CONVERTIBLE METAL BACKINGS AND RELATED METHODS
A substrate usable with a double-side adhesive strip to suspend the substrate to a wall surface. The substrate can have one or more access holes located within an outer perimeter of the substrate. Each access hole has an inner perimeter inwardly of the outer perimeter that is sized and shaped to allow a tab of the double-sided adhesive strip to be extracted through the inner perimeter, after the substrate is suspended on the wall surface. Various articles can attach to the suspended substrate, such as through magnetic attachment, a hook, or a shelf.

Dry erase marker board system with solid wetting marker board
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.
Drawing device
A drawing device with a rotatable display screen is provided, having a housing having a cavity therein and a display screen sealingly rotatably coupled to the housing. An inner surface of the display screen forms an enclosure with the cavity. A powder is contained within the enclosure, the powder being removably adherent to the inner surface of the display screen. A first stylus controller is supported on an exterior of the housing. At least one positioning structure is supported in the enclosure and coupled to the first stylus controller to move a first stylus in a first set of directions that are parallel to a first axis. The first stylus removes the powder from the inner surface of the display screen through contact with the inner surface of the display screen.
LINK BODY, FOLDING STRUCTURE PROVIDED WITH SAME LINK BODY, AND SEPARATING MEMBER USED FOR SAME FOLDING STRUCTURE
Superior usability is provided and the degree of freedom in terms of use is enhanced. A plurality of link members A1 and A2 include at least one of linear edges A12 and A22 at the peripheral edge of a facing surface A10 or A20 that faces in a folded state. At least one of the adjacent link members A1 and A2 is a magnet, and the other is a material attracted by the magnet. A link body A is formed of the link members A1 and A2 that are linked by the attracting force due to the magnetic force of the link members A1 and A2, of which the linear edges A12 and A22 are aligned.
Magnet erased eWriter
A magnet erased writing device or eWriter includes cholesteric liquid crystal material, in which a written image is erased using magnetically activated electronic circuitry. By eliminating the mechanical erase button of Prior Art eWriters, the eWriter can be designed with a display footprint that can cover nearly the entire face of the eWriter. An erasing magnet can be used with the device, which can be handheld as, for example, by being part of a stylus. With the erasing magnet separated from the device and the mechanical erase button being omitted, the eWriter avoids unintentional erasures, a drawback of Prior Art eWriters.
Structurally compact display assembly with pressure fit
A media display assembly that includes a base assembly, including a base and a steel plate that forms a front surface of the base assembly and is removably affixed to the base, and wherein the base defines a set of resiliently deformable inwardly facing side surfaces. A cover, including a sheet having transparent display portion, is fit and held by tension between the resiliently deformable inwardly facing side surfaces. Finally, display media is interposed between the steel plate and the cover.
Modular reusable writing panels and system thereof
In one embodiment, a reusable writing kit is disclosed. The kit includes a substrate comprising a substrate writable surface and a substrate rear surface and a panel releasably mountable to the substrate. The panel includes a panel writing surface, a panel rear surface, and a first attachment member having a first type of securing force operable to mount the panel to the substrate, where the panel is mounted to the substrate and the panel rear surface is spaced apart from the substrate writable surface.
MODULAR TILE ORGANIZATION SYSTEMS
Modular tile organization systems for use on a support surface. The systems include a dock and a plurality of tiles. The dock has a rear surface facing the support surface and a front surface. The dock is configured to abut the support surface with the front surface facing a user. The tiles are configured to be selectively fixed to the front surface of the dock in selected positions. The tiles include a tile body, a top, and a tile magnet. The tile body abuts the dock and defines a tile cavity. The top is disposed on the tile body, covers the tile cavity, and has a top surface. The tile magnet is disposed in the tile cavity and configured to magnetically couple the dock. The top surface is configured to be selectively marked and erased.
Magnetic display including quick-release mechanism
A magnetic display unit includes: a display layer; a magnetic layer located behind the display layer; and a quick-release mechanism including an activator, wherein the quick-release mechanism is adapted to increase the distance between the magnetic layer and the display layer such that, when activated by the activator, the quick-release mechanism causes any magnets located along the display layer to be released from the display layer.
