Abstract
A device generally intended to be used for providing a magnetic surface that can be temporarily attached to a non-magnetic surface. The device includes a board element and an attachment assembly. The attachment assembly can be, for example, suction or adhesive based, and can enable the board element to be attached to many substantially flat surfaces. The board element can include a piece of sheet steel or a composite of sheet steel and other suitable structural materials. One or more surfaces of the board element can be coated to provide a smooth non-porous surface. The non-porous surface can enable the use of, among other things, dry-erase markers and other erasable writing implements.
Claims20
A device for providing a removable magnetic surface on a non-magnetic surface comprising:
- a board element comprising a first surface and a second surface, the first surface and the second surface disposed on opposite sides of the board element;
- and
- an attachment means for attaching the second surface to a non-magnetic surface in a removable, non-marring manner such that the second surface and the non-magnetic surface are disposed in a substantially parallel and opposing manner.
A device for providing a removable magnetic surface on a non-magnetic surface comprising:
- a board element comprising a first surface and a second surface, the first surface and the second surface disposed on opposite sides of the board element;
- and
- an attachment means, for attaching the second surface to corresponding attachment means installed on a non-magnetic surface, such that the second surface and the non-magnetic surface are disposed in a substantially parallel and opposing manner.
A method for providing a magnetic surface on a non-magnetic surface comprising:
- providing a board element with a first surface and a second surface;
- covering one or both of the first surface and the second surface with a smooth, non-porous coating;
- and
- providing an attachment means for detachably affixing the second surface of the board element to a non-magnetic surface.
