Abstract
A picture display card (2) which may be rectangular, circular or any shape, comprising an interior sliding member (16), which is attached to the end of a display panel (24), at an extension (26), which when pulled at tab (19) from the opposite end of the device (2) raises the said panel (24) from the top-surface (23) into a vertical position, by levering the said panel (24) about a fulcrum on two projecting arms (28), cut from the top surface (23). A projecting spur (27) extending from the base of the display panel (24) engages with a slit (20), cut into the base (18), going through an aperture (17) on the sliding member (16), locking the said panel (24) into the vertical position.
Claims15
A graphic display device comprising an envelope (18, 23) and a display panel (24) attached to the envelope by two arms (28) a opposite sides of the display panel (24), said display panel and arms being cut from a top surface (23) of the envelope;
- an internal sliding member (16) being slidable in the envelope (18, 23) and attached top an extension portion (26) of the display panel (24) extending from a fold (0—0) at a base of the display panel between said arms (28), such that when a tab (19) at an end of the sliding member (16) remote from said extension portion is pulled, the display panel (24) is rotated about a fulcrum formed by fold lines (R—R, P—P) running transversely in the arms (28) from a first position in which the display panel (24) is flush with base section (18) of the envelope to a second position in which the display panel (24) is at i angle to the base section (18).
A graphic display device comprising an envelope (3, 8), and a display panel (11), an interior sliding member (12) within the envelope being attached to the display pane (11) at a position which in use is below a fulcrum of the display panel (11) formed by an edge (E—E) of an interior fixed member (10) fixed within the envelope, the display panel (11) extending, in a position prior to deployment, on the same plane as the envelope (3, 8) within an aperture (9) in the envelope which aperture is marginally larger than the display panel (11) in which position an image or graphic on the side of the display panel (11) facing the envelope, is hidden, the sliding member (12) being arranged to lever the display panel (11) upright by rotating a shorter end of the display panel (11) extending beyond the edge (E—E) forming the fulcrum and thereby raising a longer, outside part of the panel (11) into an upright position.
