the coins are placed. However their use at present is rather reduced also because the user should bring both the wallet and the coinholder, with obvious problems of space and practicality of use. Naturally it is possible to lodge the coins simply disorderly and with confusion in a pocket, in a bag or similar articles but this result is not practical because in this manner it is very difficult to remove the coins at the time when the coins should effectively be used.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The object of the present invention is to provide a device which allows orderly lodging of a certain number of metal coins while avoiding the drawbacks described hereinabove.
This object is achieved according to the invention by providing a structure which has the shape and dimensions of the normal credit card, debit card or similar documents, with a plurality of recesses, the structure allowing the insertion in each of the recesses of a coin according to measure. In each of the recesses there are provided means for keeping the coins in the recesses, unless a specific effort is made for the extraction from the recess by applying a pressure on the face of the first coin inserted in the recess.
In fact the user has the inclination for an object which has the shape of a card, the object being lodged with no difficulty in a pocket or in the seat of credit card documents which are normally provided in the wallet.
In the dependent claims there are described particular forms of achievement of the invention capable of making it particularly useful and effective for the user.
