Abstract
A combination attache case and traveling desk includes a working desk top compartment which is formed immediately subjacent the largest wall of a case lid and is separate and distinct from the large central storage compartment forming the remainder of the attache case. The attache case includes hingedly connected box-like hollow base and lid members. In the improvement of the invention, when the case is in horizontal upright position, the upper or lid member includes a substantially flat horizontal wall defining the boundry between the major inner attache case compartment and the desk top compartment which is positioned subjacent the top peripheral edge of the lid. A substantially flat desk top compartment cover is hingedly retained on the rear of the lid and is sized to close flush with the upper peripheral border of the lid. The horizontal wall, peripheral border, and cover define a shallow compartment in which a writing paper tablet, documents and other writing or reading paraphernalia may be stored. The cover includes means for being maintained in a vertical position during use of the desk top compartment, and means for retaining documents on the inner surface thereof.
