Claims31
A folder comprising:
- a folder body including a first panel and a second panel pivotally coupled to said first panel, wherein said first panel includes an opening;
- and
- a stand pivotally coupled to said first and second panels and positioned on a first side of said folder body, said stand being movable to a support position wherein said stand is configured to support said folder body in a propped position, and wherein said stand is pivotally coupled to each panel at an associated pivot point thereof defining a pivot axis positioned within and extending perpendicular to each associated panel, wherein the stand is made of a separate piece of material or materials than said folder body, and wherein said stand includes a tab received in said opening of said first panel;
- and
- a protective component positioned on a second side of said folder body, wherein at least part of said protective component covers the opening of said first panel, and wherein said protective component is directly coupled to said first panel.
2 more elements
A folder comprising:
- a folder body including a first panel and a second panel pivotally coupled to said first panel, wherein said folder body is movable between an open position wherein said first and second panels are parallel and non-overlapping and a closed position wherein said first and second panels are parallel and overlapping;
- and
- a stand pivotally coupled to said first and second panels, said stand being movable to a support position wherein said stand is configured to be able to support said folder body in a propped position, wherein said stand is pivotally coupled to each panel at an associated pivot point, wherein said stand is pivotable relative to said folder body to the support position when said folder body is and remains in said closed position.
A folder comprising:
- a folder body including a first panel and a second panel pivotally coupled to said first panel along a fold line, wherein said folder body is movable between an open position wherein said first and second panels are parallel and non-overlapping and a closed position wherein said first and second panels are parallel and overlapping;
- and
- a stand coupled to said first and second panels, said stand being movable between a support position wherein said stand is at least partially spaced away from said folder body and configured to support said folder body in a propped position, and a collapsed position wherein said stand closely conforms to said folder body, wherein said stand includes a first portion and a second portion directly pivotally coupled to each other along a stand fold line about which each of said portions are directly pivotable, wherein said first and second portions are configured to be positioned on an outer surface of said folder body when said folder body is in said closed position, and wherein said stand fold line is parallel with said fold line of said folder body.
A folder comprising:
- a folder body including a first panel and a second panel pivotally coupled to said first panel, wherein said folder body is movable between an open position wherein said first and second panels are parallel and non-overlapping and a closed position wherein said first and second panels are parallel and overlapping;
- and
- a stand pivotally coupled to said first and second panels, said stand being movable to a support position wherein said stand is configured to support said folder body in a propped position, wherein said stand is pivotally coupled to each panel at an associated pivot point thereof defining a pivot axis positioned within and extending perpendicular to each panel when said folder body is in said open position, wherein each associated pivot point is spaced away from an outer perimeter of the respective panel.
