Abstract:
An apparatus is provided having an open configuration and a closed configuration. The apparatus includes, while in the closed configuration, a first panel, a second panel, a third panel, a fourth panel, a fifth panel, and a sixth panel that together create a box partially enclosing a void space. The first panel is rotatably coupled to the fifth panel and the sixth panel, the second panel is rotatably coupled to the fourth panel and the sixth panel, and the third panel is rotatably coupled to the fourth panel and the fifth panel. The apparatus opens from the closed configuration to present the contents therein through a single degree-of-freedom mechanism where the first, second, and third panels become perpendicular to the fourth, fifth, and sixth panels while the fourth, fifth, and sixth panels become aligned in a same plane.
