Abstract
Abstract An improved name card case includes a loose-leaf type partition disposed between the respective recesses of the first case cover and the second case cover. The partition has a trigger portion and a hook. The partition has a front action plate facing the first case cover. The front action plate is configured to have a shallow depression for receiving a main frame of the calculator. The first case cover is also provided with a notch, and the second case cover is provided with a supporting column and a curved guide portion. By means of the partition having the calculator thereon, the name card case is divided into two parts. The partition is also used to position the name cards in the first case cover. When the partition is pulled down, the calculator thereon may be used, and the name cards in the second case cover may be smoothly guided out of the case.
