Abstract:
An image easel system for presenting multiple images to an observer, said easel system comprising:a printed insert card having formed thereon at least one pair of interlaced images;a pair of structural members each of which includes a vertically extending panel having a leg section angularly dependent therefrom, said structural members having complementary configured means for pivotally mounting them with respect to one another for movement between an open extended position and a closed position, at least one of said panels including at least one transparent lenticulated section optically associated therewith, said pair of structural members further including means for aligning said interlaced images so that said images are in a plane substantially parallel to and in optical registration with said transparent lenticulated section, said insert card and said transparent lenticulated section being structured and arranged with respect to one another to provide different images to an observer looking at said transparent lenticulated section from different angular perspectives; andmeans for continuously biasing said structural members against one another so that they tend to remain in their closed position to retain said printed insert card in alignment with said transparent lenticulated section, wherein said means for continuously biasing said structural members against one another comprises biasing spring means having opposed ends contacting said leg sections of said pair of structural members and biasing said leg sections away from one another.
