Description

Briefcase for transport and support laptops

Technical sector of the invention

The present invention relates to a briefcase for the transport and support of laptops, of the type of those that comprise a rigid housing, adapted to contain and support a portable personal computer, and an articulated lid by means of hinge to the housing.

Background of the invention

A good number of embodiments of briefcases and briefcases adapted for laptops (" laptop " or " desktop " type) are known in the art, provided with a housing for the location of a portable personal computer, a cover articulated by means of hinge to the housing, and a handle and / or a carrying and carrying strap.

Some of these embodiments incorporate a Hardcover and wheels for more comfortable transportation, such as by example described in JP10290703, in which the hard cover it serves as support for the computer monitor, and the case is provided with computer power supplies.

In most of the prior art the computer must be placed on a desk, a work table or on the skirt if such surfaces are not available, such as it happens for example, in the waiting times in airports, which It causes discomfort.

To solve this discomfort, the request US2007159781 discloses a laptop bag-backpack that has a folding table, with also folding legs. Table and legs are they hide inside the bag-backpack, adapted in its form and compartmentalization to these elements. At least  part of the legs are fixed inside the bag-backpack

There are, however, some drawbacks with the embodiments of the state of the art. First, in the bag of the US2007159781, the assembly is somewhat cumbersome and complex, and the bag is necessarily bulky. In addition, none of the embodiments of the technique allows to obviate the need for have to remove the computer from the bag or other briefcase, to be arranged on the folding table, operation that can result cumbersome

The present invention aims at solve these problems by providing a briefcase whose features and improvements allow to provide an economy of time, greater comfort and greater simplicity of manufacture.

Explanation of the invention.

To this end, the purpose of this invention is a briefcase for the transport and support of computers laptops, new design and functionality, which in essence is characterized in that it comprises folding legs, hinged to the rigid housing below it, between a folded position, in which they are retracted in a housing of the housing, and a deployed position, in which the separation distance between both legs deployed is enough for each of them stay next to the thighs of a seated person, and supported on the seat, being determined a support table for a laptop when the lid is opened.

According to another feature of the present invention, said legs are extensible, preferably telescopically

According to another feature of the briefcase of the invention, the hinge means are constituted by a weakening of the shell's own constituent material and the top.

According to a preferred embodiment, the briefcase comprises a handle and / or a carrying and carrying strap, preferably integral with the lid.

According to another feature of the invention, the briefcase comprises means for generating electric power, for laptop power.

It will be seen that, once opened, the briefcase itself It is a constitutive part of the computer support table.

Finally, the possibility that the case incorporates a lectern in inclined plane of support for the computer, which has holes ventilation for computer cooling, and that is supported on the inner face of the rigid housing.

Detailed description of the drawings

In these drawings it can be seen that the briefcase 1, particularly designed for the transport and support of laptops, is constituted, in a way itself known, for a rigid housing 2, adapted to contain and support a portable personal computer (not shown), and a cover 3 articulated by means of hinge 4 to the housing 2.

According to the invention, the briefcase 1 it comprises folding legs 5; 6, hinged to the housing 2 rigid, below it, between a folded position (Figs. 1 and 2), in which they are retracted in a housing 7, visible in the  Figs. 4 and 6, of the housing 2, and an unfolded position (Figs. 3, 4, 6 and 7), in which the separation distance between both legs 5, 6 deployed is enough for each of them to be at one side of the thighs of a person sitting, and resting on the seat, being determined a support table for a computer portable when lid 3 is opened. Fig. 5 shows the legs 6 in an intermediate position, partially deployed between Both positions

In Figs. 2, 3, 4 and 7 illustrate a realization of the briefcase 1 in which the legs 5 are monolithic, in so much that in Figs. 5 and 6 illustrate an alternative, in which 6 legs are telescopically extensible. In the latter case, the legs 6 have telescopic sections 61, 62 and 63, and with a lower support portion 64.

In Figs. 4, 6 and 7 it can be seen that the media hinge from the housing 2 to the cover 3 are constituted by a weakening 4 of the constituent material of the housing 2 and the cover 3.

The briefcase 1 is provided with a grip handle 8 and transport, arranged in cover 3, placement that facilitates the opening of briefcase 1, which may have an alternative or in addition to a shoulder strap and transport.

In Figs. 4 and 7 it is appreciated that briefcase 1 it comprises means 9 for generating electricity, for the laptop power, which can be a battery Flat 9 of conventional type.

The junction 11 between the housing 2 and the cover 3 for the case can be closed by means of a zipper.

In Fig. 7 it can be seen that briefcase 1 incorporates a lectern 12 in inclined plane of support for the computer, both when the briefcase is open and when it is closed, and that is supported on the inner face of the rigid housing 2. The music stand 12 has ventilation holes 13 for Computer cooling

Describe sufficiently the nature of the The present invention, as well as how to implement it, is states that everything that does not alter, change or modify its fundamental principle, is subject to variations in detail.
