Abstract:
1. An expandable, hinged, multi-panel presentation system comprising: a middle rigid rectangular presentation panel comprising a width, a right vertical edge having a first hole, and a left vertical edge having a second hole; a right rigid side rectangular presentation panel having a width that is less than the width of the middle rigid rectangular presentation panel and having a left vertical edge having a third hole, the third hole aligned with the first hole of the middle rigid rectangular presentation panel; a left rigid side rectangular presentation panel having a width that is equal to the width of the right rigid side rectangular presentation panel and having a right vertical edge having a fourth hole, the fourth hole aligned with the second hole of the middle rigid rectangular presentation panel; a first free-standing hinged split ring fastener configured to extend through the first hole in the middle rigid rectangular presentation panel and the third hole in the right rigid side rectangular presentation panel, the first free-standing hinged split ring fastener comprising a mouth configured to open and close such that the first free-standing hinged split ring fastener removeably engages the middle rigid rectangular presentation panel and the right rigid side rectangular presentation panel; a second free-standing hinged split ring fastener configured to extend through the second hole in the middle rigid rectangular presentation panel and the fourth hole in the left rigid side rectangular presentation panel, the second free-standing hinged split ring fastener comprising a mouth configured to open and close such that the second free-standing hinged split ring fastener removeably engages the middle rigid rectangular presentation panel and the left rigid side rectangular presentation panel; and a rigid interior rectangular presentation panel having the same width as the middle rigid rectangular presentation panel, the rigid interior rectangular presentation panel having a proximal rigid presentation sub-panel with a width equal to the width of the right rigid side rectangular presentation panel and having a vertical edge, a distal rigid presentation sub-panel with a vertical edge, a vertical bi-directional hinge operably coupling the distal rigid presentation sub-panel to the proximal rigid presentation sub-panel whereby the distal rigid presentation sub-panel pivots relative to the proximal rigid presentation sub-panel, the rigid interior rectangular presentation panel having a fifth hole disposed in the vertical edge of the proximal rigid presentation sub-panel a open ended unobstructed notch disposed in the vertical edge of the distal rigid presentation sub-panel, the fifth hole positioned such that one of the first free-standing hinged split ring fastener and the second free-standing hinged split ring fastener operably engages the fifth hole, and the open ended unobstructed notch positioned such that one of the first free-standing hinged split ring fastener and the second free-standing hinged split ring fastener operably engages the notch without retaining the vertical edge of the distal interior section.
