Description

A COMPUTER SYSTEM

The present invention relates to a computer system, and more particularly to a computer system that facilitates the handling and storage of the keyboard.

Rapid changes in the computer environment have led to continuous improvements in the hardware of computers, leading to the multifunctionalization of computer systems. Such changes are required not only for the software, but also for the mechanical structure of the computer system. Therefore, the structural design of the computer system should be designed considering the convenience of the user as well as the convenience of production.

1 is a perspective view showing the configuration of a general computer system.

Referring to FIG. 1, a typical computer system 100 includes a computer body 110, a monitor 120, and a keyboard 130. The user places the computer main body 110, the monitor 120, and the keyboard 130, which is an input device, on the desk 140. As shown in FIG. 1, it can be seen that the keyboard 130 occupies a large space in the desk 140.

In such a computer system, the keyboard has many problems in handling and storage.

In such a computer system, the keyboard has various problems in handling and storage. First, the keyboard 130 was left on the desk 140 even while the computer system 100 was not used for a long time. Accordingly, foreign matters such as dust, water, and clips may flow into the buttons 132 of the keyboard 130. For example, these foreign matters cause a decrease in the function of the keyboard 130.

Second, since the keyboard 130 takes up a lot of space on the desk 140, it is very inconvenient for the user to perform other tasks on the desk 140. Therefore, in order to alleviate this inconvenience, the user has to take the hassle of placing the keyboard 130 placed on the desk 140 on the monitor 120 or the computer main body. Another method was to purchase a computer-only desk that could hold the keyboard in a separate drawer to solve keyboard handling and storage problems. However, there is a problem in that a separate computer desk is expensive to purchase.

The present invention has been made to solve such a conventional problem, and an object thereof is to provide a new type of computer system that facilitates storage and handling of the keyboard when the computer system is not used for a long time or temporarily.

According to a feature of the present invention for achieving the above object, a computer system is slidably coupled to a computer body, a keyboard, and the computer body, and means for supporting the keyboard to be stored in a standing state on the computer body. It includes.

In this invention, the supporting means has a keyboard holder which can be stored / retracted from / to the computer main body, and can hold the keyboard upright on the side of the computer main body in the extracted state.

In this invention, the keyboard holder includes a horizontal portion coupled to the bottom surface of the computer body, and a vertical portion formed extending from one end of the horizontal portion and located on the side of the computer body; The horizontal portion has a guide slot of a predetermined length for sliding of the keyboard holder.

In this invention, the supporting means adds a stopper means for fixing the position when received / retracted from / to the bottom surface.

In the present invention, the keyboard holder is coupled to the main body by at least one screw coupled to the main body through the guide slot, and slides.

In this invention, the keyboard holder has a handle portion that allows the user to easily store / draw it.

In this invention, stopper grooves are formed at both ends and the middle portion of the guide slot of the keyboard holder, and when the keyboard holder is accommodated in the bottom surface, one end and the middle portion close to the vertical portion of the guide slot. Further comprising a screw coupled to the body through each.

According to the present invention, the keyboard is placed in the keyboard holder while standing on the side of the computer body. In other words, when the user does not use the computer for a long time, the user can use the space occupied by the keyboard efficiently by storing the keyboard on the side of the computer main body.

Hereinafter, a computer system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2 to 8. In the drawings, the same reference numerals are given to components that perform the same function.

2 is a perspective view showing the configuration of a computer system according to an embodiment of the present invention. 3 is a perspective view illustrating a state in which the keyboard holder is mounted to the computer main body of FIG. 2.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the computer system 10 consists of a computer body 20, a keyboard 30, and a keyboard holder 40. The keyboard holder 40 has a function of supporting the keyboard 30 so that the keyboard 30 can be stored in a standing state on the computer main body. The keyboard holder 40 is slidably coupled to the computer body 20. For example, the keyboard holder 40 may be stored in the computer main body 20 and withdrawn from the computer main body 20. The keyboard holder 40 consists of an L-shaped plate having a horizontal portion 42 and a vertical portion 44. The horizontal portion 42 is coupled to the bottom surface 22 of the computer body 20 with a screw 60. Guide slots 46 are formed in the horizontal portion 42. This guide slot 46 is for the slide of the keyboard holder 40. Meanwhile, the vertical portion 44 extends from one end of the horizontal portion 42. This vertical portion 44 is located on the side face 24 of the computer body 20. A handle 48 is formed at the vertical portion 44 of the keyboard holder 40. The handle 48 is for allowing the user to easily store / draw the keyboard holder 40. For example, the handle 48 may be formed in any part of the keyboard holder 40.

Referring to FIG. 4A, screw holes 26 are formed in the bottom surface of the computer body 20. The screw holes correspond to one end and a middle portion of the guide slot 46 adjacent to the vertical portion 44 when the horizontal portion 42 of the keyboard holder 40 is received on the bottom surface 22. It is formed on the bottom surface. The screws 60 are fastened to the screw holes 26 through the guide slots 46, respectively.

4A and 4B are partial bottom and cross sectional views showing the keyboard holder withdrawn from the computer body;

If the computer system 10 is not used for a long time, the keyboard is stored as follows. First, the user pulls the handle 48 of the keyboard holder 40 to draw the keyboard holder 40 from the bottom surface 22 of the computer body 20. The keyboard 30 may be placed on the keyboard holder 40 in an upright state. The keyboard 30 is stored in an upright position on the side surface 24 of the computer body 20 as shown in FIG. On the other hand, if necessary, the user can use the keyboard 30 stored in the keyboard holder 40 on the desk 70 at any time. If the user is using the keyboard 30, the keyboard holder 40 is pushed to the bottom surface of the computer main body 20. 5A and 5B illustrate the state in which the keyboard holder is accommodated in the bottom surface of the computer main body.

FIG. 6 is a bottom view illustrating an operation for preventing the keyboard holder from being randomly moved in the state of FIG. 4A.

Referring to FIG. 6, stopper grooves 50 are formed at both ends of the guide slot 46 and a middle portion thereof. The stopper grooves 50 are intended to prevent any movement when the keyboard holder 40 is withdrawn / received from / to the bottom surface 22. That is, when the keyboard holder 40 is pulled out from the bottom surface 22, when the keyboard holder 40 is rotated in the a direction, the screws 60 are positioned on the stopper groove 50. In this state, the keyboard holder 40 cannot be arbitrarily stored or withdrawn.

Meanwhile, the keyboard holder 40 according to the present embodiment may be manufactured in various forms by pressing and mold processing. Fig. 7 is a perspective view showing a modification of the keyboard holder, in which the keyboard holder 40 'shown in Fig. 7 is manufactured by mold processing.

When the present invention is applied, when the computer is not used for a long time, the keyboard can be stored in the keyboard holder, thereby effectively utilizing the space of the desk. In addition, the configuration for storing the keyboard upright is very simple and easy to combine and detach. And because the keyboard is kept upright, it prevents debris from entering between the keyboard buttons.
