Abstract
A card filing device for filing a plurality of cards, which is inexpensive, easy to assemble, suited to mass production, exceptionally versatile, capable of being easily stored in storage cases or wallets, and easy to handle, having a simple and compact structure which allows the stored cards to be easily identified and allows the selected cards to be simply and quickly removed. The invention comprises a plurality of card cases B each having a card storage pocket 10 which can hold various types of cards, and a plurality of attachment leaves 4 to which respective card cases B are slidably attached. Each card case B is provided with a protruding tab portion 11 which is capable of being grasped and pulled by the fingers. In this manner, when a selected card case B is slid out with respect to the corresponding attachment leaf 4 of the holder A, then the selected card case B is made to protrude farther than the other card cases. This then allows the selected card to be easily removed.
