  • Patent number: 4313270
    Abstract: An illustrative or promotional item having front and rear relatively pivotable covers joined together along a vertical line and a die-cut panel which includes a plurality of subpanels having upper and lower extensions. The lateral edge of each extension nearest the vertical line carries a hinged tab, and the opposite lateral edge of each extension is connected to the remainder of the die-cut panel along vertical hinge line segments. A section of the remainder of the die-cut panel is adhesively attached to the interior surface of the front cover adjacent the vertical line, and an opening is preferably provided in the front cover through which the subpanels can be seen. When the item is opened by swinging the front and rear covers relative to each other, the subpanels pivot to become oriented edgewise to the rear cover. Preferably, the proportions are such that, upon opening completely, the front and rear covers lie in the same plane and the subpanels have rotated 180.degree.
