Assignee:

Comsero, Inc. - Thornton CO

International Classification:

B43L 1/00

Abstract:

The present invention generally relates to a modular erasable writing panel configured to interconnect with a surface prepared with mounting units. The mounting units provide an interface between a multi-sided modular erasable writing panel and another surface such as a wall, cabinet, or other surface. The writing panel is configured to provide multiple erasable writing surfaces configured to interconnect without adhesive to the mounting units wherein repeated dismounting of the erasable writing surface does not debilitate the adhesive bond between the mounting units and the existing surface. The mounting unit provide micro-suction elements configured to removably interconnect the writing panel with the mounting unit repeatedly without diminishing the holding bond between the mounting unit and the writing panel.

International Classification:

B43L 19/00

Abstract:

An eraser includes a body portion defining a plurality of passages configured to hold a plurality of writing implements. The eraser may further include an eraser portion forming a side of the body portion. The eraser may further include an attachment portion forming a second side the body portion. The attachment portion may be configured to releasably secure the eraser to a writable surface formed from a non-magnetic material. An eraser kit may include the eraser and a plurality of writing implements. In a first configuration, the eraser may releasably secured to a writable surface using the attachment portion. In a second configuration, the eraser may be engaged with the writable surface to modify markings using the eraser portion.

Assignee:

Comsero, Inc. - Denver CO

International Classification:

A47B 97/00
B43L 1/00

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a reusable writing panel including a writing surface and attachment mechanisms is disclosed. The writing panel may include a stacked layer configuration, having a front or first layer defining a writing surface and a rear or second layer defining a connection surface, with an optional spacer layer positioned therebetween. The connection surface may include one or more attachable or securable elements, such as a first attraction element and a second attraction element, that may generate different types of attraction forces, e.g., magnetic and suction. This variation in connection types allows the panel to be securable to various types of objects or surfaces, e.g., magnetic and non-magnetic surfaces.

International Classification:

B43L 1/00
B43L 3/00

Abstract:

Disclosed is a writing board attached to a surface for receiving notes or instructions from a user. The writing board includes a vinyl foam, a flexible coating, a temporary backing film, an erase film, and an adhesive layer. The writing board further includes a second temporary backing film. The vinyl foam includes a top surface and a microscopic cavernous surface. The flexible coating is coated on one of the microscopic cavernous surfaces to render the vinyl foam air-tight. The temporary backing film covers the microscopic cavernous surface coated with the flexible coating. A user peels of the temporary backing film to firmly attach the vinyl foam to the surface. The erase film is attached to the top surface of the vinyl foam. The erase film allows the user to write and erase content. The adhesive layer attaches the erase film to the top surface of the vinyl foam.
