An erasable board cover system is provided to enable the selective
covering and concealment of the writing surface of the erasable board.
The cover system can include a retractable cover that is adapted to
slidably cover the erasable board using edge mounted tracks and reels and
cords. In other embodiments the cover is a retrofit item that can be
disposed over a erasable board in a stationary, static manner, or can be
retractably mounted over the erasable board. A manual knob or an electric
motor can control the deployment and/or retraction of the erasable board
cover in the retractable embodiment. A locking mechanism is provided and
configured to secure and prevent movement of, or the removal of, the
cover when in a locked position.
