Abstract:
1. A checkout divider having an optically variable effect, comprising: a sleeve including optically variable material, the optically variable material being disposed upon a face of the sleeve, the sleeve being formed to take on a three-dimensional structure; a pair of end caps, the end caps being configured to fixedly receive each end of the sleeve; a curved bearing surface associated with the end caps, the curved bearing surface being disposable such that upon disturbance of an equilibrium of the checkout divider, the optically variable material exhibits a change in aspect; and an elongated armature having a first end and an opposing second end, the armature being a hollow structure and constructed to be received within a hollow interior of the sleeve, thereby resulting in the sleeve surrounding the armature, wherein each of the armature and sleeve have a substantially triangular shape defined by three walls.
