| US10791808 - Compact Wallet A compact wallet with rigid plates and elastic bands provides a minimal silhouette while securely holding card-like contents. The wallet features a channeling mechanism to maintain a slim profile and allow dynamic band movement. Additionally, it includes a removable auxiliary feature for enhanced functionality and secure attachment. | 1. A compact wallet, comprising: at least two rigid plates interposed to sandwich card-like contents there between, each rigid plate having a longitudinal extent; at least one encircling elastic band interposed with the at least two rigid plates along longitudinal extents thereof to bias them inwardly and securely hold the card-like contents while providing elastic volume there between for adding or removing contents; a channeling means configured to minimize the profile of the wallet and hold position of the at least one encircling elastic band with respect to each rigid plate while allowing freedom for the dynamic extension and contraction of the band over the entire running length thereof; and an auxiliary feature removably attached to at least one of the at least two rigid plates, the auxiliary feature having a tang insertable into a recess formed inside the at least two rigid plates, the tang having a hook, the hook extending at an angle to the tang, the hook engaging an undercut of the recess to prevent inadvertent dislodgement of the auxiliary feature from the recess, whereby, card-like contents may be carried with minimal silhouette on or with a person while allowing expandable capacity and ready access to individual contents from between the at least two rigid plates. |
| US11596212 - Compact Wallet A compact wallet with grooved and backing parts forms plate members for securely holding card-like contents. The wallet uses encircling elastic bands to create a resiliently expandable space between the plates. Additionally, a retention elastic band enhances exterior functionality and secure content retention. | 1. A compact wallet, comprising: a first grooved part and a first backing part, attached together to form a first plate member; a second grooved part and a second backing part, attached together to form a second plate member; at least one encircling elastic band (1) extending on a first outer side of the compact wallet from a first interior area within the first plate member, defined between the first grooved part and the first backing part, to second interior area of the second plate member on the first outer side, between the second grooved part and the second backing part, and (2) extending on a second, opposite outer side of the compact wallet from the first interior area within the first plate member, in between the first grooved part and the first backing part, to the second interior area of the second plate member on the opposite side of the second plate member, in between the second grooved part and the second backing part, the at least one encircling elastic band providing a resiliently expandable space between the first plate member and the second plate member; and a retention elastic band extending along an exterior surface of the first plate member from one end of the first plate member, in between the first grooved part and the first backing part, to an opposite end of the first plate member, in between the first grooved part and the first backing part. |
