Patent attributes
A card holder for storing a plurality of transaction cards in a stacked alignment inside a case with a lever arm that when lifted, forces the lateral edges of the cards outward in a fan-like manner through a side opening formed on the case. The case includes a close cavity with a lower frame configured to hold a stack of transaction cards. The lower frame includes a flexible arm used to support the cards. The lever arm includes a push arm that extends into the case and positioned adjacent to the inside edges of the cards. When the lever arm is lifted, the push arm travels in an arc inside the case. Formed on the push arm are a plurality of sequentially offset steps configured to individually press against the adjacent edges of the cards causing the cards to rotate and extend in a fan-like manner through the side opening.
