Abstract
A shower door having a lenticular image. The door member includes a first substrate layer on which a first interlaced image is printed. The door member also includes a lenticular lens layer registered with the interlaced image to have the effect of displaying a lenticular image. A frame preferably seals the edges of the door member to minimize intrusion of foreign matter including water. The door member may include an adhesive layer to attach the substrate to the lenticular lens layer or the substrate may be laminated to the lenticular lens layer.
Claims27
An enclosure for enclosing a bathing area, the enclosure comprising a door member including a first substrate layer having a first interlaced image layer printed on a first surface thereof;
- and a first lenticular lens layer operably disposed adjacent said first interlaced image layer so as to define, in conjunction with said first interlaced image layer, a first lenticular image, wherein the first substrate layer and the first lenticular lens layer are arranged such that the first lenticular image is displayed to a viewer adjacent the enclosure.
An enclosure for enclosing a bathing area, the enclosure comprising a door member including a first lenticular lens layer with a first interlaced image layer printed on a first printed surface thereof, so as to define, in conjunction with said first interlaced image layer, a first lenticular image displayed to a viewer adjacent the enclosure.
An enclosure for enclosing a bathing area comprising a lenticular lens layer operably disposed adjacent an interlaced image layer so as to define, in conjunction with said interlaced image layer, a lenticular image, wherein the interlaced image layer is sealably disposed between the lenticular lens layer and a protective layer.
A method for making an enclosure member, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) printing an interlaced image on a smooth surface of a polymeric film having a lenticular lens surface opposite the smooth surface, wherein the interlaced image is oriented with the lenticular lens surface such that a lenticular image is displayed;
- and
- (b) adhering the polymeric film to the enclosure member in order to display the lenticular image toward the exterior of the enclosure member.
