Abstract: A clipboard the clip of which is configured as a housing with a lid that is selectively movable between a closed position, in which the lid prevents access to an object stored in the housing, and an open position in which the lid allows the stored object to be accessed. The clipboard also features an assembly for pivotally mounting the clip to the board. The mounting assembly includes at least one post integrally formed with the board, and at least one clasp disposed on the clip and constructed to resiliently grasp a portion of the post and permit the clip to pivot thereabout. A frame is supported by the board and has dimensions selected to receive an object for display to a user. A transparent plate retains the object within the frame and is removable to allow the object to be replaced. The clipboard also includes one or more members for removably attaching a writing implement (such as a pen or a pencil) to the board.

Abstract: A paper article dispenser including a housing for storing a stack of paper articles therein and a mechanism (such as a leaf spring) for urging the stack toward an opening in the housing to facilitate removal of one of the paper articles through the opening. The spring is configured and positioned to lie substantially flat within the housing when the spring is fully compressed. In another aspect, the base of the housing is constructed with integral, resilient members that bias the stack toward the opening.
