Kit and method for an interchangeable graphic for game equipment, and equipment provided therewith

Abstract

A kit for providing interchangeable graphics on the playing surface of game equipment includes a magnetizable layer having an adhesive on a surface thereof, and a removable graphic sheet assembly adapted to be magnetically attached to the magnetizable layer. The removable graphic sheet assembly comprises a magnetic layer and a graphic that is visible on a surface of the magnetic layer. The game equipment may include a box having a surface and a hole defined in the surface, and the kit installed on the surface of the box. Methods of installing the kit on the surface of game equipment may include adhering the magnetizable layer to the surface of the box, and then magnetically attaching the graphic sheet assembly to the magnetizable layer.

1 . A kit for providing an interchangeable magnetic graphic system on a surface of game equipment, the kit comprising:
 a magnetizable layer having an adhesive on a surface thereof; and   a removable graphic sheet assembly adapted to be magnetically attached to the magnetizable layer, the removable graphic sheet assembly comprising a magnetic layer and a graphic that is visible at a surface of the magnetic layer.   
     
     
         2 . The kit according to  claim 1 , wherein the graphic is defined by a layer that is permanently adhered to the magnetic layer. 
     
     
         3 . The kit according to  claim 2 , further comprising a transparent or translucent topcoat that protectively overlies the graphic on the magnetic layer. 
     
     
         4 . The kit according to  claim 1 , further comprising an adhesive layer permanently adhered to the magnetizable layer. 
     
     
         5 . The kit according to  claim 1 , wherein the magnetizable layer and the removable graphic sheet assembly each have a hole predefined therein. 
     
     
         6 . A method of installing the interchangeable magnetic graphic system of  claim 1  on the surface of the game equipment, the method comprising:
 adhering the magnetizable layer to the surface of the game equipment; and 
 removably magnetically attaching the graphic sheet assembly to the magnetizable layer. 
 
     
     
         7 . The method according to  claim 6 , the method further comprising removing the graphic sheet assembly from the magnetizable layer and installing a different graphic sheet assembly on the magnetizable layer. 
     
     
         8 . A platform for a cornhole game, the platform comprising:
 a box having a surface and a hole defined in the surface; and   an interchangeable magnetic graphic system on the surface of the box, the interchangeable magnetic graphic system comprising a magnetizable layer adhered to the surface of the box and a removable graphic sheet assembly magnetically attached to the magnetizable layer, the removable graphic sheet assembly comprising a magnetic layer and a graphic that is visible on a surface of the magnetic layer.   
     
     
         9 . The platform according to  claim 8 , wherein the graphic is defined by a layer that is permanently adhered to the magnetic layer. 
     
     
         10 . The platform according to  claim 9 , further comprising a transparent or translucent topcoat that protectively overlies the graphic on the magnetic layer. 
     
     
         11 . The platform according to  claim 8 , further comprising an adhesive layer permanently adhered to the magnetizable layer and adhering the magnetizable layer to the surface of the box. 
     
     
         12 . The platform according to  claim 8 , wherein the magnetizable layer and the removable graphic sheet assembly each have a hole predefined therein and corresponding in size and location to the hole in the surface of the box. 
     
     
         13 . A method of installing the interchangeable magnetic graphic system of  claim 8  on the surface of the box, the method comprising:
 adhering the magnetizable layer to the surface of the box; and 
 removably magnetically attaching the graphic sheet assembly to the magnetizable layer. 
 
     
     
         14 . The method according to  claim 13 , the method further comprising removing the graphic sheet assembly from the magnetizable layer and installing a different graphic sheet assembly on the magnetizable layer. 
     
     
         15 . A removable graphic sheet assembly for use with an interchangeable magnetic graphic system on a surface of game equipment, the removable graphic sheet assembly comprising:
 a magnetic layer adapted to be magnetically attached to a magnetizable layer of the interchangeable magnetic graphic system;   a graphic that is visible at a surface of the magnetic layer; and   a transparent or translucent topcoat that protectively overlies the graphic on the magnetic layer.
