Carrying case for mobile office
First Claim
1. A carrying case for a mobile office including at least two interconnected electronic devices (such as a laptop and a printer), the carrying case including a rectangular frame with a bottom, two sides, and a top, for holding and transporting the electronic devices from place to place, and which carrying case may be opened at a place for use of the one or more devices, characterised in that a first support tray is outwardly rotatable in a first direction from a carrying position within the frame to a first limited extent of 90 degrees of rotation about a first pivotable mount mounted parallel to and along the bottom of the frame;
- a second support tray is outwardly rotatable from a carrying position within the frame in a second, opposing direction through a second limited extent of 270 degrees of rotation about a second pivotable mount parallel to and adjacent to the top of the frame, so that the weight of a first device held in the first tray tends to counterbalance the weight of a second device held in the second tray, so that the opened-up carrying case presents the one or more devices for use in a stable configuration.

Abstract
This invention relates to a briefcase or carrying case for a mobile office, holding a number of interconnected electronic devices (laptop computer, printer, and the like) which may be opened up for immediate use of the devices. A rectangular rigid frame comprises the foundation and ancillary items are fastened to the frame. An enclosing cover having a zipper is also attached to the frame. Shock-absorbing foam and straps are included. An optional wheeled caddie can support the frame using coupling blocks on each side of the frame.
When in use, the laptop extends forward from the frame in a low flat position. The printer, held on a second hinged tray, is flipped backwards by 270 degrees over the top of the frame, so that the weight of the printer and the weight of the laptop tend to counterbalance each other and the carrying case is stable.
