US 5,308,308 A · Method of cardholder and pocket construction

Abstract

A card display pocket formed of three sheets of fusible material. The first sheet is a nylon/vinyl material that is slit one way to receive the second sheet of a frosty vinyl material which may be slit a different way from the first sheet to form specially designed pockets and woven through the first sheet of material, over the front side of the first sheet of material and under the back side of the first sheet of material. The third sheet is a plain vinyl that is used for a backing. The method of construction is as follows: In a sheet of nylon/vinyl material slits are made lengthwise or widthwise through the material so that they are either generally parallel to each other or generally perpendicular to each other. Translucent vinyl material, is then interwoven through these slits in order to form the desired pockets. The card pocket with curved sides is especially desirable for applications where a card is frequently accessed. A portion of frosty vinyl material is left on the vinyl side of the nylon-vinyl material. That material is then fused to the vinyl side of the nylon-vinyl material and to a third sheet of opaque vinyl material which forms a complete seal and lines the pocket assembly and strengthens the pocket.

Dependent claims

A method for constructing a pocket assembly that is to be used in an item for holding cards, from a first sheet of fusible material having a front side and a back side and a second sheet of fusible material having a front side and a back side, said method comprising:

a first step in which slits of a length at least equal to one dimension of the second sheet of fusible material are made through said first sheet of fusible material;
a second step in which said second sheet of fusible material is slid through said slits, with the back side of said second sheet of fusible material facing and passing over said front side of said first sheet of fusible material and with the front side of said second sheet of fusible material facing and passing under said back side of said first sheet of fusible material at least one time, and at least one portion of the front side of said second sheet of fusible material being in contact with a portion of said back side of said first sheet of fusible material;
and
a third step in which said portion of said second sheet of fusible material in contact with said portion of said back side of said first sheet of fusible material is fused to said portion of said back side of said first sheet of fusible material so that interior pockets of the pocket assembly are produced.
