Abstract:
1. A method for converting a folder from a folder configuration to a ramp configuration, comprising acts of; opening a folder from a closed state to an open state, the folder having a substantially flat back panel with a first half and a second half, each of the first and second halves having a top portion and a bottom portion, wherein the bottom portion of each of the first and second halves includes a pocket affixed thereto, and wherein the top portion of each of the first and second halves includes a ramp portion extending therefrom, with a ramp fold line separating each ramp portion from the first or second half, wherein each ramp portion includes three sections delineated by fold lines, including a ramp side section, a ramp top section, and a ramp back section, with each ramp back section being connected with the first or second half along the ramp fold line, such that each ramp portion is foldable along the ramp fold line from a first state to a second state, wherein when in the first state, each ramp portion lays substantially flat against the first or second half, and when in the second state, each ramp side section is affixed against the first or second half such that the pockets remain uncovered by the ramp side sections and the ramp top sections are positioned substantially parallel with the first or second halves, with the ramp side sections facing one another to collectively form a ramp; lifting each ramp portion along the fold line from the first state such that each ramp portion no longer lays substantially flat against the first or second half; folding each ramp portion such that each ramp top section is elevated with respect to the first or second halves and substantially parallel with respect to the first and second halves, with the ramp side sections facing one another and inclined with respect to the first and second halves; and affixing each ramp side section against the first or second halves such that the pockets remain uncovered by the ramp section sections and each ramp top section is elevated with respect to the first or second halves and substantially parallel with respect to the first and second halves.
