BUSINESS CARD HOLDER AND DISPENSER

摘要

A business card holder includes a support for containing a number of business cards permitting vertical extraction of one card from the set by grasping the card along its narrower upper edge. The lower surface of the support is bevelled so as to cause the set of cards to be presented at the upper end of the support at differing heights for ease of extraction. The upper edge of at least one wall containing the cards is lower than the top edge of all of the cards in the set, providing an edge that will permit the uppermost card to be bent slightly outward over this top edge for extraction. The vertical height of the card support when positioned within a pocket may be established by providing a clip that will engage with the upper edge of a pocket or by providing a downwardly extending leg that will rest against the bottom of the pocket. Alternately, the support may be positioned outside of a pocket, carried by a clip that fits over and engages with the upper edge of a pocket. Alternately, the support may include a magnetic material and a magnet may be placed inside a pocket or other fabric of a wearer, positioned with its field extending through the fabric surface to engage with the magnetic material of the support and thereby retaining it in position. The support may also carry a name tag.
