Wallet

Claim 2

A wallet for carrying currency of various denominations together with a plurality of credit cards, said wallet comprising: a pair of at least partially resilient foldable rectangular planar members having relatively larger length and smaller width dimensions greater than the dimensions of said currency, each said planar member having inner and outer faces respectively with the inner faces of said members adapted to normally be maintained in near abutment, the members in combination being foldable lengthwise along central fold lines so that the outer face of one of the planar members is concealed in said folded configuration; a plurality of slit pockets arranged in the outer face of said one of the planar members, the openings of said slit pockets being disposed generally parallel to the widthwise dimension of said one rectangular member, said slit pockets being disposed on each side of the fold line with the openings of said slit pockets disposed toward said fold line; and strap means joining lengthwise lateral edges of the respective planar members disposed oppositely when the inner faces of the planar members are in near abutment so that the currency of high and low denominations respectively can be disposed against the respective inner faces of the members and retained thereagainst by the strap means and a plurality of credit cards can be located in the slit pockets and are concealed when the planar members are maintained in their folded configuration.

Claim 3

A wallet as recited in claim 1 wherein the strap means includes a generally x-shaped strap joining one lengthwise edge of one said planar member with the oppositely disposed edge of the other planar member, said x-shaped strap being centrally disposed in the lengthwise direction, and a pair of elongate straps disposed on opposite sides of x-shaped strap and joining the other lengthwise lateral edge of said one planar member to the oppositely disposed edge of the other planar member.

Claim 4

A wallet as recited in claim 2 wherein the outwardly disposed edges of the elongate straps are radiused to minimize tearing of the currency.

Claim 5

A wallet as recited in claim 1 and additionally comprising a coin purse disposed on the outer face of the other planar member so that said coin purse is exposed when the planar members are maintained in their folded configuration.

Claim 6

A wallet as recited in claim 1 and additionally comprising key and stamp pockets disposed on the outer face of said one planar member so that the key and stamp pockets are concealed when the planar members are maintained in the folded configuration.

Claim 7

A wallet for carrying currency of various denominations together with a plurality of credit cards, said wallet comprising: a pair of at least partially resilient foldable rectangular members having relatively larger length and smaller width dimensions greater than the dimensions of said currency, said planar members having inner and outer faces respectively with the inner faces of said members adapted to normally be maintained in near abutment, the members in combination being foldable lengthwise along central fold lines so that the outer face of one of the planar members is concealed in said folded configuration; a plurality of slit pockets arranged in the outer face of said one of the planar members, the openings of said slit pocket being disposed generally parallel to the widthwise dimension of said one rectangular member, such slit pockets being disposed on each side of the fold line of said one rectangular member with the openings of said slit pockets disposed towards said fold line; a generally x-shaped strap joining one lengthwise edge of said planar member with the oppositely disposed edge of the other planar member when the inner faces of the planar members are in near abutment; and a pair of elongate straps disposed on opposite sides of the x-shaped strap and joining the other lengthwise lateral edge of said one planar member to the edge of the other planar member oppositely disposed when the inner faces of the planar members are in near abutment, the outwardly disposed edges of the elongate straps being radiused to minimize tearing of the currency, so that the currency of high and low denominations respectively can be disposed against the respective inner faces of the members and retained thereagainst by the x-shaped strap and the elongate straps and a plurality of credit cards can be located in the slit pockets and are concealed when the planar members are maintained in their folded configuration.

Claim 8

A wallet for carrying currency of various denominations together with a plurality of credit cards, said wallet comprising: a pair of at least partially resilient foldable rectangular members having relatively larger length and smaller width dimensions greater than the dimensions of said currency, said planar members having inner and outer faces respectively with the inner faces of said members adapted to normally be maintained in near abutment, the members in combination being foldable lengthwise along central fold lines so that the outer face of one of the planar members is concealed in said folded configuration; a plurality of slit pockets arranged in the outer face of said one of the planar members, the openings of said slit pocket being disposed generally parallel to the widthwise dimension of said one rectangular member, such slit pockets being disposed on each side of the fold line of said one rectangular member with the openings of said slit pockets disposed towards said fold line; a generally x-shaped strap joining one lengthwise edge of said planar member with the oppositely disposed edge of the other planar member when the inner faces of the planar members are in near abutment; and a pair of elongate straps disposed on opposite sides of the x-shaped strap and joining the other lengthwise lateral edge of said one planar member to the edge of the other planar member oppositely disposed when the inner faces of the planar members are in near abutment, the outwardly disposed edges of the elongate straps being radiused to minimize tearing of the currency, so that the currency of high and low denominations respectively can be disposed against the respective inner faces of the members and retained thereagainst by the x-shaped strap and the elongate straps and a plurality of credit cards can be located in the slit pockets and are concealed when the planar members are maintained in their folded configuration.
