Abstract:
1. A snap mobile for advertising a product or event, comprising: a) a display card formed from a single material having a first printed surface and an oppositely aligned second surface, said display card having a length, a width and a thickness, said width being greater than said length, said width being divided by at least five score lines into a first panel, a second panel, a third panel, a fourth panel, a fifth panel and a sixth panel, said first and sixth panels having an equal width, each of said score lines extending along said length of said display card, and one of said at least five score lines is formed at a midsection of said width of said display card, said score line formed at said midsection being an intermittent score line having a plurality of land areas each separated by a perforation which extends completely through said thickness, said intermittent score line permitting said third and fourth panels to be inverted onto said second and fifth panels; b) an adhesive securing said second surface of said first panel to said second surface of said sixth panel once said sixth panel is overlaid onto said first panel to form a first member, and said first member having a height equal to said length of said display card and said first member having a top edge; c) said second, third, fourth and fifth panels capable of moving relative to one another to enable said snap mobile to acquire three separate and distinct first, second and third positions after said first member is formed; when said snap mobile is in said first position, said first surface of said second panel is aligned at an angle to said first surface of said first panel, said first surface of said third panel is aligned at a reflex angle to said first surface of said second panel, said first surface of said fourth panel is aligned at a reflex angle to said first surface of said third panel, said first surface of said fifth panel is aligned at a reflex angle to said first surface of said fourth panel, and said first surface of said sixth panel is aligned at an angle to said first surface of said fifth panel to form a hollow cavity completely surrounded by said second, third, fourth and fifth panels, said hollow cavity having a central axis aligned parallel to said height of said first member, when said snap mobile is in said second position, said second panel overlays said third panel to form a second member and said fourth panel overlays said fifth panel to form a third member, and said first, second and third members are aligned at 120° relative to each other, and said second, third, fourth and fifth panels are void of any attachment mechanism which would directly secure said second panel to said third panel and said fourth panel to said fifth panel, and when said snap mobile is in said third position, said second member overlays said third member and said second and third members are aligned adjacent to said first member, said third position facilitating shipping said snap mobile; and d) an elongated, hollow tube having a first end with three slits formed therein, each slit being sized and shaped to receive one of said first, second and third members.
