Definitions

  • the invention relates to a holder, for example for a laptop computer, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a holder for a laptop computer is known, for example from US patent No. 6,098, 952 .
  • the holder that is disclosed in said US patent is composed of several parts, which are assembled into a holder by means of hinges, screws and other fastening means.
  • the adjusting means that function to adjust the angle of the laptop computer on the holder with respect to the supporting surface are positioned behind and under the laptop computer, so that they are not readily accessible to the user, which renders adjustment thereof more difficult.
  • said holder is built up of several parts and has considerable spatial dimensions in its collapsed position, so that it is not very user-friendly, the more so because it is not very manageable and somewhat difficult to carry along in a briefcase.
  • a holder having a first plate and a support plate, wherein the support plate is hinged to the first plate and rests on the supporting surface.
  • the object of the invention is to overcome the aforesaid drawbacks and provide a compact and lightweight holder for a laptop computer, which is furthermore built up of a minimum number of parts and which is very easy to adjust by the user.
  • the holder is characterized in that by the characterizing features of claim 1.
  • a very compact, lightweight holder is obtained which has minimal spatial dimensions in the collapsed position, as a result of which it is very easy to take along in a briefcase or the like, for example.
  • the holder is built up of a minimal number of parts that need not be assembled into one unit by means of additional hinges, screws or other fastening means. On the contrary, it is possible to form the holder in one piece.
  • the support is embodied as a second plate member that can hinge out of the plane from said first plate member.
  • the adjusting means are embodied as a third plate member that can hinge out of the plane of said support.
  • Embodying the holder according to the invention as plate members that can hinge out of each other's plane not only leads to a lightweight and compact construction, but in addition the holder has minimal spatial dimensions in the collapsed position thereof, which renders the holder considerably more manageable.
  • the adjusting means may comprise at least one slot formed in the third plate member, which slot mates with a projection extending from the edge of the first plate member.
  • the adjusting means may comprise several parallel slots formed in the third plate member so as to improve the adjustability.
  • the holder according to the invention is characterized in that the first plate member is provided with an upright flange for supporting an edge of the laptop computer.
  • the first plate member of the holder according to the invention may be provided with supporting means.
  • the supporting means can be moved from the plane of the first plate member, and more particularly the supporting means can hinge out of the plane of the first plate member.
  • the supporting means form an integral part of the first plate member.
  • the supporting means are strip-shaped elements, which strip-shaped elements are hinged to the first plate member at one cross side. Said strip-shaped elements may have a widened free end. Said supporting means may function to support the laptop computer or one or more sheets of paper.
  • the holder is made of a laminated plate-shaped material consisting of two outer layers of a metal with a layer of synthetic material present therebetween.
  • the hinges are obtained by locally removing metal from the two outer layers on either side of the layer of synthetic material, for example by means of a milling operation. This makes it possible to make the holder in one piece, whilst the hinges between the various parts of the holder can be obtained without providing additional hinges or other fastening means. This ensures a very lightweight and compact construction, which has minimal spatial dimensions in the collapsed position and is thus easy to take along in a briefcase or the like.
  • the holder is integrated in the housing of the laptop computer.
  • the invention also relates to a laptop computer comprising a holder according to the invention, which is integrated in the housing of the laptop computer.
  • the holder functions to support a laptop computer 1, which laptop computer can be adjusted in various positions, i.e. angles with respect to a supporting surface, by the user.
  • the holder 10 is made up of a first plate member 11, which functions to support the housing of the laptop computer 1, as is clearly shown in Figures 1-3 .
  • the first plate member 11 has circumferential edges 11a-11b-11c-11d. More in particular, said circumferential edges also define the outer boundaries of the holder in the collapsed position thereof.
  • the holder 10 also comprises a support 12, which is connected to the first plate member by means of hinges 12d and which can hinge out of the plane of the first plate member 11.
  • the support 12 which is embodied as a second plate member, has been cut free from the first plate member 11 by forming cuts 11e and 12c-13a so as to enable the support to hinge about the hinges 12d.
  • the second plate member 12 rests on the supporting surface with the edge 11d thereof.
  • the holder 10 comprises adjusting means 13 for adjusting the angle of the holder (the first plate member 11) with respect to the supporting surface, which adjusting means 13 are embodied as a third plate member 13.
  • Said third plate member 13 can hinge about the hinge 13e from the plane of the second plate member of 12 as a result of the third plate member 13 being separated from the second plate member 12 and the first plate member 11 via cuts 12c-13a.
  • the adjusting means 13 comprise a front part 13c, which extends in the direction of the user in the extended position as shown in Figures 1 and 2 .
  • the third plate member 13 is provided with several parallel slots 13d, into which an upright projection 14a ( Figure 2 ) can slip, which is used in adjusting the angle of the holder 10 with respect to the supporting surface, and consequently also the angle of the computer 1 with respect to the user.
  • Said projection 14a is formed on the edge 11c of the first plate member 11.
  • Figure 4 shows a partial view of the first plate member 11 of an embodiment of a holder for a laptop computer, in which the holder comprises means 15a-15b for supporting the laptop computer or one or more sheets of paper.
  • the holder is not only intended for use as a laptop computer support, but it may also function as a document holder.
  • the supporting means 15a-15b can be moved from the plane of the first plate member 11, more in particular, said supporting means can hinge out of the plane of a first plate member. More specifically and in accordance with the inventive concept underlying the holder according to the invention, supporting means 15a-15b are integrated in the first plate member 11.
  • the supporting means are elongated or strip-shaped, which strip-shaped elements are hingedly connected to the first plate member 11 at the location of one cross side 21.
  • the remainder of the circumferential edge 20 of the supporting element 15a-15b has been cut free from the first plate member 11, whilst the strip-shaped element is provided with a hinge at the position indicated at 22, as a result of which the strip-shaped element can deform from the plane of the first plate member 11.
  • the free end 15c can move upwards from the plane of the first plate member 11 and be inserted into a slot 15d formed in the plate member 11 as a result of the strip-shaped element 15a-15b hinging about the hinges 21 and 22.
  • the strip-shaped element 15a-15b extends upwards from the plate member 11, therefore, and can thus function as a stop for a laptop computer or sheets of paper, as the case may be.
  • FIG 4b shows an additional, separate plate member 25 having the same external dimensions as the first plate member 11. Both the supporting means 15a-15b and the slots 15d as described above are formed in this plate member 25.
  • the plate member can be connected to the first plate member 11 by suitable means (clamped connections, snap connections or Velcro) and function as an additional, solid support for a laptop computer.
  • suitable means clamped connections, snap connections or Velcro
  • the extent to which the external dimensions increase as a result of the presence of this additional part is minimal, since the first plate member 25 can also be designed as a very flat element.
  • the holder in one piece, using a laminated material consisting of two outer layers 40a-14b, for example of a metal, with a layer 41 of a synthetic material present therebetween. See Figures 5a-5c .
  • a hinge 43 as shown in Figure 5c is formed by cutting away the metal 40a-40b at the location of 42a-42b on either side of the plate material. In this way it is possible to form the holder according to the invention of one plate material without using additional hinge means and connecting means, wherein hinging movement of the various plate members 11, 12 and 13 with respect to each other and corresponding hinging movement of the supporting means 15a-15b is made possible by cutting the material away in whole or in part.
  • the specific construction of the holder as described above makes it possible - in contrast to holders of similar construction - to make the holder in one piece.
