  • Patent number: 5758902
    Abstract: An improved clip for a writing board is provided. In accordance with the invention, the clip includes a clip body attached to a writing board. A clip blade is attached to the clip body and includes a binding edge for releasably binding paper against the writing board. The spring is included and is adapted to urge the binding edge against the writing board. In this manner, paper may be releasably gripped by the binding edge to the writing board. A force receiving release tab is disposed opposite the binding edge of the clip blade for receiving manually-applied force. In response to such force, the release tab urges the binding edge away from the writing board to release the paper. A display holder is attached to the clip blade. The display holder defines a substantially planar display area, and further includes a rolled edge for holding a laminate display sheet adjacent the display area.
