- A die cut of a representative embodiment of the
greeting card 100 is shown inFIG. 1 . The die contains three main panels A, B, C. Three side panels D, E, F, extend between main panels A and B, main panels B and C and from the outer edge of panel C. Two panels C1, C2 also extend from the top and bottom of main panel C. Side panel D contains upper tab D1 and lower tab D2 and side panel E contains upper tab E1 and lower tab E2. Main panel A is connected to side panel D alongfold line 10. Side panel D is connected to main panel B alongfold line 12, to tab D1 alongfold line 18, and to tab D2 alongfold line 20. Main panel B is connected to side panel E alongfold line 14. Side panel E is connected to main panel C alongfold line 16, to tab E1 alongfold line 18 and to tab E2 alongfold line 20. Main panel C is connected to side panel F alongfold line 22, to tabbed panel C1 alongfold line 18 and to tabbed panel C2 alongfold line 20. Tabbed panel C1 is folded alongfold line 24 to create the tab portion of the panel C1 and tabbed panel C2 is folded alongfold line 26 to create the tab portion of panel C2. - Main panel A is double-sided and represents both the front face of the greeting card and the inside left panel of the greeting card. It may bear graphical and/or textual content and messages or other features or functions.
- Main panels B and C and side panels D, E and F are constructed to form a three-dimensional cavity in the form of a compartment or structure with volume for receiving and holding an object. To create the three-dimensional cavity, main panel B is folded along
fold lines fold lines fold line 18, tabs D2 and E2 are folded alongfold line 20. Then, the tabbed portions of panels C1 and C2 are inserted into the three-dimensional cavity thereby enclosing the cavity on all four sides. - A representative embodiment of the assembled
greeting card 100 is shown inFIG. 2A . According to this embodiment, Panel C, which is now the inner right side panel of thegreeting card 100, contains one opening, in the shape of a square (hereinafter referred to the “frame” 30), which is surrounded by panel C. In other embodiments, there may be more than one opening in any geometric shape or design. - In a second embodiment of the present disclosure, shown in
FIG. 2B , asound module 31 is added to the inside upper portion of the internal cavity of thegreeting card 100. In other embodiments, the sound module may be otherwise located somewhere inside the internal cavity of thegreeting card 100, based on the size of the object and the fixture contained within the cavity. Aslide tongue mechanism 33 is placed between panels A and C so that when thegreeting card 100 is opened the switch will close and trigger thesound module 31 to play a pre-recorded message or music clip. Thesound module 31 contains a circuit board (not shown), a battery source (not shown), a digital storage device (not shown), a switch (not shown), aslide tongue mechanism 33, and a speaker (not shown). - The three-dimensional cavity or compartment defined by panels B, C, D, and E can be configured for or used to hold any type of object or objects which can fit within the cavity. In the disclosed example, an object which has relevance to the subject matter of the
greeting card 100, such as a Christmas ornament, is held within the cavity and positioned within theframe 30 of panel C. Depending on the size and shape and material of the object, it may be inserted by itself in the cavity, multiple objects in the same cavity, or in combination with another object or article. - In this particular example, the holder or fixture shown in
FIG. 3 is an exemplary form of a formedobject fixture 32 which has an external dimension or configuration which fits within the cavity, e.g., a generally rectangular form which fits within the perimeter walls B, C, D and E of the cavity. Preferably, the object fixture is positioned within the cavity so that theobject 36 is located or centered within the frame. Theobject fixture 32 can be in one form a vacuum formed fixture with height or thickness which corresponds generally to the height of the side perimeter walls D, E, or contain an object-receiving cavity 34 (as shown inFIG. 3 ) which is relief formed and shaped to receive anobject 36. The object-receiving cavity 34 can be shaped to an exterior outline or configuration of theobject 36, such as for example the profile of an ornament, as shown inFIG. 4 . One ormore locking tabs 38 may be provided at a perimeter of the object-receiving cavity 34, which protrude slightly into the area of theobject 36, and past which theobject 36 is moved in order to be fully inserted and held within the object-receivingcavity 34. This locking feature of theobject fixture 32 further secures theobject 36 within the entire greetingcard ornament assembly 100. Also, formed as part of theobject fixture 32 may be one ormore indents 40 about a perimeter of the object-receivingcavity 34 in order to facilitate manual removal or extraction of theobject 36 from thefixture 32. When theobject 36 is located within the opening in theframe 30, the removal of theobject 36 from the object-receiving cavity 34 of thefixture 32 can be done directly through the frame opening, i.e., without removal of theobject fixture 32 from the internal cavity of thegreeting card 100. The object fixture with enclosed object is inserted into thegreeting card 100 through either of the tabbed openings C1, C2 located at the top and bottom edge of the cavity, as shown inFIG. 5 . - Once the greeting card ornament assembly is assembled and the object fixture with object is inserted into the cavity in the greeting card, a four-sided transparent
plastic cover 42 is inserted over panels B and C or the greeting card cavity, also shown inFIG. 5 . The transparentplastic cover 42 contains two main panels with the same dimensions as panels B and C, and a top and bottom panel with the same dimensions as panel C1 and C2. The sides of the transparentplastic cover 42 are open so that thecover 42 can easily slide over the greeting card cavity and protect the front and back sides of thegreeting card 100 and in particular, shield theframe 30 located in panel C so that the object or ornament contained inside is not damaged. - This disclosure further includes a three-
dimensional envelope 42, shown inFIG. 6 . Theenvelope 44 is configured with side walls V, W, X located along three aligned edges of two opposed main panels T, U of theenvelope 44 and a flap closure Z located along a fourth side. The side walls V, W, X, are preferably pleated for easy storage and shipping. The width of the side walls is equal to or greater than a thickness of the greetingcard ornament assembly 100 in order to receive and hold it therein. - The foregoing embodiments of the present invention have been presented for the purposes of illustration and description. These descriptions and embodiments are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise form disclosed, and obviously many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above disclosure.
