Magnetic gypsum panel

Abstract

Magnetic gypsum or drywall is a concept that adds value and application to a standard gypsum drywall panel by insertion of a various sized flat, thin gage ferrous metal sheet into the interior face or substrate of the drywall during the drywall manufacturing process. The drywall-finished product would then become a platform to accept the attachment of a variety of magnets and magnetic objects to its finished surface for display and storage.

Many other variations in feature and construction are obvious to the inventor and to those skilled in the art that fall within the scope of this invention. Having briefly described the invention, I claim:  
     
         1 . A panel with a flat metal insert placed internally facing one surface to act as an attraction target for magnets and objects with magnetic properties.  
     
     
         2 . A panel where the flat metal insert is constructed of very high iron concentration.  
     
     
         3 . A panel where the flat metal insert is constructed of a corrosion resistant coating or treatment.  
     
     
         4 . A panel where the flat metal inserts is positioned in any location or locations within the outside perimeter of the wall panel.  
     
     
         5 . A panel where the flat metal insert is sized to any dimension or shape to accommodate a specific magnetic application.  
     
     
         6 . A panel where the flat metal insert is positioned in any dimension in relation to the depth or thickness of the finished panel.  
     
     
         7 . A panel where the metal insert is constructed of a dimension, curvature, shape, thickness or gage to accommodate a specific magnetic application.  
     
     
         8 . A panel that is used in the construction of interior wall, floor or ceiling that contains a flat metal insert for the purpose of magnetic attraction properties.  
     
     
         9 . A process for inserting a flat metal insert into a gypsum slurry substrate during the panel manufacturing process.  
     
     
         10 . A process for inserting and adhesively securing a flat metal insert onto one surface of a gypsum panel top surface paper covering.
