Abstract:
1. A portable card holder, generally in the form of a plate, the card holder having a generally completely exposed first face and a generally completely exposed second face, ledge means extending outwardly from and around at least some peripheral parts of the first and second faces, part of the ledge means having flange means arranged such that the flange means cantilevers across a minor part of the first and second faces; the card holder being formed such that when it is in use a pair of substantially planar cards, each card approximately the shape and size of a standard credit card, can be snugly fitted to the card holder so that one of the cards is adjacent the first face and the other of the cards is adjacent the second face, the card holder formed so that the cards are able to be so fitted by passing each card over a respective part of the ledge means and under a respective part of the flange means so that the cards are blocked from inadvertent withdrawal from the card holder by the ledge means, and wherein when the cards are so fitted a main face of each card is generally completely exposed; the card holder having an exposed attachment aperture suitable for receiving means which attaches the card holder to the body of a person when the card holder is in use; the card holder having a vacant cutaway portion proceeding from an edge of the holder into the first and second faces of the holder and arranged such that edge parts of the cards, when fitted as described in this claim, are not bordered by the ledge means and do not have any of the card holder between them so as to facilitate ready grasping and removal of the cards from the holder when the holder is in use.
