Patent ID: 7735874

Claim:
An article comprising: a base panel having at least a portion of its upper surface adapted for retaining thereon indicia of displayed information; a securing flap secured to the base panel and having an upper surface and a lower surface; and a flexible protective flap having a lower surface and comprising (i) a fixed-end section that is secured to the base panel and the securing flap and (ii) a free-end section that includes at least a portion of an edge of the protective flap, wherein: the base panel and the securing flap are arranged so that at least a portion of the securing flap can overlie indicia retained on the upper surface of the base panel so that the retained indicia are observable through the securing flap; the base panel, the securing flap, and the protective flap are arranged so that at least part of the free-end section of the protective flap can overlie the retained indicia with at least a portion of the securing flap between the lower surface of the free-end section of the protective flap and the upper surface of the base panel; and the base panel, the securing flap, and the protective flap are arranged so that the free-end section of the protective flap remains freely, repeatedly movable, without disturbing any of the retained indicia, without any attachment or adhesion to the securing flap, and without any detachment of the fixed-end section of the protective flap, between (i) a first configuration wherein the free-end section of the protective flap overlies the retained indicia and the overlying portion of the securing flap, and (ii) a second configuration wherein the lower surface of the free-end section of the protective flap and the upper surface of the overlying portion of the securing flap are sufficiently separated to yield a line of sight to-the-retained indicia that substantially avoids the protective flap.
