A convertible briefcase, which has a first operative orientation in which it functions as a briefcase, and a second operative orientation in which it functions as a workstation. In a carrying, or briefcase, operative orientation, a lower surface of the briefcase is disposed substantially parallel to an upper surface of the briefcase, and is attached to a lower frame portion. In this operative orientation, a plurality of extendable support structures are in a folded mode and are disposed within a lower compartment of the briefcase. In a converted, workstation operative orientation, the lower surface is at least partially detached from the lower frame portion to expose the extendable support structures. The extendable support structures are in an extended mode perpendicularly away from the briefcase, to support the briefcase on a support surface, such as a floor or any other base surface.

A case for an optical instrument is provided. The case has a body with a bottom and two pairs of oppositely disposed side walls connected to the body forming a cavity. The case also includes a lid having a top cover and two pairs of oppositely disposed side portions, each of which corresponds with and overlaps a corresponding side wall of the body when the lid is in a closed position. A first pair of the two pairs of side walls each includes an elastic chord which connects the given side wall to the corresponding side portion of the lid.

A lid stay formed from a housing slidably coupled to a base. The housing has a coupler section for securing said housing to a fixed object, and a connector section for securing the housing to the base. The base is formed from a cylindrical shaped tube defining an interior chamber, having an insertion section constructed and arranged to slidably receive said housing, but prevent the connector section of the housing from passing therethrough. An expanded coil spring is positioned within the interior chamber to maintain the housing and base in an expanded position. The lid stay is for use with a storage container base having a lid pivotally attached thereto. The lid stay biases the lid in an open position and provides resistance when closing the lid.

A luggage includes a luggage body, a luggage wheel mounted to each of two opposite lateral sides of the luggage body, and a support mechanism mounted to the luggage body. The support mechanism includes a locating shaft affixed to the luggage body, and a support member pivotally coupled to the locating shaft with a support portion and an actuation portion respectively located on two opposite ends thereof such that when the luggage body is shifted from a tilted position to an erected position, the actuation portion is forced by the floor to bias the support member and to further force the support portion into abutment against the floor where the distance between the support portion and the front side of the luggage body is larger than the distance between the axis of the luggage wheels and the front side of the luggage body to prevent falling of the luggage.
