Erectable displays and methods of making such erectable displays are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a display apparatus including a shroud having a first sheet and a second sheet disposed in opposition to one another, the first sheet and the second sheet being connected to one another at a first end by a first joint and at a second end by a second joint. The display apparatus includes at least one support member disposed between the first and second sheets and between the first and second joints, the support member(s) being configured to outwardly bias the first and second sheets to cause the shroud to assume a curvilinear cross-sectional shape along at least a portion of a longitudinal axis of the shroud.

A pop-up card includes an erectable pop-up display structure that can be easily removed from the card to be displayed. The pop-up card is foldable between closed and opened positions. The card includes a slot therein for holding the pop-up display structure. The pop-up display structure comprises a plurality of intersecting slice-form elements mounted on a foldable base. At least a portion of the foldable base is removably inserted in the slot such that when the card is closed, the foldable base is folded and the pop-up display structure is in a flattened state. When the card is opened, the foldable base is unfolded and the pop-up display structure is in an erected 3-D state. The pop-up display structure can be slid out of the slot in the card and displayed when desired.

A pop-up gift card includes a card that is foldable along a fold line between closed and opened positions. The card includes a separable perforated section extending over both sides of the fold line. An erectable pop-up display structure comprising a plurality of intersecting slice-form elements is mounted on the perforated section of the card. When the card is closed, the pop-up display structure is in a flattened state, and when the card is opened, the pop-up display structure is in an erected 3-D state. The pop-up display structure can be removed from the card by separating the perforated section from the rest of the card. A support element can be affixed to the perforated section for maintaining the pop-up display structure in the 3-D state when the pop-up display structure is removed from the card.

A method and apparatus for avoidance of damage to concealed mechanical elements during construction or repair of a structure. In one embodiment, a tag is provided for installation on a plumbing or similar element prior to such element being concealed by further construction. The tag is adapted to engage a concealed element in such a way that an indicator portion of the tab remains visible after further concealing structure is installed. The visible tab's location identifies the location of concealed elements and is preferably provided with indicia identifying such purpose. In a further embodiment of the invention, adhesive indicator tape is used in conjunction with an indicator tab. The indicator tape is adapted to be applied over concealing structure to generally identify the location and extent of concealed elements that may be susceptible to puncture or damage during subsequent construction or repair phases of a project.

Implementations described and claimed herein provide an imitation flower bouquet system. In one implementation, an imitation flower arrangement has a decorative portion and a base portion, with the decorative portion including at least one imitation flower. An imitation vase includes a plurality of panels. The base portion of the imitation flower arrangement is mounted to the plurality of panels of the imitation vase at a set of one or more connections in a translational relationship. The translational relationship creates a free standing imitation flower bouquet that is moveable between a folded position and an unfolded position by translating movement between the imitation flower arrangement and the imitation vase.

A display board is provided. The display board may include a left panel, a left-middle panel, a center panel, a right-middle panel, a right panel, a left-top fold section, a right-top fold section, a left-bottom fold section, and/or a right-bottom fold section. The display board may be configured to be placed in at least a display configuration and a closed configuration. The left panel and the left-middle panel may intersect with an exterior orientation. The right-middle panel and the center panel may intersect with the interior orientation. The right panel and the right-middle panel may intersect with the exterior orientation. The left-middle panel and the center panel may intersect with an interior orientation. The front sides of panels that intersect at the exterior orientation may face away from each other in the display configuration and in the closed configuration. The back sides of panels that intersect at the interior orientation may face away each other in the display configuration and in the closed configuration.

An information display stand is built up by two panels and two transverse locking inserts by means of which the stand can be expanded from an idle flat state to an expanded state of use. Each locking insert has a tongue member and a tongue receiving member which are in sliding connection. By this sliding, the locking inserts can assume an extended form corresponding to the idle formation of the stand and a retracted form corresponding to the expanded state of the stand. The tongue member and the tongue receiving member have matching engagement means which form a stopping mechanism for the locking assembly.

A pop-up structure with a lock mechanism that functions to retain the pop-up structure in an unfolded or fully erect configuration. The lock mechanism contains a base panel, main panel, locking tab and one or more stopper mechanisms. The lock mechanism interacts with the pop-up structure and is mainly contained within a cavity of the pop-up structure. The lock mechanism can be accessed through an opening in a base. Users may move a lock tab clockwise to retain the pop-up structure in an open position and then move the lock tab counterclockwise to close the pop-up structure.

Disclosed herein is a simulated Ghana Christmas hut, in accordance with some embodiments. Accordingly, the simulated Ghana Christmas hut comprises a base structure and huts. Further, the base structure is configured to be disposed on a surface. Further, the huts are supported on the base structure. Further, the huts are stacked on the base structure in a vertical direction based on a hut size of the huts. Further, each hut comprises a side wall and a roof corresponding to the hut size of each hut. Further, the roof is attached to the side wall along a top edge of the side wall for forming a hut interior space. Further, the side wall of each hut comprises an opening leading into the hut interior space of each hut. Further, the side wall and the roof of each hut are comprised of coconut fronds.

Implementations described and claimed herein provide an imitation flower bouquet system. In one implementation, an imitation flower arrangement has a decorative portion and a base portion, with the decorative portion including at least one imitation flower. An imitation vase includes a plurality of panels. The base portion of the imitation flower arrangement is mounted to the plurality of panels of the imitation vase at a set of one or more connections in a translational relationship. The translational relationship creates a free standing imitation flower bouquet that is moveable between a folded position and an unfolded position by translating movement between the imitation flower arrangement and the imitation vase.
