  • Patent number: 11884090
    Abstract: A pivoting pop up article and method of making has a hinge fold positioned between a front cover and a rear cover. A displacement leaf includes a base, a leg and a tab. A base leaf couple secures the base of the displacement leaf to the front cover. The base is offset relative to the hinge fold for defining a base offset dimension between the hinge fold and the base. A first interior couple secures an interior leaf to the rear cover. A second interior couple secures the interior leaf to the rear cover. The first interior couple and the second interior couple define a channel between the rear cover and the interior leaf. The base offset dimension causes the displacement leaf to be pivoted within the channel during pivoting the front cover between a closed position and an open position for extending the tab above the rear cover.

The rear cover has an obverse side and a reverse side. An interior leaf has an obverse side, a reverse side, an inner edge and an outer edge. The interior leaf defines a leaf width. A binder couples the inner edge of the interior leaf with the reverse side of the front cover for defining a leaf offset dimension between the hinge fold and the inner edge of the interior leaf.
