Definitions
- the invention relates to a portable computer with a base housing and a display attached to the base housing by means of a display attachment.
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide a portable computer that enables an ergonomically favorable position of the display without the need for a complex, permanently installed arrangement.
- a portable computer of the type mentioned at the outset which is characterized in that the base housing has an installation device for positioning the base housing at an installation angle between the base housing and a dividing surface in the angular range from 30 ° to 90 °.
- the stand-up device has the advantage that the portable computer, which is usually relatively flat, can be placed on the table top in such a way that the display is brought to an optimal height.
- the basic housing thus acts as a spacer between the installation surface and the display. Due to the steepness of the installation angle, the height of the display can be adjusted, while the inclination of the display can be adjusted by the generally swiveling fastening on the base housing. With larger devices, an angle of 30 ° may be sufficient to maintain an ergonomically favorable height of the display. With smaller devices, larger angles of up to 90 ° are necessary to achieve an equally favorable display position. In most cases, angles between 45 ° and 90 ° are reasonable.
- the stand-up device can be implemented in a simple manner by means of a foldable bracket, the attachment of which lies, for example, on the underside of the base housing. In an advantageous embodiment, it can be locked in several stages. The manual access required for regular use Such devices such as floppy disks or CD-ROM drives are advantageously arranged so that they are accessible from the side.
- FIG. 1 shows a portable computer according to the invention with a foldable bracket in a schematic illustration
- FIG. 2 shows a schematic illustration of a second exemplary embodiment of a portable computer according to the invention
- Figure 3 shows a third embodiment of a portable computer
- Figure 4 shows a fourth embodiment of a portable computer.
- FIG. 1 shows a portable computer in a position intended for ergonomic work.
- a display 2 is attached to a base housing 1 via a hinge bracket 3.
- a keyboard 4 is removable and, in the case shown, is positioned at a small distance in front of the base housing 1 on a dividing surface 7.
- the base housing 1 forms an installation angle ⁇ of approximately 70 ° with the dividing surface 7.
- the base housing 1 is held in this position by a pivotable bracket 5, which is supported on the mounting surface 7.
- the setup angle ⁇ is thus due to the
- the bracket 5 Position of the bracket 5 fixed. The further the bracket 5 is opened, the flatter the base housing 1 is the slope of the set-up automatically results in the height of the display 2 above the dividing surface 7. In the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 1, the display is opened by 180 °. It is also conceivable, however, that the display 2 assumes a different angle with respect to the base housing 1, depending on the size and seating position of the user, the height of the installation surface 7 and the lighting conditions or how the user perceives the picture as pleasant.
- the set-up device is formed by a swivel plate 6.
- the swivel plate 6 In the transport state, the swivel plate 6 is received in a corresponding recess in the base housing 1. If the portable computer is set up for work, the pivotable plate 6 is folded out.
- the pivotable holder of the pivot plate 6 is designed so that the plate engages in several stages. This enables a stable position of the base housing 1 at different installation angles ⁇ . By limiting the set-up angle ⁇ to, for example, 80 °, it can be ensured that the base housing is not set up too steeply and the stability of the base housing 1 in the set-up position is thereby impaired.
- This schematically illustrated exemplary embodiment shows that the display 2 can also be opened further than 180 °.
- FIG. 3 a possibility is shown of how an installation angle of 90 ° can be realized without the installation position of the base housing 1 becoming unstable.
- rotating plates 8A and 8B are provided, which are rotated by 90 ° to set up the base housing 1 and thus bring about a widening of the footprint.
- the rotating plate 8A is shown.
- the rotating plate 8B is still in the transport position.
- recesses are provided in the base housing 1 in order to receive the rotary plates 8A and 8B in the transport position.
- the keyboard is integrated in the basic housing 1. In order to be able to work in an ergonomic position, an external keyboard must be connected.
- Devices to be operated during operation are no longer usable if they are attached to the front side surface, since this faces the installation surface 7 in the installed state. Therefore, with optimal use of the invention, these devices must be accessible from the side, as shown in FIG. 3 with the aid of a floppy disk drive 9.
- the hinge attachment 3 corresponds to the usual attachment of displays 2 to base housings 1, since the inclination of the display 2 can thereby be adjusted.
- the base housing 1 has an elongated slot 10 which runs parallel to a side surface 12 and which forms a recess for receiving a support plate 11.
- the support plate 11 can be swung out of the slot in a pivoting movement and thus serve as a stand-up device.
- the side surface 12 with which the base housing 1 is intended to rest on a dividing surface is chamfered. This results in a stable set-up position in connection with the support plate 11.
- the support plate can be slidably received in the slot, so that it can be brought out by pulling it into the position provided for installation.
- a displaceable support plate could also be arranged on the side surface 12 and guided by lugs in guide slots.
