  • Patent number: 4997088
    Abstract: A protective cover for a clip board which permits use of the clip board for writing during inclement weather. The cover is transparent and attaches to the side edges and rear edge of the clip board by means of U-shaped clamps having adjustable thumb screws. A top panel, left panel, right panel and rear panel form a box-like structure over the clip board leaving an opening at the front for access to the writing surface of the clip board. The left panel and right panel are hinged to the front panel in such a way as to allow these side panels to fold flat atop the front panel. Similarly, the rear panel is hinged to the top panel so as to permit the rear panel to fold flat under the top panel when removed from the clip board. Thus, this protective cover is collapsible and portable yet can be quickly assembled and attached to a clip board in case of bad weather out in the field. Sizes for legal or letter size clip boards would be available.
