Abstract
An article, such as an artist's canvas (12), having at least one touch sensitive area (14) on its surface is carried in a device (10) comprising a base (16), side walls (18, 19, 20, 21), and a cross-member (22) extending across the device (10) in a position spaced from the base (16). A plurality of contact pins (24) are carried by the cross-member (22) and extend towards the base (16). The location of the contact pins (24) on the cross-member (22) can be adjusted, thereby to enable the contact pins (24) to make contact with the article (12) at positions spaced from the touch sensitive area (14).
