Patent Application
20120091308
The present invention relates to the field of clipboards, and more particularly to the field of two-clip double sided clipboards.
In one embodiment the invention is a two clip double sided clipboard comprising a board with two flat surfaces; two clips, wherein each of the two clips is positioned on different flat surfaces of the two flat surfaces of the clipboard, and wherein each of the two clips comprises a wire; and two pads attached to each side of the wire at points in which the two pads rest on the board.
In a further embodiment of the invention a two clip double sided clipboard comprises a board; and two clips configured to clamp both sides of the board, wherein the two clips are permanently attached to the board.
In a further embodiment of the invention, a method comprises creating a two clip double sided clipboard, wherein each of two clips are positioned on each of the two flat surfaces of the clipboard; using the two clip double sided clipboard for writing, wherein both sides of the clipboard are used as a background for writing; clamping paper simultaneously onto both sides of the clipboard using the two clips.
The following description is not intended to limit the scope of the invention, but to generally illustrate the invention.
Clipboards are used for writing when a desk is not available. However, the clipboards available are one-sided with clamping ability on only one side. Therefore, the present invention improves on the presently available clipboards.
Business persons including attorneys may use many clipboards in their offices and in court. The two clips would allow for confidential papers to be on the other side or notes that have already been addressed sent to the other side. Similar use may be done at doctor offices, hospitals, home care agencies, or other offices.
Steel workers may have two clipboards tied and hanging from their necks. A two clip two sided clipboard would allow them to clip the board to a piece of steel. Construction workers can attach one side of the clipboard to the inside or outside of a van or truck window.
General office workers when making copies of papers can have originals on one side and copies on the other side. The general public and students would benefit if filling out a questionnaire or taking tests to clip finished paper on the backside.
Various types of sports, industries, law enforcement, news organizations, students, the general public, all offices, and all working environments would benefit due to decreasing the number of clipboards they may need while increasing the ability of the clipboard to hold double the papers.
In a further embodiment of the invention, the two clip double sided clipboard 200 may have a different style clip on either side of the clipboard 200, that may include square clips, circular clips, or other clip designs. In a further embodiment of the invention, the two clip double sided clipboard 200 may have a clip with a different style on each of the two sides of the clipboard 200. In a further embodiment of the invention, the invention may have no pads on the clips 215,220. In a further embodiment of the invention, the clips 215,220 may have either a single pad or more than two pads of various designs on each side of the clipboard 200. In a further embodiment of the invention, the clips 215,220 and the clipboard 200 may be of various colors. In a further embodiment of the invention, the clips 215,220 may have a different color on each side of the clipboard 200. In a further embodiment of the invention, the two clips 215,220 may be part of a single piece, with the two clips 215,220 affixed to opposite flat surfaces of the clipboard 200, but the two clips 215,220 attached to each other as a single piece.
The invention may be made of any suitable material including but not limited to, wood products, metal products, plastic products and other natural or human made materials.
The above description may be modified without departing from the scope of the claims below.
