Card holding device

A portable pocket-size card-holding device, which includes

• a holder capable of holding a plurality of cards, the holder comprising a plurality of members interconnected to define between them a cavity having a plurality of card-receiving zones each capable of accommodating a single card;
• and
• warning means for emitting a warning signal on removal of a card from the holder, the warning means comprising a switch associated with each of the card-receiving zones and adapted to be activated automatically on removal of a card from one of the zones;
• an electrically operable warning device;
• electric circuitry interconnecting switches and the warning device;
• and
• a power source for the circuitry.

A portable pocket-size card holding device with a holder capable of holding a plurality of cards, comprising

• a pair of spaced floor and top members, laterally spaced side members extending between the floor and top members, and an end member extending between a first set of ends of the floor, top and side members so that the one end of the holder being closed off and its other end being open, with the members defining between them a cavity;
• spaced channels along the top and floor members, the spaced channels being located inside the cavity and extending substantially parallel to one another, with the channels of the top member being aligned with those of the bottom members so that, in use, cards in the holder extend substantially parallel to the side members, each pair of channels in the top and floor members providing a card receiving zone capable of accommodating a single card, and all the cards being insertable into and removable from the cavity in the same direction through the open end of the holder;
• card retention means for retaining the cards in place in the holder;
• a key ring attachment fast with the holder;
• warning means for emitting a warning signal on removal of a card from the holder, said warning means comprising a switch located in at least one of the spaced channels and adapted to be activated automatically on removal of a card from the zone defined by the channels;
• an electrically operable warning device;
• electrical circuitry interconnecting the switch and the warning device;
• and a power source for the circuitry.
