- a board having front and back smooth usable writing surfaces on the front and rear sides thereof,
- clip means mounted to one end of the board and including a first spring loaded bar for clamping interposed materials to the board on the front side thereof,
- means for affixing the spring loaded bar in a stable position when open including a support bar terminated at its ends by a pair of arms extending away therefrom and rotatably attached to said spring loaded bar,
- means forming at least one groove extending underneath said spring loaded bar so that, when the support bar is rotated about the spring loaded bar and positioned in the groove means, it is captured therein by the return force of the spring loaded bar and supports the spring loaded bar in an open, extended and stable position to form therewith a rigid structure extending away from the board or said front side so that the clip board can be laid on a table on its front side supported by the extended bars in an inclined position for use as a portable desk.
