(1) Field of the Invention
(2) Description of Related Art including information disclosed under 37 CFR 1.97 and 1.98
The disclosure and prior art relates to name identification devices and more particularly pertains to a student aid device allowing a student to place their name upon the device and thereafter magnetically adhere the device to a desk.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a magnetic panel that has a front side, a rear side and a peripheral edge. A plastic coating is non-removably attached to and covers the front side of the panel. The plastic coating comprises a dry erase board for displaying an erasable writing material. The plastic coating has a plurality of indicia positioned thereon and includes a blank space is bounded by a perimeter line. The blank space defines a name area to allow a person to write a name therein. The indicia includes a plurality of reference areas to assist a student with answering a school question.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
A plastic coating 20 is non-removably attached to and covers the front side 14 of the magnetic panel 12. The plastic coating 20 comprises a conventional dry erase board configured to display an erasable writing material.
The plastic coating 20 has a plurality of indicia positioned thereon. The indicia includes a blank space 24 that is bounded by a perimeter line 22. The blank space 28 defines a name area configured to allow a person, such as a student, to write a name therein thus identifying the desk as theirs.
The indicia includes a plurality of reference areas 26. Each of the reference areas 26 include a reference indicia. At least one of the reference areas is elongated and defines a ruler 38. The remaining reference areas including indicia that is selected from the group including number indicia 30, letter indicia 42, color indicia 44 and shape indicia 32.
In use, the reference areas are configured to assist a student with answering a school question and generally be useful for teaching younger children measurements, colors, shapes, numbers and the like.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
