Abstract
The three-dimensional picture includes a transparent substrate carrying, on a top surface, periodically spaced, non-transparent lines of a predetermined width and carrying, on a bottom surface, an underlying picture formed by a lenticular process. The underlying picture has a plurality of lenticular planes and the non-transaprent lines are positioned substantially parallel to the lenticular planes. The underlying picture could have a multiplicity of vertically spaced, multiple images of an object. If the three dimensional picture is translucent to light, it can be mounted on a light box. When the substrate is flexible, the three dimensional picture can be incorporated into magazines or other promotional materials.
Claims14
A three dimensional, composite picture comprising:
- a picture enlarged to a first enlargement size, said picture being formed by a lenticular process prior to enlargement;
- a transparent substrate having, on a top surface thereof, periodically spaced non-transparent lines of a predetermined width that are enlarged to said first enlargement size;
- said enlarged picture being fixed to a bottom surface of said transparent substrate as an underlying picture.
A three dimensional picture box comprising:
- a picture enlarged to a first enlargement size, said picture being formed by a lenticular process prior to enlargement;
- a transparent substrate having, on a top surface thereof, periodically spaced non-transparent lines of a predetermined width that are enlarged to said first enlargement size;
- said enlarged picture being fixed to a bottom surface of said transparent substrate as an underlying picture;
- wherein said underlying picture is translucent to light;
- and,
- the picture carrying substrate being mounted in a light emitting plane of a light box.
A three dimensional, composite picture comprising:
- a picture enlarged to a first enlargement size, said picture being formed of a multiplicity of vertically spaced, multiple images of an object prior to enlargement;
- a transparent substrate having, on a top surface thereof, a multiplicity of periodically spaced non-transparent lines of a predetermined width that are enlarged to said first enlargement size;
- said enlarged picture fixed to a bottom surface of said transparent substrate as an underlying picture and said multiplicity of non-transparent lines are substantially aligned with one image of said multiple images.
A three dimensional, composite picture comprising:
- a picture reduced to a first reduction size, said picture being formed by a lenticular process prior to reduction;
- a transparent substrate having, on a top surface thereof, periodically spaced non-transparent lines of a predetermined width that are reduced to said first reduction size;
- said reduced picture being fixed to a bottom surface of said transparent substrate as an underlying picture.
