Spanish term

fundas de cuero para resortes

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law: Patents, Trademarks, Copyright Personal items
Hi!

I would like to ask you for an opinion about the "para resortes" bit. It is a part of a bigger description of a company's products to be included in the EU Trademarks database. The description is as follows:
"Hilos de cuero. Tiras de cuero. Fundas de cuero para resortes y para tarjetas de crédito."
Now, this term already appears in the Euroclass database:

http://oami.europa.eu/ec2/term/61645835;jsessionid=7BF093F3C...

But what sense does it make to translate it as "Casings, of leather, for springs"? What could it even mean?
Any ideas?

haha yes, this would indeed make much more sense... However, it's "resortes" unfortunately. I do think it's an error, as it simply does not make any sense at all, but I'm surprised that it has come up before (in Euroclass) and it has been translated literally...

I would correct it (with a note): IMO; you'd be doing them a service. eski :))
Note from asker:
So would you "correct the mistake" by translating it into "passport holders", even though that's not what the original text says? Normally I would too, and I would probably make a note explaining that I think it's a typo, but as it's for a EU database (and there's no space to put notes), I don't really know what I should do...
