Abstract:
Certain embodiments of the invention include an apparatus for creating a line. Certain embodiments of an apparatus include two or more reels having an extendable and retractable cord. Pulling the two or more reels apart allows for the creation of a line of various sizes. In certain embodiments, the two reels share a single cord. In certain embodiments, a first reel has a first cord with a first attachment end that joins with another attachment end. Certain embodiments include a reel with a magnet, allowing attachment to a magnetic surface. Certain embodiments of the invention include a system for creating a line. In certain embodiments, the system includes an apparatus, and a pin having a magnet. Certain embodiments of the pin help to change the direction of the cord.

Abstract:
A method of forming a writable erasable area on an object includes selecting a glass sheet having a front surface and a back surface, where the front surface is opposed to and parallel to the back surface. An area of the object where the writable erasable area is to be located is selected. The selected area has a select non-flat shape. The shape of the glass sheet is conformed to the select non-flat shape. The glass sheet is then mounted on the object such that the glass sheet is located at the selected area of the object and conforms in shape to the selected area of the object.
Abstract:
In one exemplary embodiment, an interactive table cloth is provided and includes a foldable substrate processed to receive chalk on a writing surface thereof and being washable so as to permit erasing of any chalk marks made on the substrate such that the substrate appears substantially as new after cleaning. The table clothing also has a border formed around and attached to a peripheral edge of the substrate. The border is formed of a second material that is different from a first material forming the substrate. A guide is printed on the writing surface and being indicative of where chalk is to be applied. The guide being formed of a third material different than the first material and in one embodiment, the guide is permanently adhered to the writing surface by means of a heat transfer printing process and in another embodiment, the guide is removably disposed on the writing surface.
Abstract:
A reusable chalkboard kit is disclosed. The kit includes a deformable vinyl substrate, an underlayment layer configured to allow the deformable vinyl substrate to frictionally engage a stabilizing surface, at least one writing implement, and an eraser component configured to remove one or more markings generated by the at least one writing implement. The deformable vinyl substrate further includes an extended configuration to support marking/drawing on the deformable vinyl substrate and a storage configuration to support stowing of the kit.
Abstract:
An electronic blackboard apparatus, which reads a writing on a writing sheet fitted on a blackboard framework and which electronically copies the writing onto a recording medium. The apparatus includes a blackboard framework foldable together with the writing sheet, and a stand supporting the blackboard framework and a copying device. The stand is reducible in size while supporting the blackboard framework and the writing sheet in their folded position and the copying device. The length of the stand is reducible after the blackboard framework and the writing sheet have been folded to reduce their lengths. The blackboard framework and the writing sheet which have been folded are overturned into a space between opposite legs of the stand and the legs are then closed.
