Display board assembly
The present invention provides a display board assembly including a display board having a dry-erase surface, a recess in the dry-erase surface of the display board, and a support member removably received at least partially within the recess and defining at least one receptacle configured to receive at least one of a dry-erase marker and an eraser.
1. A display board assembly comprising:
a display board including a dry-erase surface;
a recess in the dry-erase surface of the display board; and
a support member received at least partially within the recess and defining a receptacle configured to receive a plurality of dry-erase markers therein, wherein the support member is completely removable from the recess.
2. The display board assembly of claim 1 , wherein the support member includes a base and a foam insert within the base, the foam insert at least partially defining the receptacle.
3. The display board assembly of claim 1 , wherein the support member includes
a base at least partially defining the receptacle; and
a cover coupled to the base;
wherein the cover is movable between a first position, in which the receptacle is accessible, and a second position, in which the receptacle is inaccessible.
4. The display board assembly of claim 3 , wherein the cover includes a dry-erase surface.
5. The display board assembly of claim 3 , wherein the cover is slidably coupled to the base, and wherein the cover includes a stop configured to substantially prevent removal of the cover from the base.
6. The display board assembly of claim 1 , wherein the support member is retained within the recess in the dry-erase surface by an interference fit.
7. The display board assembly of claim 1 , wherein the display board includes a backing beneath the dry-erase surface, wherein the dry-erase surface includes a first cutout and the backing includes a second cutout, and wherein the first and second cutouts at least partially form the recess in the dry-erase surface of the display board.
8. The display board assembly of claim 1 , wherein the dry-erase surface comprises a magnetic surface.
9. The display board assembly of claim 1 , wherein the display board includes a backing beneath the dry-erase surface, and wherein the display board includes at least one cutout in the dry-erase surface to expose the backing.
10. The display board assembly of claim 9 , wherein the backing includes at least one of a corrugate board and a foam sheet.
11. The display board assembly of claim 1 , wherein the dry-erase surface of the display board is a first dry-erase surface, and wherein the support member includes a second dry-erase surface.
12. The display board assembly of claim 11 , wherein the second dry-erase surface is substantially parallel to the first dry-erase surface.
13. The display board assembly of claim 12 , wherein the second dry-erase surface is offset from the first dry-erase surface in a direction normal to the first dry-erase surface.
14. The display board assembly of claim 11 , wherein the first dry-erase surface defines an outer boundary, and wherein the second dry-erase surface is located within the outer boundary of the first dry-erase surface.
15. The display board assembly of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the dry-erase surface of the display board is magnetically attractive, and wherein the support member further includes a magnet for engaging the support member to the dry-erase surface of the display board.
16. The display board assembly of claim 1 , wherein each of the recess and the support member are substantially square-shaped.
17. The display board assembly of claim 1 , wherein the receptacle is configured to receive an eraser in addition to the plurality of dry-erase markers.
