Abstract

一种膝上型计算机的弹出和升高设备，该设备使得膝上型计算机的屏幕可位于与台式计算机的屏幕相似的高度。这可以通过提供一组可从膝上型计算机机身延伸的腿来实现。此外，旋转膝上型计算机的铰链以便膝上型计算机机身可位于屏幕的后面。当处于该结构时，膝上型计算机的键盘面朝下对着桌子表面。当将这种膝上型计算机作为台式计算机使用，用户可连接键盘、鼠标和/或其他辅助设备到膝上型计算机。

Description

膝上型计算机弹出和升高设备
技术领域
本发明通常涉及升高设备，该升高设备将膝上型计算机屏幕的相对高度升高以更精确地与台式计算机屏幕的高度相近似。
背景技术
膝上型计算机的设计是小的紧凑型设备。当工作在受限区域内时，使用膝上型计算机是所期望的。然而，当膝上型计算机用户在桌旁工作时，膝上型计算机的小尺寸使得屏幕位于相对于用户视觉水平面的适当高度以下。此外，膝上型计算机的键盘为了装配在受限尺寸外型内，具有减少的按键设置。当用户在桌旁工作时，经常将标准台式计算机键盘和其他辅助设备连接到膝上型计算机。然而，这样并没有解决屏幕高度的问题。有些用户试图通过在盒子、书堆上放置膝上型计算机或其他方法以升高屏幕的高度来解决这个问题。为了将膝上型计算机的键盘与台式计算机的键盘都放置在桌面上，屏幕必须与用户处于不舒适的距离。
发明内容
因此，本发明的目的是提供一种装置，该装置用于将膝上型计算机的屏幕升高以符合人体工程学地位于相对于用户视觉水平面的正确高度。
本发明的进一步的目的是升高屏幕同时使得用户与屏幕保持舒适的距离。
根据本发明，提供一种相对于用户视觉水平面升高屏幕高度的弹出和升高设备。该弹出和升高设备也将膝上型计算机键盘旋转到屏幕后面。通过将键盘放置在屏幕的后面，膝上型计算机屏幕可以更舒适的距离位于更靠近用户的位置。
附图说明
参照附图，通过下面对本发明优选实施例的详细说明可以更好地理解本发明前述的和其他的目的、方面以及优点，其中：
图1为连接到没有通过弹出和升高装置的辅助设备上的膝上型计算机的视图。
图2显示具有弹出和升高装置的膝上型计算机的视图。
图3为腿在延伸位置的视图。
图4为具有启动的弹出和升高装置的膝上型计算机的侧视图。
具体实施方式
参照附图，并且尤其是参照图1，这里示出作为台式计算机使用的膝上型计算机1的典型结构。膝上型计算机1连接到键盘2或其他辅助设备，包括但不限于鼠标、打印机、扩音器、PDA对接站等。这种结构使得用户可将所有文件保存在单一设备中但提供了增强的辅助设备的数据访问能力。然而，由于膝上型计算机低于典型的台式计算机，因此这不是最优的结构。这使得用户向下看计算机而不是使得屏幕位于相对于用户的视觉水平面的位置。计算机屏幕的视觉水平面的高度将减少在膝上型计算机前工作时发生的颈部和背部的疲劳。
设计弹出和升高设备以提供用于膝上型计算机1的符合人体工程学的结构。现参看图2，膝上型计算机1包括屏幕3和机身4。膝上型计算机1的机身4通常设有键盘、鼠标、数据连接器，以及电源输入和CD-ROM或软盘接收器。对于标准膝上型计算机1，增加了可延伸的腿(5，6，7和8)，优选地是在机身4的四个角。在图2，表示腿处于缩进位置以便腿看起来是在膝上型计算机机身4上面的小凸起或者其他稍微升起的突起物，并且腿和键盘位于机身4的同侧。(然而，可延伸的腿的位置根据设计的选择可不同并且无需与键盘设在同一表面或者设在角上)。与图1表示的目前可使用的膝上型计算机不同，膝上型计算机1的铰链9是自由旋转的铰链9以便屏幕3可相对于机身4从0E到270E或者优选接近360E旋转，以便当机身向后弹出时屏幕保持面朝前。当机身向后弹出时，键盘将面向下并且用户接触不到。图2也显示了一优选连接器面板，该连接器面板与目前的位于膝上型计算机1的机身4背面的连接器接口相似。该优选的连接器面板10将提供用于辅助设备(如，键盘、鼠标等)的相同或相似的连接器，以便当机身4弹出到向后位置时，连接这些辅助设备的导线位于桌子的后面。
现参考图3，表示延伸的腿(5，6，7和8)在展开的位置。当展开或延伸时，腿(5，6，7和8)从机身4的上部向上突出。当位于完全延伸的位置时，腿可高出机身4的上部达6英寸，以便当键盘向后弹出并且面向下时，机身4被升高至平面或桌面以上6英寸。通过升高机身4，屏幕可升高至一个符合人体工程学的适当高度。可延伸的腿可延伸不超过6英寸的最大高度而高于0英寸的最低高度，以便腿可以调整到用户喜爱的位置。
最后，图4表示机身4向后弹出并且腿(5和6)延伸以支撑机身4在桌子表面上的膝上型计算机1的侧视图。屏幕3显示为相对于用户朝前面对，并且键盘2或其他辅助设备连接到膝上型计算机1的机身4。
尽管本发明表示支撑机身的4个可延伸的腿，但对于本领域技术人员，应当理解在所附权利要求书的精神和范围内，腿的尺寸和形状可以改变。此外，腿可固定到机身4或者可与其分离(如可插入机身内的孔中的销)。
此外，尽管本发明根据单一优选实施例进行了描述，但本领域技术人员应当认识到本发明可以在以所附权利要求书的精神和范围内变化形式实施。
