Claims. 1
This invention relates in general to a folding display of cardboard, or the like, and has more particular reference to parts which are connected for rotary or pivoted movement in the collapsing and distending of the display.
An important object of the invention is to provide a folding display with pivotally connected parts made of the material of the display itself.
A further object of the invention is to provide a spaced and pivoted floating piece for use in a folding display.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a folding display having panels supported at different angles and a folding part pivoted to one panel and adapted to make angular connection with another panel.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a folding display having connected panels some of which are distended and held by rigid ly attached means and others of which are connected by a rotatable part which is spaced from the panels and connected at an angle thereto.
Other objects of the invention will appear in the specification and will be apparent from the accompanying drawings in which:
1 is a front View of a display in accordance with this invention in extended position;
Fig. 2 is a rear View of the display shown in Fig. 1;
3 shows a blank of the display;
Fig. 4 is a perspective showing the rear of the folded display piece of Fig. 1;
Fig. 5 is a sectional View of the display as shown in Fig. l
Fig. 6 is a detail section taken on the line 6-4 of Fig. 2;
Fig. '7 is a perspective of the modified form of the display;
Fig. 8 is a sectional view taken on the lines 8-43 of Fig. 7;
Fig. 9 is a rear view of the easel as shown at Fig. 8;
Fig. 10 is a sectional view taken on the line ill-l0 of Fig. 7;
Fig. 11 is a perspective of the display and holding box at the bottom of Fig. 7;
Fig. 12 is a section taken on the line liil2 of Fig. '7;
Fig. 13 is a sectional view taken on the line 13-4-3 of Fig. 12; and
Fig. 14 illustrates a modification of the mounting means.
In folding displays of cardboard, and the like, it has been the practice to attach parts 'forxfioating or rotary movement by means of eyelets or rivets so that one piece could be swung into the area of the other, in folding, thus reducing the folded size of the display to a minimum, and the parts relatively moved or rotated in setting up or distending the display. As it is now difficult or impossible to obtain metal pivoting parts, a rotary support or pivot made up of the material of the display itself is highly desirable in order to provide folding displays which can be collapsed or folded into a minimum space for storage or shipment and readily extended and rotated in setting up the display.
The present invention overcomes these 'c-ojections and difliculties, and provides an improved and novel form of pivoting connection for display parts in which one of the parts has a circular perforation or an opening and the other part has projections which fit into the perforation or opening and expand resiliently to hold the parts together for pivoting or rotary movement about the opening.
The outer faces of the display parts are usually printed to present a picture, a figure, a piece of apparatus, and the like, which may have angularly disposed or offset portions to vary the pictorial or other representation. Rotary, movable, or boxlike parts and projections are frequently added to form a part or the display and to provide an integral and interesting part of the composite design and structure which is presen-ted.
Referring now more particularly to the draw ings, a folding display comprising three con- I nested sections is shown in- Figurcs l to (i having a main panel l6 and side panels ii and i3 hinged thereto and foldable together in collapsing the display. Mounted upon. one of the panels for rotative movement with respect thereto is a display piece 2i) which is of a size to be con tained within the area or outline of one of the panels as It when the display is folded, but which is adapted to extend across the hinge between the adjacent panels and even to overlap the adjacent panel, when the display extended. The mounting for the display piece 2s for rotating it with respect to the panel comprises an integral or separate hinged projection '21 with flexible hinged tabs 22 extending oppositely and connected by an oiisetting flexible hinge 23 made of the material of the projection, the tabs formed thereby being easily pressed together and inserted through an opening or perforation 25 in the panel, the hinges 23 forming chords across the opening 2.51, if circular. and the tabs .22: having sufficient resilience tending to spread them outwardly to engage and retain the display piece in a rotary pivoted relation with respect to the panel. 7
At the other end of the display piece is a disengageable fastening means for attaching it to another panel. This may comprise a hinged projection 25' having a reduced tongue 2?, adapted to be inserted through a slot 28 in the adjacent panel. The projection 26 may be somewhat angular or wedge-shaped so that the panel to which tached to the adjacent panel and having a fold line 34 transversely thereof for collapsing it when disengaged from the easel 3!! within the confines intermediate panel 4?. and a slot iii! in the main panel 4!! for holding the box in distended supporting display position.
A rotatablymovable display piece 5| has a pivoting connection through a perforation 52 in the side panel 4| comprising a hinged and foldable member 53 attached at'its ends to the rear side of the piece 5|, having opposi e connecting sides 54 and opposite hinged tabs 55 connected by offsetting binges 55, the tabs being inserted through the perforation 52 and holding the display piece rotatably in connection with the panel. At the other end of the display piece is a hinged offsetting plate 51 having an outer edge at an angle to the back of the piece 5| and having a tongue 58 projecting therefrom and engageable in a slot 59 in the main panel 40.
In the above form of the in ention, the display box M serves to hold two of the panels in fixed angular position and the d splay piece holds the third panel at an angle to the other two wi h the display piece itself extending at a distance from all of the panels, but connecting them in angular display position.
When folded. the display piece is disconnected and swung into the area of the panel t I, the display box 44 is disconnected and folded upon a transverse fold line 39 within the area of the panel to which it is attached and the panels are folded together in compact relation to each other.
Instead of having the pi oting means attached to or formed integrally with the mo able piece, the connection may be reversed as illu trated in Fig. 14. A panel 6!! has a separate piece 5! attached thereto with opposite hinged proiecting tabs 62 which are inserted through a perforation 63 at one end of an arm or other member 61! to be mounted thereon. This arm is rotated within the area or confines of the panel fill, but maybe extended by rotation beyond the edge of the .panel and may be attached to another panel as shown and described or may be inserted through a slot 65 in the panel so that the outer or free end of the rotatable arm Ed is located on the face of the panel, the rotary mounting therefor being located on the back of the panel as shown.
Various other combinations and arrangements of the panels, the transverse display arm, the r0- tary mountings and the connections'may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
I claim:
