  • Patent number: 3971149
    Abstract: A display device, for advertising or other purposes, is adapted for arrangement into a three-dimensional configuration and includes a printed sheet divided into first and second sections along a fold line. Adhesive on the back of one section secures the display on a supporting surface. Adhesive on the front, printed surface, close to the fold line, and adhesive near the edge of the remaining section remote from the fold line permit that section to be curled back from the fold line and held in a cylindrical or other three-dimensional shape. The adhesive near the fold line secures adjacent front surface portions face-to-face when the sheet is creased along the fold line. The adhesive near the edge affixes that edge to the sheet back near the crease. The face-to-face adhesion at the crease reduces movement of the three-dimensional shape, and in the case of a cylinder, maintains the cylindrical shape and accurately locates the cylinder.
