Abstract
A holder device for cards and/or bank notes includes a housing that is open at the top, which has a base, wherein the base has upwardly projecting, spaced apart side sections, wherein the side sections, together with the base, form a slot compartment for cards at least in sections, and wherein a cover is pivotally connected to the housing or to a side section. Preferably many cards and bank notes can be accommodated in the housing, wherein the cover can generally be closed without any issues, wherein the cover or a part of the cover can be flexed by 4%-15% at least in regions along its width and/or length.

- A holder device for cards and/or banknotes, comprising an upwardly open housing (1) which has a base (2), wherein the base (2) has upwardly projecting side webs (3, 4) arranged at a distance from one another, wherein the side webs (3, 4) together with the base (2) at least in sections form an insertion compartment for cards, and wherein a cover (7) is pivotably connected to the housing (1) or to a side web (3), wherein the cover (7) or a part of the cover (7) is flexibly expandable in its width and/or length at least in regions by 4% to 15%.
2:
- The holder device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the cover (7) or a part of the cover (7) is designed to be flexible by means of recesses (8) formed in or on it in such a way that it is expandable in its width and/or length at least in regions by 4% to 15%.
3:
- The holder device as claimed in claim, wherein the length (10) of a broad side of the cover (7) or of an outer layer (7a) of the cover (7) in the unloaded state can be brought into a length (11) in the expanded state that is 4% to 15% greater than the length (10) in the unloaded state.
4:
- The holder device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the recesses (8) form a net-like structure.
5:
- The holder device as claimed in claim 4, wherein the net-like structure is formed by recesses (8) and webs (8a), wherein the webs (8a) separate the recesses (8) from one another at least in regions.
6:
- The holder device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the cover (7) has a pocket (7c) for accommodating coins (12).
7:
- The holder device as claimed in claim 6, wherein the pocket (7c) is arranged on the inner side of the cover (7) and formed by an outer layer (7a) of the cover (7) and an inner layer (7b), which are connected to each other, with an insertion opening (7d) for coins (12) being provided.
8:
- The holder device as claimed in claim 7, wherein the outer layer (7a) and the inner layer (7b) are connected to each other by a yarn (13) or an elastic yarn.
9:
- The holder device as claimed in claim 7, wherein the inner layer (7b) has an insertion-side edge tongue (13a) which is movable and/or reversibly foldable away or back relative to a remaining region (13b) of the inner layer (7b) by means of at least one slot-like cutout (14) such that an insertion opening (7d) for coins (12) can be enlarged.
10:
- The holder device as claimed in claim 7, wherein the inner layer (7b) has an insertion-side edge tongue (13a) which is movable and/or foldable away or back relative to a remaining region (13a) of the inner layer (7b) by means of two opposite slot-like cutouts (14) such that an insertion opening (7d) for coins (12) can be enlarged.
11:
- The holder device as claimed in claim 2, wherein at least one clip (5) is provided which engages from above into the upwardly open housing (1), wherein, if neither cards nor banknotes are located in the housing (1), the at least one clip (5) is located partially between the side webs (3, 4) and extends with a free end at least approximately as far as the base (2).
12:
- The holder device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the side webs (3, 4) have different heights and/or wherein the height of a first side web (3) is greater than the height of a second side web (4) such that banknotes and/or cards can project beyond the first side web (4) with a lower height out of the housing (1).
