Map folded to expose staggered edges

摘要

A map including a plurality of sheets having map pictorial sections printed on each sheet; the plurality of sheets including an outermost sheet and an innermost sheet; and at least a first inner sheet and a second inner sheet positioned between the outermost sheet and the innermost sheet, the first inner sheet positioned between the outermost sheet and the second inner sheet; each of the plurality of sheets having first, second and third fold lines such that each of the plurality of sheets includes four panels; the first panel defined by a first side edge and the first fold line, the second panel defined by the first fold line and the second fold line, the third panel defined by the second fold line and the third fold line, and the fourth panel defined by the third fold line and a second side edge; wherein each the sheet is folded along the second fold line such that the third panel is positioned atop the second panel with the third fold line proximate the first fold line; the fourth panel positioned atop the third panel as the sheet is folded along the third fold line; the first panel positioned atop the fourth panel; and wherein the outermost sheet has an overall length less than the first inner sheet, which has an overall length less than the second inner sheet, which has an overall length less than the innermost sheet, such that when assembled the first panels form a first staggered edge and each of the fourth panels form a second staggered edge.

1. A map comprising
a plurality of sheets having map pictorial sections printed on each sheet; said plurality of sheets including an outermost sheet and an innermost sheet; and at least a first inner sheet and a second inner sheet positioned between said outermost sheet and said innermost sheet, said first inner sheet positioned between said outermost sheet and said second inner sheet; each of said plurality of sheets having first, second and third fold lines such that each of said plurality of sheets includes four panels; said first panel defined by a first side edge and said first fold line, said second panel defined by said first fold line and said second fold line, said third panel defined by said second fold line and said third fold line, and said fourth panel defined by said third fold line and a second side edge; wherein each said sheet is folded along said second fold line such that said third panel is positioned atop said second panel with said third fold line proximate said first fold line; said fourth panel positioned atop said third panel as said sheet is folded along said third fold line; said first panel positioned atop said fourth panel; and wherein said outermost sheet has an overall length less than said first inner sheet, which has an overall length less than said second inner sheet, which has an overall length less than said innermost sheet, such that when assembled said first panels form a first staggered edge and each of said fourth panels form a second staggered edge.
