Abstract
In one embodiment, a reusable writing panel including a writing surface and attachment mechanisms is disclosed. The writing panel may include a stacked layer configuration, having a front or first layer defining a writing surface and a rear or second layer defining a connection surface, with an optional spacer layer positioned therebetween. The connection surface may include one or more attachable or securable elements, such as a first attraction element and a second attraction element, that may generate different types of attraction forces, e.g., magnetic and suction. This variation in connection types allows the panel to be securable to various types of objects or surfaces, e.g., magnetic and non-magnetic surfaces.
Claims18
A mountable reusable writing panel comprising:
- a front layer defining a reusable writing surface;
- a rear layer coupled to the front layer;
- a spacer between the front layer and the back layer;
- a first attachment member exerting a first type of attachment force, wherein the first attachment member is embedded partially within and permanently fixed to the spacer and protrudes through an aperture in the rear layer;
- and
- a second attachment member exerting a second type of attachment force different from the first type of attachment force such that the reusable writing panel is mountable to an object via two different attachment manners, wherein the second attachment member is coupled to the rear layer and the first attachment member.
A modular writing display system comprising:
- a first panel comprising:
- a front surface defining a writing surface,
- a back surface;
- a first attachment member having a first type of securing force operable to secure the first panel to an object, wherein the first attachment member includes a portion that protrudes partially from the back surface, and
- a second attachment member having a second type of securing force operable to secure the first panel to an object that is different from the first securing force, wherein the second attachment member is coupled to both the rear layer and the first attachment member;
- and
- a substrate comprising a front surface, wherein at least one alignment magnet protrudes from the front surface, wherein a magnetic attraction between the at least one alignment magnet and one of the first attachment member and the second attachment member aligns the first panel relative to the substrate.
A reusable and reattachable writing panel comprising:
- a writing surface;
- a back surface opposite of the writing surface;
- a first connection mechanism embedded partially within the writing panel and positioned within an aperture defined in to the back surface, and operable to mount the writing panel on a surface;
- and
- a second connection mechanism coupled to the back surface, at least partially aligned with the first connection mechanism, and operable to mount the writing panel on a surface, wherein the first connection mechanism defines a first type of connection force and the second connection mechanism defines a second type of connection force different from the first type of connection force.
