Whiteboard assembly

Abstract

A white board assembly including a wall mountable base structure upon which a frame structure constructed of a plurality of frame members that each have grooves defining a panel receiving space into which a display panel may be inserted through and removed from a slot provided by at least one of the frame members. The frame structure is affixed to the base structure in such a way that allows the frame structure to be moved between an open and closed position. A writing panel is mounted to at least one of the base structure and the frame structure in such a way that when the frame structure is in the closed position, the writing panel is concealed and the display panel is displayed. When the frame structure is in the closed position, the writing panel is displayed.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A white board assembly, comprising:
 a base structure adapted to be wall mounted;   a frame structure constructed of a plurality of frame members, each of the frame members having a groove that defines a panel receiving space along an interior side of the frame structure, and at least one of the frame members having a slot that provides access to the panel receiving space such that a display panel may be inserted into and removed from the panel receiving space, the frame structure being affixed to the base structure in such a way that the frame structure is moveable between a closed position and an open position; and   at least one writing panel mounted to at least one of the base structure and the frame structure in such a way that when the frame structure is in the closed position the at least one writing panel is concealed from view by the frame structure and the display panel inserted in the panel receiving space is displayed, and when the frame structure is in the open position the at least one writing panel is displayed.   
     
     
         2 . The white board assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the panel receiving space has a length and a width, and the slot has a length which substantially corresponds with at least one of the length and the width of the panel receiving space. 
     
     
         3 . The white board assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the writing panel has a smooth surface adapted for marking thereon with dry wipe marking ink. 
     
     
         4 . A white board assembly, comprising:
 a base structure adapted to be wall mounted;   a frame structure constructed of a plurality of frame members, each of the frame members having a groove that defines a panel receiving space along an interior side of the frame structure, and at least one of the frame members having a slot that provides access to the panel receiving space, and the frame structure being affixed to the base structure such that the frame structure is moveable between a closed position and an open position;   a display panel disposed in the panel receiving space, the display panel being slidably removable from the panel receiving space through the slot; and   at least one writing panel mounted to at least one of the base structure and the frame structure in such a way that when the frame structure is in the closed position the at least one writing panel is concealed from view by the frame structure and the display panel inserted in the panel receiving space is displayed, and when the frame structure is in the open position the at least one writing panel is displayed.   
     
     
         5 . The white board assembly of  claim 4 , wherein the panel receiving space has a length and a width, and the slot has a length which substantially corresponds with at least one of the length and the width of the panel receiving space. 
     
     
         6 . The white board assembly of  claim 4 , wherein the writing panel has a smooth surface adapted for marking thereon with dry wipe marking ink.
