  • Patent number: 12108854
    Abstract: The foldable holder includes a first panel, a second panel, a third panel, a shroud, and a retractable closure. The foldable holder is foldable between a closed configuration in which the panels are stacked and an open configuration in which the panels are substantially coplanar with one another. The shroud attaches to the second panel to define a shroud passage between the second panel and the shroud. The retractable closure is moveable between a secured state in which the retractable closure is engaged with the first panel to retain the closure in the closed configuration and a retracted state. The retractable closure comprises an elastic retraction member to urge the retractable closure towards the retracted state and a closure tab engaged with the engagement surface in the secured state. The closure tab is at least partially disposed within the shroud passage in the retracted state.
