Image Display Apparatus

Abstract

An image display apparatus ( 10 ) comprising a backing panel ( 12 ), one or more first raised portions ( 14 ) located on the backing panel ( 12 ), each first raised portion ( 14 ) having an image ( 18 ) for display secured thereto; one or more second raised portions ( 16 ) located on the backing panel ( 12 ), each second raised portion ( 16 ) including a mounting panel ( 20 ), each mounting panel ( 20 ) having at least one inner edge ( 24 ) arranged to surround a perimeter of each first raised portion ( 14 ) such that the image ( 18 ) is located within, and spaced apart from said mounting panel ( 20 ) to create a channel ( 30 ) therebetween, where in said mounting panel ( 20 ) is formed from two or more panel components ( 20 a, 20 b, 20 c, 20 d ).

1 . An image display apparatus comprising:
 a backing panel;   one or more first raised portions located on the panel, each first raised portion having an image for display secured thereto;   one or more second raised portions located on the panel, each second raised portion including a mounting panel;   each mounting panel having at least one inner edge arranged to surround a perimeter of each first raised portion such that the image is located within, and spaced apart from said mounting panel to create a channel therebetween,   wherein said mounting panel is formed from two or more panel components.   
     
     
         2 . An image display apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  wherein said two or more panel components are abutted together to form at least one of said mounting panels. 
     
     
         3 . An image display apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  wherein said mounting panel and panel components are formed of a rigid durable material. 
     
     
         4 . An image display apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  wherein said mounting panel and panel components are formed from a sheet of plastic. 
     
     
         5 . An image display apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  wherein said mounting panel and panel components are formed from a sheet of metal. 
     
     
         6 . An image display apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  wherein at least one of said second raised portions is formed of two or more component portions. 
     
     
         7 . An image display apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  wherein each image is arranged to overhang the edge of the associated first raised portion. 
     
     
         8 . An image display apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  wherein each mounting panel is arranged to overhang the edge of the associated second raised portion. 
     
     
         9 . An image display apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the backing panel is formed of a rigid durable material. 
     
     
         10 . An image display apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the apparatus is further provided with a frame, the frame being secured to the backing panel. 
     
     
         11 . An image display apparatus as claimed in  claim 10  where the frame is sized to provide a channel between an outer edge of the second raised portion and an inner edge of the frame. 
     
     
         12 . An image display apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  where the backing panel is formed of a sheet of plastic. 
     
     
         13 . An image display apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  where the backing panel is formed from a sheet of metal. 
     
     
         14 . An image display apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the backing panel is formed of at least a partially reflective material.
