Abstract
A foldable clipboard includes at least two folding panels in which each of the folding panels cooperate to form a single planar surface when in an extended position, and each of the folding panels are configured to pivotally move to form a folded position, such that the foldable clipboard is folded into a size to fit in a pocket of a garment, or other carrying devise.
Claims16
A foldable clipboard, comprising:
- at least a first folding panel, a second folding panel, a third folding panel, and a fourth folding panel, each folding panel configured to cooperate to form a single planar surface when positioned in an expanded position, such that a second edge of the first folding panel abuts a first edge of the second panel, a second edge of the second panel abuts a first edge of the third folding panel, and a second edge of the third folding panel abuts a first edge of the fourth folding panel;
- a first pair of hinges, each hinge of the first pair of hinges positioned spaced-apart in a transverse alignment relative to each other, each hinge of the first pair of hinges including an outer leg bracket and an inner leg bracket that are pivotally connected together, wherein each respective outer leg bracket of the pair of first hinges connects to one of the first side edge and the second side edge, respectively, of the first folding panel and each respective inner leg bracket of the pair of first hinges connects to one of the first side edge and the second side edge, respectively, of the second folding panel;
- a second pair of hinges, each hinge of the second pair of hinges positioned spaced-apart in a transverse alignment relative to each other, each hinge of the second pair of hinges including an outer leg bracket and an inner leg bracket that are pivotally connected together, wherein each respective outer leg bracket of the second pair of hinges connects to one of the first side edge and the second side edge, respectively, of the second folding panel and each respective inner leg bracket of the second pair of hinges connects to one of the first side edge and the second side edge, respectively, of the third folding panel;
- a third pair of hinges, each hinge of the third pair of hinges positioned spaced-apart in a transverse alignment relative to each other, each hinge of the third pair of hinges including an outer leg bracket and an inner leg bracket that are pivotally connected together, each respective outer leg bracket of the third pair of hinges connects to one of the first side edge and the second side edge, respectively, of the third folding panel and each respective inner leg bracket of the third pair of hinges connects to one of the first side edge and the second side edge, respectively, of the fourth folding panel;
- wherein each outer leg bracket and each inner leg bracket of the first pair of hinges, the second pair of hinges, and the third pair of hinges includes an inner side facing each other, and an outer side positioned opposite to each respective inner side, and
- wherein when the foldable clipboard is moved into a folded position, the inner side of each outer bracket of the first pair of hinges, the second pair of hinges, and the third pair of hinges moves over at least a portion of each outer side of each inner leg bracket of the first pair of hinges, the second pair of hinges, and the third pair of hinges.

A foldable clipboard, comprising:
- at least two folding panels which are configured to form a single planar surface when positioned in an expanded position when an edge of each panel of the at least two folding panels is positioned next to each other are positioned to abut each to provide at least a portion of a planar expanded position;
- at least one pair of hinges, each hinge of the pair of hinges positioned spaced-apart in a transverse alignment relative to each other, each hinge of the at least one pair of hinges including an outer leg bracket and an inner leg bracket that are pivotally connected together, such that each outer leg bracket of each hinge of the at least one pair of hinges connects to a side edge of one panel of the at least one pair of panels, and wherein each inner leg bracket connects to a side edge of the other panel;
- wherein each outer leg bracket and each inner leg bracket of the at least one pair of hinges includes an inner side facing each other, and an outer side positioned opposite to each respective inner side, and
- wherein when the at least two panels of the foldable clipboard are moved into a folded position, the inner side of each outer bracket of the at least one pair of hinges moves over at least a portion of each outer side of each inner leg bracket of the at least one pair of the first pair of hinges and the second pair of hinges to provide the folded position.
