Clipboard

Abstract

A clipboard includes a main plate having top and bottom faces and lateral sides, and a clip plate of triangular cross section and including a mid-portion provided at one of the lateral sides, top and bottom plate portions extending convergingly from two opposite ends of the mid-portion and having converging distal press ends abutting respectively against the top and bottom faces of the main plate, and two press levers connected pivotally and respectively to the distal press ends of the top and bottom plate portions. A fixing plate has two opposite ends fixed to the bottom face of the main plate, and a middle section between the ends of the fixing plate and pressing the bottom plate portion against the bottom face of the main plate, thereby fixing the bottom plate portion to the main plate.

1 . A clipboard comprising:
 a main plate having top and bottom faces and lateral sides;   a clip plate of triangular cross section including a mid-portion provided at one of said lateral sides, top and bottom plate portions extending convergingly from two opposite ends of said mid-portion and having converging distal press ends abutting respectively against said top and bottom faces of said main plate, and two press levers connected pivotally and respectively to said distal press ends of said top and bottom plate portions; and   a fixing plate having two opposite ends fixed to said bottom face of said main plate, and a middle section between said ends of said fixing plate and pressing said bottom plate portion against said bottom face of said main plate, thereby fixing said bottom plate portion to said main plate.   
     
     
         2 . The clipboard of  claim 1 , wherein said two opposite ends of said fixing plate are riveted to said bottom face of said main plate. 
     
     
         3 . The clipboard of  claim 1 , further comprising a cover plate that covers said top face of said main plate, that is connected pivotally to said one lateral side of said main plate, and that has a cutout portion corresponding to said clip plate so as to expose said clip plate. 
     
     
         4 . The clipboard of  claim 3 , wherein said cover plate has left and right folding parts connected to said one lateral side of said main plate on two sides of said cutout portion. 
     
     
         5 . The clipboard of  claim 1 , wherein said distal press end of each of said top and bottom plate portions has two spaced-apart tubular portions that are aligned axially, each of said press levers having two opposite lever ends inserted pivotally and respectively into said tubular portions of the respective one of said top and bottom plate portions.
