Benefits of technology

[0007]The primary purpose of the preset invention is to overcome the inconveniences of the outdoor activities by providing multi-function portable table structure, which comprise two cases connected to each other in such a way that the cases can be expanded to form a tabletop that can be supported by rotary legs that are concealed inside the cases so as to provide a portable and beautiful table. In addition, the table can be converted into an easel and provides spaces for storage of articles / objects. Thus, the present invention ensures conveniences of outdoor activities.
[0008]To achieve the above object, the present invention comprises two cases in which storage spaces are defined. Bottoms of the two cases are positioned next to each other and are connected together by hinges mounted to adjacent edges of the bottoms so as to allow the cases to be expended. Between adjacent edges of opposite lateral sides of the cases are provided with buckles to releasably secure the cases together. Also, a handle is mounted to the cases for easy hand carrying.
[0009]The cases have opposing surfaces in which cavities are defined. Foldable legs are received in the cavities. In use, the buckles on the opposite lateral sides of the cases are released to open the cases and to expand the foldable leg to form a table for user by a user. Retractable latches are provided at the connection locations between the legs and the cases to retain the legs in position. Further, one case is provided with a storage space in the form of a drawer for easy storage and organization of articles / objects. The other case has a cover that can be flapped to open and is retained in an inclined angle by a support bar received inside the case. This, together with a holder bar that is removably arranged inside the case and is mountable to an outer surface of the cover to serve as a holder or support, can make the cover work like an easel.

Problems solved by technology

Due to the nature of being outdoors, outdoor activities inevitably cause certain inconveniences.
Often, no space is available for painting / sketching tools.
This causes inconvenience for the general consumers to carry the painting / sketching tools.
Further, the easel cannot be positioned horizontal to serve as a tabletop.
This imposes limitation to the use of the conventional devices.
