Padfolio with work area

US-7281877-B1

Abstract

This invention provides a padfolio, portfolio or other foldable business accessory that is organized with three hinged leaves (including two main leaves and one overriding leaf that folds over the main leaves when closed together) that may be unfolded and laid flat to expose various internal elements within an overall interior. The elements are organized so that a notepad is provided in a center leaf, while one of the opposing side leaves include a raised clock base having a well or recess for securing a clock having a folding stand that can be raised into an angled, standing position from a flat position. One main leaf also includes a support base that removably supports a personal digital assistant (PDA), that is normally secured flat against the leaf, but that can be hinged upwardly into at least one adjustable angled position whereby the PDA is tilted for easier viewing whilst working in another area of the padfolio, such as the notepad. In this manner, it is more accessible and easier to use. During folding of the leaves, both the clock and the PDA can be secured in a flat orientation for compact storage. The leaves can include, variously, a series of pockets and sleeves for carrying documents, effects and business accessories. In an illustrative embodiment, the a leftmost main leaf can include the pockets the PDA, the center leaf can include the notepad and the overriding leaf includes the clock.
