  • Patent number: 4865325
    Abstract: A jigsaw puzzle support and storage board includes a base with a table portion upon which a puzzle may be assembled. A peripheral wall around the table portion forms a cavity, with the table portion forming the bottom thereof. A pair of bi-fold doors are operably mounted to opposite ends of the base, and will move between a closed position completely covering the table portion, and an open position fully revealing the table portion. The panels of the bi-fold doors are hinged such that when the doors are moved upwardly and outwardly to reveal the cavity, the panels will stack on top of one another adjacent the cavity. A resilient material covers the lower surfaces of the bi-fold doors so as to bias puzzle pieces against the table portion (when the bi-fold doors are closed) and thereby hold the puzzle pieces in position during transport of the device. Each bi-fold door has a storage container mounted therein located on adjacent panels so as to be in close proximity when the doors are in a closed position.
