The following description of the embodiments of the invention is not intended to limit the invention to these embodiments, but rather to enable any person skilled in the art to make and use this invention.
As shown in
In particular, as shown in
A variation of the wrap wallet 100, shown in

Another variation of the wrap wallet 100 shown in
Generally, the wrap wallet 100 functions to retain one or more bills of paper currency (e.g., U.S. Dollars, Euros, Japanese Yen, etc.) in the bill pocket 140, which can engage and substantially enclose a small portion of the bill (i.e., the short end), one or more payment cards of ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1 standard size (e.g., credit cards, Government Identification cards, etc.), a passport, and/or a business card in the card pocket 150, the payment card providing structure to the card pocket 150 and cooperating with the bill pocket 140 to retain the bill(s) of paper currency within the bill pocket 140. The wrap wallet 100 can define and operate between two configurations: an open configuration and a wrapped configuration. In the open configuration, the wrap wallet 100 can lie substantially planar such that cards retained within the card pocket 150 and/or bills retained within the bill pocket 140 can be accessed and removed from the wrap wallet 100 for use (e.g., for payment). In the closed configuration, the wrap wallet 100 envelopes cards retained within the card pocket 150 and bills retained by the bill pocket 140 by wrapping a portion of the rectangular sheet 110 around the card pocket 150 (i.e., the middle tensile section 114 and the end flap section 116), enclosing a portion of the bill(s) between the card pocket 150 and the rectangular sheet 110. The bill pocket 140 retains a portion of the bill(s), thereby constraining a length of the bill(s) (i.e., longitudinal axis) parallel the long edge of the rectangular sheet 110. By wrapping the rectangular sheet 110 around the card pocket 150, the rectangular sheet 110 functions to constrain the bill(s) longitudinally (i.e., parallel the long edge of the rectangular sheet 110). Furthermore, by wrapping around the card pocket 150, the rectangular sheet 110 prevents latitudinal motion of cards out of the card pocket 150, thereby limiting risk of losing a card from the card pocket 150. The wrap wallet 100 can also include a second card pocket 160 retaining one or more cards. As the wrap wallet 100 can be defined by a single sheet of material, in the wrapped configuration, the wrap wallet 100 can define a narrow thickness or profile, such that the wrap wallet 100 can, for example, fit within a pant pocket and define a small and low-profile bulge within a rear (or front) pant pocket. Furthermore, the wrap wallet 100 can be slightly larger than an ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1 standard size card. Thus, in the wrapped configuration, the wrap wallet 100 can be approximately the size of a deck of cards. In the wrapped configuration, the wrap wallet 100 can include seven stacked layers of material (i.e., the flap section 111, the cover section 112, the back section 113, the middle tensile section 114, the end flap section 116, the first half of the second rectangular sheet 130, and the second half of the second rectangular sheet 130) excluding cards and bills retained within the wrapped wallet. In a typical tri-fold wallet, which retains a bill with a pocket that supports an entire length of the bill, in a tri-fold configuration, the typical tri-fold wallet requires at least six stacked layers of material excluding layers to define pockets to retain cards. Additional layers added to the typical tri-fold wallet add to thickness and profile of the wallet in the wrapped configuration. The wrap wallet 100 functions to minimize the profile and thickness of the wrap wallet 100 in the wrap configuration by supporting a portion of a bill of paper currency instead of the entirety of the length of the bill (i.e., a longitudinal pocket).
In one example application, the wrap wallet 100 can be formed from a single sheet of material (e.g., leather), thereby defining a narrow thickness (i.e., profile) in a wrapped configuration. When a user may place the wrap wallet 100 in a pocket (e.g., a pant pocket), the wrap wallet 100 generates a minimal profile within the pocket. In the wrapped configuration, the wrap wallet 100 can be roll-folded about the card pocket 150. The card pocket 150, which can be defined by folding the flap section 111 over the cover section 112, the inner surface of the flap section 111 adjacent the inner surface of the cover section 112, can retain one or more credit cards of ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1 standard size. The card pocket 150 can define a diagonal slot 180 relative a long edge in the cover section 112 through which credit cards (or other standard sized cards) can be removably inserted by a user, a long axis of each card parallel a short edge of the rectangular sheet 110. A portion of each card can be retained over the cover section 112 and a second portion of each card, inserted through the diagonal slot 180, can be retained within the card pocket 150. The card pocket 150 can cooperate with the back section 113 of the rectangular sheet 110 to form a bill pocket 140 by folding the card pocket 150 over the back section 113, the outer surface of the cover section 112 adjacent the inner surface of the back section 113. The bill pocket 140 can retain one or more bills of paper currency (e.g., a one U.S. dollar bill) between the card pocket 150 and the back section 113, such that a long axis of each bill is parallel the long edge of the rectangular sheet 110, the bill pocket 140 retaining an end of each bill (e.g., less than one-third of the length of each bill) between the inner surface of the back section 113 and the outer surface of the cover section 112.
In one application, the wrap wallet 100 can include a rectangular sheet 110 of leather with a grain side and a flesh side, the flesh side defining a higher coefficient of friction than the grain side. The rectangular sheet 110 can have substantially sharp, ninety-degree corners. The rectangular sheet 110 of leather can be subdivided into six sections serially along the length of the rectangular sheet 110, each section of a width (i.e., along an axis parallel the short edge of the rectangular sheet 110) of at least the card width of the ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1 standard size (e.g., 85.60 millimeters) and each section of a length (i.e., along an axis parallel the long edge of the rectangular sheet 110) of at least the card length of the ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1 standard size (e.g., 53.98 millimeters). A first flap section 111 adjacent the short edge of the rectangular sheet 110 can be folded over an adjacent cover section 112 of the rectangular sheet 110, thereby forming a card pocket 150.
The wrap wallet 100 minimizes the wrap wallet 100 footprint (i.e., width and length) when in the wrapped configuration to dimensions that are slightly larger than the dimensions of a credit card (e.g., slightly larger than 85.60 mm×53.98 mm). Furthermore, the wrap wallet 100 minimizes the wrap wallet 100 thickness in the wrapped configuration by retaining the bill of paper currency along a short edge (e.g., width) instead of along the entirety of the bill of paper currency length, thereby limiting material and thickness that supports the entirety of the length of the paper bill of paper currency. In one variation, the bill pocket 140 of the wrap wallet 100 retains an end of the bill of paper currency (e.g., a first section of the bill of paper currency length, along the bill of paper currency width). A second section of the bill of paper currency is retained by folding the first wallet section over the short end of the bill, thereby retaining the bill of paper currency between the short end of the bill and the first wallet section. A third section of the bill of paper currency length can additionally be retained by folding the second wallet section over the short end of the bill, such that the third bill of paper currency section is encapsulated between the short end of the bill and the second wallet section.
The rectangular sheet 110 can define an inner surface and an outer surface, the rectangular sheet 110 of a width dimension corresponding to at least a card width of the payment card and a length dimension corresponding to greater than five multiples of a card length of the payment card, the card width greater than the card length, the rectangular sheet 110 defining five sections of the rectangular sheet 110 ordered serially across the rectangular sheet 110 from a first short edge of the rectangular sheet 110 to an opposing short edge of the rectangular sheet 110 opposite the first short edge, the five sections comprising a flap section 111, a cover section 112, a back section 113, a tensile middle section 114, and an end flap section 116 arranged in order, the flap section 111 adjacent a short edge of the rectangular sheet 110. Generally, the rectangular sheet 110 functions to substantially envelope and retain paper currency and payment card(s).
The rectangular sheet 110 can be of a substantially rectangular shape with the width dimension corresponding to at least a card width of an ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1 standard size payment card (i.e., 85.60 millimeters) or larger. The length dimension of the rectangular sheet 110 can correspond to at least five multiples of a card length of the ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1 standard size payment card (i.e., five multiples of 53.98 millimeters) or larger. For example, the width dimension can be ninety-five millimeters and the length dimension can be 275 millimeters. However, the rectangular sheet 110 can be of any other size suitable to accommodate paper currency and/or a payment card, Government identification card, gift card, etc. The rectangular sheet 110 can define sharp right-angled corners, chamfered corners, rounded corners, etc. The rectangular sheet 110 can be substantially planar, such that the inner surface and the outer surface of the rectangular sheet 110 can be substantially parallel and planar. Alternatively, inner surface and/or the outer surface can include a bezel, extruded ridges, a geometric pattern of shapes offset from the inner surface and/or outer surface, or any other feature forming a substantially three-dimensional or non-planar rectangular sheet 110. Likewise, the inner and/or outer surface of the rectangular sheet 110 can be textured, such as with raised polka dots, ridges, checkers, etc. The rectangular sheet 110 can be cut to size and shape by any cutting means, such as with a blade (e.g., a knife), scissors, a cutout, a leather skiver, a leather splitter, a punch, or with a laser cutter. For example, a laser cutter can be programmed to cut a strip of leather into a substantially rectangular shape with rounded corners of a particular curvature. The laser cutter can also cut a window (i.e., a hole) in the cover section 112, for example, to aid removal of a card from the card pocket 150 or to make a face of a card (e.g., a face of a Government Identification card) visible to an external to the card pocket 150. However, the rectangular sheet 110 can be of any other suitable shape, size, and cut to shape and size in any other way.
The rectangular sheet 110 can be of any material, such as leather, duct tape, linen, silk, denim, velvet, metal, plastic, etc. Alternatively, the rectangular sheet 110 can be defined by any other polymeric material and include one or more layers. Additionally, the rectangular sheet 110 can define the inner surface, such that the inner surface defines a coefficient of friction equal to or greater than the coefficient of friction defined by the outer surface. For example, leather includes a grain side (i.e., outside of the animal hide) and a flesh side (i.e., the inside of the animal hide), the flesh side of a greater coefficient of friction than a coefficient of friction of the grain side. In this example, the flesh side is more coarse and less smooth to the touch than the grain side. An object (e.g., a credit card or a bill of paper currency) can slide along (i.e., contact) the grain side smoothly and with less frictional resistance than when the object slides along the flesh side. Thus, the inner surface can function to retain a card, a bill, etc. within the card pocket 150 or the bill pocket 140 through frictional resistance and the outer surface can aid removal of the card, the bill, etc. from the card pocket 150 or the bill pocket 140 due to lower frictional resistance of the outer surface than frictional resistance of the inner surface. In another example, when short ends of a stack of bills of paper currency may be inserted in the bill pocket 140, a user may retrieve a bill on the top of the stack of bills from the bill pocket 140 without removing other bills in the stack from the bill pocket 140 because the higher coefficient of friction of the inner surface retains the remaining bills in the stack and the lower coefficient of friction of the outer surface of the flap section 11 allows the top bill to slide out from inside the bill pocket 140.
The rectangular sheet 110 can define five (or more) sections serially ordered along the length of the rectangular sheet 110. Each section can be of a section length corresponding to at least the card length (i.e., 53.98 millimeters) or larger. The flap section 111 can be defined adjacent a first short edge of the rectangular sheet 110. The cover section 112 can be defined adjacent the flap section 111 and can be of a section length equal to or larger than the section length of the flap section 111. The back section 113 can be defined adjacent the cover section 112, such that the cover section 112 is situated between the flap section 111 and the back section 113. The back section 113 can be of a section length equal to or longer than the section length of the cover section 112. The middle tensile section 114 can be defined adjacent the back section 113. The middle tensile section 114 can be of a section length equal to or longer than the back section 113, such that the middle tensile section 114 can wrap around the card pocket 150 and bill pocket 140 and accommodate thickness added by cards and/or bills of paper currency. The back section 113 can be defined between the middle tensile section 114 and the cover section 112. The end flap section 116 can be defined adjacent the middle tensile section 114. The end flap section 116 can be of a section length equal to or longer than the cover flap section 111. The end flap section 111 can be adjacent (and coincident) a second short edge of the rectangular sheet 110 opposite the first short edge.
In one implementation of the wrap wallet 10, the rectangular sheet 110 can define a substantially triangular flap section 111 and/or end flap section 116 as shown in
A variation of the rectangular sheet 110 can be of a substantially rectangular shape with the width dimension corresponding to at least a card width of an ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1 standard size payment card (i.e., 85.60 millimeters) or larger and the length dimension of the rectangular sheet 110 can correspond to at least six multiples of a card length of the ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1 standard size payment card (i.e., six multiples of 53.98 millimeters) or larger. In this variation, the rectangular sheet 110 can define six (or more) sections serially ordered along the length of the rectangular sheet 110 from a first short edge of the rectangular sheet 110 to a second short edge of the rectangular sheet 110 opposite the first short edge in substantially the following order: flap section 111, cover section 112, back section 113, middle tensile section 114, inner flap section 111, and end flap section 116. Each section can be of a section length corresponding to at least the card length (i.e., 53.98 millimeters) or larger. The cover section 112 can be of a section length equal to or larger than a section length of the flap section 111. The back section 113 can be of a section length equal to or longer than the section length of the cover section 112. The middle tensile section 114 can be of a section length equal to or longer than the back section 113, such that the middle tensile section 114 can wrap around the card pocket 150 and bill pocket 140 and accommodate thickness added by cards and/or bills of paper currency. The inner flap section 115 can be defined between the middle tensile section 114 and the end flap section 116. The inner flap section 115 can be of a section length equal to or longer than a section length of the end flap section 116. The end flap section 116 can be of a section length equal to or longer than the cover flap section 111. The end flap section 111 can be adjacent (and coincident) a second short edge of the rectangular sheet 110 opposite the first short edge.
In one variation of the wrap wallet 100, the rectangular sheet 110 can be defined by two or more layers of material, each layer of material coupled to each adjacent layer of material. The layers can be coupled together such as with an adhesive (e.g., epoxy), sewn together, or otherwise bonded together (e.g., with rivets, staples, nails). For example, a first layer of denim fabric can be stapled to a second layer of velvet, the denim layer defining the inner surface of the rectangular sheet 110, the velvet layer defining the outer surface of the rectangular sheet 110.
The card pocket 150, as shown in
In one implementation shown in
The card pocket 150 can include a slot 180 cut through and substantially across the length of the cover section 112 substantially proximal an edge of the cover section 112 parallel the long edge of the rectangular sheet 110. Alternatively, the slot 180 can cut across the cover section 112 coincident a center of the cover section 112. The slot 180 can be substantially linear or nonlinear. For example, the slot 180 can define a zig-zag profile or serpentine cut. Furthermore, the slot 180 can be oriented at an acute angle relative the long edge of the rectangular sheet 110. The slot 180 can further define a relief hole coincident an end of the slot 180, such that the relief hole prevents propagation of the slot 180 beyond the relief hole and limits stresses concentrated at the end of the slot 180 due to sharp (and/or abrupt) conclusion of the slot 180, as shown in
Alternatively, the flap section 111 can be retained over the cover section 112 with one or more fasteners 170 proximal an edge of the flap section 111 and the cover section 112, such that two of four edges (shown in
Alternatively, the flap section can be folded over the back section, as shown in
In one implementation, the flap section 111 can be substantially triangular, such that a long leg of the triangular flap section 111 coincides with the intersection of the flap section 111 and the cover section 112 and a short leg of the triangular flap section 111 substantially parallel the long edge of the rectangular sheet 110, as shown in
Alternatively, the flap section 111 and cover section 112 can be of any other shape such that the flap section 111 and cover section 112 can cooperate to define a pocket that retains one or more payment cards. For example, the flap section 111 can define a substantially rectangular shape with an ovular window cut through the center of the flap section 111, the flap section 111 coupled to the cover section 112 along the fold coincident the intersection of the flap section 111 and the cover section 112. In another example, the flap section 111 can define two small triangular segments
In another implementation shown in
In another implementation shown in
In a similar implementation, the auxiliary rectangular sheet can be of a width substantially of the card length and of a length corresponding to at least the card width. In this implementation, the auxiliary rectangular sheet can be coupled to edges of the flap section 111 along two (or more) edges of the auxiliary rectangular sheet. For example, two edges of the auxiliary rectangular sheet can be coupled to edges of the flap section 111 proximal the long edges of the rectangular sheet 110, thereby forming a band under which the wrap wallet 100 can store one or more cards. In another example, two edges of the auxiliary rectangular sheet can be couple to edges of the flap section 111 proximal the long edges of the rectangular sheet 110 and a third edge of the auxiliary rectangular sheet can be coupled to the short edge of the flap section 111. Thus, the auxiliary rectangular sheet can cooperate with the flap section 111 to form a pocket with an opening adjacent the intersection between the cover section 112 and the flap section 111.
The bill pocket 140, as shown in
In one implementation, the bill pocket 140 can be defined by folding the card pocket 150 (the inner surface of the flap section 111 adjacent the inner surface of the cover section 112) over the back section 113 of the rectangular sheet 110, such that the outer surface of the flap section 111 is adjacent the inner surface of the back section 113. Thus, one or more bills can be retained between the outer surface of the flap section 111 and the inner surface of the back section 113. The card pocket 150 can be retained over the back section 113 by adhering, fastening, or otherwise coupling an edge or multiple edges of the back section 113 parallel the long edge of the rectangular sheet 110 to an adjacent edge of the flap section 111 parallel the long edge of the rectangular sheet 110.
In another implementation, the bill pocket 140 can be defined by folding the card pocket 150 (the outer surface of the flap section 111 adjacent the outer surface of the cover section 112) over the back section 113, such that the inner surface of the flap section 111 is adjacent the inner surface of the back section 113. Thus, one or more bills can be retained between the inner surface of the flap section 111 and the inner surface of the back section 113.
In another implementation, the bill pocket 140 can be defined by folding the card pocket 150 (the inner surface of the flap section 111 adjacent the inner surface of the cover section 112) over the back section 113, such that the outer surface of the cover section 112 is adjacent the outer surface of the back section 113. Thus, one or more bills can be retained between the outer surface of the cover section 112 and the outer surface of the back section 113.
In another implementation, the bill pocket 140 can be defined by folding the card pocket 150 (the outer surface of the flap section 111 adjacent the outer surface of the cover section 112) over the back section 113, such that the inner surface of the cover section 112 is adjacent the inner surface of the back section 113. Thus, one or more bills can be retained between the inner surface of the back section 113 and the inner surface of the cover section 112.
In each of the aforementioned implementations of the bill pocket 140, the card pocket 150 can be retained over the back section 113 by any fastening or coupling means, such as stitching. Fasteners 170 can be distributed along an edge of the back section 113 (e.g., a first edge parallel the long edge of the rectangular sheet 110, a second edge opposite and parallel the first edge, and/or an edge parallel and substantially coincident an intersection between the back section 113 and the cover section 112). For example, stitches distributed in a zig-zag pattern parallel and proximal a long edge of the rectangular sheet 110 can penetrate through the cover section 112, the flap section 111, and the back section 113, thereby retaining the flap section 111 over the cover section 112 (forming the card pocket 150) and retaining the card pocket 150 over the back section 113.
However, the bill pocket 140 can retain the bill along the center of the bill longitudinal axis, or retain any other suitable portion of the bill. The bill pocket 140 can be a low-friction retention mechanism, wherein folding of the card pocket 150 over the bill functions to retain and substantially envelope the bill between the card pocket 150 and the middle tensile section 114. However, the bill pocket 140 can also be a high-friction retention mechanism, wherein the material forming the bill pocket 140 is a high friction material, is lined with a high friction material (e.g., sandpaper, rubber, etc.) along all or a portion of the bill pocket 140 configured to couple to the bill, or include any other suitable feature. The bill pocket 140 is a pocket (e.g., a recess between the back section 113 and the card pocket 150), but can alternatively be a clip coupled (e.g., adhered, sewn, riveted, etc.) to the short end of the bill, as shown in
One variation of the wrap wallet 100 shown in
In one implementation shown in
The second rectangular sheet 130 can be retained over the end flap section 116 by any fastening means, such as stitches, rivets, nails, staples, etc., distributed proximal one or more edges of the end flap section 116 (e.g., an edge proximal an intersection between the first half section 131 and the second half section 132, either edge parallel the long edge of the rectangular sheet 110, an edge proximal an intersection between the middle tensile section 114 and the end flap section 116). For example, the first half section 131 of the second rectangular sheet 130 can be sewn through the end flap section 116 to the second half section 132, wherein stitches penetrate through the first half section 131, the end flap section 116, and the second half section 132. The stitches can for a substantially linear pattern along a first edge of the end flap section 111 parallel and proximal the long edge of the rectangular sheet 110 and along a second edge of the end flap section 116 parallel and proximal a second long edge of the rectangular sheet 110, the first half section 131 and second half section 132 lying substantially flat (i.e., coincident) over the end flap section 116. The first half section 131 and/or the second half section 132 can span an entirety the length of the end flap section 116, thereby covering the end flap section 116. Alternatively, the first half section 131 and/or the second half section 132 can span a portion (e.g., a corner or span half the length of the end flap section 116).
In a similar implementation shown in
In one variation shown in
In another implementation of the variation shown in
In another implementation of the variation, the second card pocket can define an opening to accept the payment card between the end flap section and the inner flap section, the opening parallel a short edge of the rectangular sheet and proximal an intersection between the inner flap section and the middle tensile section.
In one example application, an elastic cord (e.g., elastolefin) or other elastic fastener 170 can retain the flap section 111 over the cover section 112 to define the card pocket 150, the card pocket 150 over the back section 113 to define the bill pocket 140, and the end flap section 116 over inner flap section 115 to define the second card pocket 160. The elastic cord can function to define expandable pockets, which can accommodate various numbers of standard size cards and bills of paper currency within the wrap wallet 100. The elastic cord can accommodate few cards and/or bills, the elastic cord shrinking to tightly retain and envelope the cards and/or bills closely. Alternatively, the elastic cord can stretch to envelope many cards (e.g., ten credit cards) and/or many bills (e.g., twenty one dollar bills).
In another example application, the wrapping wallet can additionally include a retention mechanism, which functions to transiently retain the wrapping wallet in the wrapped configuration. The retention mechanism functions to transiently retain the position of the first and/or second wallet section position relative to the short end of the bill when in the wrapped configuration. The retention mechanism is a paired coupling mechanism, and includes a first and a second coupling mechanism. The first coupling mechanism exerts or generates an attractive force toward the second coupling mechanism, but can alternatively mechanically retain the second coupling mechanism. Examples of the retention mechanism include a magnet and a ferrous element (e.g., a magnet or a material including iron), a button and a buttonhole (e.g., defined by a cut in the wrapping wallet material or a loop connected to the wrapping wallet material), clips, Velcro, a tongue and groove system, or any other suitable retention mechanism. The wrapping wallet includes one retention mechanism, but can alternatively include two, three, or any other suitable number of retention mechanisms. The retention mechanism(s) is evenly distributed along the length of a free wallet edge (e.g., the long edge of the rectangular sheet 110 of the wrapping wallet in the wrapped configuration, short edge of the rectangular sheet 110 of the wrapping wallet in the open configuration) in the wrapped configuration, but can alternatively be unevenly distributed. Alternatively, the retention mechanism can be arranged anywhere along the broad face of a wallet section. For example, in one variation of the wrapping wallet including a short end of the bill, a first wallet section, and a second wallet section, the retention mechanism can include a magnet and a ferrous element, wherein the magnet is arranged within the bill pocket 140 lumen proximal the bill pocket 140 opening, and the ferrous element is arranged along the free edge of the second wallet section parallel the bill pocket 140 opening (e.g., as shown in
In another variation, the rectangular sheet 110 can define a length dimension corresponding to two multiples of the card width, the rectangular sheet including a first section and a second section. In this variation, one or more cards can be retained adjacent and parallel the first section and one or more cards can be retained adjacent and parallel the second section with a clip, a clasp, or other feature coupling an edge of a card to an edge of the rectangular sheet. The first section can be folded over the second section, thereby defining a bi-fold wallet.
In another variation, the rectangular sheet 110 can define a length dimension corresponding to three multiples of the card width, the rectangular sheet including the flap section, the middle tensile section, and an end flap section. The flap section can be configured to retain one or more cards adjacent and parallel the flap section with clips, clasps, or other feature coupling an edge of a card to an edge of the rectangular sheet coincident the flap section. The flap section can be folded over the middle tensile section. The end flap section can be folded over the flap section, the end flap section configured to retain one or more cards with a clasp, clip, or other feature coupling an edge of a card to an edge of the rectangular sheet and the end flap section
In another variation, the rectangular sheet 110 can define a length dimension corresponding to four multiples of the card width, the rectangular sheet including the flap section, the back section, the middle tensile section, and an end flap section. The flap section can fold over the back section, defining a card pocket configured to retain a card between the flap section and the back section. The end flap section can be folded over the middle tensile section, defining a second pocket configured to retain a second card (or bills of paper currency) between the middle tensile section and the end flap section. The second pocket can fold over the card pocket, substantially enclosing the cards and/or bills and defining a bi-fold wrap wallet.
In another variation, the rectangular sheet 110 can define a length dimension corresponding to seven multiples (or more) of the card width, the rectangular sheet including seven section serially arranged in the following order: the flap section, the back section, the cover section, the middle tensile section, a cover flap section adjacent, the inner flap section, and the end flap section. The flap section can fold over the back section, defining a card pocket configured to retain a card between the flap section and the back section. The end flap section can be folded over the middle tensile section, defining a second pocket configured to retain a second card (or bills of paper currency) between the middle tensile section and the end flap section. The second pocket can fold over the card pocket, substantially enclosing the cards and/or bills and defining a bi-fold wrap wallet.
