Patent ID: 7971324

Claim:
A card and currency carrying device comprising a first side member assembly and a spaced second side member assembly, each of said first side member assembly and said second side member assembly having a flexible member having a first end and an opposed second end, each of said flexible members having an undeflected position wherein said first end and said second end are generally planar to each other and a deflected position responsive to a compression deflection force applied concurrently to said first end and said second end of each of said flexible members wherein the flexible members are urged in opposition directions to each other forming a receiving opening; a first pair of generally rectangular shaped, planar support members and a second pair of generally rectangular shaped, planar support members operatively connected to each side of and enclosing each of said flexible members forming each of said first side member assembly and said second side member assembly; and an elastic fabric material having a thickness which reduces in dimension in response to a longitudinal tension force and which maintains its width dimension in response to a longitudinal tension force, said elastic fabric material being operatively coupled to said first pair of support members and said second pair of support members and each of said flexible members, wherein said elastic fabric material is expanded by a longitudinal tension force in response to a compression deflection source concurrently applied to said first side member assembly and said second side member assembly including said flexible members forming a receiving opening and contracting said elastic fabric material back into its original position in response to a compression deflection force being removed from said first side member assembly and said second side member assembly.
