Definitions

  • This invention relates to a carrying bag for limiting damage to its contents.
  • the invention is applicable to use in a bag for carrying laptops or notebooks.
  • Carrying bags for delicate items, such as laptops need to be strong enough so that if they are dropped they prevent the laptop from being damaged.
  • Usually carrying bags for laptops or similar computing equipment include a pocket in which the laptop can be placed. The laptop can then be fastened in place using a strap that loops over the laptop and attaches to the pocket, for example using a hook and eye fastener such as Velcro (RTM).
  • RTM hook and eye fastener
  • a carrying bag including the laptop frames and additional foam padding may be introduced into the bag.
  • the frame and any foam present are generally placed around the side and top and bottom walls of the bag.
  • the frame and padding reduce the effect on the laptop caused by dropping it when it is in a carrying bag they add to the weight of the bag. The extra weight is not convenient to a user who has to carry the bag and the laptop.
  • a carrying bag for a computer comprising a front wall, a back wall opposite the front wall, two side walls, a top wall, a bottom wall and support means, the support means attached to the top wall and arranged to bear the computer at a distance from the bottom wall.
  • the support means is made from an elastic material.
  • the support means also includes a surface which holds the computer in place using friction.
  • the friction may, for example be provided by a matt surface on the support means.
  • the support means may be attached to the top wall using rivets.
  • the support means may be a strap which is adapted to extend below the computer and attach to a second support means attached to the top wall.
  • Figure 1 shows a carrying bag 10 in accordance with the present invention.
  • the carry bag has a front wall 12 and a back wall 14 opposing it.
  • the carrying bag 10 additionally has two sidewalls 16, a bottom wall 18 and a top wall 20.
  • the carrying bag 10 may be provided with a rigid frame running around the inside of the side 16, bottom 18 and top 20 walls.
  • the frame acts to ensure the shape of the bag 10 is maintained if it is dropped.
  • the frame is made of steel or honeycomb PVC.
  • the carrying bag may be constructed in any suitable manner for implementing the invention described below.
  • the carrying bag 10 is provided with one or more support means 22.
  • the support means 22 may be one or more straps. The width of the straps may be varied according to, for example, the maximum size of laptop that they will support. Alternatively, the support means 22 may be any other device that is suitable for supporting the weight of a laptop.
  • the support means 22 are preferably attached to the top wall 20 of the carry bag 10. By attaching the support means 22 to the top wall 20 a laptop 24 held within the carrying bag 10 may be adequately supported. Additionally, attachment of the support means 22 to the top wall 20 acts to minimise any horizontal movement of the support means 22 and hence the laptop 24.
  • the support means 22 may be attached to the top wall 20 using any suitable means. Preferably, rivets are used to ensure a strong connection between the top wall 20 and the support means 22.
  • the laptop In order to fasten a laptop 24 within the carrying bag 10 the laptop is laid in the carrying bag 10 adjacent to the top wall 20. Preferably, there is a gap between the laptop 24 and the bottom wall 18 of the carry bag 10. The gap means that when the carrying bag 10 and laptop are dropped the laptop 24 does not come into contact with the bottom wall 18 of the carry bag 10. As the laptop 24 does not come into contact with the bottom wall 18 of the carrying bag 10 it is protected from the full impact of the collision between the carrying bag 10 and a surface.
  • the support means 22 are then folded over the laptop 24 and fastened to a second support means 26 as illustrated in Figure 2 .
  • the fastening of the support means 22 to a second support means 26 ensures that the laptop 24 is held securely in place.
  • the support means 22, 26 may be fastened to each other using hook and eye fasteners, a sliding or conventional buckle or any other suitable means.
  • the support means 22 and second support means 26 may be integral with one another or, alternatively may be two separate support means both attached to the top wall of the carry case.
  • a sliding buckle is illustrated in Figure 3 and is defined for the purposes of this description as a device through which a strap may be threaded. The device uses friction to hold the buckle in place at the position at which it is placed on the strap.
  • a conventional buckle is provided with a protrusion which may be inserted through a strap, or a hole in a strap in order to hold the strap at a fixed length.
  • the support means 22 may be made from heavy-duty fabric, for example webbing.
  • the support means 22 may also be provided with an elastic material segment in order to allow the length of the support means to be adjusted.
  • the support means 22 may comprise two separate sections as illustrated in Figure 3 .
  • the first section 28 is attached to the top wall of the carry case and the second section 30 is provided with means to attach to the second support means 26.
  • the first 28 and second 30 sections of the support means 22 are attached to each other using any suitable means that enables the length of the support means 22 to be adjusted. This may be, for example, a slide buckle as illustrated in Figure 3 .
  • the second support means 26 or both the support means 22, 26 may be provided with an elastic material segment.
  • the second support means 26, may comprise two separate sections attached to each other in an adjustable manner.
  • the support means 22 are constructed such that when the carrying bag containing the laptop 24 is dropped the support means 22 acts to absorb the energy generated by the impact of the carrying bag on an external surface. The amount of force transferred to the laptop by the bag is thereby minimised reducing the amount of damage caused to the laptop.
  • the support means 22 is made of one or more, preferably two, straps. Additionally, the support means 22 may include a matt or other suitable surface which acts to place a frictional force on the laptop to hold it in place and prevent it from moving from side to side.
