Abstract
A card holding device comprising a hinge member having grasping members rotatably mounted along the length of the hinge member. Each of the grasping members has a hinge mounting portion and a pair of spaced, opposed gripping arms separated by a distance less than the thickness of an appropriate card. The gripping arms are sufficiently flexible to allow the edge of a card to be inserted between the arms whereupon the arms exert a clamping force to grasp and hold the card firmly in place.

A card holding device comprising a hinge member having a plurality of grasping members rotatably mounted along the length of the hinge member, each of said grasping members having a hinge mounting portion and a card receiving portion comprising a clip having a pair of spaced, opposed gripping arms separated by a distance less than the thickness of an appropriate card, said gripping arms being sufficiently flexible to allow the edge of a card to be inserted betweeen the arms whereupon the arms exert a clamping force to grasp and hold the card firmly in place.
A card holding device comprising a hinge member having a plurality of grasping members rotatably mounted along the length of the hinge member, each of said grasping members being a U-shaped member having two parallel arms and a spanning arm extending therebetween to define an interior region, said U-shaped member being connected to said hinge member by said parallel arms and rotatable about the axis of the hinge, having spaced, opposed gripping arms formed on the spanning arm connecting said two parallel arms, each of said U-shaped members being progressively smaller in size and fitting within the interior region of the previous U-shaped member.
