Briefcase table assembly

Abstract

A briefcase table assembly includes a briefcase which comprises a case portion and a lid portion. A handle is movably coupled to the lid portion for carrying the briefcase. A pair of closures is each movably coupled to the lid portion to releasably engage the case portion for retaining the lid portion in a closed position. A plurality of legs is each pivotally coupled to the case portion. Each of the legs is positionable in a stored position having each of the legs being recessed in the case portion. Each of the legs is positionable in a deployed position has each of the legs extending downwardly from the case portion for supporting the briefcase above a support surface. In this way the briefcase can be employed as a table.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A briefcase table assembly being convertible between a briefcase and a table, said assembly comprising:
 a briefcase comprising a case portion and a lid portion being hingedly coupled to said case portion for opening and closing said case portion, said case portion having a plurality of recesses each being integrated into said case portion;   a handle being movably coupled to said lid portion for carrying said briefcase;   a pair of closures, each of said closures being movably coupled to said lid portion, each of said closures releasably engaging said case portion when said lid portion is closed for retaining said lid portion in a closed position; and   a plurality of legs, each of said legs being pivotally coupled to said case portion, each of said legs being positionable in a stored position having each of said legs being positioned in a respective one of said recesses in said case portion, each of said legs being positionable in a deployed position having each of said legs extending downwardly from said case portion for supporting said briefcase above a support surface thereby facilitating said lid portion to define a work surface wherein said briefcase is configured to facilitate a user to employ said briefcase as a table.   
     
     
         2 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 said case portion has a bottom wall and an outer wall extending upwardly from said bottom wall, said outer wall having a front side, a back side, a first lateral side, a second lateral side and a distal edge with respect to said bottom wall;   each of said recesses is each recessed into said bottom wall, each of said recesses being elongated, each of said recesses being oriented to extend along a respective one of said front side, said back side, said first lateral side and said second lateral side, each of said recesses having a bounding surface;   said lid portion has a perimeter wall, said perimeter wall having a forward side, a rear side and a lower edge, said lower edge corresponding to said rear side being hingedly coupled to said distal edge of said case portion corresponding to said back side of said outer wall.   
     
     
         3 . The assembly according to  claim 2 , wherein:
 said handle has a central member extending between a pair of outward members, each of said outward members having distal end being hingedly coupled to said forward side of said perimeter wall of said lid portion wherein said central member is configured to be gripped; and   each of said closures is disposed on said forward side of said outer wall of said lid portion, each of said closures engaging said front side of said of said outer wall of said case portion when said lid portion is closed and said closures are positioned in an engaging position for inhibiting said lid portion from being opened.   
     
     
         4 . The assembly according to  claim 2 , each of said legs has an upper end and a lower end, said upper being of each of said legs being pivotally coupled to said bounding surface of said respective recess. 
     
     
         5 . The assembly according to  claim 4 , wherein:
 each of said legs comprises a first portion which slidably receives a second portion such that each of said legs has a telescopically adjustable length;   said first portion of each of said legs has a hole extending through said first portion; and   said second portion of each of said legs has a lock being movably integrated into said second portion, said lock on said second portion of a respective one of said legs engaging said hole in said first portion of said respective leg when said respective leg is positioned in said deployed position for retaining said respective leg at a maximum length.   
     
     
         6 . The assembly according to  claim 4 , wherein a plurality of feet, each of said feet being coupled to said lower end of a respective one of said legs, each of said feet being comprised of a resiliently compressible material wherein each of said legs is configured to frictionally engage the support surface to inhibit said legs from slid portioning on the support surface. 
     
     
         7 . A briefcase table assembly being convertible between a briefcase and a table, said assembly comprising:
 a briefcase comprising a case portion and a lid portion being hingedly coupled to said case portion for opening and closing said case portion, said case portion having a plurality of recesses each being integrated into said case portion, said case portion having a bottom wall and an outer wall extending upwardly from said bottom wall, said outer wall having a front side, a back side, a first lateral side, a second lateral side and a distal edge with respect to said bottom wall, each of said recesses each being recessed into said bottom wall, each of said recesses being elongated, each of said recesses being oriented to extend along a respective one of said front side, said back side, said first lateral side and said second lateral side, each of said recesses having a bounding surface, said lid portion having a perimeter wall, said perimeter wall having a forward side, a rear side and a lower edge, said lower edge corresponding to said rear side being hingedly coupled to said distal edge of said case portion corresponding to said back side of said outer wall;   a handle being movably coupled to said lid portion for carrying said briefcase, said handle having a central member extending between a pair of outward members, each of said outward members having distal end being hingedly coupled to said forward side of said perimeter wall of said lid portion wherein said central member is configured to be gripped;   a pair of closures, each of said closures being movably coupled to said lid portion, each of said closures releasably engaging said case portion when said lid portion is closed for retaining said lid portion in a closed position, each of said closures being disposed on said forward side of said outer wall of said lid portion, each of said closures engaging said front side of said of said outer wall of said case portion when said lid portion is closed and said closures are positioned in an engaging position for inhibiting said lid portion from being opened;   a plurality of legs, each of said legs being pivotally coupled to said case portion, each of said legs being positionable in a stored position having each of said legs being positioned in a respective one of said recesses in said case portion, each of said legs being positionable in a deployed position having each of said legs extending downwardly from said case portion for supporting said briefcase above a support surface thereby facilitating said lid portion to define a work surface to facilitate said briefcase to be employed as a table, each of said legs having an upper end and a lower end, said upper being of each of said legs being pivotally coupled to said bounding surface of said respective recess, each of said legs comprising a first portion which slidably receives a second portion such that each of said legs has a telescopically adjustable length, said first portion of each of said legs having a hole extending through said first portion, said second portion of each of said legs having a lock being movably integrated into said second portion, said lock on said second portion of a respective one of said legs engaging said hole in said first portion of said respective leg when said respective leg is positioned in said deployed position for retaining said respective leg at a maximum length; and   a plurality of feet, each of said feet being coupled to said lower end of a respective one of said legs, each of said feet being comprised of a resiliently compressible material wherein each of said legs is configured to frictionally engage the support surface to inhibit said legs from slid portioning on the support surface.
