Description

- 1 COLOUR EFFECT BACKGROUND There is interest in approving the aesthetic appearance of accessories such as 5 those used for storing products such as stationery or paper or files on desks, or used in kitchens and bathrooms as storage. An improved aesthetic appearance, particularly one that is innovative and eye-catching, can lead to greater sales appeal and increased interest in the product. 10 SUMMARY Disclosed in some forms is an accessory composed of a plurality of sheets, at least one of the sheets being a feature sheet having a vivid colour, and at least one of the sheets being a transparent sheet, the transparent sheet having two opposing faces 15 extending between a connecting end surface and a distal end surface, the accessory being configured such that the at least one transparent sheet is positioned at an angle to the at least one feature sheet such that the vivid colour of the feature sheet is visible through the distal end surface of the transparent sheet. 20 The positioning and configuration of the feature sheet and the transparent sheet creates a highlighting effect or a glow effect by shifting the vivid colour of the feature sheet along the transparent sheet and allowing the vivid colour to be viewed at edge surfaces of the transparent sheet. This adds brightness and interest and has particular aesthetic appeal which is desirable for objects such as these. 25 The accessory disclosed is, in some forms, composed of acrylic sheets. The feature sheets are, in some forms, neon or fluorescent acrylic. In some forms the accessory includes laser cut cut-outs for additional visual 30 interest. In some forms the accessory is a desk accessory or a bathroom or kitchen accessory or tableware having walls or supports and configured to hold a product. The glow or highlighting effect is available in filing, folders, stapling and punching, 35 notebooks and other stationery related items. 69446951 (GHMatters) P1 01 034.AU GEORGINA 1/10/15 - 2 In some forms the accessory also comprises a cut out section extending through at least one transparent sheet, the cut out section having an internal edge and being positioned such that the vivid colour is visible through the internal edge. 5 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES The disclosure will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: 10 Fig. 1 shows an accessory of one embodiment of the disclosure; Fig. 2 shows an accessory of a second embodiment of the disclosure; Fig. 3 shows an accessory of a third embodiment of the disclosure; 15 Fig. 4 shows an accessory of a fourth embodiment of the disclosure; Fig. 5 shows an accessory of a fifth embodiment of the disclosure; 20 Fig. 6 shows an accessory of a sixth embodiment of the disclosure; Fig. 7 shows an accessory of a seventh embodiment of the disclosure. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS OF THE DISCLOSURE 25 Disclosed in some forms is an accessory composed of a plurality of sheets, at least one of the sheets being a feature sheet having a vivid colour, and at least one of the sheets being a transparent sheet, the transparent sheet having two opposing faces extending between a connecting end surface and a distal end surface, the accessory 30 being configured such that the at least one transparent sheet is positioned at an angle to the at least one feature sheet such that the vivid colour of the feature sheet is visible through the distal end surface of the transparent sheet. 69446951 (GHMatters) P1 01 034.AU GEORGINA 1/10/15 - 3 In some forms, the feature sheet has a face and the accessory is configured such that the connecting end surface of the transparent sheet is located in a facing arrangement with the face of the feature sheet. 5 In some forms the feature sheet is configured to extend beyond the connecting edge of the transparent sheet in two directions. In some forms the accessory comprises a base, wherein the base is composed of a feature sheet. 10 In some forms the accessory comprises a plurality of transparent sheets, each transparent sheet having a plurality of edge surfaces, wherein the vivid colour is visible at a plurality of edge surfaces. 15 In some forms the vivid colour appearing at the distal edge of the or each transparent sheet creates a highlighting effect. In some forms the plurality of sheets are composed of acrylic. 20 In some forms the accessory is configured to retain at least one item. In some forms the plurality of sheets are configured to form a retaining area of the accessory. 25 In some forms, at least one transparent sheet includes a cut out portion positioned such that the vivid colour can be seen through the edges of the cut out portion. In some forms, at least one transparent sheet includes an etched section 30 through which the vivid colour can be viewed to add additional highlighting effect. Referring now to the Figures, disclosed in Fig. 1 is a accessory 10, in the form of a tray. The accessory 10 comprises a plurality of sheets 12 defining a retaining space 13. In the illustrated form the sheets 12 are composed of acrylic. 69446951 (GHMatters) P1 01 034.AU GEORGINA 1/10/15 - 4 The sheets 12 comprise both transparent acrylic sheets 15 and, in the illustrated form, one feature sheet 16 which is vividly coloured. In this illustrated form the feature sheet 16 is an acrylic sheet in a neon green though it will be clear that alternative feature sheets are available. The sheets are configured to define the 5 retaining space 13 such that the feature sheet forms a base 17 of the accessory 10 and the transparent sheets 15 form three side walls. The feature sheet 16 extends between edges 18 and comprises a connecting face 19 which, in this form in which the feature sheet 16 is a base 17, faces upwardly. 10 The transparent sheets 15 comprise opposing faces 21 which extend between a connecting edge 22 and a distal edge 23.

This has the effect of allowing the vivid colour of the feature sheet 16 to be clearly visible through the distal edge 23 of the transparent sheet 15. This creates an aesthetic glow effect or highlighting that changes the appearance of the accessory making it more attractive. 20 In this form, the transparent sheets 15 also meet at a corner 24. At this corner the glow effect is more subtle but is still present. The glow effect is also strongly visible through the point at which the connecting edge of the transparent sheet 22 meets the feature sheet 16. 25 The accessory further includes a cut out 25 in the form of a logo. The highlighting or glow effect is visible through the cut out at the edge 26 of the cut out. Moreover, the accessory includes an etched section 26, in this case in the form of a further logo. The highlighting or glow effect is visible at the etched section 27 and brings further aesthetic appeal and differentiation to the accessory. 30 The glow effect is seen through laser cutting or etching, through edging and when the transparent sheet is positioned over the feature sheet to allow the vivid colour of the feature sheet to appear through the edges of the transparent sheet. 35 69446951 (GHMatters) P1 01 034.AU GEORGINA 1/10/15 - 5 Referring now to Fig. 2, disclosed is a accessory 40, in the form of a magazine holder.
