FOLD-OUT TRAY FOR USE WITH AN ITEM OF LUGGAGE

摘要

Disclosed herein is a fold-out tray for an item of luggage, the fold-out tray comprising a main panel having a work surface, a connector coupled to the main panel to permit the main panel to rotate between a first position in which the work surface is substantially vertical and a second position in which the work surface is substantially horizontal, and a support coupled to the connector. The support, which enables the fold-out tray to be attached to the item of luggage, has a depression into which the main panel fits when the main panel is in the first position. The fold-out tray also has a securing mechanism that is configured to, when engaged, prevent the main panel from rotating into the second position when the main panel is in the first position, and, when disengaged, allow the main panel to rotate into the second position.
