ABSTRACT:
An expandable apparatus for displaying multiple panoramic scenes includes a multiplicity of plates and a plurality of folded segments disposed between and attached to opposite lateral end portions of the plates. The plates includes a front plate containing a viewing aperture, a rear plate containing a background scene thereon, and a plurality of intermediate plates disposed consecutively between the front and rear plates. The intermediate plates contain a variety of scenes thereon being complementary to the background scene on the rear plate. The intermediate plates have respective cutouts therein for permitting observing through the viewing aperture the scenes on the rear plate and consecutive ones of the intermediate plates closer to the rear plate than to the front plate. The folded segments connect the plates so as to retain them in aligned relationship front to back with one another and permit them to be moved toward and away from each other for the viewing together of the scenes depicted on the respective intermediate and rear plates. The apparatus also has a pair of handles connected to the front and rear plates and used to move the plates toward and away from one another so as to convert the apparatus between expanded viewing and collapsed storage positions.
