ABSTRACT:
The invention is a viewer for slides having three-dimensional and/or animation type lenticular images recorded thereon in image line sets. In detail, the invention includes a frame. The frame includes a slot for receiving the slide therein having an open end at the top or side of the frame and a closed off opposite end, the slot in a planer relationship with the front and rear walls. The front wall includes a lenticular lens mounted in a planner relation therein, the lens having an internal side forming a portion of the wall of the slot; the lens having a plurality of lenticules therein. The end opposite the open end of the slot is aligned with the lenticules of the lens and positioned within the frame such that a slide positioned in the slot in contact with the opposite end of the slot will have the center of the image line sets in substantial alignment with the center of the lenticules of the lenticular lens. In a second embodiment, the viewer includes only a lenticular lens having a protursion at one end thereof for positioning the slide such that a slide positioned on the protrusion will have the center of the image line sets in substantial alignment with the center of the lenticules of the lenticular lens.
