ABSTRACT:
The swiveling automotive kneeboard has a base, a writing plate, a memo pad clip, and an elastic strap with hook and loop fastening material. The base has a substantially flat, planar top surface and a concave bottom surface reinforced with ribs. The writing plate is flat and planar on both top and bottom surfaces. The writing plate is pivotally attached to the base so that the writing plate may swivel 360.degree. in a plane parallel to the base. A memo pad clip is attached to the writing plate for holding a pad of memo paper. A hook which pivots 360.degree. about an axis parallel to and concentric with its stem is pivotally attached to the end of the memo pad clip, the hook being used to store the kneeboard on the steering wheel when not in use. The strap is used to secure the kneeboard to the user's thigh. The base includes a hinge so that the width of the base may be adjusted to the size of the user's thigh. The kneeboard is made from a lightweight, thermoplastic material.
