Abstract
A pop-up card in which the cutout portion of the front part is attached to a slide panel which extends the full width of the card and can be liberated by removal of a tear-away strip so that the slide panel can pull the cutout portion into its erect position. This arrangement eliminates the need for especially providing stationary rails to guide the cutout portion.
Claims18
A pop-up card, comprising:
- a front panel bounded by edges and formed inwardly of said edges with cuts delimiting a pop-up portion of said front panel having a cutout adapted to be erected upon bending of said pop-up portion by drawing an extremity thereof toward a portion of the pop-up portion hinged to a remainder of said front panel;
- a slide panel of substantially a full width of said front panel, underlying said front panel and secured to said pop-up portion substantially at said extremity;
- a rear panel underlying said slide panel and connected to said front panel along one of said edges thereof, said front and rear panels sandwiching said slide panel between them;
