Description

The invention relates to a screen, in particular screen and / or sun visor, for a notebook.

Apertures of this type are known in various designs. For example, it is off DE 203 10 205 a plug-on sun / privacy screen for notebooks known, which is composed of three separate parts. The two side panels are hinged, so that the panel can be transported in notebook bags.

Also from DE 20 2006 010 008 U1 is a notebook sunscreen known that is collapsible.

Out DE 20 2007 013 721 U1 is known a sun visor device for monitors, which has a flat panel, wherein the flat panel is pivotally connected to at least one pivot arm and this articulated with fastening means.

All known panels have the disadvantage that they must be stored separately and they must be mounted after opening a notebook in an additional operation on the notebook.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an aperture that allows for simplified handling.

The object is achieved by a diaphragm which is characterized in that the diaphragm is designed as a collapsible diaphragm and that the diaphragm automatically and / or automatically unfolds when opening a notebook in a diaphragm position.

It may be provided according to the invention that the user can selectively convert the diaphragm into a diaphragm position or a storage position.

In addition, the panel in the storage position can form a container, in particular a folder or a pocket or a suitcase for the notebook. This embodiment has the additional advantage that a separate storage space for storing and / or transporting the panel is not required. Rather, according to the invention can be completely dispensed with an additional container, such as a folder or a bag or case for transporting the notebook, because the panel itself forms a container for this purpose. The diaphragm according to the invention accordingly fulfills an extremely advantageous dual function in this embodiment.

In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the panel according to the invention this is designed such that it automatically and / or automatically occupies a storage position when closing the notebook. In particular, a spring device may be provided for transferring the diaphragm into the diaphragm position and / or into the storage position. For example, it is provided in a special embodiment that when closing a notebook, the aperture is transferred automatically and without additional operation in a storage position and that while a spring device is tensioned to the energy stored in the spring device later for transferring the aperture in a diaphragm position - for example triggered by opening a notebook - to be able to use.

In addition, it can be provided in a particular embodiment, that the aperture at least one side panel - preferably two side panels - has. For example, at least one side panel may be arranged between the elements. In a particular embodiment, the side panel or the side panels are designed to be flexible and / or collapsible; preferably such that they automatically move into their aperture position when the aperture is transferred to the aperture position.

A particular embodiment of the panel according to the invention has at least two articulated and / or mutually pivotable elements. In particular, it can be provided that the elements are resiliently connected to each other. This can for example be realized in that the elements against the force of a return spring against each other are hinged. This embodiment can also be further developed such that the elements, if necessary - for example, after releasing a lock - automatically and / or automatically move from the storage position in the aperture position.

The elements may for example be made of a hard material, for example made of plastic shells, made of aluminum or of flexible materials, such as textile material or film. Basically, any material and similar construction can be used, as it is known in the field of bags and / or suitcase manufacturing.

In a particular embodiment, the panel is at least partially made of textile fabric or a film. As an alternative or in addition, it is also possible that the panel has at least one frame covered with textile fabric or a film and / or that one of the elements of the panel has at least one frame covered with textile fabric or a film.

In a particularly lightweight design, the panel has two textile or foil-covered frame forming the elements. The frames may advantageously consist of U-shaped bent rods, for example aluminum or carbon fiber. As an articulated and resilient connection, for example, one or more leg springs can be provided. However, the frames can also be easily connected to spring wire or spring clips.

In a particular embodiment, one of the elements in a storage position at least partially forms a container front side and the other of the elements in the storage position at least partially a container back.

In addition, it can be provided according to the invention that one of the elements can be arranged in an aperture position like an awning on a screen and / or arranged.

In a particular embodiment, the panel and / or one of the elements has at least one fastening device for fastening the panel to a notebook. This fastening device can - depending on the application - be designed as a versatile universal attachment or as a special attachment - for example, for notebooks of a special type.

Advantageously, a handle device can be arranged on the panel, which facilitates carrying, in particular in the storage position. Preferably, the handle device is such - foldable - trained that they do not interfere in the aperture position; especially does not disturb the free view of the screen and / or does not restrict the installation options.

In the drawing, the subject invention is shown schematically and will be described below with reference to the figures, wherein like-acting elements are provided with the same reference numerals. Showing:

1 a detailed representation of the structure of a diaphragm according to the invention,

2 an aperture according to the invention for a notebook in a diaphragm position and

3 to 7 the process of transferring the aperture of the aperture in a storage position.

1 shows detailed representation of the structure of an aperture according to the invention. There are two U-shaped curved frames 1 . 2 provided, which are pivotally connected together by means of two leg springs, not shown, such that the frame 1 . 2 against the force of the torsion springs can be folded against each other.

The first frame 1 is with a first textile fabric 3 and the second frame 2 is with a second textile fabric 4 related, what among others in 2 is shown. The first frame 1 and the first textile fabric 3 are components of a first element 5 while the second frame 2 and the second textile fabric 4 Components of a second element 6 are. The first textile fabric is a first flexible handle 7 and on the second textile fabric is a second flexible handle 8th arranged. To attach the panel to a notebook, the second element 6 two holding strips 9 . 10 on, which make it possible for the screen part of a notebook to be clamped between the second textile fabric 4 and the retaining strips 9 . 10 to arrange. In concrete terms, the second element is via the screen part 11 a notebook 12 slipped, The panel also has flexible and foldable side panels, which, however, for the sake of clarity, are not shown in this figure.

3 shows the aperture according to the invention in the aperture on a notebook 12 , In this figure are also the flexible and foldable side panels 13 . 14 to recognize. The first element 5 is in the aperture awning like the screen part 11 from. In this position, the screen is protected against unwanted extraneous light and lateral view.

To transfer the panel to the storage position, first the keyboard part 15 of the notebook 12 against the screen part 11 pivoted, without the aperture is removed. This is in the 4 and 5 shown. Subsequently, the first element 5 against the back of the keyboard part 15 panned the notebook. The side panels 13 . 14 are designed so that they fold automatically between the back of the keyboard part 15 and put the inside of the first element.

7 shows the bezel in the storage position, in which the panel itself and the arranged in her notebook 12 safely on the handles 7 . 8th can be carried and transported. Not shown is a lock that prevents accidental unfolding of the panel. This can for example consist of one or more Velcro tabs. To transfer the aperture of the storage position in the aperture position only the lock must be solved, the torsion springs then automatically pivot the elements 5 . 6 and the side panels 13 . 14 in the aperture, so that only the notebook needs to be opened.

The invention has been described with reference to a particular embodiment. However, it is to be understood that changes and modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the following claims.
