Drawing board assembly

Claim 1

A drawing board assembly comprising: a base, said base having a fore edge and an aft edge and an upper surface and a lower surface, said lower surface adapted to be located upon a planar supportive surface, said upper surface including stop means; a backing board having a front side and a back side, said back side being hingedly connected to said upper surface at said fore edge, said front side including pivot means; brace means connected to said back side of said backing board, said brace means to releasably engage with said stop means causing said backing board to assume an inclined position relative to said base, when said drawing board assembly is to not be in use said brace means is to be disengaged from said stop means permitting said backing board to be parallel and directly adjacent said base; a drawing board having a front side and a back side, said front side being adapted to function as an operating surface, a pivot pin centrally mounted on said back side, said pivot pin adapted to releasably connect with said pivot means permitting pivoting of said drawing board relative to said backing board solely upon application of sufficient manual force; and said pivot means comprising a plurality of separate pivoting points, said pivot pin being capable of connecting with any one of said pivoting points thereby adjusting the location of said drawing board in respect to said backing board, each said pivoting point being formed by a transverse slot with there being a plurality of said transverse slots located in a spaced apart manner, each said transverse slot having an open upper end and a closed lower end, said closed lower end of each said transverse slot being located nearer said base than its respective said upper end when said backing board is in said inclined position relative to said base, said upper ends being connected together by an elongated slot, a pivoting point being when said pivot pin is located directly adjacent a said closed lower end.
