Abstract
A wallet including a single strip of material including a plurality of oppositely folded and integrally attached panels which extend in directions opposite the adjacent panels to provide a series of outwardly opening paper currency receiving compartments. A closure, integral with at least one of the panels, is detachably coupled to one of the endmost panels in the stack.

A paper currency storage wallet comprising:
- a zig-zag strip of material including
- a plurality of flexible panels, each of said panels having an front upstream end and a rear down-stream end joined to a rear down-stream end and a front upstream end, respectively, of an immediately preceding upstream panel and an immediately succeeding down-stream adjacent panel, respectively;
- each of said flexible panels extending down-stream in a direction opposite the down-stream direction of each of said immediately preceding upstream panel and each of said immediately succeeding down-stream panels to provide a series of longitudinally spaced-apart, transversely outwardly opening currency receiving compartments;
- alternate ones of said currency receiving compartments opening in opposite transverse directions;
- a plurality of money clips provided at the junctions of said front upstream ends and said down-stream ends of said panels;
- and
- closure means, integral with at least one of said panels, for detachably coupling at least said one panel to another down-stream one of said panels other than the panel immediately next succeeding said one panel.
A multiple fold paper currency storage wallet comprising:
- a plurality of inter-coupled, confronting panels including a pair of end panels and a plurality of intermediate panels sandwiched between said end panels;
- each of said plurality of intermediate panels having
- one end coupled to an adjacent end of an adjacent confronting panel on one side thereof and
- an opposite end coupled to an adjacent end of an adjacent confronting panel on the opposite side thereof;
- one of said end-most panels having first fastener means thereon;
- one of said intermediate panels having a tab cut therefrom but integrally coupled thereto along a portion thereof and extending outwardly and around said plurality of panels;
- and
- second fastener means formed complementally to said first fastener means on said tab for detachably coupling said one intermediate panel to said one end panel.
A wallet comprising:
- a one-piece elongate sheet of material extending in a zig-zag course to provide a plurality of sheet sections integrally joined to adjacent sheet sections at a plurality of folded junctions to define a plurality of open-ended bill compartments which are open-ended alternately in opposite directions for receiving separate stacks of folded currency therein;
- said plurality of sheet sections including two opposite end sheet sections and a plurality of intermediate sheet sections sandwiched between said two opposite end sections;
- and
- cooperating fastener means on said two opposite end sheet sections for detachably coupling said two opposite end sheet sections together to preclude separation thereof.
A wallet comprising:
- a one piece sheet of material folded over on itself in opposite directions along its length to provide a plurality of sheet sub-sections joined to adjacent sheet sub-sections along folded edge portions;
- said plurality of sheet sub-sections including a pair of end sheet sub-sections and a plurality of intermediate sheet sub-sections sandwiched there-between;
- and
- cooperating fastener means coupled to one of said end sheet sub-section and to one of said intermediate sheet sub-sections for detachably securing said one end sheet sub-section to said one intermediate sub-sheet section and preclude spreading movement thereof.
A wallet comprising:
- a stack of sheets, having opposite ends and opposite faces, of pre-determined length and width disposed in stacked relation;
- one end of each sheet being coupled to one adjacent end of a sheet adjacent one of its faces;
- the other end of each sheet being coupled to the other end of a sheet adjacent the other one of its faces;
- said stack of sheets including a pair of opposite end sheets and a plurality of intermediate sheets disposed there-between;
- one of said intermediate sheets having a flap cut therefrom which flap remains integral with said one intermediate sheet along only one end of said flap;
- said flap including a free terminal end, opposite said one end of said flap, which extends around and confronts one of said end sheets;
- and
- cooperating fastener means on said flap and said one end sheet detachably coupled together.
A multi-compartment wallet having a plurality of separate compartments for storing a plurality of paper currencies of different denominations, said wallet comprising:
- a single sheet of flexible material including
- first and second opposite end panels, and
- a plurality of integral intermediate panels disposed between and integrally coupled to, said first and second end panels in a zig-zag fashion to define a plurality of open-ended currency receiving compartments there-between,
- alternate ones of said compartments being open-ended in opposite directions;
- one of said intermediate panels including a closure flap cut therefrom and coupled to said one intermediate panel along only one end of said flap and having an opposite terminal free end disposed in confronting relation with one of said end panels;
- and
- fastener means detachably coupling said terminal free end and said one end panel.
A wallet comprising:
- an elongate strip of flexible material, having front and rear ends, folded along its length at a plurality of longitudinally spaced apart junctions to provide a series of successive integral panels between said junctions;
- each of said panels having front and rear ends integrally coupled to the rear and front ends, respectively, of each immediately preceding panel and each immediately succeeding panel, respectively, in said series of successive integral panels;
- each of said panels extending down-stream in a direction opposite the down-stream direction of each of said immediately, preceding and immediately succeeding panels to provide a series of longitudinally spaced apart, alternately oppositely transversely outwardly opening currency receiving compartments;
- a money clip mounted on said strip at each of said junctions;
- each of said clips including a portion extending into one of said compartments for detachably receiving paper currency between said portion and said junctions;
- and
- closure means for detachably coupling at lease one of said panels to one of the remaining panels other than the panels immediately preceding and succeeding said one panel.
A multiple fold paper currency storage wallet comprising:
- a plurality of inter-coupled adjacent, confronting panels with confronting faces to form a stack, said confronting panels including a pair of end panels and a plurality of intermediate panels sandwiched there-between,
- each of said intermediate panels having one end coupled to an adjacent end of an adjacent confronting panel on one side thereof and an opposite end coupled to an adjacent end of an adjacent panel confronting the opposite side thereof;
- one of said end panels at one end of said stack of panels having first fastener means;
- the other of said end panels at the other end of said stack having an integral extension flap for folding over said one end most panel;
- second fastener means on said extension formed complemental to said first fastener means for detachably coupling said extension flap to said one end most panel.
