ABSTRACT:
A pop-up polyhedron greeting card or the like, is formed of two identical blanks which are adhesively secured together about the inwardly folded flanges of the trapezoidal faces of the device. Opposed inward flanges are tied together using an elastic band or cord, with the cord urging the two opposite flanges together to erect the card, to form a three dimensional polyhedral shape symmetrical about its equatorial plane. Various attachment embodiments are provided for the elastic band within the device, thus ensuring that the band will not become disengaged from its attachment points, regardless of the variation of tension on the band between the collapsed and erected states of the device. The device may be secured or suspended from another surface or object by using a magnet secured to one face of the device, for attachment to a magnetic object (refrigerator door, etc.), or by using a hook extending from one of the two central faces so the device may be suspended, e. g., Christmas tree ornament, etc. Applications of the polyhedral card device include greeting cards, calendars, advertisements, coin depositories or the like, and the display of other informational and graphical indicia.
