Abstract

A glass board projection system includes a support board having a front surface with a defined area extending a length and a width; an anti-glare projector board composed of a glass material and that is removably secured to the support board, the projector board having a thickness extending from a front surface to a back surface; an attachment device rigidly attached to and protruding from the back surface of the anti-glare projector board and configured to removably attach to the front surface of the support board; and a gap formed between the support board and the anti-glare projector board, the gap being formed by the attachment device.

Claims (29)

1. A glass board projection system, comprising:

a support board having a front surface with a defined area extending a length and a width;

an anti-glare projector board composed of a glass material and that is removably secured to the support board, the projector board having a thickness extending from a front surface to a back surface;

an attachment device rigidly attached to and protruding from the back surface of the anti-glare projector board and configured to removably attach to the front surface of the support board, wherein the anti-glare projector board is configured to releasably engage with the support board via the attachment device; and

a gap formed between the support board and the anti-glare projector board, the gap is created by a thickness of the attachment device.

2. The system of claim 1 , the attachment device comprising:

a first elongated spacer extending the length of the support board; and

a second elongated spacer extending the length of the support board;

wherein the first elongated spacer is spaced at a distance from the second elongated spacer.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the gap creates a channel of air passing through the first elongated spacer and the second elongated spacer.

4. The system of claim 2 , wherein the first elongated spacer and the second elongated spacer are magnets; and

wherein the support board is composed of a metallic material.

5. The system of claim 2 , wherein the first elongated spacer and the second elongated spacer are hook-loop fasteners.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the anti-glare board is composed of a satin glass material.

7. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a fabric bonded to the front surface of the support board.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the attachment device forms a gaseous sealed inner area between the front surface of the support board and the back surface of the anti-glare projector board.

9. The system of claim 8 , the attachment device comprising:

a continuous spacer forming the gaseous sealed inner area;

wherein air is trapped within the gaseous sealed inner area by the continuous spacer.

10. A method to reduce a halo effect on a glass board, comprising:

creating a gap between a support board and an anti-glare projector board via an attachment device;

projecting a beam of light through the front surface of the anti-glare projector board; and

reducing the halo effect via the gap disposed between the anti-glare projector board and the support board.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

creating the gap with the attachment device having a first elongated spacer and a second elongated spacer.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

channeling air through the first elongated spacer and the second elongated spacer.

13. The method of claim 10 , wherein the attachment device is a plurality of magnets.
