Patent number: 9198490Abstract: The described embodiments provide a modular mobile workstation with storage capacity. The apparatus has a modular shell that can be used for a variety of purposes including, for example, a stool and low table combination, a table and coat-rack combination, and a high table combination. The modular shell encloses a removable inner shell that can be used to store goods while traveling with the unit. In one embodiment, two large wheels cap the respective ends of the shell and allow the apparatus to roll freely behind a user. A multi-use handle is also included with the apparatus. In one embodiment, the handle is collapsible and is secured to the apparatus by a securing scarf, which also serves to hold the interlocking pieces of the outer shell together. The unit is useful for travelers needing a mobile workspace, and prevents the need for additional luggage, as it also provides storage capacity.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2013Date of Patent: December 1, 2015Inventor: Jeff Jenkins
