  • Patent number: 10081734
    Abstract: A dry erase writing surface has a low gloss level of 35-60 that can be utilized as both a writable/erasable dry erase surface and a projection surface, formed by a single component, 100% solids polyurethane, ambient cured, dry erase paint formulation. The paint formulation includes a low NCO isocyanate, a cure accelerating catalyst, a flow, leveling, and defoaming agent, a silica matting agent to reduce the gloss level of the applied coating, and an aliphatic hydrocarbon. The surface is ready for use in 24 hours. The coating has a low VOC of between 49 g/l and 99 g/1. The coating is applied to a prepared surface of a substrate to form a film thickness of 1-3 mils. Marks on the dry erase surface remain virtually invisible after 2500 cycles.

  • Patent number: 8722795
    Abstract: A dry erase writing surface is formed from a single component, 100% solids polyurethane, ambient cured, dry erase paint composition having at least ninety percent by weight low NCO isocyanate, a cure accelerating catalyst and a defoaming agent. The surface is ready for use in a day. The composition can additionally contain a diluent, vegetable oil or mineral spirits. The coating has a VOC of between 0 and 49 g/l. The coating is initially applied to the surface of the substrate to form a film thickness of 1-3 mils. The whiteboard is characterized as when tested by erasure of the dry erase markers, the marks are virtually invisible after 2500 cycles. The composition can be packaged as a kit with applicators.

  • Patent number: 8074411
    Abstract: A fabric wall panel includes a number of frame members for attachment to a wall to form a frame. Each frame member has a stationary jaw for attachment to the wall and a movable jaw pivotally attached to the stationary jaw by a flexible and stretchable hinge for rotation between an open position and a close position. Each frame member has an opening lock that locks the movable jaw in the open position to facilitate the insertion of fabric between the movable jaw and the stationary jaw. Each frame member also has one or more closing locks that connect the movable jaw to the stationary jaw to thereby hold the movable jaw in the closed position.

  • Patent number: 7299595
    Abstract: A fabric wall panel system includes fabric wall panels mounted by means of a ceiling track with a downwardly open channel and a base track with a panel support surface. Each fabric wall panel is mounted by inserting the top of the fabric wall panel into the downwardly open channel and supporting the fabric wall panel on the panel support surface of the base track. The fabric wall panel may be custom fabricated to eliminate vertical seams or provided in standard size panels with vertical seams between panels. A corner trim piece hides the vertical seam at the corner of the room, a vertical seam trim piece hides the vertical seams, and an outside edge trim piece covers exposed edges of the wall panels. The base track includes a removable trim attachment strip with decorative trim. The base track may be used to trim around openings such as windows.

  • Patent number: 6918212
    Abstract: A fabric wall panel system includes fabric wall panels mounted on a wall of a room by means of a ceiling track with a downwardly open channel mounted adjacent the ceiling and extending the length of the wall and a base track with an upwardly depending support surface mounted adjacent the floor and extending the length of the wall. Each fabric wall panel comprises a fabric cover overlaying a panel insert. Each fabric wall panel is mounted by inserting the top of the fabric wall panel into the downwardly open channel of the ceiling track and supporting the bottom of the fabric wall panel on the upwardly depending support surface of the base track. In one embodiment, the fabric wall panel is fabricated on-site and sized to have a length approximately equal to the length of the wall so that no vertical seams are created. In another embodiment, standard size panels are used with abutting vertical mid-wall seams between adjacent panels.

  • Patent number: 6574936
    Abstract: A fabric wall panel system includes wall panels mounted on a wall by means of a releasable hanger. Each fabric wall panel comprises a frame and a flat filler insert covered by a fabric. Each frame member has a flat spine, an outside web, an inside web, and a front web. Together the outside web, the inside web, and the front web form a hollow channel along the edge of the frame member with internal protrusions to engage the hanger and hold the fabric wall panel in place on the wall. The hanger comprises a resilient material with a flat base affixed to the wall with two forked tongues extend perpendicularly therefrom. The forked tongues engage the protrusions within the hollow channel to hold the frame member securely to the hanger and thus to the wall. The hanger with its resilient forked tongues assures proper spacing between the adjacent fabric wall panels mounted on the hanger.
