Abstract: A display article comprising one of a magnetic and magnet attractive material disposed such that the material defines an area, a substrate for the material, the substrate optionally being permeable to a pushpin, the material allowing a magnet or magnet attractive material to be secured thereto, the material be integrally secured to the substrate so as to form a composite article whereby an item to be displayed can be secured to the composite article by a magnet or magnet attractive material and optionally by a pushpin. The composite article is suitable for use as a display surface, allowing securement of articles to be displayed by a magnet or optionally by pushpin. The composite article may be used as wallpaper or a wall covering, for example.

Abstract: A kit of components for use with a pin permeable board, the kit of components comprising a pin suitable for penetrating the pin permeable board for frictional engagement with the pin permeable board; and a magnet; further wherein the pin has a gripping handle, the gripping handle having a magnet attractive top surface configured to receive the magnet; whereby the magnet can be attached to the gripping handle by magnetic force thereby to allow an object to be displayed to be secured to the gripping handle between the handle and the magnet, and wherein the magnet remains in position on the gripping handle by magnetic attraction through the object when the pin is engaged in a vertically disposed pin permeableboard.

Abstract: An electrical network comprising: a first pin permeable insulating covering layer, a first electrically conductive layer disposed beneath the first covering material, a second insulating layer disposed beneath the first electrically conductive layer; and a second electrically conductive layer disposed beneath the second insulating layer, the first and second electrically conductive layers being insulated from each other by the second insulating layer and being adapted to be coupled to an electrical power source, the first and second insulating layers being permeable by an electrical connector device having at least one pin having contacts for contacting with respective ones of the first and second electrically conductive layers to supply power to an electrical device connected to the electrical pin device.

Abstract: A display board, panel, or wall section comprising a penetrating object permeable panel and a ferromagnetic apertured material, preferably a wire mesh, disposed on a surface of the permeable panel, the apertured material being exposed to view and being adapted to receive magnetic means for securing an item to be displayed on the display panel and further having an aperture size such that the permeable panel is adapted to receive a penetrating object, such as a tack, for securing an item to be displayed on the display panel through an aperture of the apertured material.
