Abstract
A clipboard adapted for multi-functional use is disclosed. The clipboard includes a pair of panel-like members which are releasably joined to one another to form an assembly. The panel-like members are separable one from another whereby a sheet of paper having information printed thereon may be inserted between the panel members to be interposed therebetween. One or both of the panel members is fabricated from a transparent material which permits the user to view the information on the sheet of paper through the panel member itself. A conventional clip assembly is mounted on one or both of the panels to releasably retain a sheet of paper atop one of the panels whereby the user may either read or write on the paper utilizing the underlying panel as a writing surface.
Claims18
A display board comprising:
- a first planar panel having a first end and a second end, said first planar panel being transparent;
- a second planar panel, having a first end and a second end;
- connection means for detachably connecting said first end of said first planar panel to said first end of said second planar panel, said connection means positioning said first planar panel in parallel with said second planar panel, said planar panels being detachably held in abutment one against another;
- wherein a sheet having a first face and a second face interposed between said planar panels is removably retained therebetween by said connection means operating on said planar panels to abut said first planar panel against the entire surface of said first face and to abut said second planar panel against the entire surface of said second face, said sheet being visible through said first planar panel.
