Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de montage pliable (100) pour une illustration (50). Le système de montage (100) comprend une structure de base continue (10-14) ayant un côté supérieur et un côté inférieur opposé au côté supérieur, et comprend une partie centrale polygonale (10, 10') et des bandes de bord (11-14). La partie centrale (10, 10') comprend, sur le côté supérieur, une zone de support polygonale (10) pour une partie de visualisation de l'illustration (50) et au moins une ligne de pliage interne (2) pour plier la partie centrale (10, 10'). La partie de visualisation est définie par des premières lignes de pliage périphériques (1) de la structure de base (10-14). L'au moins une ligne de pliage intérieure (2) s'étend entre deux des premières lignes de pliage périphériques (1). Chacune des bandes de bord (11-14) est reliée à la partie centrale (10, 10'), est pliable par rapport à la partie centrale (10, 10') le long de l'une des premières lignes de pliage périphériques (1), et comprend des secondes lignes de pliage périphériques (7-9) qui sont parallèles à l'une des premières lignes de pliage périphériques (1). Au niveau du côté supérieur, chacune des bandes de bord (11-14) comprend en outre une zone interne (3) pour fixer l'illustration (50) et une zone externe (4). Les bandes de bord (11-14) peuvent être pliées en des éléments de périmètre tridimensionnel correspondants.
