A book of worksheets is clamped between the front and backside boards below the roof member. A hook for hanging the clipboard is centrally fixed in the roof member and having means t orient the clamped worksheets in two alternative different vertical planes perpendicular to each other. A pair of bosses centrally mounted in the backside board and each having at a front end thereof a downwardly inclined end face for engagement with a pair of apertures formed in the front board through a pair of holes in an upper margin of each worksheet clamped.
A clipboard for holding sheets of instructions comprising a main body that is formed by bending a flat rectangular plastic material longitudinally into a structure of largely inversed U-shaped cross-section having a vertically extending front board, vertically extending backside board that is larger in length than and facing opposite the front board and a horizontal top roof member interposed between the parallel front and backside board, and a horizontal top portion between the front and backside board, the front and backside boards being adapted in combination to releasably clamp a bunch of identical worksheets therebetween, and a hook centrally mounted in the top roof member and adapted to hang the clipboard, the hook having means to orient the clipboard in two alternative vertical planes perpendicular to each other whereby the clamped worksheets held beneath the horizontal roof member can be selectively faced in either of two directions, and a pair of engaging pins planted in an upper center portion of the backside board and each having a forward end thereof adapted for engagement with a pair of apertures bored in the front board, at locations just opposite the paired engaging pins, the paired engaging pins being adapted to elastically buldge out the worksheets around the aperture, and penetrate a pair of holes centrally formed in an upper margin part of each worksheet clamped, when the worksheets are inserted into position in the main body.
