Abstract
A marker board system having a dark colored, low hardness, low surface energy solid silicone sheet to wet to a vertically oriented high surface energy substrate on a smooth, flat back-side of the solid silicone sheet. A front-side of the solid silicone sheet is able to be written upon by brightly colored marker ink. The brightly colored marker ink is able to be easily erased from the front-side of the solid silicone sheet after being written upon the front-side of the solid silicone sheet. The front-side is roughened to diminish beading of the brightly colored marker ink when written on the front-side.
Claims17
An apparatus, comprising:
- a marker board system, comprising a) and b) below:
- a) a flexible solid elastomer sheet having a flat surface, the flexible solid elastomer sheet having a sufficiently low hardness and surface energy such that the flat surface wets to a flat, smooth surface of metal;
- and,
- b) a marker pen having ink that is dry erasable from a surface of the flexible solid elastomer sheet that is opposite the flat surface of the flexible solid elastomer sheet.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a marker board system, comprising a) and b) below:
- a) a flexible solid elastomer sheet having a flat surface, the flexible solid elastomer sheet having a sufficiently low hardness and surface energy such that the flat surface wets to a flat, smooth surface of metal, the flexible solid elastomer sheet further comprising a roughened surface that is opposite the flat surface of the flexible solid elastomer sheet;
- and,
- b) a marker pen having ink that is dry erasable from the roughened surface of the flexible solid elastomer sheet.
An apparatus comprising:
- a marker board comprising a flexible solid elastomer sheet having a flat surface, the flexible solid elastomer sheet having a sufficiently low hardness and surface energy such that the flat surface wets to a flat, smooth surface of metal, the flexible solid elastomer sheet further comprising another surface that is opposite the flat surface of the flexible solid elastomer sheet, wherein, the another surface is roughened to diminish beading of ink written on the marker board.
