Abstract
A multi-panel display device having a center panel positioned between a first side panel and a second side panel and a header panel and a blank for a multi-panel display device. In one aspect, the invention can be a blank for a multi-panel display device comprising: a center panel; a first side panel attached to the center panel along a first pre-weakened line; a second side panel attached to the center panel along a second pre-weakened line; and a header panel detachably coupled to the second side panel along a third pre-weakened line.

A multi-panel display device comprising:
- a sheet of material comprising:
- a center panel having a first edge, a second edge, a top edge, a bottom edge, a height measured between the top and bottom edges of the center panel, and a width WC measured between the first and second edges of the center panel;
- a first side panel having a first free edge, a second edge, a top edge, a bottom edge, and a height measured between the top and bottom edges of the first side panel, the second edge of the first side panel attached to the first edge of the center panel along a first pre-weakened line;
- a second side panel having a first edge, a second edge, a top edge, a bottom edge, and a height measured between the top and bottom edges of the second side panel, the first edge of the second side panel attached to the second edge of the center panel along a second pre-weakened line;
- and
- a header panel having a first edge, a second edge, a top edge, a bottom edge, a height measured between the top and bottom edges of the head panel, and a width WH measured between the first and second edges of the header panel, the first edge of the header panel detachably coupled to the second edge of the second side panel along a third pre-weakened line, the header panel comprising a first slot and a second slot, each of the first and second slots extending from one of the first and second edges of the header panel towards the other of the first and second edges of the header panel, the first and second slots having a length LS measured from the one of the first and second edges of the header panel to a terminal end of the slots that is less than the width WH of the header panel, the first and second slots spaced apart by a distance D that is greater than the width WC of the center panel;
- the heights of the center panel, the first side panel, the second side panel, and the header panel being substantially the same so that the top and bottom edges of the center panel, the first side panel, the second side panel, and the header panel are aligned;
- the sheet of material alterable between:
- (1) a folded state in which:
- (A) the first side panel is folded over the center panel about the first pre-weakened line;
- and
- (B) the second side panel is folded over the center panel about the second pre-weakened line;
- and
- (2) a display state in which:
- (A) the header panel is broken away from the second side panel along the third pre-weakened line;
- (B) the first and second side panels extend in a direction away from a front surface of the center panel;
- and
- (C) the header panel is mounted to the first and second side panels so as to extend upward from the top edges of the first and second side panels.
A multi-panel display device comprising:
- a sheet of material comprising:
- a center panel having a first edge, a second edge, and a width WC measured between the first and second edges;
- a first side panel having a first free edge and a second edge, the second edge of the first side panel attached to the first edge of the center panel along a first pre-weakened line;
- a second side panel having a first edge and a second edge, the first edge of the second side panel attached to the second edge of the center panel along a second pre-weakened line;
- and
- a header panel having a first edge, a second edge, and a width WH measured between the first and second edges, the first edge of the header panel detachably coupled to the second edge of the second side panel along a third pre-weakened line;
- wherein each of the center panel, the first side panel, the second side panel, and the header panel have the same height;
- the sheet of material alterable between:
- (1) a folded state in which:
- (A) the first side panel is folded over the center panel about the first pre-weakened line;
- and
- (B) the second side panel is folded over the center panel about the second pre-weakened line;
- and
- (2) a display state in which:
- (A) the header panel is broken away from the second side panel along the third pre-weakened line;
- (B) the first and second side panels extend in a direction away from a front surface of the center panel;
- and
- (C) the header panel is mounted to the first and second side panels so as to extend upward from top edges of the first and second side panels.
A blank for a multi-panel display device comprising:
- a center panel having a first edge and a second edge;
- a first side panel having a first free edge and a second edge, the second edge of the first side panel attached to the first edge of the center panel along a first pre-weakened line;
- a second side panel having a first edge and a second edge, the first edge of the second side panel attached to the second edge of the center panel along a second pre-weakened line;
- and
- a header panel having a first edge and a second edge, the first edge of the header panel detachably coupled to the second edge of the second side panel along a third pre-weakened line, the header panel comprising a first slot and a second slot, each of the first and second slots extending from one of the first and second edges of the header panel towards the other of the first and second edges of the header panel.
