Abstract
A tactical board includes embedded magnets secured therewithin the tactical board. A transparent cover overlays the magnets and substrate. A stylus is provided to manipulate the position of the magnets on the substrate. The tactical board preferably includes indicia in the form of common sorts playing surfaces or the like.
Claims1
A tactical board, consisting of:
- a substrate delineated directly between a field section and an open section;
- a cover positioned directly overtop a first side of the substrate, the cover is coextensive with the substrate and mounted parallel thereto at a height there above;
- a border binding directly a common perimeter edge of the substrate and the cover;
- an interstitial space bounded directly by the substrate, the cover, and the border, the interstitial space includes a plurality of markers that reside directly within the interstitial space;
- and
- a magnetic stylus is provided with the board to facilitate positioning of any of the markers on the substrate;
- wherein the field section having a plurality of features that delineate a sports playing field;
- wherein a reverse side of the substrate is directly coated with a marking surface to enhance one or more instructional features;
- wherein the substrate is magnetic and has a magnetic coating;
- wherein the plurality of features of the field section are a plurality of indicia that resemble the sports playing field;
- wherein the field section is located centrally on the substrate;
- wherein the common perimeter edge is continuous to provide a continuous integral element;
- wherein the cover provides an unimpeded transparent view of the open section and the field section;
- wherein the magnetic stylus has a magnetic tip portion of the stylus;
- wherein the cover is made of acrylic or glass;
- wherein the border adhesively bonds to the common perimeter edge of the substrate and the cover;
- wherein the border is conjoined with a friction-style fitting to the common perimeter edge of the substrate and the cover;
- wherein each of the markers are magnetic to enable a magnetic communication with the substrate in order to secure retention of its position thereon when positioned;
- wherein each of the markers are coated with a magnetic material to enable the magnetic communication with the substrate in order to secure retention of its position thereon when positioned;
- wherein for further retention of the markers, the interstitial space is at a height that is slightly greater than a thickness of each of the markers to restrict them from unintended movement when the entire board is moved;
- and
- wherein the field section is biased on a side of the substrate.
