Solution Overview
Problem
Existing writing boards are either rigid and impractical for transport or flexible but require costly installations and uncomfortable writing experience due to reduced film thickness.
Innovation Solution
A flexible board system comprising a first flexible sheet made of ferromagnetic metal or alloy and a second flexible sheet with magnetic components, allowing rolling and unrolling without creases, and connecting to a surface via magnetic attraction for stable writing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If rigid supports (chipboards, wood, polymer sheets) are used for writing boards, then structural stability is improved, but transportability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies this principle by using flexible sheets (metal, plastic, or composite materials) instead of rigid supports. The flexible sheet can be rolled up for transport and unrolled for use, providing both transportability and a stable writing surface. The sheet is coated with magnetic paint to enable magnetic writing functionality while maintaining flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the physical state and mechanical properties of the board material from rigid to flexible. By selecting materials with appropriate flexibility and magnetic properties, and coating them with magnetic paint, the board achieves both ease of transport (can be rolled) and structural stability (maintains writing surface integrity).
2Ease of operation
If flexible plastic films with magnetic paint are used, then transportability is improved, but installation cost increases due to requirement of ferromagnetic wall installation
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of making the wall ferromagnetic and attaching a thin flexible film, the patent inverts the approach by making the board itself ferromagnetic through magnetic paint coating on the flexible sheet. This eliminates the need for expensive wall modifications while maintaining magnetic writing functionality and flexibility for transport.

AI summary
The system of the invention comprises a first flexible sheet (1) which is made of at least one of the group consisting of an electromagnetic metal, a ferromagnetic metal alloy, or a first permanent magnetic component and a front face configured for writing or for the fixing of printed texts or images on physical medium and coated with a layer of coating composition. The first flexible sheet (1) is connected to a second flexible sheet (2), which is made of a material selected from at least one of the group consisting of a cork, an elastomer, a plastic and composites thereof.The system can be rolled and unrolled without ruptures or loss of contact quality between the first flexible sheet (1) and the second flexible sheet (2) and provides comfortable writing for the user due to the buffering of the second flexible sheet (2).
