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.
Claims20
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 one edge of each of the at least two folding panels is positioned next to another edge of each of the at least two folding panels to abut to provide a planar expanded position;
- at least one plurality of hinge assemblies, each hinge of the plurality of hinge assemblies positioned in a transverse alignment relative to each other, a portion of the hinges of the at least one plurality of hinge assemblies carried along the one edge of one of the at least two folding panels, and another portion of the hinges of the at least one plurality of hinge assemblies carried along the other edge of the other of the at least two folding panels to pivotally connect together the at least two folding panels,
- wherein each hinge of the at least one plurality of hinge assemblies is substantially cylindrical and includes a stop to provide a first plurality of stops, and wherein another stop is formed adjacent each hinge on each edge of the at least first and second folding panels between each hinge of the at least one plurality of hinges to provide a second plurality of stops, such that when the at least first and second folding panels are moved into the expanded position, one stop of the plurality of first stops provided with each hinge abuts one stop of the second plurality of stops formed along each edge, respectively, to form the expanded position, and
- wherein when the at least two panels of the foldable clipboard are moved from the expanded position into a folded position, each stop of the first plurality of stops moves away from each stop of the second plurality of stops so that the at least first and second folding panels move into an overlapped relative to each other to provide a folded position.
