Abstract
A clipboard includes a first support surface, a retainer adjacent the first support surface, a first receptacle coupled to the first support surface, and a lid. The retainer is configured to hold objects adjacent to the first support surface. The first receptacle has a first opening. The lid is movable between a closed position in which the first opening is covered and an open position in which the first opening is uncovered. The lid is configured to move between the closed position and the open position while the support surface remains stationary.
Claims40
A clipboard comprising:
- a first support surface;
- a retainer adjacent the first support surface, wherein the retainer is configured to hold objects adjacent to the first support surface;
- a first receptacle coupled to the first support surface, the first receptacle having a first opening;
- and
- a lid movable between a closed position in which the first opening is covered and an open position in which the first opening is uncovered, wherein the lid is configured to move between the closed position and the open position while the support surface remains stationary.
The clipboard of claim 7, wherein the retainer is proximate a first end of the first support surface and wherein the first receptacle is proximate a second opposite end of the first support surface.
A clipboard having a major dimension terminating at first and second ends and a minor dimension terminating at first and second sides, the clipboard comprising:
- a first support surface;
- a retainer adjacent the first support surface, wherein the retainer is configured to hold objects adjacent to the first support surface;
- and
- a first receptacle pivotally supported for pivotal movement about a first pivot axis extending intermediate at least one of the first and second sides and the first and second ends.
A clipboard comprising:
- a first receptacle having a first opening;
- a second receptacle beside the first receptacle having a second opening;
- a first cover proximate the first receptacle;
- and
- a second cover proximate the second receptacle, wherein at least one of the first cover and the second cover include a substantially planar support surface, wherein at least one of the first cover and the first receptacle are configured to move relative to one another between a first opening covered position and a first opening closed position, and wherein at least one of the second cover and the second receptacle are configured to move relative to one another between a second opening covered position and a second opening closed position.
A clipboard having a major dimension extending along a first major axis and a minor dimension extending along a second minor axis, the clipboard comprising:
- a top member providing a first support surface;
- a retainer adjacent to the first support surface, wherein the retainer is configured to hold objects adjacent to the first support surface;
- and
- a receptacle slidably supported relative to the first support surface for movement in a direction parallel to the second minor axis between a covered position in which the first receptacle extends below the first support surface and an uncovered position.
