Abstract
A multi-panel display device, a blank therefor, and a method of forming a multi-panel device for display. The blank may have 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. The center panel, the first, side panel, and the second side panel may all have the same height. A ratio of the width of the center panel to a width of each of the first and second side panels may be approximately 2:1.
Claims21
A method of assembling a multi-panel device for display, the method comprising:
- providing a folded blank comprising:
- a center panel having a first edge, a second edge, and a front surface;
- a first side panel having a first free edge, a second edge, a top edge, a front surface, and a rear surface, 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 front surface, and a rear surface, 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 front surface, 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 first side panel folded over the center panel about the first pre-weakened line and the second side panel folded over the center panel about the second pre-weakened line;
- separating the header panel from the second side panel by tearing along the third pre-weakened line;
- unfolding the folded blank by rotating the first and second side panels relative to the center panel about the first and second pre-weakened lines, respectively, so that the front surfaces of each of the first and second side panels forms an obtuse angle with the front surface of the center panel;
- and
- coupling the header panel to the top edge of each of the first and second side panels to form an assembled multi-panel device for display.

A blank for a multi-panel display device comprising:
- a center panel having a first edge, a second edge, a top edge, and a bottom edge, a first height measured between the top and bottom edges of the center panel and a first width measured between the first and second edges of the center panel;
- a first side panel having a first edge, a second edge, a top edge, and a bottom edge, a second height measured between the top and bottom edges of the first side panel and a second width measured between the first edge and the second edge 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, and a bottom edge, a third height measured between the top and bottom edges of the second side panel and a third width measured between the first and second 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 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;
- and
- wherein each of the first, second, and third heights is the same;
- and
- wherein the third width of the second side panel is greater than or equal to the first width of the center panel minus the second width of the first side panel.

A blank for a multi-panel display device comprising:
- a center panel having a first edge and a second edge, a first width measured between the first and second edges of the center panel, the center panel being devoid of pre-weakened lines 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 width measured between the first free edge and the second edge of the first side panel;
- 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, a third width measured between the first and second edges of the second side panel;
- 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;
- and
- wherein a ratio of the first width to the second width is approximately 2:1.
