Abstract: A clipboard includes a first support surface, a retainer adjacent the first support surface, a first receptacle coupled to the first support surface, and a lid. The retainer is configured to hold objects adjacent to the first support surface. The first receptacle has a first opening. The lid is movable between a closed position in which the first opening is covered and an open position in which the first opening is uncovered. The lid is configured to move between the closed position and the open position while the support surface remains stationary.

Abstract: The invention features dispensers for applying a material, e.g., a tape, to a surface. For example, the invention features a dispenser for applying a material to a surface, including a housing, at least a major portion of which is substantially cylindrical; within the housing, a supply spool rotatable about an axis and a quantity of material stored on the supply spool in a plurality of widths wide; and, at one end of the housing, an applicator head about which the material is passed, the head being constructed to press the material against the surface, the head having an edge, over which the material passes, that is disposed at an angle of greater than 5 degrees relative to a plane that is perpendicular to the longitudinal center axis of the housing.
