Abstract

In order to provide a dimensional display system which is easy to use, quick to execute, and inexpensive, the dimensional display system contains a backboard sign, at least one offset sign having a size smaller than the backboard sign, and at least one spacer assembly. The spacer assembly contains a first fastening element, which is adapted to be attached to the backboard sign, and a second fastening element, which is adapted to be attached to the offset sign. The first and second fastening elements form corresponding components of a fastening mechanism to affix the offset sign to the backboard sign at a predefined distance thus creating a three-dimensional effect.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A dimensional display system comprising a backboard sign, two or more offset signs having a size smaller than said backboard sign, and two or more spacer assemblies, said spacer assemblies comprising first fastening elements that are all attachable to said backboard sign and second fastening elements that are attachable to said offset signs, wherein said first and second fastening elements form corresponding components of a fastening mechanism to affix said offset signs to said backboard sign at a predefined distance, wherein said two or more spacer assemblies are of different lengths and affix said two or more offset signs at different distances to said backboard sign and said corresponding components of said fastening mechanism comprise a snap receptacle and corresponding snap catches,
wherein each of said first fastening elements comprises a base plate and an offset post of one of a set of different predefined lengths carried by said base plate, and
wherein said base plate has a shape or indication, which corresponds with a printed shape or indication provided on said backboard sign to indicate a position for the attachment of said base plate.

2. A dimensional display system according to claim 1 , wherein the first fastening elements of said spacer assemblies have base plates with different shapes or indications.

3. A dimensional display system according to claim 1 , wherein said backboard sign has one or more pre-drilled holes to indicate positions for the attachment of one or more of the first fastening elements, and wherein said first fastening elements have pins designed to engage with said pre-drilled holes.

4. A dimensional display system according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of said first or second fastening elements are provided with double-sided adhesive tape to attach to said backboard sign and/or offset sign, respectively.
