Abstract: Self-erectable displays and methods of making such self-erectable displays are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a shroud including a first shroud panel opposite a second shroud panel, the first shroud panel and the second shroud panel coupled at a first end of the shroud and a second end of the shroud. A support to be coupled to a first internal surface of the first shroud panel at a first position and to a second internal surface of the second shroud panel at a second position, the first position and the second position located between the first end and the second end, and an elastic band disposed about an exterior of the support, the elastic band biasing the first position away from the second position.

Abstract: Self-erectable displays and methods of making such self-erectable displays are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a shroud including a first shroud panel, a second shroud panel coupled to the first shroud panel, and an interior formed between the first shroud panel and the second shroud panel. A support is disposed in the interior of the shroud, the support including a top edge, a bottom edge, and first and second sides edges, the first side edge coupled adjacent the second side edge, and one of the first side edge or the second side edge coupled to one of the first shroud panel or the second shroud panel. A biasing member is coupled to the support such that at least a portion of the biasing member is substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the support, the biasing member to cause a portion of the first shroud panel to separate from a portion of the second shroud panel.

Abstract: Self-erectable displays and methods of making such self-erectable displays are disclosed. An example apparatus including a shroud including a first shroud panel opposite a second shroud panel, the first and second shroud panels being coupled to form a first end opposite a second end; a support coupled within the shroud, the support including a top edge, a bottom edge, and first and second side edges, the first and second edges extending through an aperture defined by the support; and an elastic band to be coupled to the support to outwardly bias the first shroud panel from the second shroud panel to urge the shroud to be positioned in an expanded position from a collapsed position, when the shroud is in the expanded position, the first and second side edges to engage a surface defining or immediately adjacent the first end or the second end.

Abstract: This disclosure describes an optical method of detecting the presence of pressure-sensitive labels, using the reflective properties of their edges. Labels that are removably attached to a liner are moved through a light beam that is directed across their direction of motion so the light impinges on the labels at a predetermined angle of incidence. The light remains in its initial incidence and reflection plane when it reflects off all parts of the liner and labels except the labels' edges. Due to the angularity of the labels' edges, the light beam is deflected out of the plane of incidence upon reflection off the edges, thus enabling detection of the label edges by light reflected out of the plane of incidence.
