Description: Introducing Ergo-Write, the world’s first and only Ergonomic White Board. The system is a wall mounted device for easily raising and lowering dry erasable, magnetic and smart boards. Adults of all heights, children, individuals in wheel chairs and you the user, are able to work at your natural and preferred writing height while enjoying the ability to utilize the entire board. Most white boards get heavily used in their centers because the users can’t reach the tops and bottoms of the boards. By using this system that moves the boards up and down, you can now write at your most natural height, and move the BOARD up and down instead of your arm, reducing arm fatigue by 30% while utilizing up to 50% more of the board. This patented system combines a standard white board with our specially designed arm attached to an air shock which makes your board weightless. This allows all users, regardless of height, to move the board up and down as needed with very little effort. NO BENDING, NO REACHING, JUST WRITE. Installation of the complete system is approximately 80% faster than installing a “standard” board. Users of a vertical moving dry erase, magnetic, or smart boards include; schools and universities, offices, meeting rooms, board rooms, training rooms, conference rooms, and commercial use in manufacturing planning rooms, break rooms and scheduling out on shop floors. In short anywhere a board is used Ergo-Write can help people use it more efficiently, safely and comfortably and it will fit any new or existing board Ergo-Write has focused on generating prototypes, which have all been incorporated into our two patents. After two years of unrelenting design development and undergoing rigorous product testing, Ergo-Write now has the final working prototype installed and is used numerous times everyday to schedule a three shift operation. It is weightless. To raise it you only need to use one finger. Everybody that uses them thoroughly enjoys the experience. The one used for scheduling has the first shift on the top portion, the second shift is in the middle and the third shift is on the bottom. As you can imagine it moves a lot. We have a second one on a Magnetic board that works just as well and a third one in a conference room. I have been working with Hovey Williams LLP in Overland Park, KS. Ergo-Write (U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 12/108,142 was filed in 2007 then published on October 29, 2009 Publication No. 2(Phone # removed)-A1).A full patent search has been completed. A second patent for our weightless version has been filed and is now patent pending. In closing, if you are interested in further information, I have put together a brochure demonstrating how our product works and outlining different applications for its use.
