Apparatus for display/memo board

Abstract

An apparatus and system for a memo/display board includes a frame having a top, a bottom, a first side and an opposite second side. There is an elongated slot within the top of the frame for inserting a surface into the frame such that the frame encloses the surface. Writing surfaces include paper, dry erase, wet erase, and chalkboard surfaces for use with various writing utensils.

1 . An apparatus for framing a surface, comprising: 
 a frame having a top, a bottom, a first side and an opposite second side;    an elongated slot within said top of the frame for inserting a surface into the frame such that the frame encloses the surface.    
   
   
       2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising a magnetic backing operatively connected to the frame for removably connecting the apparatus.  
   
   
       3 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising at least one retaining member extending into the slot.  
   
   
       4 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising a rigid body for insertion into the frame to substantially fill the frame.  
   
   
       5 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the rigid body is a transparent plastic.  
   
   
       6 . The apparatus of  claim 4  further comprising a mirrored writing surface for insertion into the frame.  
   
   
       7 . The apparatus of  claim 4  further comprising a chalk board surface for insertion into the frame.  
   
   
       8 . The apparatus of  claim 4  further comprising a dry erase surface for insertion into the frame.  
   
   
       9 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising a wet erase surface for insertion into the frame.  
   
   
       10 . A system for a memo board, comprising: 
 a frame having a top, a bottom, a first side and an opposite second side, an elongated slot within the frame for inserting a surface into the frame such that the frame encloses the surface;    a magnetic backing operatively connected to the frame for removably connecting the frame to a metallic body;    a rigid body disposed within the frame to substantially fill the frame;    a writing surface for positioning within the frame;    at least one writing utensil associated with the writing surface.    
   
   
       11 . The system of  claim 10  wherein the writing surface is selected from a set consisting of a paper surface, a mirrored surface, a chalk board surface, a dry erase surface, and a wet erase surface.  
   
   
       12 . The system of  claim 10  further comprising a second magnetic backing attached to each of the at least one writing utensil.  
   
   
       13 . The system of  claim 10  further comprising a clip operatively connected to the frame and one of the at least one writing utensil.  
   
   
       14 . The system of  claim 10  wherein the rigid body is a transparent acrylic.  
   
   
       15 . The system of  claim 10  wherein the writing surface is a paper insert.  
   
   
       16 . The system of  claim 15  wherein the paper insert is preprinted with a calendar.  
   
   
       17 . The system of  claim 10  further comprising an insert for inserting into the frame and extending above the top side of the frame when completely inserted into the frame.  
   
   
       18 . The system of  claim 10  wherein each of the at least one writing utensil is selected from a set consisting of a pencil, a crayon, a dry erase marker, a wet erase marker, a piece of chalk.  
   
   
       19 . The system of  claim 10  further comprising a clip for holding one of the at least one writing utensils.  
   
   
       20 . The system of  claim 19  further comprising an eraser attached directly to the clip.
