Abstract:
A writing board support tray comprises a support tray having an end portion coated with an elastomeric material with the support tray and the elastomeric material being substantially inseparably bonded or attached to each other. Further, a writing board support tray comprises a support tray substantially completely coated with an elastomeric material with the support tray and the elastomeric material being substantially inseparably bonded or attached to each other. Additionally, a further preferred embodiment, a writing board support tray comprises a support tray with a front end substantially completely coated with an elastomeric material with the support tray and the elastomeric material being substantially inseparably bonded or attached to each other. In addition, a writing board comprising a writing surface and a support tray, wherein the peripheral edge of the writing surface is encapsulated by an elastomeric material and the support tray is constructed completely out of the elastomeric material.
Abstract:
An eraser for a dry surface erase is disclosed. The eraser includes a cylinder having a tangentially extending flat surface to thereby form a "b" shaped member. The cylinder is provided with a covering of felt, cloth or other substance suitable for erasing material written on a dry-erase board. The felt covering extends over approximately one-third of the external surface of the cylinder. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 6B, an eraser may be comprise a half-cylinder having a tangentially extending flat surface. A cylindrical insert is inserted into the half-cylinder and is retained by friction fit or by an adhesive. The cylindrical. Insert preferably comprises a foam material suitable for erasing dry erase surfaces.
Abstract:
A multi-purpose hook for a message board having an edge along its front surface, the hook including a substantially flat extension member having first and second ends, a retaining grip extending from the first end, and a curved hook extending from the second end. The hook generally curves in a plane oriented substantially perpendicular to a plane defined by the extension member, thereby preferably defining a portion of a cylinder, preferably defining a substantially half-cylindrical cross-sectional shape. The retaining grip includes a substantially flat portion extending between front and rear portions of the retaining grip, and preferably extends substantially perpendicularly from the first end of the extension member. The retaining grip is attachable to an edge of a fixed member, such as a frame of a message board, the retaining grip including a tip extension and a lip on the front and rear portions, respectively, for engaging similarly shaped front and rear channels in the edge of the fixed member.
Abstract:
A fold out display is particularly adapted to support a wide variety of different types of group work activities, team projects, and the like, and includes a free standing base which fixedly supports a primary panel having an exterior display surface. At least one foldable panel is hingedly supported on the primary panel for movement between a closed folded position overlying the primary panel, and an open unfolded position protruding outwardly coplanar with the primary panel. The foldable panel includes at least an interior display surface which overlies the display surface of the primary panel when in the closed folded position. A one-piece living hinge has opposite side portions connected with the side edges of the primary and foldable panels, and is shaped such that when the foldable panel is shifted into the open unfolded position, the two display surfaces are juxtaposed in a substantially contiguous relationship to collectively provide an enlarged generally continuous and uninterrupted display. A fold out header panel assembly may be provided above the primary panels, and a pair of telescoping outstops help retain the folding panels in their open unfolded position.
Abstract:
The board comprises a generally rectangularly shaped multi-layer panel section secured around its periphery in a rigid frame that is generally U-shaped in cross section. The panel section includes a plastic-coated metal layer forming the face of the board; and a plurality of bails are mounted on the back of the board for engagement by a plurality of hooks which are mounted on a wall so as to suspend the board therefrom. Two foldable arms are pivotally mounted on the frame adjacent its lower edge to extend parallel to the plane of the board when folded, and to extend normal to the board and to engage the wall and hold the board in an inclined position when unfolded. The frame prevents accidental dislodgment of the bails from the hooks when the board is moved to its inclined position.
Abstract:
Apparatus for wall mounting a presentation board comprises a wall mounted support bracket, a hook shaped mounting member for detachably and pivotably engaging the support bracket, and an angled support member connecting the mounting member to the presentation board such that the board is supportable in an inclined position with respect to the mounting wall. Further apparatus is provided for mounting a bound presentation pad to the board in an orientation such that the unbound ends of a pad sheet are releasably retained against unintended displacement but successive sheets may be exposed by releasing covering sheets and allowing the released sheet to hang down from the bound ends.
Abstract:
A folding wall display device for an office which nests together three separate display pieces and gives the appearance of a framed picture when not in use. An angled hinge permits a slimline appearance and permits the device to be essentially flush with the wall. The construction of the wall device presents a decorative appearance and provides for a variety of functional and illustrative display surfaces and/or a visual display device located in the center section adjacent to the wall. The display device has five surfaces available for display with up to three surfaces visible at once.
