Abstract
A fastener for an image display assembly comprising a polygonal planar body having a ventral surface with at least one fastening member extending from the ventral surface. The fastening member comprises a fastening member body and at least one cantilever tab extending from the fastening member body. Each cantilever tab comprises a fastener retainer facing the ventral surface. Also provided is an image display assembly comprising retaining features; an assembled image display comprising said image display assembly and said fastener; a kit comprising said image display assembly and said fastener; a method of creating an image display; and use of said image display assembly and said fastener to create an image display.
Claims20
An image display assembly comprising:
- an image display base comprising:
- a center section comprising a first outer surface having an image disposed thereon, and
- a plurality of foldable segments extending away from the center section and configured to fold relative to the center section, the plurality of foldable segments comprising distal ends, wherein:
- the center section and the plurality of foldable segments form a hollow interior, and
- at least a portion of the distal ends are spaced from one another to define and surround an entrance opening to the hollow interior;
- a fastener comprising a planar body and a plurality of space L-shaped cantilever tabs extending parallel to the planar body to form a space therebetween, wherein the fastener is configured to couple to each of the distal ends to form an assembled image display when distal ends are inserted into the space, wherein the fastener defines a second outer surface of the image display base opposite the first outer surface,
- wherein the plurality of foldable segments comprises a first foldable segment extending from a first edge of the center section, wherein the first foldable segment comprises one of the distal ends, and a second foldable segment extending from a second edge of the center section opposite the first edge, wherein the second foldable segment comprises another of the distal ends, and
- wherein the distal ends of the first and second foldable segments couple with the fastener.
An image display assembly comprising:
- an image base including four foldable segments configured to form a support structure defining a hollow interior in an assembled configuration, wherein in the assembled configuration, at least a portion of distal ends of the four foldable segments are spaced from one another to define an entrance to the hollow interior and the four foldable segments surrounds the hollow interior;
- and
- a fastener comprising a planar body and four spaced cantilever tabs extending parallel to the planar body to form a space therebetween, wherein each of the four spaced cantilever tabs of the fastener is configured to connect with the distal end of a different one of the four foldable segments when the distal end is inserted into the space, and wherein the planar body substantially covers the entrance to the hollow interior in the assembled configuration.
