Abstract
Abstract A crutch carry-all attachment for holding letters, papers, books and magazines, including a compartment having a flat side detachably secured to a crutch and the opposite side hinged on a horizontal pivot, so that it can drop into a horizontal position. The side that drops has an opening formed therein for holding a cup such as is used for beverages. Magnets on the crutch help to secure the attachment in place, holding the hinged side in closed position when this is desired, and the flat side as well.
