Abstract
A display board assembly includes a polymeric board having edges, a backing coupled with the polymeric board and configured to engage a mounting surface, and a dry erase surface coupled with the polymeric board. The backing is spaced inwardly from the edges of the polymeric board.
Claims32
A display board assembly comprising:
- a polymeric board having edges;
- a non-metallic backing coupled with the polymeric board and configured to engage a mounting surface, the backing being spaced inwardly from the edges of the polymeric board and having a thickness at least two times the thickness of the polymeric board to space the polymeric board from the mounting surface;
- a dry erase surface coupled with the polymeric board;
- a bore extending through at least one of the polymeric board, the backing, and the dry erase surface;
- and
- a mounting system configured to mount the display board assembly to the mounting surface, the mounting system including
- a mounting protrusion configured to be mounted to the mounting surface and to be received in the bore of the display board assembly;
- and
- a cap configured to be secured to the mounting protrusion when the mounting protrusion is in the bore to cover the bore and secure the display board assembly to the mounting protrusion.
