Micro-suction reusable and repositionable writing surfaces

Abstract

A re-usable writing surface reusably and removably coupled to exterior surfaces is disclosed. The re-usable writing surface may include a porous layer. The porous layer may define one or more cells. The re-usable writing surface may further include a non-adhesive coating applied to a side of the porous layer. The re-usable writing surface may further include a writable layer coupled to a different side of the porous layer. The writable layer may be configured to allow a user to draft and erase content. The non-adhesive coating can enable the re-useable writing surface to reusably and removably couple to exterior surfaces.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A re-useable and repositionable writing surface kit comprising:
 a flexible closed-cell foam layer having a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface comprising a plurality of airtight microscopic cavernous cells, and a first shape;   a backing film removably interconnected to the second surface of the foam layer;   an adhesive layer having a first shape; and   a writeable layer having a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, and a first shape;   wherein the first surface of the writeable layer is adhered to the first surface of the foam layer by the adhesive layer;   wherein a subset of the plurality of airtight microscopic cavernous cells are adapted to reusably couple the writing surface to an existing surface by microsuction;   wherein and the second surface of the writable layer comprises a dry erase or wet erase surface; and   wherein the first shapes of each of the writable layer, adhesive layer, and foam layer are coextensive.   
     
     
         2 . The re-useable and repositionable writing surface kit of  claim 1 , wherein the combined thickness of the foam layer, adhesive layer, and writable layer is at least 1 millimeter. 
     
     
         3 . The re-useable and repositionable writing surface kit of  claim 1 , wherein the combined thickness of the foam layer, adhesive layer, and writable layer is greater than 1 millimeter. 
     
     
         4 . The re-useable and repositionable writing surface kit of  claim 1 , wherein the closed-cell comprises closed-cell polyvinyl chloride, vinyl foam, acrylic, or PVC foam. 
     
     
         5 . The re-useable and repositionable writing surface kit of  claim 1 , wherein the existing surface comprises woods, metals, or walls. 
     
     
         6 . The re-useable and repositionable writing surface kit of  claim 1 , wherein the re-useable writing surface is elastically deformable. 
     
     
         7 . The re-useable and repositionable writing surface kit of  claim 1 , wherein the backing film comprises one of wax-coated paper, silicone coated paper, calendared kraft paper, glassine, clay coated kraft paper, machine finished kraft paper, or machine glazed paper. 
     
     
         8 . The re-useable and repositionable writing surface kit of  claim 1 , wherein the first shape comprises one of an arrow, a human figure, a geometric shape, or a custom shape. 
     
     
         9 . The re-useable and repositionable writing surface kit of  claim 8 , wherein the first shape is a square or rectangle. 
     
     
         10 . The re-useable and repositionable writing surface kit of  claim 8 , wherein the first shape is a rectangle having a ratio of 4:3, 16:9, or 2:1. 
     
     
         11 . The re-useable and repositionable writing surface kit of  claim 1 , wherein the writable layer comprises PET, polyethylene, polyurethane, or polyester. 
     
     
         12 . The re-useable and repositionable writing surface kit of  claim 1 , wherein the adhesive layer comprises a solvent synthetic resin adhesive, cyanoacrylate adhesive, acrylic adhesive, anaerobic adhesive, silicone adhesive, or urethane adhesive. 
     
     
         13 . The re-useable and repositionable writing surface kit of  claim 1 , wherein the first shapes of the writable layer, adhesive layer, and foam layer are die-cut. 
     
     
         14 . The re-useable and repositionable writing surface kit of  claim 1 , wherein the writing surface is adapted to be reusably coupled to an existing surface by microsuction after being washed with water. 
     
     
         15 . The re-useable and repositionable writing surface kit of  claim 1 , wherein the foam layer has density of about 9.0 pounds per cubic foot. 
     
     
         16 . The re-useable and repositionable writing surface kit of  claim 1 , wherein the foam layer has a tensile strength of about 50 pounds per square inch. 
     
     
         17 . The re-useable and repositionable writing surface kit of  claim 1 , wherein the foam layer is capable of about 250% elongation.
