Forearm clipboard

Abstract

A forearm worn support sleeve comprising of small polygon pockets containing several embedded thin neodymium magnet(s). When one of two quasi rectangular apparatuses is combined with said sleeve, together . . . an integral writing structure takes shape. Importantly, the invention (in-part) is one that is steeped in human factors and ergonomic design. The benefits are many, but most notably is the utility provided to pilots. Specifically, the reduction of error by minimizing line-of-sight transition i.e. outward to downward focus, then upward again . . . coupled with an ability to quickly note ATC (air traffic control) departure and approach instructions. In general terms, both the primary (upper) and secondary (lower) apparatuses are planar in nature with rounded dis-similar corners. Ideally, materials may include card stock (chipboard) or plastic. In the latter case, various synthetic thermoplastic resins may include polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, and polystyrene. What's more, the upper and lower apparatuses have a magnetic back surface which enables simple lift away and re-positioning. Both are contoured in form with a somewhat rigid curvature pliable enough to bend. Moreover, a smart watch and/or other electronic devises like an iPod Touch can be integrated for optimum utility and functionality. For example, in one instance is a pilot assist system. There are of course many other like a golf (putting) assist system, doctors-dentist assist system, and/or a military (service-person) assist system. Importantly, these are just a few likely industry applications. In the first example, a tailored mobile software application can be utilized like ForeFlight Mobile or JeppCharts. In the second, Clinometer. The third . . . MyChart for doctors. Lastly, ClipBoard Manager for military individuals.

Thus, having set forth the preferred embodiments, the following is claimed: 
     
         1 . An arm clipboard; wherein a forearm sleeve facilitates the mounting of an overlying writing platform and smart watch thereon, comprising:
 A sheathing that has a compression form fit, light-weight and is fabricated from various material providing a somewhat moisture free environment; and   Small polygon pockets containing magnetic material with a high uniaxial attraction; and   An electronic device that can be secured around the wrist section of said forearm sleeve . . . capable of a link to the Internet as a high-sensitivity receiver; and   an upper clipboard (primary) has a planar apparatus that is ergonomically designed as a writing surface, made of a polymeric material and coupled with a non-permanent marker for reusability, said device back surface has a covalent bond (magnetic) capable of fixedly securing to said sleeve.   
     
     
         3 . A forearm clipboard of  claim 1 ; wherein said planar apparatus is designed with 2 half-moon cut outs on the outer most edge for fixedly securing a first attachment, a portable flashlight. 
     
     
         4 . A forearm clipboard of  claim 3 ; wherein a flashlight is provided with a leash that is attached to the back of said lighting device on one end and the other end through a small aperature in the apparatus. 
     
     
         5 . A forearm clipboard as recited in  claim 4 ; wherein a micro LED is attached to a string-like material (leash) and provides an appropriate illumination in a given enviornment (example: red illumination) which generally corresponds with a specific operation(s) during p.m. hours. 
     
     
         6 . A forearm clipboard as recited in  claim 5 ; wherein a lanyard provides an alternate attachment means for said flashlight and LED. 
     
     
         7 . The forearm clipboard of  claim 1 ; wherein a magnifying glass attachment is adapted in the upper primary apparatus and attached to the writing surface by means of velcro. 
     
     
         8 . The forearm clipboard of  claim 1 ; wherein, a clamp attachment can be secured on the device by means of an aperature. 
     
     
         9 . The forearm clipboard of claim  2 ; wherein, a clasp is provided for securing a plurality of blank paper-note(s), said attachment is capable of adhering to apparatus surface and is adapted by means of an aperature. 
     
     
         10 . The arm clipboard of claim  2 ; wherein the apparatus can be configured and adapted for displaying indicia thereon related to a specific task routinely experienced by pilots, doctors, military servicemen, and golfers. 
     
     
         11 . A lower forearm clipboard (2nd apparatus) wherein a planar writing surface is ergonomically designed for the inner portion of an arm and is made of a material conducive for re-use when a “non permanent” and/or wet erase marker is used. 
     
     
         12 . The forearm clipboard of  claim 11 ; wherein a forearm clipboard is coupled with a non-permanent marker by means of an external attachment material like velcro that is placed on both the marker as well as said apparatus surface. 
     
     
         13 . The forearm clipboard as recited in  claim 11 ; wherein a quasi-rectangular electronic device (example: iPod Touch) is disclosed as an attachment capable of providing an electronic software application specific to an industry function, proximity of the electronic device spans from one's elbow area (longitudinally-outward), and is attached to the lower forearm clipboard by means of velcro. 
     
     
         14 . The forearm clipboard of  claim 11 ; wherein a 2 way communication light acts as a non-verbal alarm mechanism, secured to said apparatus writing platform by a velcro gripping material; said device back surface may also have a magnetic covalent bond to achieve the same purpose. 
     
     
         15 . The forearm clipboard of  claim 14 ; wherein an alternate and/or additional 2 way communication light is secured to a medical providers thumb by using a velcro strap . . . i.e. quadrant closest to the base of the hand below the flexing motion of the upper nail portion of said finger. 
     
     
         16 . The forearm clipboard of  claim 14 ; wherein a momentary push button switch is provided to a patient as a signaling mechanism . . . transmitting a 2 way communication light which alerts a provider with explicit “non-verbal” instructions to “STOP” all patient procedure(s) being performed; hence, improving the interaction and communication between medical or dental provider and patient. 
     
     
         17 . The forearm clipboard of  claim 16 ; wherein a transmitter is used to control a receiver circuit.

         19 . The forearm clipboard of  claim 18 ; wherein an inductor (small “chip-on-board”) forms a frequency determining component(s) while a transmitter generates a carrier frequency that can be used directly to activate or deactivate said receiver by alternately toggling a transmitter. 
     
     
         20 . The forearm clipboard of  claim 19 ; wherein a modulating transmitter(s) is provided as an external frequency in order to double transmitting range.
