Abstract

Abstract An article for displaying a plural leafed greeting card. The plural leaves may move around a common axis, or they may move around different axes. An article for displaying a two-leafed greeting card is made of two leaf supports connected together at a desired display angle, either stationary or variable, by a hinge. The first leaf support has a first part for receiving the first laf of the greeting card and is transparent on both faces to allow display of both sides of the first leaf of the greeting card. The second leaf support has a second part for receiving the last leaf of the greeting card and has at least one transparent side allowing display of at least one side of the second leaf of the greeting card. The display article may be inserted in a separate frame and support having added esthetic properties or having additional features such as added strength to protect against breakage during shipment, such as through the mail. An article for displaying a three-leafed greeting card, where the first and third leaves move around different axes, is made of three leaf supports having a first connecting part, such as a hinge, between the first and second leaf supports and having a second connecting part between the second and third leaf supports. The first leaf support and first part for receiving the first leaf of the greeting card are transparent on both sides to allow unhindered viewing of both sides of the first leaf of the greeting card.
