Abstract

A pop-up object with double canopies includes a lower canopy that serves as a base for the pop-up object, an upper canopy, and a pop-up scene positioned between the upper and lower canopies. The upper canopy, lower canopy, and pop-up scene can simultaneously move between a first, folded, flat position and a second, unfolded, upright position.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A pop-up comprising
a lower canopy;
an upper canopy;
a pop-up scene, a portion thereof spanning between the upper canopy and the lower canopy, the pop-up scene comprising two or more panels;
a plurality of hanging panels suspended from the upper canopy;
wherein the pop-up can move between a first position wherein it is folded in a substantially flat configuration and a second position, wherein it is unfolded and in a 3-dimensional configuration.

2. The pop-up of claim 1 , further comprising a mini greeting card removably attached to the pop-up.

3. The pop-up of claim 1 , wherein the pop-up scene contains panels of different heights.

4. The pop-up of claim 3 , wherein the pop-up scene is arranged with panels in descending order.

5. The pop-up of claim 3 , further comprising a strut that connects one or more panels of the pop-up scene together.

6. The pop-up of claim 1 further comprising a top panel that sits atop the lower canopy below the pop-up scene.

7. A pop-up comprising:
a first canopy comprising an oval base, internal structure, and top panel, the first canopy movable between a first position, wherein it is folded flat and a second position wherein it is unfolded into a three-dimensional structure;
a second canopy comprising an oval base and internal structure, the second canopy movable between a first position, wherein it is fold flat and a second position wherein it is unfolded into a three-dimensional structure;
a center panel that extends between and separating the first canopy and the second canopy;
a 3D scene comprising a plurality of panels attached to the first canopy;
a plurality of hanging panels suspended from the second canopy;
wherein the first canopy, the second canopy and the 3D scene are simultaneously moved between the first and second positions.

8. The pop-up of claim 7 , further comprising a mini greeting card removably attached to the pop-up.

9. The pop-up of claim 7 , wherein the plurality of hanging panels can move independent of the pop-up.

10. The pop-up of claim 7 , wherein the plurality of panels of the 3D scene are arranged in order from tallest to shortest.

11. The pop-up of claim 7 , wherein the plurality of panels of the 3D scene each have a different shape.

12. The pop-up of claim 7 , wherein the 3D scene is double-sided, having an identical set of panels on each side of the center panel.

13. The pop-up of claim 7 , wherein when the pop-up is in the second position, the first canopy can be placed onto a table or other flat surface.

14. The pop-up of claim 7 , further comprising a strut that attaches two or more of the plurality of panels in the 3D scene.

15. A pop-up comprising:
a first pop-up element;
a second pop-up element;
a plurality of hanging panels suspended from the second pop-up element;
a pop-up 3D scene located between the first pop-up element and the second pop-up element;
wherein the first pop-up element, the second pop-up element and the pop-up 3D scene each simultaneously move between a first, substantially flat, collapsed position and a second, upright, 3-dimensional position.

16. The pop-up of claim 15 , further comprising a greeting card removably attached to the first pop-up element, the second pop-up element or the pop-up 3D scene.

17. The pop-up of claim 15 , wherein the plurality of hanging panels can move independently of the first pop-up element, the second pop-up element and the pop-up 3D scene.

18. The pop-up of claim 15 , wherein the pop-up 3D scene comprises a plurality of scene panels.

19. The pop-up of claim 18 , further comprising a strut which connects one or more of the plurality of scene panels.
