Abstract
A clipboard arrangement includes a planar base member having a raised peripheral rim and a suction cup mounting plate hingedly mounted to a top edge of the base member. A removable clipboard assembly is selectively mounted to the planar base member and has a clamp plate at its upper edge for mounting a writing pad upon the clipboard. A bottom bracket extends outwardly from the base member to cradle and hold the clipboard bottom edge and a tang and slot juncture extends between the clipboard and the planar base member toward upper portions of the clipboard and base member so that a clipboard can be easily lifted slightly upwardly and then outwardly from the base member for carrying. Use of the clipboard arrangement permits the user to semi-permanently mount the planar base member to a suitable surface within a vehicle, such as a windshield or dashboard and then to easily remove the clipboard when going about his or her business, such as shopping or running errands.
