Abstract
A versatile backpack is disclosed, capable of transforming into a laptop stand. The backpack features a rigid structure comprising a bottom panel, two side panels, a front panel, and a back panel with a pivotable top section. A soft top panel encloses the interior volume of the backpack with a closeable opening. Shoulder straps allow for comfortable wear. The top back panel can fold down to meet the side panels, creating a rigid box structure suitable for supporting a laptop. This innovative design provides a convenient and portable solution for users needing both a backpack and a laptop stand in one compact unit.

A backpack that converts into a laptop stand, the backpack comprising:
- a rigid bottom panel;
- a first rigid side panel attached to the rigid bottom panel;
- a second rigid side panel attached to the rigid bottom panel opposite the first rigid side panel;
- a rigid front panel attached to the rigid bottom panel, the first rigid side panel, and the second rigid side panel;
- a rigid back panel comprising:
- a rigid bottom back panel attached to the rigid bottom panel, the first rigid side panel, and the second rigid side panel opposite the rigid front panel;
- and
- a top rigid back panel pivotably attached to the rigid bottom back panel and configured to fold down in one direction;
- wherein the attached rigid bottom, first rigid side panel side, second rigid side panel, rigid front panel, and rigid back panel define an interior volume of the backpack,
- a soft top panel attached to the rigid front panel, the first and second rigid side panel and the rigid back panel opposite the rigid bottom panel enclosing the interior volume of the backpack and having a closeable opening into the interior volume;
- and
- a pair of shoulder straps attached to and extending between the top rigid back panel and the first and second rigid side panels in proximity to the rigid bottom panel and configured to allow the backpack to be worn by a user;
- wherein the top rigid back panel is configured to fold down over the soft top panel and the interior volume of the backpack to meet with the side panels forming a rigid box for supporting a laptop.
