ABSTRACT:
A forwardly inclined storage unit is secured behind a rearwardly inclined copyboard so that the two converge. The storage unit provides at least one compartment--for placement of draft pages as they are removed from the copyboard, and preferably, a second compartment for newly typed or computer printed pages. Because of the forward inclination of the storage unit, pages or printed portions of a document dropped sequentially into the compartments lean face down, thereby retaining collation. Preferred embodiments include an elongated planar base the rearward end only of which is secured to the storage unit whereby the copyboard is supported by the storage unit at an elevation spaced well above the forward end of the base in order to provide clearance under the copyboard for placement of rider pages resting on the base; the base is much narrower at its forward end than at its rearward end whereby when the base is positioned with one of its sides in abutment against one end of a desktop computer's keyboard the copyboard partially overlies same and is thereby located comfortably close to the computer's display screen; and the copyboard and base are foldable against the storage unit for compact storage or portability. Alternative one-piece and two-part constructions of the storage unit are disclosed.
