CARD WITH INCREASED GRIPABILITY

摘要

The invention disclosed herein represents a means for increasing the gripability of a credit-card-sized card (32). Specifically, dimples (17) raised from, indented in, or embossed in a credit-card-sized card (32) are arranged to form a tread (16) on the front (20) or back of a card. This tread allows fingers (34, 35) to more easily grip a credit-card-sized card (32) for ease of handling or removal from a wallet (30) or carrying case. Moreover, the means disclosed does not interfere with various means such as magnetic stripes commonly used to store encoded information on credit-card-sized cards.
