A clipboard may be assembled from a backboard and a clip assembly by sliding the clip assembly onto the top edge of the backboard. The clip assembly and the backboard are shaped so that the clipboard assembly has a substantially continuous contour along its top edge. Specifically, the top edge of the backboard is spaced away from the remainder of the top edge in the area where the clip assembly is attached. The amount of spacing away corresponds to the thickness of a lip that depends from the clip assembly and engages the top edge or the backboard in the area where the clip assembly is attached. The clip assembly is retained on the backboard by flanged rails that engage slots in the backboard and by ramped projections that engage detents and the backboard.

An ice scraper includes a body, as well as a sleeve that can be mounted on the body in either of two orientations. The sleeve can be mounted in either orientation at will, but is locked once mounted. The sleeve has opposing holes in its upper and lower surfaces which together serve as a hanger hole for retail display. A locking tab on the body engages the edge of one of those holes, depending on the selected orientation, to lock the sleeve in place, but does not interfere with mounting of the sleeve.
