Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a waterproof case for portable computers having a structure in which computers can be operated in a stored state.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 For example, the case of a personal computer is conventionally manufactured by sewing or high-frequency welding, and has a structure in which the case is opened and operated when used. For this reason, it was not possible to prevent the invasion of water droplets in rainy weather or other situations where water might intrude, and if used, there was a risk that the computer itself and software would break down or be damaged.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a case having weather resistance by blocking intrusion of water.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention forms a case composed of a main body in which computers are accommodated and a lid covering the operation unit side by molding a resin, and a radiating port for releasing heat of the computers in the main body. The cover is formed with a window that is closed with a transparent plate that allows the operation unit side of the computers to be seen through.The main body and the cover are hinged at a part of the periphery, and other This is a part that can be opened and closed by attaching a waterproof fastener to the part.

[0005] A protective cover is provided on the outside of the window so as to be undulating, and can be used as a light shielding plate for the window when standing up. In addition, a communication port for connection with an external device or the like can be provided at a joint between the main body and the lid.

[0006]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 The waterproof case A according to the present invention has a structure in which the computers C can be operated in the housed state.

The case A itself includes a main body 10 formed by resin molding and accommodating the computers C, and a lid 20 covering the operation unit side. The main body 10 is provided with a concave portion 11 for accommodating the computers C, and a radiating port 12 for releasing heat generated by the computers C is provided at an appropriate position. In the illustrated example in which the main body 10 is formed into a hollow double structure by double molding, the heat radiating port 12a inside the main body has a large area, and the heat radiating port 12b on the outside has many small ones. A window 21 is formed in the lid 20 so that the operation unit side G including the display unit D of the computers C can be seen through. The window 21 is closed by a transparent plate 22 in a watertight manner. The lid 20 is also illustrated as a double hollow structure, but has a window 21 and thus has a frame shape.

The molding method is arbitrary, but the molding can be performed by a vacuum molding method, a pressure molding method, a press molding method or the like. Therefore, both the main body 10 having the concave portion 11 and the lid 20 provided with the transparent plate 22 in a watertight manner have perfect waterproofness, and have a heat insulating property and a shock absorbing property due to the hollow structure. ing. The transparent plate 22 is made of a flexible material so that it can be operated with a finger or a pen touch from above, and is attached to the edge of the window 21 in a watertight manner. Reference numeral 13 denotes an insert, which is provided in a hollow portion of the main body 10. See FIG.

The main body 10 and the lid 20 are hinged at a part of the peripheral edge, and a waterproof fastener 30 is attached to the other part of the peripheral edge so as to be opened and closed. The hinge structure 28 is optional, and in the illustrated example, a durable and water-resistant sheet piece 29 is attached to the main body 10 and the long side of the lid 20. The fastener 30 has waterproofness by lining the waterproof sheet 31. When the main body 10 and the lid body 20 thus combined are closed, the frame-shaped edges come into contact with each other. In this contact portion, a fitting structure including the concave portion 14 and the convex portion 24 can be provided.

A protective cover 25 can be provided on the outside of the window 21 so as to be able to undulate. The protective cover 25 has a size that fits into the recess 23 around the window, and a protective plate 26 made of a flexible material for protecting the computers C can be provided inside the transparent cover 22 so as to be able to contact the transparent plate 22. . The protective cover 25 is provided on the lid 20 using a hinge piece 32. When the protective cover 25 falls down, the protective cover 25 is fitted to the recessed portion 23 so as not to travel outside, and is stopped by a stopper 33 made of a tape-like detachable piece. Sometimes the desired angle is maintained by a support device.

In the illustrated supporting device, the protective cover 25 for the light-shielding function and the lid 20 are connected by left and right connecting pieces 34, and further, the lower end is attached to the lid side, and the upper end 35 a contacts the protective cover 25. It has left and right support pieces 35 which can be raised and lowered so as to support the protection cover 25 at an arbitrary angle depending on the contact position. Therefore, when the protective cover 25 is put down on the operation unit 36 by placing a finger on the operation unit 36, the support piece 35 stopped in the middle of the coupling piece 34 is caused as the coupling piece 34 elongates, and the upper end 35a of the support piece 35 The protective cover 25 moves while being in contact with the inner surface of the protective cover 25, and is engaged with a locking groove 37 provided at a key position, thereby maintaining an arbitrary inclined state. See Figures 2, 5 and 6. That is, the rising angle of the protection cover 25 can be changed according to the rising angle of the support piece 35.

Further, a communication port 40 for connection to an external device or the like is provided at a location on the periphery of the case where the main body 10 and the lid 20 are connected. The communication port 40 can be formed even if an opening is provided in the connecting portion. However, two sliders 41 are provided in the waterproof fastener 30 and a gap formed therebetween is defined as the communication port 40. Can be. Reference numeral 42 denotes a recess for the communication port 40, which is provided in a frame-shaped portion of the main body 10. Closing pieces 43 and 44 are provided on the main body 10 and the lid 20 outside the same portion 42, and the both closing pieces 43 and 44 are attached and detached by a tape-shaped stopper 45.

[0013] Case A has portable means. The illustrated portable means is a shoulder belt 19, which is used by being attached to a hook 18 provided at a key point. Reference numeral 46 denotes a mounting portion for a writing implement 47 or the like.

[0014]

[Effect of the invention]

 Since the present invention is constructed and operates as described above, the main body and the lid are connected with a waterproof zipper and a hinge, and the window provided on the lid is closed with a transparent plate. Therefore, the device is water-resistant and the main unit can be operated from above (outside) the transparent plate. If it is used, it can continue to be used without fear of flooding, and it has the effect that it is less likely to cause problems because the heat dissipation port is provided in the main body for the heat of the computers.

Further, by providing the protective cover on the outside of the window so as to be able to undulate, the light shielding property for the display unit is provided and the shock resistance is also improved. Further, by providing a continuous port for connection to an external device or the like at the joint between the main body and the lid, the device can be connected to other devices even under adverse conditions and used in the same manner as under normal conditions.
