     TECHNICAL FIELD 
       [0002]    The present invention relates to a long wallet capable of keeping paper money without folding the paper money, and more particularly, to a long wallet which is capable of keeping various types and sizes of smart phones and exposing a camera of a smart phone without forming a through-hole thereon such that the easiness in use and convenience in carrying are improved. 
       BACKGROUND 
       [0003]    Currently, a wallet for carrying a credit card as well as paper money or an identification card is classified into a half or middle wallet for keeping paper money while the paper money is folded and a long wallet for keeping paper money while the paper money is unfolded. Although the middle wallet is easy to be carried, the middle wallet is folded for carrying so that the appearance is not neat. 
         [0004]    Thus, when a long wallet is used to solve the defect of the middle wallet, although the long wallet may neatly keep paper money or a credit card, the long wallet is too easily unfolded. 
         [0005]    Therefore, in recent years, a long wallet has been provided with hook means for preventing the long wallet from being open (Korean utility model unexamined publication No. 2010-0011329). 
         [0006]    Since the hook means is more effective in thickly keeping paper money or various receipts in the long wallet, such long wallets have been used specifically by housewives or women. 
         [0007]    Meanwhile, when going out, most of people carry long wallets together with smart phones, which are recently enlarged, mounted on separated cases. Thus, it is inconvenient to simultaneously carry a long wallet as well as a smart phone embedded in a case (Korean utility model registration No. 20-0263614). 
         [0008]    In recent years, a portable phone case is provided with means capable of keeping paper money or credit cards to provide a wallet function such that the portability of the portable phone case is improved, but the case cannot sufficiently exhibit the typical functions of a wallet. In addition, since various kinds of cases must be provided according to various types or sizes of smart phones, it is not greatly economical in productivity. Further, since a through-hole for using a camera is formed in the case, the concept of a portable phone case rather than a wallet is predominate so that most people do not use the case as a wallet (Korean utility model registration No. 20-0464767). 
         [0009]    That is, since the through-hole is formed in the wallet-type case according to a position of a camera or speaker of a smart phone, the concept of a case rather than a wallet is predominate so that paper money is conventionally kept in a separated wallet. 
         [0010]    In addition, since the through-hole for the camera and speaker of a smart phone and an additional receiving part for fixing the smart phone are formed in cases due to various types and sizes of smart phones, it is difficult to produce various types of cases. 
       SUMMARY 
       [0011]    Therefore, according to a long wallet of the present invention, an adhesive surface having a predetermined area is provided to an opposite side surface to one inner side surface of the long wallet in order to allow a rear surface of a smart phone to adhere to the adhesive surface, so that the long wallet can be portable while being folded up. In addition, the smart phone may be used after the long wallet is unfolded and the screen locking is released. Since the adhesive surface to which the smart phone is attached is able to slide up or down, when the smart phone is allowed to move up to use the camera of the smart phone, the camera can be exposed. Thus, it is possible to solve the problems without forming any through-holes. 
         [0012]    To this end, according to the present invention, a receiving part for keeping paper money or a card is provided to one side surface of a foldable long wallet and an adhesive surface having a predetermined area is provided to an opposite side surface of the long wallet. In addition, a slide plate which can move up or down is attached to the adhesive surface, so that the slide plate can move up or down in a slide space. 
         [0013]    In addition, the slide plate has longitudinal and traversal widths larger than those of the adhesive surface exposed to the opposite side surface of the wallet, so that the slide plate is prevented from escaping from a base sheet while the slide plate moves up or down. An opening part is formed in consideration of a movable width of adhesive surface when the adhesive surface moves up or down. 
         [0014]    In addition, the slide space is formed to allow the slide plate to be guided by a sewing line, so that the slide plate exactly move up or down. 
         [0015]    In addition, auxiliary elevating units are formed on both sides of the slide plate to minimize the friction with the sewing line for guiding the slide plate, so that the slide plate is allowed to easily move up or down. 
         [0016]    In addition, a rim, which serves as a sliding rail, is formed to the base sheet located on the opposite side surface of the wallet in order to allow the slide plate to smoothly move up or down, so that the slide plate slides smoothly and exactly along the rim of the base sheet. 
         [0017]    Therefore, the wallet is portable without being separated from the smart phone, so that the function of a smart phone case is maintained while the function of a wallet is excellently performed. In this state, if the smart phone attached to the adhesive surface is pushed to move up in order to use the camera of the smart phone, the smart phone slides up to expose the camera so that the camera can be used without being damaged. 
         [0018]    In addition, due to the property of the long wallet keeping paper money unfolded, the size of the long wallet is greater than that of the smart phone, so that the long wallet having such a large size surrounds the portable phone kept in the long wallet. Thus, even when the wallet falls down, impact is not directly transferred to the smart phone, so that the smart phone is prevented from being damaged. 
         [0019]    In addition, since a portion on which the adhesive surface is formed on the slide plate which is attached closely to the base sheet giving strength to the wallet, the wallet has strength due to the base sheet and the slide plate so that the wallet is prevented from being bent. Thus, the slide plate is exactly operated to move up or down without bending the adhesive surface attached to the slide plate, so that the smart phone is prevented from being unintentionally separated from the wallet.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
       [0031]    According to a best mode for an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a long wallet which is capable of carrying a smart phone while exposing a camera of the smart phone. The long wallet includes one side surface ( 10 ) and an opposite side surface ( 20 ), 
         [0032]    wherein the one side surface ( 10 ) comprises a paper money receiving part ( 11 ) for receiving paper money, card receiving parts ( 12   a,    12   b  and  12   c ) multi-layered on the paper money receiving part ( 11 ) to secure spaces for receiving cards, and an identification card receiving part ( 13 ) formed on the multi-layered card receiving parts ( 12   a,    12   b  and  12   c ), 
         [0033]    the opposite side surface ( 20 ) is spaced apart from the one side surface ( 10 ) by a constant width of a folding surface ( 30 ) in consideration with a thickness of a smart phone ( 200 ) and is formed of a flat plate, 
         [0034]    an adhesive surface ( 21 ) is formed on a central portion of the opposite side surface ( 20 ) formed of the plate and has a predetermined area, 
         [0035]    the adhesive surface ( 21 ) adheres to a slide plate ( 22 ) which moves up or down in a slide space ( 23 ) and has an opening part ( 24 ) for allowing the adhesive surface ( 21 ) to move up or down, and 
         [0036]    a release paper ( 25 ) to be released in use is attached to a top surface of the adhesive surface ( 21 ). 
         [0037]    Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to accompanying drawings. 
         [0038]    As shown in  FIGS. 1 to 6 , a long wallet  100  according to the present invention includes one side surface  10  and an opposite side surface  20 . In addition, the one side surface  10  is formed with a paper money receiving part  11  for receiving paper money as necessary, card receiving parts  12   a  and  12   b  multi-layered on the paper money receiving part  11  to secure spaces for receiving cards, and an identification card receiving part  13  formed on a top surface of the multi-layered card receiving parts ( 12   a  and  12   b ) as necessary. The identification card receiving part  13  is provided with an opening part  13   a  formed by cutting a central portion of the identification card receiving part  13  such that an identification card is easily taken out therefrom. The opposite side surface  20  is spaced apart from the one side surface  10  by a constant width of a folding surface  30  in consideration with a thickness of a smart phone  200  and is formed of a plate. An adhesive surface  21  is formed on a central portion of the opposite side surface  20  formed of the plate at a predetermined area. In addition, the adhesive surface  21  adheres to a slide plate  22  which moves up or down in a slide space  23  and has an opening part  24  for allowing the adhesive surface  21  to move up or down. 
         [0039]    In addition, a release paper  25  to be released in use is attached onto a top surface of the adhesive surface  21 . 
         [0040]    In addition, the adhesive surface  21 , which is attached to the slide plate  22  of the opposite side surface  20  is formed at such a position that the camera of the smart phone attached to the adhesive surface  21  can be exposed, as shown in  FIG. 3 , when the adhesive surface  21  is located at the uppermost position in state that the opening part  24  is open. 
         [0041]    In addition, the slide space  23 , in which the slide plate  22  slides, is formed by a sewing line  26  and a rim sewing line  26   a,  and a base sheet  27  formed in the slide space  23  is fixed by the sewing lines  26  and  26   a  to allow the slide plate  22 , to which the base sheet  27  is fixed, to easily slide. 
         [0042]    The slide plate  22  has an area to be tightly close to the sewing lines  26  and  26   a  forming the slide space  23  such that the slide plate  22  is prevented from being inclined when the slide plate  22  moves up or down. In this case, according to the present invention, the slide plate  22  is formed of a plastic plate material having a predetermined strength to increase friction with the base sheet  27  flexible and formed of paper. However, the slide plate  22  may be formed of various kinds of materials having the properties. 
         [0043]    In addition, when the slide plate  22  slides while tightly closing to the sewing lines  26  and  26   a,  the sewing lines  26  and  26   a  are pressed against the slide plate  22 , so that the width is narrowed to increase the friction, whereby the slide plate ( 22 ) does not easily move up or down. For this reason, auxiliary elevating units  28  are formed on both sides of the slide plate  22 . 
         [0044]    According to the present invention, the auxiliary elevating units  28  are formed to both sides of the slide plate  22  in a rail band  28   a,  so that the friction is minimized to allow the slide plate  22  to easily move up or down. 
         [0045]    In addition, there may be used various schemes well known in the art in order to improve easy of elevation, but the present invention is not limited thereto. 
         [0046]    In addition, according to the present invention, after the opening part  24  is form in consideration of the ascent and descent width, the adhesive surface  21  is formed on the slide plate  22  exposed through the opening part  24 , so that the adhesive surface  21  moves within the opening part  24  when the slide plate  22  moves up or down in the slide space  23  formed by the sewing lines  26  and  26   a.    
         [0047]    However, as shown in  FIGS. 9 and 10 , after a support  22   c  is formed between the slide plates  22 , the adhesive surface  21  is formed to expose an upper slide plate  22   a  of the slide plates  22 , and a cutting line  29  is formed only on the opposite side surface  20  after a low slide plate  22   b  is inserted into the slide space  23 , so that the support  22   c  moves up or down along the cutting line  29 , thereby allowing the adhesive surface  21  to move up or down. 
         [0048]    In this case, cover surfaces  20   a  and  20   b,  which are formed of leather at both sides about the cutting line  29 , are firmly supported by the rim sewing line  26   a  formed to the upper and lower sides of the long wallet in a strip shape, so that the low slide plate  22   b  may not be released in the slide space  23 , thereby preventing the lower slide plate  22   b  from being delaminated. 
         [0049]    In this case, as shown in  FIGS. 11 and 12 , the slide space ( 23 ) is formed by a rim part  27   a  which is cut toward an inner side surface of the base sheet  27  combined and sewed in the cover surfaces  20   a  and  20   b  at which the smart phone  200  is located. The slide plate  22  is placed in the slide space  23  inside the rim part  27   a.  The adhesive surface  21  is only exposed to the slide plate  22  through the opening part  24  formed on the front cover surface  20   a,  so that the smart phone  200  can adhere to the adhesive surface  21 . In addition. the slide plate  22  is guided in the slide space  23  defined by the cut rim part  27   a  of the base sheet  27  so that the slide plate  22  can easily and slidably move up or down. 
         [0050]    That is, the slide space  23  is formed in the rim part  27   a  formed inside the base sheet  27  in a rectangular shape. Thus, the slide plate  22  is exactly guided by the rim part  27   a  in stat that the slide plate  22  is inserted into the slide space  23  of the rim part  27   a.  In this case, when the slide plate  22  moves up or down, the friction of the slide plate  22  is minimized so that the sliding operation can be easily performed. 
         [0051]    In addition, the base sheet is interposed between the cover papers  20   a  and  20   b  so that the base sheet is sewed with the cover papers  20   a  and  20   b  to allow cover papers  20   a  and  20   b  to approach to the cut rim part  27   a,  so that the base sheet  27  does not move and the slide plate  22  located in the slide space  23  formed by cutting the base sheet  27  does not escape by the sewing line  26   a.    
         [0052]    In addition, in state that the smart phone is attached to the adhesive surface  21 , the opening part  24  is prevented from being exposed. Further, since the slide plate  22  is closely attached in the slide space  23  and the cover surfaces  20   a  and  20  are wide, the smart phone is prevented from being swung while the slide plate  22  is raised.
