Abstract
Money holding devices (e.g., clips) configured to move from a closed configuration to an open configuration by applying a force to a portion of one arm of the clip that is wider than a corresponding portion of another arm of the clip.
Claims20
A money holding device comprising:
- a first member having a first end, a second end, and opposing protrusions across
- which is at least one width;
- a second member having:
- a first end extending beyond the first end of the first member;
- a second end;
- and
- a portion having at least one width that is less than the at least one width of the first member;
- and
- a connector coupling the second end of the first member to the second end of the second member, the connector being coupled to the second end of the first member at an interior angle greater than 90 degrees and the connector being coupled to the second end of the second member at an interior angle greater than 90 degrees, the connector configured to bias at least one of the first and second members toward the other of the first and second members to define a closed configuration;
- where the device can be moved into an open configuration by applying a force to the opposing protrusions of the first member at a position corresponding to the portion of the second member having at least one width that is less than the at least one width of the first member.
