Abstract
Abstract A display mount and method of making same for holding calendars, photographs, and the like, is provided with a rectangular backing panel, an intermediate spacing panel mounted adjacent thereto, and a partial face panel mount in the front of the intermediate panel. The panels have been case bound with a facing material and die cut to form one or more mounting wells therein. The pockets for the mounting well use only a partial face panel allowing for easy removal of the die cut portions, and the reduction of the weight of the display mount. The method includes cutting a single piece of planar material and scoring parallel lines for folding into three panels. Incisions are usually cut into the intermediate panel for the display mount at the same time so that when the boards are folded parallel and case bound, the mounting well can be die cut, cutting a section from the partial face board, and a partial section from the intermediate panel co-acting with the already cut portion in the intermediate panel and the cut portions can be removed to form the well and pockets.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
194 words
A display mount comprising in combination: a generally rectangular back panel, an adjacent intermediate spacing panel substantially the same size as said back panel, and a face panel having an area substantially smaller than said adjacent back and intermediate panels, adjacent to said intermediate panel and located adjacent three edges thereof; flexible binding means secured to the front exposed area of said face panel and intermediate panel; means for holding said back panel, intermediate panel, and facing panel together about the edges thereof, said means including binding said face panel to the front of said intermediate panel; an aperture extending through the front area of said display mount through a portion of the face panel and the intermediate panel, said smaller face panel having three edges facing said aperture and said intermediate panel having four edges with each face panel of the aperture overlapping the corresponding edges of said intermediate panel to form pockets with an intermediate spacing from the back panel for holding sheet material or the like inserted in the pocket whereby two levels are formed on the front area of said display mount intersecting the aperture in the front area thereof.
