Abstract
Abstract A method of making a display mount 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 then cut into the intermediate panel for the display mount, 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: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
176 words
A method of making a display mount comprising the steps of: cutting a blank of planar material to form a back, an intermediate, and a partial face panel, and cutting at least one curved incision into the intermediate panel of three panels formed on said blank; superimposing said panels to form face-to-face planar surfaces with said partial face panel extending over at least a portion of said cut incisions in said intermediate panel; case binding the front of said superimposed panels with a flexible lining material extending about multiple edges and adhesively attaching said lining material thereto for binding said panels together; simultaneously die cutting a generally U-shaped incision in said partial face panel extending to a line inside one edge thereof and cutting a generally inverted U-shape into said intermediate panel co-acting with said incision already made in said intermediate panel; and removing the severed portions of said partial panel and said intermediate panel to form a display mount having an inserting passage between the overlapping edges of said face panel and said base panel.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
176 words
A method of making a display mount comprising the steps of: cutting a blank of planar material to form a back, an intermediate, and a partial face panel, and cutting at least one curved incision into the intermediate panel of three panels formed on said blank; superimposing said panels to form face-to-face planar surfaces with said partial face panel extending over at least a portion of said cut incisions in said intermediate panel; case binding the front of said superimposed panels with a flexible lining material extending about multiple edges and adhesively attaching said lining material thereto for binding said panels together; simultaneously die cutting a generally U-shaped incision in said partial face panel extending to a line inside one edge thereof and cutting a generally inverted U-shape into said intermediate panel co-acting with said incision already made in said intermediate panel; and removing the severed portions of said partial panel and said intermediate panel to form a display mount having an inserting passage between the overlapping edges of said face panel and said base panel.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
The method in accordance with claim 1, in which the step of removing the severed portions of said partial panel and said intermediate panel includes removing the severed portions bound together by said flexible binding.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
68 words
The method in accordance with claim 2, in which said step of cutting a blank of planar material and cutting at least one curved incision into the intermediate panel of said three panels includes cutting two incisions, each having a hook like shape whereby die cutting a generally U-shaped incision in said partial face panel will produce a bottom partially overlapping edge partially overlapping said intermediate cutout panel.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
49 words
The method in accordance with claim 1, including the step of attaching a calendar to the removed severed portion of said intermediate panel to form a second display mount having the face panel severed portion as a support panel case bound to said severed portion of the intermediate panel.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
58 words
The method in accordance with claim 4, including the step of printing on the case binding of said display mount prior to removing said die cut portion of said partial face panel and intermediate panel, said printing including printing on the case binding of said severed portion to provide a custom printed display mount from the severed portion.
