Abstract
In accordance with one aspect of the present disclosure, a greeting card is disclosed that includes a plurality of panels connected such that the greeting card is reconfigurable between a closed configuration and an open configuration, at least one object positioned between the plurality of panels that is reconfigurable between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration, and an attachment member connecting the at least one object to the plurality of panels such that the at least one object can be detached from the plurality of panels. In various embodiments, the greeting card may further include a locking member that is configured and dimensioned to maintain the expanded configuration of the at least one object.
Claims20
A greeting card comprising:
- a plurality of panels connected such that the greeting card is reconfigurable between a closed configuration and an open configuration, at least one of the plurality of panels defining at least one opening;
- at least one object positioned between the plurality of panels such that movement of the greeting card from the closed configuration to the open configuration transitions the at least one object from a collapsed configuration to an expanded 3D configuration, and movement of the greeting card from the open configuration to the closed configuration transitions the at least one object from the expanded configuration to the collapsed configuration the at least one object including a plurality of intersecting members arranged in a lattice configuration;
- and
- an attachment member connecting the at least one object to the plurality of panels such that the at least one object can be selectively detached from the plurality of panels, the attachment member including at least one flap configured and dimensioned for positioning within the at least one opening defined by the panels.
A greeting card comprising:
- a plurality of adjacent panels;
- at least one expandable 3D object positioned between the plurality of panels, the at least one object including a plurality of intersecting members arranged in a lattice configuration;
- and
- a flap securing the at least one object to the plurality of panels such that the at least one object expands and collapses during opening and closing of the greeting card the flap including a weakened portion such that the at least one object can be selectively detached from the plurality of panels via separation along the weakened portion.
A greeting card comprising:
- a plurality of adjacent panels;
- at least one expandable 3D object positioned between the plurality of panels, the at least one object including a plurality of intersecting members defining a plurality of interstices when the at least one object is in an expanded configuration;
- and
- at least one flap securing the at least one object to the plurality of panels such that the at least one object expands and collapses during opening and closing of the greeting card the at least one flap including a weakened portion configured and dimensioned to permit separation of the at least one flap along the weakened portion such that the at least one object is selectively detachable from the plurality of panels.
