  • Patent number: 4788109
    Abstract: A decorative display device which is capable of being folded from a relatively flat single sheet of material into a three-dimensional object. The sheet of material is embossed on its flat front face such that embossed segments project outwardly beyond the surface of the sheet with respect to non-embossed segments. In one embodiment, the sheet of material can serve as a poster or similar single sheet art decorative item. When folded and properly assembled, the sheet becomes a three-dimensional display device with embossed segments projecting beyond the non-embossed segments. A design on the face of the sheet cooperates with the segments such that the design on the flat sheet is re-created when the sheet is folded into a three-dimensional display device. Thus, the surface contour of the device conforms to and cooperates with the design on the sheet of material.

  • Patent number: 4708911
    Abstract: A decorative display device which is capable of being folded from a relatively flat single sheet of material into a three dimensional object. The sheet of material is provided with fold lines for defining areas to be folded and score lines defining areas to be cut and/or removed. In one embodiment, the sheet of material can serve as a poster or similar single sheet art decorative item. When folded and properly assembled, the sheet becomes a three dimensional display device which can also provide a utilitarian function, such as serving as a storage container, or the like. The display device has a surface contour which conforms to and co-operates with a pattern on the sheet of material. Thus, for example, a flag having a plurality of stripes may be printed on the sheet of material. When folded into the decorative display device the stripes co-act with and form raised and depressed areas in the surface contour of the decorative display device.
