Abstract
The present invention is a personal object holding device having an outer housing device having several separating walls inside the housing to form card holding chambers. The card holding chambers are sized to accommodate objects approximating the size of object such as credit cards, identification cards, drivers licenses and bank cards. The object holding device has at least one biasing member positioned on one of the separating walls for each of the chambers to hold the objects positioned in the chambers firmly in place. The personal object holding device further includes an ejection mechanism positioned within the housing which is used to urge the object positioned in the chamber out when desired.

A personal object holding device comprising:
- an outer housing having a plurality of separating walls positioned therein, said walls forming a plurality of card holding chambers sized to accommodate an object approximating the size of a credit card;
- at least one biasing member positioned on one of said separating walls for each chamber wherein said biasing member creates a biasing tension against an object positioned in said chamber to hold said object in place;
- and
- an ejection mechanism positioned in said housing to urge said object from each said chamber, said ejection mechanism including at least one push plate slidably positioned within said each chamber, said plate aligned so as to be substantially co-planar with a card positioned within said chamber, and at least one push element slidably extending from a top surface of the housing to bottom surface of the housing, said push element slidable within a groove in said housing, whereby said push element is moved to contact said push plate to push the card out of said chamber.
A card holder comprising:
- an outer housing having a plurality of separating walls positioned therein, said walls forming a plurality of card holding chambers that are sized to accommodate a card the size of a credit card;
- at least one biasing member positioned on one of the separating walls for each chamber, said biasing member extending from a first separating wall of said chamber to an adjacent second separating wall of said chamber, wherein said biasing member creates a biasing tension against a card positioned in said chamber to hold the card in place;
- an ejection mechanism having at least one push plate slidably positioned within said each chamber and aligned co-planar with a card positioned within said chamber;
- at least one push element attached to said push plate extending from a top surface of said push plate and through the top of said housing, said push element sliding within a groove in said housing, whereby said push rod can be slidably moved in said groove to move said push plate to push the card out of said chamber;
- and
- an actuation button attached to an end of said at least one push element exterior said housing.
