  • Patent number: 10262559
    Abstract: A foldable display comprising: a sleeve, two inserts spaced apart in an interior of the sleeve, and an elastic member comprising a first end coupled to one insert and a second end coupled to the other insert such that the elastic member extends between the two inserts. Each insert is coupled to an interior surface of the sleeve. When the display is in a collapsed position, the sleeve is in a flattened state and each insert is in a folded position that increases a distance between the two inserts. When the display is in a deployed position, each insert is in an unfolded position that decreases the distance between the two inserts. One or more sections of an outer perimeter of each insert contact one or more adjacent sections of the interior surface of the sleeve and bias the sleeve outward such that the sleeve forms a three-dimensional figure.
