  • Publication number: 20060135037
    Abstract: A modified greetings card (10) is formed from a pair of first and second leaves (11, 12) divided by a hinge line (13). When the card (10) is closed, the first and second leaves (11, 12) are arranged so as to overlie one another by folding along the hinge line (13), whilst when the card (10) is open, the first and second leaves (11, 12) are arranged to lie alongside one another. The modified card (10) includes confetti ejection apparatus, in the form of a confetti chamber (14) mounted on an inner surface of the second leaf (12). A confetti ejection member (26) is mounted for movement within the chamber (14). Deployment of the ejection member (26) is prevented when the card (10) is closed, by means of a retainer (23) mounted on an inner surface of the first leaf (11). However, when the card (10) is opened, the retainer (23) is released, allowing deployment of the ejection member (26), and thus causing ejection of a measure of confetti (25) held within the chamber (14).
