Abstract
A clipboard includes a first support surface, a retainer adjacent the first support surface, a first receptacle coupled to the first support surface, and a lid. The retainer is configured to hold objects adjacent to the first support surface. The first receptacle has a first opening. The lid is movable between a closed position in which the first opening is covered and an open position in which the first opening is uncovered. The lid is configured to move between the closed position and the open position while the support surface remains stationary.

A clipboard comprising:
- a base, the base having a backside, two side walls, and two end walls defining a storage space, the base further including an internal partition dividing the storage space into first and second receptacles;
- a first lid movably connected to the base and adapted to cover the first receptacle, the first lid including a top surface;
- a second lid movably connected to the base at the partition, the second lid adapted to cover the second receptacle;
- and
- a clip rotatable mounted to the first lid top surface.
A clipboard comprising:
- a first support surface;
- a retainer adjacent to the first support surface, wherein the retainer is proximate a first end of the first support surface and wherein the retainer is configured to hold objects adjacent to the first support surface;
- a first receptacle coupled to the first support surface, the first receptacle having a first opening, wherein the first receptacle is proximate a second opposite end of the first support surface, and
- a lid movable between a closed position in which the first lid is covered and an open position in which the first opening is uncovered, wherein the lid is configured to move between the closed position and the open position while the support surface remains stationary.
A clipboard comprising:
- a first support surface;
- a member having a first side providing the first support surface and a second opposite side;
- at least one pocket carried by the member on the second side
- a retainer adjacent to the first support surface, wherein the retainer is configured to hold objects adjacent to the first surface;
- a first receptacle coupled to the first support surface, the first receptacle having a first opening;
- and
- a lid movable between a closed position in which the first lid is covered and an open position in which the first opening is uncovered, wherein the lid is configured to move between the closed position and the open position while the support surface remains stationary.
A clipboard having a major dimension terminating at first and second ends and a minor dimension terminating at first and second sides, clipboard comprising:
- a first support surface;
- a retainer adjacent the first end wherein the retainer is configured to hold objects adjacent to the first support surface;
- and
- a first receptacle adjacent to the second end pivotally supported for pivotal movement about a first pivot axis extending intermediate at least one of the first and second sides and the first and second ends.
A clipboard comprising:
- a first receptacle having internal dimensions of at least about 8.5 inches by 11.0 inches and defining a first opening;
- a second receptacle beside the first receptacle having a second opening;
- a first cover proximate the first receptacle and having a major dimension and a minor dimension, the first cover pivotable relative to the first receptacle about a first axis parallel to the major dimension;
- and
- a second cover proximate and pivotable relative to the second receptacle, wherein at least one of the first cover and the second cover include a substantially planar support surface, wherein at least one of the first cover and the first receptacle are configured to move relative to one another between a first opening covered position and a first opening closed position, and wherein at least one of the second cover and the second receptacle are configured to move relative to one another between a second opening covered position and a second opening closed position.
A clipboard having a major dimension extending along a first major axis and a minor dimension extending along a second minor axis, clipboard comprising:
- a top member providing a first support surface;
- a retainer adjacent to the first support surface, wherein the retainer is configured to hold objects adjacent to the first support surface;
- and
- a receptacle slidably supported relative to the first support surface for movement in a direction parallel to the second minor axis between a covered position in which the first receptacle extends below the first support surface and an uncovered position.
