Display Assembly and Interlocking Fastener Thereof

Abstract

A fastener for an image display assembly comprising a polygonal planar body having a ventral surface with at least one fastening member extending from the ventral surface. The fastening member comprises a fastening member body and at least one cantilever tab extending from the fastening member body. Each cantilever tab comprises a fastener retainer facing the ventral surface. Also provided is an image display assembly comprising retaining features; an assembled image display comprising said image display assembly and said fastener; a kit comprising said image display assembly and said fastener; a method of creating an image display; and use of said image display assembly and said fastener to create an image display.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An image display assembly comprising:
 an image display base comprising:
 a center section, and 
 a plurality of foldable segments extending away from the center section and configured to fold relative to the center section, the plurality of foldable segments comprising distal segments, wherein: 
 the center section and the plurality of foldable segments form a hollow, and 
 the distal segments define an entrance to the hollow, wherein the distal segments surround the entrance to the hollow; and 
 a fastener comprising a planar body and a plurality of cantilever tabs extending parallel to the planar body to form a space therebetween, wherein the fastener is configured to couple to each of the distal segments to form an assembled image display when distal ends of the distal segments are inserted into the space, 
 wherein the plurality of foldable segments comprises a first foldable segment extending from a first edge of the center section, and a second foldable segment extending from a second edge of the center section opposite the first edge, and 
 wherein the distal segments of the first and second foldable segments couple with the fastener.
