Abstract

See full text

A portable utility surface appliance disposed on a top surface of a personal articles container engaging upright handles usually used for rolling the container (luggage) behind the traveler. An arrangement of attachments, cantilevers, and resilient leveling regions transform the uneven top-handled surface of the suitcase into a flush, substantially level working surface upon which personal articles, beverages, and electronic devices may be placed. The portable rigid utility surface appliance includes a utility surface adapted to bear on a personal articles container in a substantially horizontal position, a crossmember attached to the utility surface and adapted to extend between parallel uprights extending from the personal articles container, and a pair of opposed, elongated protrusions extending from the crossmember and adapted for simultaneous engagement with the uprights. The appliance further includes a leveling region on underside of the utility surface, to engage an uneven bearing surface on top of the luggage.
