          Appeal No. 96-0405                                                          
          Application No. 08/178,668                                                  

          panels may be folded for storage and transport, whereby the                 
          outer rigid surface of the first corrugated section of each                 
          panel forms a continuous, uninterrupted display surface.                    


               Claim 25 addresses a portable device for displaying                    
          educational or information material comprising, inter alia,                 
          three panels including a center panel having side panels                    
          hingedly attached to opposite ends thereof, each side panel                 
          separated from the center panel by a score line to permit                   
          relative movement between adjacent panels, each score line                  
          extends through an inner corrugated portion to form a hinge                 
          between adjacent panels along the score lines, each side panel              
          and center panel being a single rigid panel member, the width               
          of each side panel being approximately equal to one-half the                
          width of the center panel to permit folding of the side panels              
          in substantially co-planar relationship relative to each other              
          and in substantially parallel relationship to the center panel              
          such that adjacent panels may be folded relative to each other              
          for storage and transport.                                                  


               The examiner is of the opinion that the subject matter of              

                                          7
