Abstract
A pocket device including a major panel and a pocket panel coupled to the major panel and defining a pocket with the major panel. The pocket panel has a lateral dimension greater than a lateral dimension of the major panel at at least one position to thereby define a laterally-extending gap therebetween, which enables expansion of the pocket.
Claims22
A pocket device comprising:
- a major panel;
- and
- a pocket panel coupled to said major panel and defining a pocket with said major panel, wherein said pocket panel has a lateral dimension greater than a lateral dimension of said major panel at at least one position to thereby define a laterally-extending gap therebetween, which enables expansion of said pocket.
A pocket device comprising:
- a first major panel and a second major panel coupled together along a fold line;
- a first pocket panel coupled to said first major panel and defining a first pocket with said first major panel;
- and
- a second pocket panel coupled to said second major panel defining a second pocket with said second major panel, wherein each pocket panel has a lateral dimension greater than a lateral dimension of the associated major panel at at least one position to thereby define a lateral gap therebetween, enabling expansion of said first and second pockets.

A pocket device comprising:
- a major panel;
- and
- a pocket panel coupled to said major panel and defining a pocket with said major panel, wherein said pocket panel has an extension portion extending laterally beyond a lateral edge of said major panel to thereby enable expansion of said pocket.
A blank for forming a pocket device comprising:
- a generally rectangular piece of sheet-like material having a major fold line extending generally entirely thereacross and a pocket fold line extending generally entirely thereacross, the major fold and a pocket fold line intersecting each other;
- and
- a cut-out generally aligned with said major fold line and extending therealong, such cut-out being entirely internally positioned in said blank.
A method for forming a pocket device comprising:
- accessing a blank including a generally rectangular piece of sheet-like material having a cut-out entirely internally positioned within the blank;
- folding the blank about a minor fold line that intersects the cut-out to define a pair of pockets;
- and
- folding the blank about a major fold line that intersects, and is generally aligned with, the cut-out.
