Device and related method for supporting a writing surface adapted to receive written information, the device comprising a base portion comprising a substantially planar surface which includes a writing surface and a clip portion attached to the base portion for securing the device onto a substrate, wherein the base and clip portions are angled relative to one another in a range of from about 0° to about 180°.
Claims14
A device for recording notations comprising:
- a base comprising first and second ends and first and second opposing sides wherein the first side comprises a substantially planar writing surface;
- a U-shaped clip comprising an open end and a closed end for attaching the device onto an article of clothing;
- a hinge intermediate the closed end of the U-shaped clip and a first end of the base which permits the base to pivot upward relative to the clip from a retracted position into an extended position;
- and
- a support located between the second side of the base and an outer surface of the clip and attached to the second side of the base,
- wherein the support maintains an angled relationship between the base and the clip when the base is in an extended position and pressure is applied onto the writing surface, and
- wherein the angle between the base and the clip when the base is in an extended position ranges from about 15° to about 110°.
