Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention seeks to provide improved backpack/bookbag features, equipment, and assemblies.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

A Backpack/bookbag that converts into a workstation/desk via A SINGLE telescopic leg housed on the REAR FACE of the backpack/bookbag. All other patents using a telescopic leg have two or more legs, most commonly, four legs. My advanced backpack/bookbag only has one telescopic (extendable and retractable) leg that can be extended out to reach over three feet in height, complete with a chair for sitting and other features.
Travelers and commuters have long used backpacks/bookbags to carry various items. Students use backpack/bookbags to carry their school books and supplies, while hikers utilize backpacks/bookbags for housing their hiking supplies. However, backpack/bookbags have been limited in their usage to simply being a carrying case and housing unit. All this will change as the advanced backpack/bookbag can transform into a workable desk where students can now do their school assignments on their front steps, back porch, at a park sitting, on the subway, or at a coffee shop with a chair for sitting. Hikers can use their advanced backpack/bookbag to set up a dining table with a chair on a mountain top. NO OTHER backpack/bookbag has either Single telescopic leg support or a chair, whereas our advanced backpack/bookbag features both.
The advanced backpack/bookbag also has two USB ports where users can charge their phones and other electronic devices simultaneously. The advanced “smart” backpack/bookbag features a rechargeable battery to power the USB port, a cup holder for beverages, a voice-activated-digital assistant application, a phone holder for hand-free working, a portable chair for sitting, a desktop surface that can extend out to create a larger desktop surface, a Bluetooth speaker mounted on the telescopic leg to play music and for phone calls, wheels on the base of the telescopic leg for easy transportation while using the backpack/bookbag as a desk, wheels on the bottom of the backpack/bookbag for easy traveling and a tablet computer for video conference, watching movies and any other usage of a Tablet computer all of which, including a backpack/bookbag having a SINGLE telescopic leg, is not readily available on conventional backpack/bookbags. The use of combination backpack/bookbags and a hard surface work table/desk with a SINGLE telescopic leg is not known in the other patents, specifically, combination backpack/bookbag and desktop with a single telescopic leg.
The use of combination backpack/bookbag and workstation/desk is known in the other patents. More specifically, combination backpack/bookbag and work table heretofore devised and utilized are known to consist basically of familiar, expected, and apparent structural configuration, notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the prior art developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements.
Known prior arts includes U.S. Pat. No. 7,593,222B2; U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,856,627; 6,068,355; 4,790,416; 5,242,218; 4,244,632; U.S. Pat. No. Des. 394,954; U.S. Pat. No. 6,811,006B1; U.S. Pat. No. 2010/0124013 A1; U.S. Pat. No. 2002/0057552 A1; and U.S. patent Ser. No. 00/759,3222B2.
While these devices fulfill their respective particular objective and requirements, the patents mentioned above do not disclose a new backpack/bookbag with a SINGLE telescopic leg, a portable chair, Bluetooth speakers, and a Tablet computer, amongst other things. Prior art stopped solely as a housing unit for books and supplies. At the same time, mine advanced it by becoming a combination backpack/bookbag and workstation/desk via a single telescopic leg.
