Abstract: There is provided a foldable product, such as a map, which is formed from a sheet (10) of material such as stiff paper. The sheet (10) has predetermined folded and unfolded configurations by virtue of a predetermined pattern of fold lines (12, 13, 14, 19, 20, 23, 24). The fold lines are provided partly by creases and partly by lines of perforations depending on the stress in a particular area during folding and unfolding.

Abstract: There is provided a spine assembly for a book cover or loose-leaf folder. The cover or folder comprises a channel shaped spine member (4) connected by way of a hinge portion to cover boards and an associated device, perhaps incorporating a compass (36), having securing means for securing the associated device (30) and the spine member (4). The spine member (4) has a base (10), side wall portions (11, 12) and a pin (20) by which the associated device (30) is secured to the spine member (4).

Abstract: There is provided a map 10 in the form of a folded sheet of paper or paperboard. In the embodiment shown, the sheet is folded in concertina fashion about a number of parallel fold lines to define a number of panels 12 including a front panel 12a. A compass 13 provided in a plastic moulding 17 is secured at the top of the front panel 12a. The moulding 17 has a short flange at its topmost edge, which flange is generally perpendicular to the plane of the front panel 12a so as to extend over the top edges of the folded panels. The flange can be printed on its external surface for reference purposes.
