Description:
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS  
       [0001]     This application claims the benefit of co-pending U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/497,175 filed Aug. 23, 2003. 
     
    
     BACKGROUND  
       [0002]     Women typically carry personal items such as lipstick, wallet, and eyeglasses in a purse. This is especially true for women who are dressed for business, because business attire typically does not have pockets. Businesswomen often carry briefcases for business papers and the like in addition to their purses. Until the advent of the present invention, both bags have been needed because frequently the businesswoman will need personal items only, such as when visiting the ladies&#39; room, and it doesn&#39;t make sense to carry the briefcase to the bathroom. Carrying multiple bags is clumsy and inefficient. It also results in an unsightly pile of luggage at the woman&#39;s feet during meetings or while traveling.  
         [0003]     It is desirable to enable businesswomen to carry business and personal items in a single carrying device that further enables her to take the personal items out of the device in a separate, carryable container that is easily removed and returned into the devise when desired.

         [0039]      FIG. 35  indicates a view of an Alternate Embodiment of the back side of the Briefcase where hooks and a loop can be added so that the shoulder strap which can be seen in  FIG. 1  and  FIG. 2  can be adapted to slip over the user&#39;s arms to enable carrying the Briefcase on the user&#39;s back.  
         [0040]      FIG. 36  indicates a view of an Alternate Embodiment of the back side of the Purse where hooks and a loop can be added so that the shoulder strap which can be seen in  FIG. 1  and  FIG. 2  can be adapted to slip over the user&#39;s arms to enable carrying the Purse on the user&#39;s back.  
     
    
       [0041]     The essential purpose of the instant Briefcase and Purse System is to incorporate an inner and easily removable and replaceable Purse within an outer Briefcase.  
         [0042]     The optional top flaps of the Briefcase open completely for complete and unobstructed access to the inside of the Briefcase and to the Purse.  
         [0043]     It can be seen in the instant invention that the Purse can be easily removed from and replaced within the Briefcase by lifting it out of the section designated for it within the Briefcase. The ease of removing the Purse from the Briefcase and the ease of access to the items in the Purse is enhanced by the Briefcase and the Purse sharing one shoulder strap.  
         [0044]     The shoulder strap is easily detached and reattached to either the Purse (when it has been removed from the Briefcase) or to the Briefcase by means of clasps that hook onto rings that are permanently attached to the sides on both the Briefcase and the Purse. The Briefcase and Purse sharing the same shoulder strap eliminates the problem that can be caused by a shoulder strap that is permanently affixed to the Purse getting tangled and impeding its removal from and replacement in the Briefcase. The Purse, unimpeded by a long shoulder strap to have to wrap around the Purse or attach in any other manner, will easily slide back into its place within the Briefcase.  
         [0045]     The (optional) top flaps of the Purse (just like the top flaps on the Briefcase) also open completely to allow for complete and unobstructed access to the inside of the Purse.  
         [0046]     The goal is to have easy access for the removal and return of all objects to a place within either the Purse or the Briefcase.  
         [0047]     The Purse and the Briefcase are divided into sections so that all items stand more or less upright within either the Purse or the Briefcase. The sections would contain, for example, but not limited to, items such as a wallet, checkbook, glasses, cell phone, and/or cosmetics.  
         [0048]     The inside of the Briefcase may be configured in any number of ways for various items, depending upon the user&#39;s needs. In the preferred embodiment, one divider inside the Briefcase will be horizontal to allow for the insertion of files, reports, books, papers, magazines and the like. The other dividers and pockets are to accommodate things such as a water bottle, toiletries, baby supplies, etc. There is an option of a zippered compartment (pocket) within any one or more of the sections. (Note: all divider sections must be more or less rigid in order to maintain the ease of removal and replacement of items within either the Briefcase or the Purse.
