A foldable clipboard, including an extended position and a folded position, comprising:
- a first folding panel including a pair of first and second side edges and a pair of outer leg brackets, one outer leg bracket connected to a portion of the first side edge and the other leg bracket connected to a portion of the second side edge;
- a second folding panel including a pair of first and second side edges and a pair of inner leg brackets, one inner leg bracket connected to a portion of the first side edge, and the other leg bracket connected to a portion of the second side edge;
- a pair of connectors, one connector of the pair of connectors connecting the outer leg bracket of the first side edge of the first folding panel to the inner leg bracket of the first side edge of the second folding panel to form a first hinge, and the other connector connecting the outer leg bracket of the second side edge of the first folding panel to the inner leg bracket of the second side edge of the second folding panel to form a second hinge;
- wherein each outer leg bracket and each inner leg bracket of the first hinge and the second hinge includes an inner side facing each other, and an outer side positioned opposite to each respective inner side,
- wherein when the foldable clipboard is moved into a folded position, the inner side of each outer bracket of both the first hinge and the second hinge moves over at least a portion of each outer side of each inner leg bracket of both the first hinges and the second hinge,
- wherein the first folding panel and the second are moveable to form the folded position, such that one of the first folding panel and the second folding panel overlaps the other to form the folded position, and when in the folded position, the first folding panel is spaced apart from the second folding panel, and
- wherein when the first folding panel and the second folding panel extends away from each other, a portion of the first folding panel abuts a portion of the second folding panel to form a flat, planar structure of the extended position.
