Display assembly and interlocking fastener thereof

1. An image display assembly comprising:

a fastener comprising:

a planar body, and

a fastening member comprising a fastening member body and a plurality of cantilever tabs extending from the fastening member body, wherein the plurality of cantilever tabs comprises a retainer facing a ventral surface of the planar body, and wherein the cantilever tab is parallel to the ventral surface; and

an image base comprising a plurality of distal foldable segments, each distal foldable segment comprising a retaining feature configured for engagement with the corresponding retainer of the fastener,

wherein the planar body is a rectangular planar body; and

wherein the fastening member comprises four cantilever tabs.

2. The image display assembly of claim 1 , wherein the retainer is a tab or a protrusion.

3. The image display assembly of claim 1 , wherein the planar body is rectangular.

4. The image display assembly of claim 1 , wherein the planar body is dimensioned to provide a side of an assembled image display assembly.

5. An image display assembly comprising:

a fastener having a planar body and a fastening member extending from the planar body, the fastening member comprising a fastening member body and at least two cantilever tabs extending from the fastening member body; and

a base having a front face comprising an adhesive layer for securing an image, and a non-image face, the non-image face comprising a plurality of at least two linear v-grooves;

wherein the plurality of at least two linear v-grooves segment the base into proximal foldable segments extending between the at least two linear v-grooves and distal foldable segments extending from one of the at least two linear v-grooves;

wherein the distal foldable segments comprise a retaining feature positioned in its portion of the non-image face of the distal foldable base segment that engages a retainer of the at least two cantilever tabs of the fastener, wherein the fastener is separable from the base;

wherein folding of the segments inward along the v-grooves assembles the base into a support structure comprising a plurality of corners and an interior hollow, the distal foldable segments when folded located proximate to each other and defining an entrance to the hollow, thereby forming a partially assembled base comprising an image display face formed from a portion of the front face, and

wherein the at least two cantilever tabs of the fastener engage with at least two distal foldable segments of the base.

6. The image display assembly of claim 5 , wherein when the image display assembly is assembled, the entrance to the hollow is covered by the fastener when the retainers of the at least two cantilever tabs are engaged with the corresponding retaining features of the distal foldable segments.

7. The image display assembly of claim 5 , wherein the retaining feature is a dint, a cutout, a notch, a tab or a protrusion.

8. The image display assembly of claim 5 , wherein the base is at least generally planar in an unassembled form.

9. The image display assembly of claim 5 , wherein the image secured to the front face is a photograph, a graphic design, a printed image, a painted image, a collage, or a collection thereof, wherein the image may be displayed on canvas, paper, or other natural or synthetic materials, or combination thereof.

10. The image display assembly of claim 5 , further comprising a removable protective layer covering the adhesive layer, wherein the removable protective layer comprises a polymeric material.

11. The image display assembly of claim 5 , further comprising an image sheet, wherein the image sheet comprises perforations providing an outer perimeter defining an image area.
