Paper craft model with articulating element

Abstract

A paper craft model with articulating elements includes a paper craft model sheet that includes a paper substrate including a cut out with a multiplicity of scored lines adapted to facilitate a folding of the cut out into a first atomic three-dimensional object. The sheet also includes a spherical orifice defined on one surface of the first atomic three-dimensional object. Finally, the sheet includes an additional cut out disposed within the paper substrate, and including a multiplicity of scored lines adapted to facilitate a folding of the additional cut out into a second atomic three-dimensional object. The additional cut out defines an articulation tab including a neck extending from the additional cut out and a head disposed at a distal end of the neck. The neck has a width not exceeding a diameter of the orifice, and the head has a width that exceeds the diameter.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to modeling and more particularly to paper craft modeling.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Modeling refers to the fabrication of a scale representation of a person, place or thing. Historically, modeling has employed the use of several different core materials including plastic, wood and paper. Paper modeling in particular has remained popular for nearly a century. Paper modeling involves the use of paper as a core material in fabricating a scale model of a person place or thing. Paper modeling can be broadly classified as either paper folding or paper cutting. Paper folding, also known as origami, requires the production of a three-dimensional object through the exclusive performance of folding operations on a piece of paper. Kirigami, in turn, permits the use of cutting and securing of different pieces of paper in order to produce a model.[0005]Card modeling as a form of kirig...

Benefits of technology

[0008]Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to paper craft modeling and provide a novel and non-obvious paper craft model with articulating elements and a method of manufacturing thereof. In an embodiment of the invention, a paper craft model sheet includes a paper substrate that includes a cut out including a multiplicity of scored lines adapted to facilitate a folding of the cut out into a first atomic three-dimensional object. The sheet also includes a spherical orifice defined on one surface of the first atomic three-dimens

Problems solved by technology

However, the securing tab and slit methodology does not permit the articulation of any one of the atomic three-dimensional objects relative to one another.

In fact, to attempt to articulate one of the atomic three-dimension
