` Inordertoachieve our,non-invertingfeature inthe vpop-up construction v'where our blank is As shown in Fig. 3, the blankL I2 isform'edfrom a iiat;sheet33 of paper, cardboard,-or similar,V
material. ,The sheet is die-cut along the plural-v ity of solid'lines 34,*and vscored along the yplurality of dotted lines35, The blank is also scored 1 along the fold lines I'I, I8, and I9. These fold lines divide the blank into-,four pagesorsections; the left exterior section 2l),` the left interior section 2 I, the right interior section 22, andthe right exterior section 23.` Y As shown inFigs l ^andr 2, the blank is folded along thefoldlines I1, I8, and I9 so as tol form whatv may be termed a.' dou-Vv ble folio." The.` interior sections 2I and22 have been'r out, scored and folded'respectively along the series of solid lines 34 and the series of vdotted lines 35 indicated inFig. Sto integrally.provideY a pop-up structure 24, in accordance withY the usual method which is well'known in theart..
As'shown Iin Fig. 2, the pop-upstructure 24 l consists of a pluralityof horizontal planes `25 and eachof the exterior sections `20 and k23, fromthe' fold line thereof Vto aline running tangent tothe 1 2 inside edgeof the plurality of slots Y3,0 vis. denotedV combined'widthsk vertical planes 26, which armut and bent lfrom, 7
the interior sections, and V.which planes are inte-i grlally joined to each other at the foldline'which marks their line `of intersection. The :pop-up structure,`when decorated and coloredasishown,
produces a three dimensional picture which popsr I up, or isself-erecting when'the folio is opened. 1
' As shown in Fig; 1,l `the'exterior rsec'tirorisZIl and 23 serve to( conceal the cut out'larea 210i the interiorsections, from lwhich the pop-*up scene is cut, and thusV prevent!lightfrom4 being seen f an accordion-like spring suspendedY between the exterior'sections whicnresists tension, or being puuedfppnat. rneexteirjsecnons cannot 'lay l iiatk becasethefoldedlendsthereof are joined tothe shorterinteriorsections. Thus the interior v sectionswill not beilaid fiat Whenthe Vbook is' laid? through the back fthe. nepiup scene, .The non? visible sides 3l and 32 of the exterior sections 'f book; Y f f Alternately, whenourblank is bound intoanor-v `N ote that'in` Figs 3, the widthsof each interior sections 2`I and 22 isth'e dimension Vdenoted, by the 'symbolA/2; Thus the combined of thel exterior sections' B.

widths of the interior sections is A. The width of by the sumbol .Bk/72;` Thus the As shown in '.Fig.`4, Whenthevmechanically v Y bound pop-upbook is laid out flat, and thecombined" widthsV of the interior sections -A is shorter than thecombined widths ofthe exterior sections Y Brplus the effective distance of separation between y the lines'of vslots atthe ends vof the exterior` sections duetothe presence of themechanical binder, which;eiectivedistance' fseparation is normally "I less than theV diameter; of the ring binder and vis labeneac, thenthe yforced in'tnflor sections with' 'the' folded popfsupv "structure therebetween forms openfanjd theppp-lipseetions are protected Yfrom inverting and damage due to over-opening of the mally; bound' book, there is no mechanical rbinder to effeetively separate the'fexteriqrsections; thus y 'to Vachievethe required effect, the exterior vsec-g, 75 tions are Vfolded.

ascisse tenor sections so that when 'the edges of fthe ex of ythese `will not b'e 'transmitted to fan lopened section or iolio of our construction and operate to-pull -ito'pen as often -occurs inordinary pop-up construction. v
In our 'mechanically bound fbo'olt,y when the double folio is first opened, the 'end'sof the longer y exterior `sections, 'separate lfrom each other vand rotate 4around'the binder rings. vWhen the r`folio is lfully opened, as shown i-'n Figi. 4, the exterior sections laire' widely separated on the binder rings,
and the' blank is supported centrally by thei'ing `binder, -the'exterior sections being under 'a compressive load, and the interior sections being under tension. l s
If `external pressureis `brought to bear downglued together between l heavyacover's, :theirs/eight Ward on one side o'r the other of theface of :the a folio so as to press the pop-up into the interior sections, theexterior sections which are functioning fasoverly-long slim fcolumn's, -bend or buckle -under the lcompressive load long before the iinterior sections will tear or flattenfcompletely under itension; Thus the pop-up structure, so supported, willresist being forced-backintoregistration with thel cut-out portion of 'the interior sections,'and thereby inversion-ofthe pop-up will be resisted and prevented. -In fact, we haveV found -thatdeliberate manipulation is generallyfrcquired to flatten out '-the internal sections and so -get 'the pop-up structures in aposition where they will invert themselves.
Asa general -matter `nolpreciseformula caribe givenfor the amount by 'whichlength B,in the case of a normally -boundbo'ok, 'or length B plus C,in the case of'a mechanically bound book, must beh-greater than length `A, Lin order to obtain an eiective-non-inverting structure. vThe thickness of the paper from which the blank is out, the
width of the sections comprising the blank, 'the 'amountl of area devoted to 'pop-upf structure, the
`number Tof fold lines, and even'the method 'of makingvfold lines, whether by scoring 'a solidline 'orscoring a broken-line, -will all affect the rels-iliency ofthe structureand vary the ratio 'between the lengths A. and the'lengths B or B plus C which 'iis required to produce la non-inverting structure.
As-an example, howeverpwefhave found that in'fproducinga pop-up book,the following dimensionsand specifications-will produce a substaneffectively spreads -theslotsiin'the exterior secp responds to the length C in Fig,
The interior sections of our bookv are folded to be '7l/2 wide. `Thus length Af is 15"". The exteriorsections of our book,from the foldline to 'al linerunning Ytangent .totheiinside edge of the slots, :are T5/8 wide. `Thuslength Bis *15%1 wide .fand vis approximately 1%" 'greater than length A.
The sum of lengths B and C is therefore approximately 151/2", the percentage difference beinto ffa Ebook, said folio blankhaving lthree transf verse fold lines thereon, marking said blank'v into foury sections, the two interior sections being y folded ifacevt'o face talongthe intermediate of `said linesi the 'two exterior sections Abeing folded back against`ftl1e lbacks of :the interior sections along the others .ofisaid'llines said interior sections being vcutfand bent 'to provide a plurality of extensions lin various .horizontal and vertical. planes` which are self-erectingfinto :apope-up scene when theinteriorsections.areiopened l r2.
