2 systemiso.m. that in the places where no photo is placed, the fastener on the frame remains visible, which detracts from the aesthetic character of the frame. 5US2007204500Al The US patent application published as US2007204500Al on 6 September 2007 in the name of UteSplittgerber as applicant also describes a frame for displaying objects, in which magnetic fasteners are used. Also in this case, all fasteners are used on the front of the frame 10. US20160135620 The US patent application published as US20160135620A on 19 May 2016 in the name of SandowMaterialGroupHoldingsLLC as applicant also describes a frame or display board, whereby objects can be attached to the front of the board by means of magnetic fasteners. In this case too, all means are attached to the front of the board. KR2004-0054636A The Korean patent application published as KR2004-0054636A on 25 June 2004 in the name of IlsungsignCo.Ltd describes a display and method of operationto display an organizational chart (of, for example, an organization or company). The display board uses magnetic fasteners that are placed at fixed positions on the reverse side of the frame. On the front side, the board then contains a flat panel, where small signs can be placed at positions corresponding to the pre-filled reverse side positions, using magnets on the reverse side of the sign. Such a sign then displays, for example, the name of a person, together with, for example, their position in the company, or their presence or absence, or any other characteristic of the person concerned. BE2024 / 0082 3 With this board, there is no option for the user to place the magnets on the reverse side of the board: only fixed positions can be used, corresponding to the shape of the organizational chart displayed on the front side of the board. 5 US5,269,083 The US patent no. 5,269,083 published on 14 December 1993 in the name of C. Vampatella, describes a multi-compartmented frame for displaying photos. The photos are mounted in the respective compartments of the frame.10 by means of magnetic fasteners: one fastener is located on the back of a photo to be placed, the corresponding fastener is located in the middle of each compartment of the frame. This system also has several disadvantages, because the magnetic fasteners placed in the compartments where a photo is placed remain visually visible. 15 US6,626,303B1 The US6,626,303B1, granted 30 Sept. 2003, in the name of PeterMoodie, describes a display board to show items at a predetermined display location. As an example, cutlery, containing the fork, knife, and spoon, is shown. 20 Each object is magnetically "pinned" onto a display board by means of two small magnets, one at the bottom of the spoon and one at the top of the spoon. Each small magnet in such a pair is held in place by a corresponding small magnet placed on the back of the display panel. The display contains a (large) number of "magnet receptables", where the user can attach a small magnet to a number of such receptables to show a specific item.This small magnet placed on the back of the board serves to hold the small magnet on the front of the board, together with the displayed object, in its position. BE2024 / 0082 4 Due to the specific positions of the magnet pairs on both sides of the board, no items can be mispositioned. After all, if a small magnet on the front of the board is held in a position that does not correspond to such a "filled" reverse side position, then it is not held in its place there. According to the doctrine of this patent, every displayed object must be held in its position by at least two pairs of magnets. US8,533,985B2 The US granted patent US8,533,985B2, granted on 17 September 2013, corresponding to the US patent application published as US2007 / 0044360 Al, describes a magnetic board, primarily for planning purposes. The goal of this invention over the state of the art is a more user-friendly method to accurately display and align the objects shown on a presentation board. (Column 1, lines 31-33). As a solution,15 provide (see column 2, lines 42-58) a pattern of magnets with alternating N and S poles on the board. Smaller and larger planning images can then be placed on the board in a precisely repositionable manner. Due to this ordered pattern of poles, the labels are always correctly positioned, and 20 the viewer's attention is drawn to the labels themselves, and he is not distracted by the less ordered or aligned displayed objects known to the state of the art. • This applies in particular when both smaller and larger replanar items are displayed on the board. 25 Characteristic of the method described in the final patent is that at least two pairs of magnets are always used for positioning, to maintain correct alignment and to avoid both translation and rotation of the displayed object.
