Mesa para ordenador portátil Laptop table

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

La presente invención se refiere a una mesa para ordenador portátil, cuya evidente finalidad es la de constituir un medio de soporte para usar con comodidad y eficacia un ordenador portátil, siempre que no se disponga de una mesa tradicional. The present invention relates to a laptop table, the obvious purpose of which is to provide a support means for using a laptop computer comfortably and efficiently, provided that a traditional table is not available.

El objeto de la invención es permitir que el usuario de un ordenador portátil pueda utilizar éste con total comodidad en cualquier lugar, ya sea sentado en un sofá, sentado en un autobús, tren o cualquier otro medio de locomoción, en un lugar o sala de espera, etc, con una máxima estabilidad para dicho dispositivo. The object of the invention is to allow the user of a laptop to use it with total comfort in any place, whether sitting on a sofa, sitting on a bus, train or any other means of locomotion, in a place or room wait, etc., with maximum stability for said device.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Es un hecho que el uso del ordenador portátil es cada vez mas frecuente, y de hecho son innumerables los usuarios, tanto directivos de empresas como estudiantes o usuarios cualesquiera, que llevan consigo un ordenador portátil y que pueden utilizar en cualquier momento y lugar. It is a fact that the use of the laptop is becoming more frequent, and in fact there are countless users, both managers of companies and any students or users, who carry a laptop with them and can use at any time and place.

Ahora bien, el uso del ordenador portátil sobre una mesa convencional, es cómodo puesto que el usuario estará sentado en una silla y el ordenador a la altura apropiada. However, the use of the laptop on a conventional table is comfortable since the user will be sitting in a chair and the computer at the appropriate height.

No obstante, cuando el usuario utiliza el ordenador portátil en, por ejemplo, un sofá, una cama, un transporte público, una sala de espera, un parque, etc., la posición para el usuario es incomoda, independientemente de que se verá constantemente sometido al calor que emite el ordenador en su funcionamiento, puesto que dicho ordenador portátil queda apoyado sobre las piernas del usuario. However, when the user uses the laptop in, for example, a sofa, a bed, a public transport, a waiting room, a park, etc., the position for the user is uncomfortable, regardless of whether it will be constantly seen subjected to the heat emitted by the computer in its operation, since said laptop is resting on the user's legs.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

La mesa que se preconiza ha sido concebida para resolver la problemática anteriormente expuesta y constituir un accesorio transportable y plegable, que permite al usuario utilizarla como soporte del ordenador portátil en cualquier lugar, permitiendo a dicho usuario realizar las consultas o trabajos pertinentes de forma cómoda y sin verse afectado por el calor que emite el propio ordenador. The table that has been recommended has been designed to solve the above-mentioned problem and constitute a portable and foldable accessory, which allows the user to use it as a support for the laptop anywhere, allowing said user to carry out the relevant queries or work in a comfortable and convenient way. without being affected by the heat emitted by the computer itself.

Mas concretamente, la mesa que se preconiza se constituye a partir de un pequeño tablero con una superficie antideslizante, cuyo tablero lógicamente tendrá unas dimensiones aproximadas a las de un ordenador portátil, presentando dicho tablero por su cara inferior una pareja de patas de apoyo que divergen hacia la parte inferior y se curvan para determinar zonas arqueadas de apoyo sobre cualquier superficie, quedando las dos patas dispuestas entre las piernas del usuario, lo que proporciona una comodidad para éste que además ve que su ordenador puede estar soportado en el tablero de la mesa y ser utilizado con comodidad y eficacia, sin que el calor del ordenador pase a las piernas de dicho usuario, puesto que ese calor será absorbido por el tablero. More specifically, the table that is recommended is constituted from a small board with a non-slip surface, whose board will logically have approximate dimensions to those of a laptop, said board presenting on its lower face a pair of supporting legs that diverge towards the bottom and curved to determine arched areas of support on any surface, leaving the two legs arranged between the user's legs, which provides comfort for the user who also sees that his computer can be supported on the tabletop and be used with comfort and efficiency, without the heat of the computer passing to the legs of said user, since that heat will be absorbed by the board.

Las patas están montadas de forma basculante para permitir su plegado bajo el tablero, e incluso están dotadas de una articulación o abisagramiento transversal a las mismas, para que una vez plegadas bajo el tablero, seguir plegándose por la parte superior o inferior de dicho tablero, quedando así un cuerpo total de escaso grosor totalmente plegado y que puede ser transportado con comodidad y sin que ocupe gran volumen. The legs are mounted in a tilting way to allow folding under the board, and are even provided with a joint or hinge transverse to them, so that once folded under the board, continue to fold down the top or bottom of said board, leaving therefore a total body of little thickness totally folded and that can be transported with comfort and without occupying large volume.

Dichas patas presentarán una angulación entre ellas de aproximadamente 10º para adaptarse así a las piernas del usuario, además de presentar unos topes fijos en la cara inferior del tablero para impedir que las patas se plieguen hacia el interior, sino que el plegado de las mismas se realice únicamente bajo el tablero pero hacia el exterior del mismo. Said legs will have an angulation between them of approximately 10 ° to thus adapt to the user's legs, in addition to presenting fixed stops on the underside of the board to prevent the legs from folding inwards, but that the folding thereof is perform only under the board but out of it.

En definitiva, se trata de una mesa con dos finalidades fundamentales, una como medio soporte y estabilizador de un ordenador portátil, y otra evitar la transmisión del calor que emite el ordenador a las piernas del usuario. In short, it is a table with two fundamental purposes, one as a support and stabilizer for a laptop, and another to prevent the transmission of heat emitted by the computer to the user's legs.

En una variante de realización el tablero puede estar materializado por una especie de caja de escasa profundidad con tapa superior para permitir alojar en su interior el propio ordenador, permitiendo así su transporte manual formando conjunto con la mesa en cuestión. In a variant embodiment, the board can be materialized by a kind of shallow box with a top cover to allow the computer itself to be housed inside, thus allowing its manual transport forming together with the table in question.

Las patas, además de plegarse como anteriormente se ha dicho, pueden ser rígidas o semirígidas, para que en el segundo caso pueda llevarse a cabo el segundo plegado sobre la parte superior o inferior del tablero de la mesa sin necesidad de articulación o abisagramiento entre partes de las patas. Es decir que en este caso de patas semirígidas, éstas serían deformables para poderse plegar totalmente sin necesidad de abisagramientos o articulaciones. The legs, in addition to folding as previously mentioned, can be rigid or semi-rigid, so that in the second case the second folding can be carried out on the top or bottom of the tabletop without the need for articulation or hinged between parts of the legs. In other words, in this case of semi-rigid legs, they would be deformable so that they could be folded completely without the need for hinges or joints.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

Como se puede ver en las figuras referidas, la mesa de la invención se constituye a partir de un tablero As can be seen in the aforementioned figures, the table of the invention is constituted from a board

(1) cuyas dimensiones se corresponderán aproximadamente con las de un ordenador portátil convencional (2), como se representa en la figura 5, de manera que la superficie superior de dicho tablero (1) tendrá un material antideslizante, bien sea goma o pintura, para evitar que el ordenador (2) deslice y por lo tanto quede éste perfectamente estable cuando se apoya y se usa sobre el tablero (1) de la mesa. (1) whose dimensions will correspond approximately to those of a conventional laptop (2), as shown in Figure 5, so that the upper surface of said board (1) will have a non-slip material, be it rubber or paint, to prevent the computer (2) from sliding and therefore it is perfectly stable when it is supported and used on the tabletop (1).

De la cara inferior de dicho tablero (1) emergen dos patas (3) que se proyectan con una ligera divergencia y una angulación entre ellas, de manera tal que esas patas (3) presentan un tramo inferior u arqueado (3’) como apoyo de las mismas sobre la superficie correspondiente, siendo esas patas (3) plegables hacia el exterior del tablero (1) y por debajo del mismo, existiendo una pareja de topes (4) en correspondencia con los medios de basculamiento o de plegado de las patas (3), para evitar precisamente el que éstas puedan plegarse hacia el interior, ya que tales patas (3) en su plegado y recogida sobre el tablero (1) pivotarán o bascularán hacia el exterior, quedando adosadas a la cara inferior del tablero, como se representa en la figura 3. Two legs (3) emerge from the underside of said board (1), projecting with a slight divergence and an angulation between them, so that those legs (3) have a lower or arcuate section (3 ') as support thereof on the corresponding surface, those legs (3) being foldable outwards of the board (1) and below it, there being a pair of stops (4) in correspondence with the means of tilting or folding the legs (3), to avoid precisely that they can be folded inwards, since such legs (3) when folded and collected on the board (1) will pivot or swing outwards, being attached to the underside of the board, as depicted in figure 3.

Dichas patas (3) pueden ser deformables para que los sectores o tramos extremos (3’), por deformación, sigan plegándose por la cara superior del tablero (1), tal y como se representa en la figura 4. Said legs (3) can be deformable so that the sectors or extreme sections (3 ’), due to deformation, continue to fold along the upper face of the board (1), as shown in Figure 4.

Asimismo, se ha previsto que los tramos extremos (3’) de las patas (3) puedan estar relacionados con éstas a través de un abisagramiento o articulación, para permitir su plegado sobre la cara superior del tablero (1). Likewise, it is envisaged that the extreme sections (3 ’) of the legs (3) may be related to them through a hinge or joint, to allow folding on the upper face of the board (1).

En cualquier caso, dichas patas (3) con sus sectores extremos (3’) quedan plegados y de forma coplanaria con el tablero (1), ocupando un mínimo volumen, como se representa en la figura 4, ya que es un cuerpo prácticamente plano que puede ser transportado con facilidad, incluso en un portafolios, para poderse utilizar en cualquier momento y lugar. In any case, said legs (3) with their end sectors (3 ') are folded and coplanarly with the board (1), occupying a minimum volume, as shown in Figure 4, since it is a practically flat body It can be easily transported, even in a briefcase, to be used at any time and place.

De acuerdo con el ejemplo de realización de las figuras 8 y 9, las citadas patas (3) podrán ser de un 5 material rígido, y presentar una estructura a base de eslabones articulados (3’’) en proximidad a sus extremos libres, de manera que estas se plieguen tal y como muestra la figura 9. According to the embodiment of figures 8 and 9, said legs (3) may be of a rigid material, and have a structure based on articulated links (3 '') in proximity to their free ends, of so that they fold as shown in figure 9.

El tablero (1) podrá incluir un ala abatible (7), en orden a definir un apoyo para el ordenador portátil. Asimismo puede el tablero girar noventa grados para quedar en posición vertical para soportar distintos ordenadores de cualquier configuración. The board (1) may include a folding wing (7), in order to define a support for the laptop. Likewise, the board can rotate ninety degrees to be upright to support different computers of any configuration.

10 En el uso de la mesa para servir de soporte al ordenador (2), basta con desplegar las patas (3), con los tramos extremos (3’) y situar esas patas entre las piernas del usuario, quedando perfectamente adaptadas debido a la angulación entre esas patas (3) y a la curvatura de los sectores extremos (3’) sobre los que precisamente apoyarán las piernas, quedando así perfectamente estable el conjunto de la mesa, para poder disponer sobre ella el ordenador (2) y poder utilizar éste en cualquier lugar y momento. Dichas patas pueden ser de configuración de ele, es decir formando un 10 When using the table to support the computer (2), it is enough to deploy the legs (3), with the end sections (3 ') and place those legs between the user's legs, being perfectly adapted due to the angulation between those legs (3) and to the curvature of the extreme sectors (3 ') on which the legs will precisely rest, thus being perfectly stable the whole table, to be able to arrange on it the computer (2) and be able to use it Anytime, anywhere. Said legs may be of ele configuration, that is to say forming a

15 ángulo de noventa grados en vez del arqueado, cumpliendo así la misma función. 15 angle of ninety degrees instead of arched, thus fulfilling the same function.

Como ya se ha dicho, en una variante de realización, el tablero puede estar constituido por una especie de caja (5) de escasa profundidad, la suficiente para albergar en su interior un ordenador (2) cerrado, de manera que la caja (5) para el ordenador contará con la correspondiente tapa (6), quedando ésta sujeta cuando se pliegan las patas (3) y concretamente los sectores (3’) extremos de la misma, que quedan situados sobre la superficie superior de la tapa (6) As it has already been said, in a variant embodiment, the board can be constituted by a kind of box (5) of low depth, enough to house inside a closed computer (2), so that the box (5) ) for the computer it will have the corresponding cover (6), this being held when the legs (3) are folded and specifically the end sectors (3 ') of the same, which are located on the top surface of the cover (6)

20 impidiendo así la apertura de la caja donde se albergará el ordenador (2) cerrado, para poder transportar éste con total comodidad, sin ocupar volumen alguno, mas que el que proporciona el propio ordenador con todo el conjunto plegado, y poderse utilizar en cualquier lugar y en cualquier momento. 20 thus preventing the opening of the box where the closed computer (2) will be housed, to be able to transport it with total comfort, without occupying any volume, more than that provided by the computer itself with the entire folded set, and can be used in any place and at any time.

Cabe destacar que la mesa puede tener las patas fijas, formando una mesa no plegable. It should be noted that the table can have fixed legs, forming a non-folding table.
