Abstract: A carrying case for transporting an article in an upright condition is described including a deep box having a front wall, a rear wall, a pair of side walls, a bottom, and defining an upwardly opening chamber therein. Advantageously, the case includes a laterally positionable holding apparatus which is secured to the box within the chamber for engagement with the opposite edges of the article and for holding it in spaced relation away from the front and rear walls. The case also includes a handle for carrying it and supporting it as a working surface, and a removable cover that serves as a tray.
