Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
263 words
A wallet clamp device comprising in combination: a unitary rigid wire-like member substantially resilient and shaped into two substantially parallel first and second legs of sufficient dimensions so as to encompass an associated wallet formed by a substantially sharp rounded bend at about a mid-point along the length of the wire-like member, each of the legs extending from the rounded bend substantially linearly in a common direction and spaced apart from one-another, the first leg being of a length of a first predetermined dimension, the second leg extending a second predetermined distance substantially linearly through its length to a second end of the second leg, the second end thereof continuing in a substantially tight reversely bent circular end lying wholely between the planes formed by said legs defining an annular space thereof and thereafter angling substantially laterally transversely to the portions of the legs extending linearly and in a direction substantially toward thE first leg for a third predetermined short dimension and thereafter bending to and extending in a reverse direction forming a hook-shaped portion defining a semi-circular partial ring, the hook-like portion being positioned such that when the first leg is compressed against resilient outwardly biasing force of the second leg from the first leg in order to move the second leg toward the first leg and to maneuver a free-end of the first leg around the hook-like portion to be restrained in a closed state within the semi-circular partial ring the closed-state first and second legs are throughout their linear lengths a substantially uniform fourth predetermined distance in spacing from oneanother.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
A wallet clamp device of claim 1, in which the tight circular end extends along a plane common to that in which the rounded bend extends.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
A wallet clamp device of claim 2, in which the hook-like portion extends to form the semi-circular partial ring along a plane substantially transverse to the linearly extending first leg.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
A wallet clamp device of claim 3, in which an outer face of the semi-circular partial ring is substantially flattened at a terminal portion of the semi-circular partial ring.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
55 words
A wallet clamp device of claim 4, including a link-type chain of a fifth predetermined length dimension, and a latching means joined to one end of the link-type chain for fastening to an object, and the remaining opposite end of the link-type chain being linked to the tight circular end through the annular space thereof.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
24 words
A wallet clamp device of claim 5, in which the latching means is a u-shaped clamp slidably clampable over an edge of a belt.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
55 words
A wallet clamp device of claim 1, including a link-type chain of a fifth predetermined length dimension, and a latching means joined to one end of the link-type chain for fastening to an object, and the remaining opposite end of the link-type chain being linked to the tight circular end through the annular space thereof.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
24 words
A wallet clamp device of claim 7, in which the latching means is a u-shaped clamp slidably clampable over an edge of a belt.
