Other features of therail 30 will be described in more detail below with respect toFIG. 4 . -
FIGS. 2 and 3 illustrate the portablewhite board assembly 18 for use in thedisplay system 14 in more detail. In the illustrated embodiment, thewhite board assembly 18 includes awhite board 32 having adry erase surface 34 that allows for easy addition and removal of information using a suitable dry erase marker. Thewhite board assembly 18 further includes aframe 50 surrounding at least a portion of the edges of thewhite board 32. Theframe 50 includescorner portions 54 that protect the corners of thewhite board 32 and aside molding 58 coupled to the bottom and sides of thewhite board 32. Theside molding 58 has a rounded exterior and includes aninner protrusion 70 that interacts with acorresponding cavity 74 in theboard 32 to secure theside molding 58 to theboard 32. - The
frame 50 further includes atop molding 78 coupled to the top of theboard 32. Thetop molding 78 includes aninner protrusion 86 that interacts with acorresponding cavity 90 in the top of theboard 32 to secure thetop molding 78 to theboard 32. Thetop molding 78 further includes anouter protrusion 92 that can flex to accommodate variations in the width of therail 30 when thewhite board assembly 18 is coupled to therail 30. Thetop molding 78 further includes aboard hook portion 94 that defines a gap having a width W1 that is designed to couple theboard assembly 18 to therail 30. - With reference to
FIG. 4 , therail 30 is designed to be coupled to a mounting surface, such as thewall 48. Therail 30 includes amounting portion 102, afirst hook portion 106, and asecond hook portion 110 capable of receiving an accessory. Themounting portion 102 includes anaperture 114 through which afastener 116 can be inserted to couple therail 30 to thewall 48. The fastener could be a screw, a nail, a bolt, a rivet, glue, mating layers of hook and loop material, or any other appropriate fastener. - The

For example, awhite board 32 having greater flexibility could be mounted at a steeper angle than a board with less flexibility. -
FIG. 5 illustrates thewhite board assembly 18 coupled to therail 30. Coupling thewhite board assembly 18 to therail 30 angles thewhite board assembly 18 with respect to the mountingportion 102 of therail 30, causing a portion of the white board assembly 18 (near the bottom edge 62) to engage and press against thewall 48. This pressure engagement causes theassembly 18 to flex away from the mountingportion 102 of therail 30. It is understood that, while thewhite board assembly 18 contacts thewall 48 near the bottom edge 62 of theboard assembly 18 in the illustrated embodiment, any portion of thewhite board assembly 18 can contact the wall and still fall within the scope of the present invention. - The pressure engagement of the
white board assembly 18 to thewall 48 securely couples thewhite board assembly 18 to therail 30 such that when a user exerts pressure in the dry erasesurface 34, such as by writing on thesurface 34, thewhite board assembly 18 does not move with respect to thewall 48. Thus, thewhite board assembly 18 is securely coupled to therail 30 and is stable for ease of use by the user. - It is understood that in other embodiments (not shown), the first hook portion 106 (and thus the axis 118) can be substantially parallel to the mounting
portion 102. In these embodiments, the pressure engagement between thewhite board assembly 18 and thewall 48 is due to factors other than the angle of the axis. For example, the bottom edge 62 of thewhite board assembly 18 could have a greater width than the remainder of the board, resulting in engagement between the bottom edge 62 of thewhite board assembly 18 and thewall 48. In this embodiment, thewhite board assembly 18 would flex away from the mountingportion 102 of therail 30 as the display board is coupled to the rail 30 (i.e., it would be flexed to allow coupling of theboard assembly 18 to the rail 30). - Referring back to
FIG. 1 , the display system of the illustrated embodiment also includes a plurality of accessories coupled to thesecond hook portion 110 of therail 30.
