Abstract

A four edged single sheet card formable into pedestal supported display is disclosed. A single thickness of sheet material of suitable shape is provided with a predetermined pattern of cuts and fold lines. These cuts and lines define a top portion including a label section, a transverse opening, and a top tab, the label section being joined to the top tab along a first transverse fold line. A left section is connected to the top portion along a second transverse fold line and extends downwardly therefrom along the left edge of the card. A left transverse crease line divides the left section into at least two vertically arranged segments. A right section is connected to the top portion and the second fold line, and extends downwardly therefrom along the right edge of the card. A right transverse crease line divides the right section into at least two vertically arranged segments each of which substantially corresponds to a similarly located segment of the left section. A display section is located between the left and right sections and below the top portion of said card and is disconnectable therefrom. A bottom portion of the card at the bottom of, and rigidly integral with, the display section, provides a bottom tab with left and right lateral portions extending outwardly beyond the display section, the left lateral portion being hinged to the left section, and the right portion being hinged to the right section along an eighth crease line. The card may be formed into the pedestal display by separation of the display portion, outward folds along all of the crease lines, positioning of the label section adjacently below the display section to form the display and interlocking of the display by insertion of the bottom tab through the transverse opening in the top portion.

A four sided single sheet card formable into pedestal supporting display comprising a single thickness of sheet material of suitable shape to provide said card, said sheet material having a predetermined pattern of cuts and fold lines for defining:

a. a top portion of said card including a label section and a top tab, said label section being joined to said top tab along a first transverse fold line;
b. opening means for providing a transverse opening within said top portion of said card;
c. a left section connected to said top portion along a second transverse fold line, said left section extending downwardly therefrom along the left edge of said card and having left transverse crease lines means for dividing said left section into at least two vertically arranged segments;
d. a right section connected to said top portion, said second fold line, said right section extending downwardly therefrom along the right edge of said card and having right transverse crease line means for dividing said right section into at least two vertically arranged segments each of which substantially corresponds to a similarly located segment of said left section;
e. a display section between said left and right sections and below said top portion of said card and severable from said top portion, said left section and said right section;
f. a bottom portion of said card at the bottom of said display section and rigidly integral therewith, said bottom portion having a bottom tab and left and right lateral portions extending beyond said display section, said left portion being joined along a third fold line to said left section, said right portion being joined along said third fold line to said right section along an eighth crease line,
whereby said card may be formed into said pedestal supported display by detachment of said display portion, outward folds along all said crease lines, placement of said label section adjacently below said display section to form said display and insertion of said bottom tab through said opening means to interlock said pedestal.
