Abstract
A foldable writing board made up of at least four panels attached by hinges or other attachment means so that the board can be folded out flat to become a full size writing board, folded in two to become either a taller or shorter noteboard (folded in a tent-like configuration) or folded in four to either store flat or to be set up as a small computer notepad. The panels are held together by three or more foldable attachment means that hold the panels together, but allow them to also fold along adjacent edges.
Claims16
A foldable writing board comprising:
- at least 4 flat panels, each panel having a writing surface and a rear surface;
- said 4 panels attached to each other with hinges, said hinges holding said panels together to form a flat foldable continuous panel, said hinges allowing said panels to fold relative to each other, said panels foldable in a first folding step and a second folding step;
- said first folding step causing each of said panels to touch one other of said panels forming at least two panel pairs;
- said second folding step causing said panels pairs to touch one another forming a stack of said panels.
A writing board device designed for portable use in a variety of writing configurations comprising four rectangular writing panels of whiteboard material each with edges, attached to each other to form a larger rectangle when laid out flat, and attached in a way allowing the panels to fold along any adjacent edges either inward or outward so the panels can be folded along a horizontal seam and set up in a tent-like fashion, or folded along a vertical seam and set up in a tent-like fashion, or folded along both a horizontal seam and a vertical seam and either set up as a notepad or laid flat with the four panels stacked for storage.
A foldable writing board comprising, in combination:
- a first, second, third, and fourth flat rectangular writing panel, each of said panels with a front writing surface and a rear surface, and each writing panel having two longer edges and two shorter edges;
- said first panel attached to said second panel along a shorter adjacent edge on said first panel and a shorter adjacent edge on said second panel, said first and second panels attached with a first foldable attachment means for holding said adjacent edges together;
- said second panel attached to said third panel along a longer adjacent edge on said second panel and a longer adjacent edge on said third panel, said second and third panels attached with a second foldable attachment means for holding said adjacent edges together;
- said third panel attached to said fourth panel along a shorter adjacent edge on said third panel and a shorter adjacent edge on said fourth panel, said third and forth panels attached with a third foldable attachment means for holding said adjacent edges together;
- said four attached panels forming a larger rectangle when laid flat, said panels foldable along each of said adjacent edges through said foldable attachment means.
