<p>A one-piece collapsible stand, especially for a book, made of suitable material, like corrugated cardboard or polypropylene, by stamping or molding. In its collapsed configuration, all components of the stand are co-planar. The stand comprises a frame-like bottom plate (2), to which a center leg (7) and two side legs (11, 13) are connected by integral hinges (9, 15, 17). Complementary latch notches (19, 21; 23, 25) in the sides of engaging legs adjacent their free ends interlock to fix the structure in its erected, operative configuration. Cover tabs (28, 30) restrain covers of the book to prevent it from sliding off the stand and page tabs (37, 39) restrain the pages of the book.</p> |
