Abstract

The flexible removable visual display screen is no longer fixed to the actual computer including the keyboard but is positioned using a separate chassis, e.g. for a workstation, or suspension device. Data transmission is carried out by cable or cordlessly (e.g. by radio). The screen can be rotated through 90 degrees to enable observation in portrait format.

Description

A) Zum heutigen Stand wird der Bildschirm eines Laptops als gleichzeitige Abdeckplatte der Tastatur durch aufklappen funktionsfähigA) As of today, the screen of a laptop is considered to be simultaneous Functional cover plate of the keyboard can be opened

  • 1. Durch die unmittelbare Verbindung des Bildschirmes zur Tastatur ist ein ergonomisches Arbeiten mit einem Laptop nicht möglich.
    Laut EU-Richtlinie zur Bildschirmarbeit muß die Tastatur vom Bildschirmgerät getrennt und neigbar sein, damit der Benutzer eine ergonomisch günstige Arbeitshaltung einnehmen kann (vgl. http:/ / sanis.uni-wuppertal.de/sanus/bgbl/anhang.html). Diese Vorschrift gilt allerdings bisher nur für festinstallierte PC.
    Von Beratungsunternehmen wird weiterhin empfohlen, daß die Winkelstellung des Ellenbogengelenkes etwas mehr als 90° betragen sollte, während die oberste Bildschirmzeile etwa in Höhe der Augen sich befinden sollte (vgl. http:/ / www.barkhof.uni- bremen.de/tbs/info/bildrich.htm).
    Für einen Laptop gilt folglich: bei richtiger Höhe der Tastatur ist der Bildschirm zu niedrig, bzw. bei optimaler Höhe des Bildschirmes ist zeitgleich die Tastatur nicht ergonomisch angeordnet.     1. The direct connection of the screen to the keyboard means that ergonomic working with a laptop is not possible.
    According to the EU directive on VDU work, the keyboard must be separate from the display device and tiltable so that the user can adopt an ergonomically favorable working position (see http: / / sanis.uni-wuppertal.de/sanus/bgbl/anhang.html). So far, however, this regulation only applies to permanently installed PCs.
    Consulting companies also recommend that the angular position of the elbow joint should be slightly more than 90 °, while the top line of the screen should be approximately at the level of the eyes (see http: / / www.barkhof.uni-bremen.de/tbs/ info / bildrich.htm).
    The following applies to a laptop: if the keyboard is at the correct height, the screen is too low, or if the screen is at the optimum height, the keyboard is not ergonomically arranged at the same time.
  • 2. Desweiteren werden im tagtäglichen Handeln oft Schriftstücke (Briefe, e-mails u. ä.) ausgetauscht, die im DIN A4 - Hochformat geschrieben werden. Um dieses Format als Ganzes auf dem Bildschirm darzustellen (z. B. in Winword unter "Ansicht/Zoom/Ganze Seite") wird ein DIN A4 Blatt auf 50% der eigentlichen Größe verkleinert, eine Lesbarkeit geht bei den gängigen Bildschirmen (15"/17") somit verloren. 2. Furthermore, documents (letters, e-mails, etc.) are often used in everyday activities. exchanged, which are written in A4 portrait format. To format this as Display everything on the screen (e.g. in Winword under "View / Zoom / Whole Page ") an A4 sheet is reduced to 50% of its actual size, legibility is lost on the common screens (15 "/ 17").
B) Diese Probleme werden durch die im Patentanspruch 1 und 2 aufgeführten Merkmale gelöstB) These problems are caused by those listed in claims 1 and 2 Features solved

Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, daß

  • - für Laptops, die alternativ als Feststationen verwendet werden (sog. Docking Stations), keine weiteren Bildschirme notwendig sind. Abb. 1 zeigt einen von der Basisstation getrennten Bildschirm.
  • - Schreiben im DIN A4 Format lesbarer werden, da der Bildschirm kongruent zum Blattformat ist. Abb. 2 zeigt die Rückansicht eines um 90° gedrehten Bildschirmes.
  • - durch Trennung des Bildschirmes von der Basisstation ein ergonomisches Arbeiten mit einem Laptop erst ermöglicht wird. Abb. 3 zeigt die eine ergonomische Arbeitsmöglichkeit im Fond eines Kraftfahrzeuges
The advantages achieved by the invention are in particular that
  • - For laptops that are alternatively used as fixed stations (so-called docking stations), no additional screens are necessary. Fig. 1 shows a screen separate from the base station.
  • - Writing in A4 format becomes more readable because the screen is congruent with the sheet format. Fig. 2 shows the rear view of a screen rotated by 90 °.
  • - Ergonomic working with a laptop is only made possible by separating the screen from the base station. Fig. 3 shows an ergonomic way of working in the rear of a motor vehicle

1. Abnehmbarer Bildschirm bei einem mobilen Personalcomputer (Laptop). dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der eigentlicher Rechner inklusive Tastatur nicht mehr fest verbunden mit dem Bildschirm ist, sondern über ein separates Gestell (z. B. für den Arbeitsplatz) oder über ein Anhängevorrichtung (z. B. Auto-Fond) plaziert wird. Die Datenübertragung erfolgt per Kabel oder drahtlos (z. B. über Funk). 1. Removable screen on a mobile personal computer (laptop). characterized in that the actual computer including the keyboard is no longer permanently connected to the screen, but rather is placed on a separate frame (e.g. for the workplace) or via a hitch (e.g. car rear). Data is transmitted via cable or wirelessly (e.g. via radio). 2. Abnehmbarer Bildschirm nach Patentanspruch 1, drehbar gestaltet, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der Bildschirm um 90° drehbar gestaltet ist und somit eine Betrachtung des Bildschirmes im Hochformat ermöglicht. Die Datenübertragung vom eigentlichen Rechner erfolgt per Kabel oder drahtlos (z. B. über Funk). 2. Removable screen according to claim 1, designed to be rotatable, characterized, that the screen is designed to be rotatable by 90 ° and thus a viewing of the screen in portrait format. The data transfer from the actual computer takes place via Cable or wireless (e.g. via radio).
