Description

INTERACTIVE GREETINGS CARD This invention relates to an interactive greetings card.
Greetings cards are, ordinarily, two dimensional surfaces displaying a fixed image.
Greetings cards are purely visual and require no further interaction.
According to the present invention there is provided an interactive greetings card which has tactile qualities comprising a sealed, soft, transparent pouch containing oil-based and water-based colours set in a mount the front of which has a design composed of a printed surface and a cut-out shape which reveals a corresponding area of the pouch whereby applied manual pressure creates change within the design of the card.
A specific embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawing in which: Figure 1 shows in plan, the component parts of the interactive greetings card.
Figure 2 illustrates in exploded view, the configuration of the component parts.
Figure 3 shows the assembled interactive greetings card.
Referring to the drawing the interactive greetings card comprises a pouch and a mount. The pouch 12 is sealed, soft and transparent containing oil-based and water-based colours.
The mount consists of two parts - a back 10 and a front 11.
The front 11 has a design composed of a printed surface and a cut-out shape.
The back 10 is plain.
The pouch 12 is sandwiched between the front 11 and the back 10 of the mount as illustrated in Fig 2 and secured by, for example, glue (not shown).
When assembled the cut-out area of the front 11 reveals a corresponding area of the pouch 12 thereby enabling this visible area of the pouch 12 to be seen as an integral part of the design when viewed from the front as shown in Fig 3.
