Kit for making a multiple view pictorial display device

Claim 1

A kit for making a multiple view pictorial display device which enables different pictorial images to be viewed depending upon an appropriate angle of sight of the viewer relative to the frontal plane of the display device and the displacement of the viewer to the left or right of a plane normal to said frontal plane, the kit enabling an unskilled user to choose any pictorial image and adapt said image for mounting on said display device, said kit including: (a) a mounting board having a surface of corrugation-contour which provides alternately spaced ridges and valleys, spanning the distance between a pair of opposite side edges of the board and entirely across said board, each ridge having a pair of mounting surfaces canted one relative to the other and conjoined at an apex along the entire length of the ridge; (b) a carrier card for each chosen pictorial image to be displayed on the device, which pictorial image can be extraneous to the kit, each card having an image side and a mounting side, the chosen pictorial image being mountable on said image side, i. said image side being adapted to have the chosen pictorial image fixedly secured thereon and covering said side, the pictorial image being secured to the image side of the carrier card by the user of the kit on assembly of the display device, ii. said mounting side having indicia selectively arranged thereon for severing the card and attached pictorial image into substantially identical strips and coding means disposed on the mounting side for maintaining the sequential arrangement of the strips correlated to their sequential arrangement prior to such severing of the card and attached image, (c) said coding means enabling the strips obtained from one card to be mounted individually on a selected one of the mounting surfaces of a ridge and the strips obtained from the other of said cards to be mounted individually on the second mounting surface with the image sides of the resulting strips being exposed, (d) the resulting orientation of the exposed image sides being selected so that the strips obtained from one card all face in the same direction and the strips obtained from said second card face in the same direction albeit said directions being opposite one relative to the other, (e) said coding means enabling said strips of the individual cards to be mounted to the board consistent with said desired sequential arrangement thereof when severed such that only the intact image of one card is visible to a viewer displaced to the left and the intact image of the other card is visible to a viewer displaced to the right of said normal plane and at the appropriate angle of sight in each instance such that different pictorial images are viewable at the discretion of the viewer, the coding means disposed on the mounting side of the strips not being visible to said viewer.
