## Abstract

An image presentation card, comprising an image holder, constructed of a transparent sheet of polypropylene plastic. The plastic is bent twice, to form an image holder tab that is backed with pressure sensitive adhesive, and to form an image holder back, which is wrapped around behind the image and tucked into the image holder tab, for holding a ultrasound image within. The pressure sensitive adhesive that backs the image holder tab is used to mount the image holder to a mounting surface. The mounting surface comprises a window opposite the location where the image holder is mounted, so that the mounting surface may be bent, covering the image, except for a cropped portion that can be viewed through the window. The mounting surface may be further bent, to form a cover that can cover the window completely, to protect the image from light.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An image presentation card comprising:
a) an image holder, constructed of a sheet of polypropylene plastic, for protecting an image comprising a sonograph printout on thermographic paper, the sheet of polypropylene plastic bent twice to create an image holder front, an image holder back, and an image holder tab where the image holder back is tucked into to form a pocket between the image holder front and the image holder back for receiving the image; and
b) a mounting surface upon which the image holder is secured, the mounting surface including a circular tab means for holding the image holder to the mounting surface, a window in the mounting surface opposite the image holder, the window providing a means for framing a selected portion of the image when the image is placed in the image holder, the mounting surface further comprising a cover which can be folded to completely cover the window for protecting the image from light when the image is not being viewed.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

An image presentation card as recited in claim 1, where the mounting surface further comprises corner slits in the mounting surface for holding a business card on the mounting surface.

### Claim 3

An image presentation card comprising:
an image holder, constructed of a chemically inert polypropylene sheet bent twice to create an image holder front, an image holder back, and an image holder tab where the image holder back is tucked into to form a pocket between the image holder front and the image holder back for receiving an image comprising a sonograph printout, a pressure sensitive adhesive being provided on the image holder tab for mounting the image holder tab;
a mounting surface upon which the image holder is secured, a circular tab means on the mounting surface for holding the image holder in place in cooperation with the adhesive, and a window opposite the image holder, the mounting surface folded so that the window overlays a spot of the image holder for framing a selected portion of the image when mounted in the image holder, and to allow the image to be viewed through the window, the mounting surface further comprising a cover for completely covering the image to protect it from light when the image is not being viewed.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

An image presentation card as recited in claim 3, where the mounting surface further comprises a pair of corner slits for allowing two corners of a business card to be inserted into the mounting surface, to hold the business card to the mounting surface.

### Claim 5

An image presentation card comprising:
an image holder, constructed of a chemically inert transparent sheet bent twice to create an image holder front, an image holder back, and an image holder tab where the image holder back is tucked into to form a pocket between the image holder front and the image holder back for receiving a delicate image;
a mounted surface upon which the image holder is secured, the mounted surface including tab means for holding the image holder with the image inserted therein in place, a window opposite the image holder, the mounted surface folded so that the window overlays a spot of the image holder for framing the image when inserted in the image holder, and to allow the image to be viewed through the window, the mounted surface further comprising a cover for completely covering the image to protect it from light when the image is not being viewed.
