Patent attributes
The invention is a container comprised of two or more sections that are held together at an interface by one or more joints or seams. Decorative exterior layers can cover or otherwise obscure the seams, or the joints can be obscured or made inconspicuous. Two sections of the container each have a cord that is attached to the exterior side of the sections on opposite sides of the container, and a ring is attached to each cord so that when pulled, the sections of the container separate to reveal the interior of the container. A flexible connector is attached to the sections of the container at its interior side so when the container is pulled open, the flexible connector extends from a folded arrangement to an unfolded arrangement while the sections remain connected, and a message holder attached to the flexible connector and extending between the sections is revealed.
