Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a briefcase, in particular for laptop computers.
  • the present invention refers to a briefcase which, alongside allowing - just like the briefcases/bags currently available in the market - a correct and safe transfer of a laptop computer when it is OFF, it also allows the user to comfortably use the same computer even walking or standing on one's feet without the help of any external support surface.
  • laptop computers which have a small size, are very light, even less than a kilogram, and are provided with an incorporated rechargeable battery, are currently commonly used.
  • Examples of work activities which often require using a laptop computer while walking and standing on one's feet without any external rigid support are yearly drafting of the inventory, in which the user must move around the warehouse stopping from time to time in front of the stored goods, or visits at trade show exhibitions, wherein between an exhibition stand and another it may be necessary to take notes and possibly send an email.
  • the briefcase described in US 5725255 comprises flexible elements suitable to form, during use, a support passing around the neck of a user to keep the briefcase at operative position.
  • An object of the present invention is that of providing a briefcase capable of overcoming the previously mentioned drawbacks of the prior art in an extremely simple, economical and particularly functional manner.
  • Another object is that of providing a briefcase capable of allowing both the safe transport of a laptop computer when it is OFF and allow comfortable use while walking or standing on one's feet in the absence of external rigid supports.
  • a briefcase according to the present invention which, as observable from the description that follows, allows the user both to safely transport a laptop computer when OFF and using it comfortably when standing on one's feet in absence of external rigid support planes, is indicated with 10.
  • laptop computer is used to indicate all electronic devices provided with a keyboard and a monitor through which data may be processed.
  • Such briefcase 10 comprises a first 11 and a second portion 12 coupled together through a rotatable mutual connection portion 16, which may be a hinge 16 or a portion made of material, for example a fabric, sufficiently flexible to allow the mutual rotation of the portions 11 and 12.
  • a rotatable mutual connection portion 16 which may be a hinge 16 or a portion made of material, for example a fabric, sufficiently flexible to allow the mutual rotation of the portions 11 and 12.
  • hinge 16 is used to indicate any possible connection capable of allowing mutual rotation of the portions 11 and 12.
  • hinge 16 allows the two portions 11, 12 to perform relative rotations in such a manner to define, when brought together, a closable containment volume, for example through a zip or any other element, in which the laptop computer 14 may be placed.
  • At least one of the portions 11, 12, in particular the second portion 12 i.e. the one intended to receive the bottom portion of the laptop computer 14, is provided with removable anchoring means such as elastic bands or Velcro laces.
  • the laptop computer 14 may be transported by the user in an extremely safe manner.
  • the hinge coupling 16 between the portions 11, 12 comprises means for blocking the rotation of the second portion 12 at a predetermined angle with respect to the first 11 portion.
  • angle ⁇ beyond which any further relative rotation of the portions 11 and 12 is not allowed is about 90°, preferably 80°.
  • Hinges of this type are per se known and currently available in the market.
  • the flexible elements 13 which represent support for the use of the briefcase 10, as well as belts/buckles 36 which shall be described hereinafter, are connected to the first portion 11, i.e. the portion which, during use, is adherent to the thorax of the user.
  • the first portion 11 comprises anchored to the walls thereof, preferably on the opposite side with respect to the hinge 16, flexible elements 13 of the shoulder strap type possibly adjustable and/or removable, and a handle 13' which may be arranged in the briefcase itself.
  • the first portion 11 may also be provided with elastic belts/buckles associated to the outer wall thereof, in which such elastic belts/buckles serve as support passing around the back of a user like a safety belt for better support of the briefcase on the thorax thereof.
  • belts/buckles 36 are connected to the upper end of the first portion 11 so as to provide, alongside a safety support for the briefcase 10, also a restriction to the downward rotation of the portion 11 due to the weight of the laptop computer 14 arranged on the portion 12.
  • the briefcase 10 may be transported, and thus used, like a bum-bag.
  • the briefcase 10 may be transported easily when under jackets or coats.
  • a partition 35 between the first and the second portion 11, 12 also constrained to the hinge 16 in such a manner to define with the first portion 11 an accommodation for sheets of paper or any other material.
  • the maximum inclination ⁇ provided for such partition 35 with respect to the first portion 11 is about 10°.
  • a clasp associated to the outer wall of the first portion 11 and shaped in such a manner to be able to be coupled to the belt of a user with the aim of optimally supporting the briefcase on the thorax thereof.
  • the laptop computer 14 firmly lies on the portion 12 of the briefcase 10 substantially horizontal thus allowing the user to comfortably use it even standing on one's feet or walking without the help of any external support surface.
  • the second portion 12 comprises a rigid flat bottom area, i.e. capable of bearing the weight of the laptop computer 14 without being deformed, and side containment edges which may be made of simple fabric possibly provided with metallic perimeter reinforcements.
  • the rigidity of the second portion 12 for containing the laptop computer 14 may be obtained by using rigid plastic material and an iron wire as a perimeter reinforcement.
  • the first portion 11 has at least partly rigid walls for anchoring the hinge coupling 16.
  • the briefcase 10 allows the user to comfortably use the laptop computer 14 with both hands given that there is no side hindrance interposed between the arms and the computer 14 itself.
  • Such elastic side belts 50, 51 may be arranged at the hinge 16, or at the distal areas of the two portions 11, 12 with respect to the hinge 16.
  • side belts 50, 51 may be rigid and provided with a central folding joint.
  • such side belts 50, 51 serve as means for blocking the rotation of the second portion 12 at a predetermined angle with respect to the first portion 11.
  • corner bands 52 may be provided for to obtain in the second portion 12 corner pockets 52 for restraining the corners of the laptop computer 14.
  • first portion 11 it may be thin, to provide a cover/closure of the second portion 12 to which the laptop computer 14 is constrained, or it may also be provided with lateral edges to define a compartment for containing the laptop computer 14 itself or for other material transported by the user, such as for example stationery placed in the respective pockets or accommodations.
  • first portion 11 does not have the purpose of supporting a laptop computer 14 during use thereof on one's feet, it may be made of soft material, such as simple fabric, without any particular reinforcement.
  • Figures 2B and 2C show an embodiment of a briefcase 10 according to the present invention in which the presence of a rigid support surface 31 moveably associated to the second portion 12 is provided for.
  • Such support 31 is moveable to allow directing and/or inclining the laptop computer 14 at will with respect to the second portion 12.
  • such moveable support 31 comprises a lower pin 32 moveable in a guide 33 provided in the second portion 12.
  • the moveable support 31 may be translated towards the external of the second portion 12, movement indicated with T1 in figure 2B , or rotated, as indicated with T2 in figures 2B and 2C , to position the laptop computer 14 at the ideal position preferred by the user.
  • Such provision is particularly advantageous when using thin laptop computers 14 of the touch screen type where the keyboard and monitor are integrated into a single component and where easily reaching each portion of the abovementioned screen is required.
  • Such embodiment provides for the presence of particular elements for restraining the touch screen laptop computer 14 at the operative position such as, for example, a pocket 30 arranged parallel and at the hinge 16 and two clip or clamp elements 34 arranged facing such pocket 30 for lateral fixing of the computer.
  • a band element 38 as shown in figure 7 , arranged parallel and at the hinge 16 selectively fixable and releasable, for example by means of a Velcro coupling 37, may be provided for.
  • the band element 38 selectively fixable and releasable by means of a Velcro coupling 37 may be arranged on the first portion 11 at the opposite position with respect to the hinge 16.
  • the band element 38 possibly cooperating with the corner bands 52 described previously, ideally restrains the computer arranged outside the briefcase 10.
