BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Travelers and commuters have long used backpacks aka book bags to carry a variety of items. Students use backpacks to carry their school books and supplies while hikers utilize backpacks for carrying and housing their hiking supplies. However backpacks have been limited in their usage to simply being a carrying and housing unit. All this will change as the Advanced Backpack 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 a park bench, on the subway or at a coffee shop. Hikers can use their Advanced Backpack to set up a dining table on a mountain top. Users' can now charge their phones and other electronic devices from the Advanced Backpack that has TWO USB charging port and a cup holder all which is NOT readily available on conventional backpacks as the use of combination backpacks and a hard surface work table/desk is NOT known in the other patents more specifically, combination backpack and student desk top.
The use of combination backpack and work table is known in the other patens more specifically, combination backpack and work table heretofore devised and utilized are known to consist basically of familiar, expected and obvious structural configuration, notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the crowed prior art which have been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements.
Known prior arts includes U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,593,222 B2; 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. 6,811,006 B1; U.S. Pat. No. 2010/0124013 A1; U.S. Pat. No. 2002/0057552 A1; and U.S. Pat. No. 007593222 B2.
While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objective and requirements, the aforementioned patents do not disclosed a new backpack with a student desktop with adjustable legs, extended hard surface desk top, two PORTABLE USB charging port, anti-theft device, a pencil holder on top of student desk and a cup holder. Prior art stopped at solely being a housing unit for books and supplies while mine advanced it by becoming a combination backpack and work table with a desktop with adjustable legs, extended desk top, PORTABLE USB charging port, anti-theft unit, a pencil holder and a cup holder.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The Portable Desk Backpack will serve as a regular Backpack while also having the ability to transform into a sturdy student desk when all four legs on all four sides of The Portable Desk Backpack are used. The legs on the Backpack will be adjustable to reach different heights to suite each customer comfortably. The base of each leg will have a secure circular base to ensure sturdiness and stability on any and all surface. The Portable Desk Backpack will also have a retractable desk table that can slide out on each side to extend the size of the desk to suite customers comfortably. The Portable Desk Backpack will have a comfortable neck and waist harness so The Portable Desk Backpack can be used by a customer standing up and the desk will remain stable and sturdy. The Portable Desk Backpack will have a two PORTABLE USB charging station so customers can charge their cell phones and other electrical dives as well as a cup holder, anti theft device and the desk top will have a pencil holder. The Portable Desk will also have a shoulder and waist harness so the portable desk can be used while standing.
The dimensions of The Portable Desk Backpack as it relates to its length and width will be 17 in. and 19 in. respectively and can be extended out via a retractable right and left sidewalls to 23 in. and 25 in in length and width. The bottoms of the backpack's arm/shoulder straps are detachable whereas the straps won't interfere with the usage of the desktop.
The Portable Desk Backpack has 5 compartments and a desk top base;
Compartment #1 is the smallest size compartment made of material used to house pens, pencils, small note pads, make-up and a calculator. Compartment #2 is a medium size compartment made of waterproof material and is used to house the charging station and the charging port. It can house small items such as cell phones and keys. Compartment #3 is a lager compartment of the backpack which can be used to house notebook pads and folders.
Compartment #4 is a larger and wider compartment than compartment #3 which can be used to house a number of large books. Compartment #5 has a 360 degree zipper so it can completely detach itself from the Base. Once detached from the base, Compartment #5 allows the customer to separate the backpack completely from the desk/table for easier comfort when working on the work desk. But the customer doesn't have to completely detach the Compartment #4 from the base to utilize the desk top.
The desktop base—The base is the compartment that rest on the customer's back and will have the arm/shoulder straps and where the adjustable table legs are housed. This compartment will be made of material on the outside but made of standards hard “Desk top” material on the inside. This compartment will house the retractable table top for the expansion of the Potable Desk work station.
