 The present invention consists of an upper board and a lower board, and the upper and lower boards surround the parallel hexagonal outer surface of the computer connected to each other in the side part, and at least one opening is designed in the side part to access the power part and the port at the rear of the computer. The present invention relates to a cloth and a conveying device for a portable computer.

This kind of device has already been developed (Patent Abstract of Japan vol. 2000, n °, Il). This document describes a carrying case for a portable computer. Conventional devices do not have access to the side and front of the computer, so the various plugs on the side had to be pulled out of the computer.

In addition, the computer is not secured to the carrying case nor equipped with an insertion handle.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a coating and carrying device for a portable computer that solves such problems. According to the present invention, a sliding groove is formed in the upper board and / or the lower board, and a sliding loop of a closed loop control method is inserted therein, and the sliding belt is slidably moved to fit the desired height so that the port of the portable computer (USB, RJ45), drives (DVD, CD, floppy drive), keyboard keys and mouse can be achieved freely regardless of the location of each model, regardless of the position can be achieved.

The sliding grooves are arranged to be parallel to each other in a straight line as possible.

Sliding belts give elasticity in any part to keep the portable computer in shape. The whole sliding belt may be designed to have elasticity.

Since the sliding belt is thin film type, the user can close the portable computer with the sliding belt fixed at the same position as when the user uses the portable computer.

From the above features, the device of the present invention has the following functions:

Keyboards and other drives (floppy drives, CDs, DVDs) can be fitted with a case or cover to any type of portable computer, even if they differ in shape, design, size, and layout.

-Sliding belts can be repositioned to keep all types of ports (USB, power supply, RJ45, printer, Ethernet, and other cards) and drives (floppy drives, CDs, DVDs) even when the portable computer is stationary. All keyboard keys and mice can be used regardless of the layout.

The case remains attached to the portable computer at all times, so there is no need to change the lock manually when working or closing the portable computer.

The parallel hexagonal board is designed in a plate-like structure, allowing free access to the sides of the computer, whether the computer is open or closed.

There are many additional advantages to the device of the present invention having such characteristics.

-Protect your portable computer from scratches and other damage that may occur on the exterior surface.

-When using or transporting a portable computer, the cover is always attached to the computer, so you can use or transport the computer simply by opening and closing the computer. easy.

The thinner, lighter and more beautiful cover makes it easier to carry the portable computer ergonomically.

All ports (USB, power supply, RJ45, printers, Ethernet cards and other cards) and various drives (floppy drives, CDs, DVDs) attached to the portable computer can be used at any time with the carrying cover on the portable computer.

The board consists of several layers and has a storage space in which the handle can be inserted.

The sliding belt is designed in a closed loop type so that the inelastic portions of the belt are exposed and the elastic portion of the belt passing through the passage between the plates is not visible.

The end of the handle is wider than the hole of the storage space into which the handle is inserted.

In addition, the outer edge of the upper board is provided with a strap that prevents movement of the thickness side of the computer, and the end is very thin, which has the advantage of closing the computer.

In addition, the same thickness of the handle and the board to maintain the flat shape of the board, in particular, the product can be implemented differently to ensure the stability of the computer placed on the lower board.

It has the advantage that it can be moved to the ejected position by attaching a spring to the handle. The clip can hold the handle in the closed position. To remove the handle, apply pressure to the handle to release the clip. The handle then comes out under the pressure of the spring.

Devices can be implemented to allow the cover to stand vertically by installing reinforcement and protection zones with bearings mounted on the edges and outer surfaces of the board.

The side of the cladding and carrying device for a portable computer has one or more openings, which allows the use of power and ports on the back of the computer.

The product may be implemented by installing a vent 22 for improving ventilation of the computer on the lower board so that the processor can be cooled while air passes. There are many ways to make the vent, but one example is to cut the surface of the lower board and cover it with a fine guard net (24). This method has the advantage that the air inlet passage can be installed in front of the lower board.

For this purpose, the product can be realized by drilling holes in all plates according to the shape and location of the vents. The plate, in which the pores (net or porous) are partially formed, is characterized by being installed on the vent.

Fixtures can be installed on the lower or upper board surfaces to enable the product to be effectively stored even when the board is closed inside the cladding and transport device.

There are many ways to make a fastener, but one example is by installing a belt on the device and attaching a snap button on it. It also installs snap buttons at the same height on the opposite board, allowing snaps, scratches or other means (such as magnets) to be locked. When the cladding and conveying device is in the open position and the computer is in use, a portion of the belt integrated inside the board's inner surface moves smoothly over the board.

Sliding of the belt also allows the outer portion of the belt to extend so that the snap buttons engage with each other to close the sheath and conveying device.

In addition, the end portion of the belt integrated inside the inner surface of the board is wider than the belt form has the advantage that the belt is fixed to the inner surface of the board.

Other features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the description provided with the accompanying drawings.

1 is a front view of a portable computer cladding and carrying device according to the invention.

1a is a detailed view of the sliding belt.

FIG. 2 is a 3/4 rear perspective view of the covering and conveying device shown in FIG. 1.

3 is an exploded perspective view of the coating and conveying device according to the invention.

1 and 2 illustrate the overall appearance of a cladding and conveying device for a portable computer consisting of a lower board 4 and an upper board 6. The lower board 4 is for wrapping the bottom of the computer and the upper board 6 serves to cover the top of the computer (not illustrated in the figure). The lower part 4 and the upper part 6 of the board are connected to each other via side portions 8 of round or fully planar form. The side part is provided with at least one opening 10 (two openings in the example shown) and one or more zippers and / or scratches, which occupy part or all of the zone (not illustrated in the figure). In the figure is a square opening 10, but other shapes are possible. The openings enable the use of power and ports on the back of the computer.

The parallel hexahedral boards 4 and 6 are manufactured in a plate-like structure in which the narrow side 12 and the wide side 14 of the portable computer can be freely used.

In the example shown, at the outer edge of the parallel hexahedral top board 6, a thin strap 16 is provided which suppresses the movement of the thickness side of the portable computer so that the portable computer can be locked without moving the fixing device. The parallel hexagonal lower board 4 can also be embodied such that the strap is mounted on the outer edge.

A sliding strap (3) at the bottom of the top board attaches the case to the computer so that there are no gaps.

The sliding method is used to adjust the belt so that the belt does not hang over the bottom of the monitor without disturbing the user from viewing the monitor.

The device of the present invention is also provided with side sections 8 and zones for reinforcement and protection applications such as rubber feet on the outside, so that the covering and conveying devices can be stored vertically.

One slide-type handle 36 is mounted on the upper side of the lower board 4 and the upper board 6 so that the outer portion of the handle 36 can be easily pulled out when carrying a portable computer. . The handle 36 attaches to the inner surface of the board as it retracts, adding a fresh and aesthetic appearance to the coating and conveying device. In Fig. 1 the handle is illustrated in a retracted position in the lower board 4 and in a protruding position in the upper board 6. As can be seen in Figures 1 and 2, the lower board 4 has two sliding grooves arranged in parallel to each other vertically, of course, may be implemented in other ways. The sliding fastening belt 42 (see FIG. 1A), which suppresses the movement of the thickness surface of the portable computer, slides into two sliding grooves 40 and is locked until the next operation instruction of the loop is indicated. Accordingly, a part of the sliding belt 42 protrudes above the lower board 4 and the other part is positioned below the lower board 4. The belt 42 includes an elastic portion 44 having a function of extending the sliding belt and adjusting the shape and size of the computer to accommodate the computer.

As can be seen in the figure, since the two sliding grooves 40 are greatly expanded by the height of the lower board 4, it is possible to adjust the belt in a position where the belt does not interfere with the computer or the port. . The belt should be made thin enough to close the portable computer while keeping the belt in the same position as the user would use the computer.

3 is an exploded view of the various layers that make up the coating and conveying device of the present invention. As can be seen in the drawing, the device is separated by six different layers: an outer leather layer 46, an inner leather layer 48, a thin plate 50 through which the strap passes, and a soft stiffener 54 made of a hinge to prevent gap formation. It consists of two reinforced plates 52. In addition, one lower protective thin plate is placed between two reinforcing plates 52 and the leather outer wall 46, and one upper protective thin plate is installed between the string passing plate 50 and the two reinforcing plates 52. As can be seen from the figure, each of the handles 36 has two branches 60 with a distal end 62 having a wider finish. When the handle branch 60 is inserted into the storage space 64, the handle 36 can be pushed in and taken out while being pushed. The storage space 64 has a pruned cut portion 66 for holding the handle tip 62 in the storage space 64. The function of the protective foils 56, 58 is to prevent abrasion and deformation of the outer coating layer, such as layers 46, 48 made of leather, due to the pressure that occurs when the hand grabs and pulls outwards to remove or retract the handle. The protective thin plate 58 also serves to prevent the elastic portion 44 from being worn and severely removed in the process of removing or inserting the handle. In addition, by mounting a reinforcing bar 68, such as glass fiber to the handle to enhance the function of the handle 36 to prevent deformation due to the weight of the computer when the handle 36 is lifted by hand.
