Abstract
Disclosed herein is a travel case having a deployable and retractable tray table assembly mounted to the back of the housing. The tray table is hinged to an extension member slidably disposed in a pocket within the compartment. The tray table is stowed within and completely contained by the compartment when not deployed. By unzipping the compartment and sliding the tray table and extension member upwardly, the tray table can be pivoted upwardly to a support position. In the support position, the tray table can rest upon the top of the case and the extension member can be locked in place so that it cannot slide downward. The compartment can be closed up around the extension member when the tray table is deployed.
