Abstract A holder for presenting an assemblage of items to be taken on a one-by-one basis. The items may be in a pad or loose within an open-top receptacle. The holder includes a foldable support carrying adhesive attachment means, preferably pressure-sensitive adhesive with a release liner. The support is foldable so that the holder can be attached to a forward-or rearward-facing surface or to the underside of a horizontal surface.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 231 words
A holder or the like for presenting an assemblage of items to be taken therefrom on a one-by-one basis, which holder comprises a generally planar foldable support sheet having a plurality of parallel fold lines and first and second adhesive attachment means so disposed that said support can be attached to differently oriented surfaces, said support comprising a main section, a first attachment section, a second linking section and a third connection section which are serially connected to one another at said fold lines, said first and second adhesive attachment means disposed, respectively, upon the front surface of said first and third sections, said sections being proportioned so that by folding said first section rearward about 180* and said third section about 180* relative to said second section and by connecting said third section to one location on the rear surface of said sheet via said second adhesive attachment means, said holder is adapted for attachment to a forwardfacing surface via said first adhesive attachment means, or alternatively by folding said second section rearward about 180* to lie generally adjacent the rear surface of said first section and said third section about 180* relative to said second section and by connecting said third section to a Second location on the rear surface of said sheet, said holder is adapted for attachment via said first adhesive attachment means to a rearward-facing surface.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 231 words
A holder or the like for presenting an assemblage of items to be taken therefrom on a one-by-one basis, which holder comprises a generally planar foldable support sheet having a plurality of parallel fold lines and first and second adhesive attachment means so disposed that said support can be attached to differently oriented surfaces, said support comprising a main section, a first attachment section, a second linking section and a third connection section which are serially connected to one another at said fold lines, said first and second adhesive attachment means disposed, respectively, upon the front surface of said first and third sections, said sections being proportioned so that by folding said first section rearward about 180* and said third section about 180* relative to said second section and by connecting said third section to one location on the rear surface of said sheet via said second adhesive attachment means, said holder is adapted for attachment to a forwardfacing surface via said first adhesive attachment means, or alternatively by folding said second section rearward about 180* to lie generally adjacent the rear surface of said first section and said third section about 180* relative to said second section and by connecting said third section to a Second location on the rear surface of said sheet, said holder is adapted for attachment via said first adhesive attachment means to a rearward-facing surface.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 79 words
A holder in accordance with claim 1 wherein said first section is narrower than said second section so that said first section can be folded rearward about 90* and said third section can be folded less than 180* relative to said second section and can be connected to a third location on the rear surface of said sheet to adapt said support for attachment to the undersurface of a shelf or the like via said first adhesive attachment means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 20 words
A holder in accordance with claim 2 wherein said adhesive attachment means comprises pressure-sensitive adhesive covered by a release liner.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 37 words
A holder in accordance with claim 2 wherein said main sheet section is formed with interconnected sidewalls, a front wall and bottom closure means which can be formed to create an open-top pocket for holding the assemblage.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 53 words
A holder in accordance with claim 4 wherein said first section has about the same width as said sidewalls so that said first section can be folded forward about 90* to serve as a cover for said pocket while said second and third sections are tucked between said front wall and the assemblage.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 45 words
A holder in accordance with claim 5 wherein a foam strip carrying pressure-sensitive adhesive and a release liner constitutes said first adhesive attachment means and also serves as a cushion to hold the assemblage in place when said first section is in its cover-providing orientation.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 37 words
A holder in accordance with claim 2 wherein the rear surface of said sheet carries indicia to indicate the proper alignment of the lower edge of said third section thereon in said first, second and third locations.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 41 words
A holder in accordance with claim 2 wherein the assemblage is constituted by a plurality of sheets connected along their upper edges by a padding adhesive to constitute a pad which is attached to the front surface of said main section.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 22 words
A holder in accordance with claim 8 wherein said main section is perforated and wherein said padding adhesive extends through said perforations.
