In general, the strap may be one or more other types of materials suitable for receiving and supporting a laptop.

With reference to FIG. 5, the first end 133 of the first strap 132 is formed of an interior wall 120 (eg, a wall close to the main compartment 104) at the center of the top of the secondary or laptop compartment 110. May be attached to the upper seam. The upper seam may be reinforced with the pipe structure 121 in some embodiments. The first end of the first strap may, on the other hand, be bound inside the wall at the outside of the luggage or in the auxiliary compartment. The first end 137 of the second strap 136 is the first end 141 of the third strap 140 is the outer wall 124 (wall or inner wall of the secondary or laptop compartment very far from the main compartment). (120) on the inner surface of the opposite wall). These ends can be attached spaced apart in the lateral direction, which can be defined for example by the lateral width of the outer wall of the auxiliary compartment equally or unequally by 1/3. 5, for example, the first end 133 of the first strap 132 may be defined as a vertical axis located in the center between the side edges of the secondary compartment, and of the second strap 136. The first end 137 may be attached to the outer wall 124 at about halfway between the left edge of the secondary compartment 110 and the vertical axis, and the first end 141 of the third strap 140 may have a secondary compartment. It is bound to the outer wall 124 at approximately halfway between the right edge of the 110 and the vertical axis. This particular position of the strap serves as a support which is generally evenly spaced about the central vertical axis for the laptop housed in the compartment.

Straps may be permanently secured to their connections at the interior and exterior walls 120 and 124 of the secondary or laptop compartment 110. However, in other embodiments, one or more straps 132, 136, 140 may be adjustablely connected to the wall. Similarly, the lengths of the straps 132, 136 and 140 will be described in detail below, as are the positions of the straps 132, 136 and 140.

The first, second, and third straps 132, 136, 140 may be attached to the inner or outer walls 120, 124 of the luggage 100 in one of several different fashions, respectively. As described above, the first end 133 of the first strap 132 may be attached to the inner wall 120 along the upper seam reinforced with the pipe structure 121. In another embodiment, the first end 133 of the first strap 132 is attached to the inner side of the inner wall 120 at a point remote from the seam. Moreover, in some embodiments, the inner wall 120 may comprise a lining in this embodiment, and the first end 133 of the first strap 132 is bound to the inner wall 120 via lining, or The first end of the first strap 132 may be attached to the lining.

The first ends 137, 141 of the second and third straps 136, 140 are, in some embodiments, an outer wall surface of the secondary or laptop compartment 110 at a point remote from the seam of the secondary or laptop compartment 110. 124 may be attached, and if the outer wall 124 includes a lining, the first ends 137, 141 of the second and third straps 136, 140 may be attached to or attached to the lining. have. In another embodiment, the lining may include an opening or incision through which the first ends 1376 and 141 of the second and third straps 136 and 140 may be located therethrough and may be attached to the outer surface. . Further, in some embodiments, the first ends 137, 141 of the second and third straps 136, 140 may be fastened through the outer wall 124 with rivets extending to the front pocket compartment 112, for example. . Further, in some embodiments, the outer wall 124 can include one or more slits or openings through which the first ends 137, 141 of the second and third straps 136, 140 can pass, In this case, the second and third straps 136 and 140 may be fastened to the outer side of the outer wall 124, and may be fastened to the outer wall of the front pocket compartment 112, or elsewhere. In general, the first, second and third straps 132, 136, 140 may be attached to (or through) the inner and outer walls 120, 124 of the luggage 100, respectively, in any suitable manner.

The second end 138 of the second strap 136 and the second end 142 of the third strap 140 may be coupled to the second end 134 of the first strap 132 at the intersection 146. have. In some embodiments, the second end 138 of the second strap 136 and the second end 142 of the third strap 142 are at least partially overlapping each other such that an equilateral trapezoidal intersection 146 or interface And a second end 134 of the first strap 132 may be attached thereto.

The second end 134 of the first strap 132 may be bound to either the top or bottom surface of the intersection 146. In addition, the fourth strap 144 may be similarly attached to the intersection 146. The trapezoidal cross point 146 can be reinforced by a trapezoidal reinforcement member (polypropylene board, aluminum sheet, etc.), for example covered by one or both sides with a cover material (PVC vinyl patch, leather patch, etc.). Can be. The first, second, third and fourth straps 132, 136, 140, 144, like any stiffener or cover material, may be bound by any suitable means such as, but not limited to, sewing and pasting.

5, the fourth strap 144 may be a pull tab in some embodiments. For example, the fourth strap 144 may be roundly looped and both ends of the strap 144 may be attached to the intersection point 144. As another example, a single end of the fourth strap 144 may be engaged at the intersection 146, so that the other end of the fourth strap may be free for the user to use to pull the laptop 180. have. This will be described in detail below.

The first strap 132, the second strap 136, the third strap 140, and the fourth strap 144 together form a suspension and access structure 130, which is a haptop () within the luggage 100. 180) (or laptop case 182) allows the user to safely adjust. It also makes it easy to retrieve your laptop safely stored in your luggage.

FIG. 6 is a partial cutaway perspective view of the luggage 100 illustrated in FIG. 1, as a result of the upward force F applied to the fourth strap 144 by the straps 132, 136, 140, 144 of the laptop suspension and entry system 130. It illustrates the rise. In the elevated position, the system 130 allows the user to retrieve the laptop by grasping the laptop 180 from the secondary or laptop compartment 110 in its structure (this is indicated by the dashed line in FIG. 6, the laptop 180). ) Appears to be grabbed by the user).

5 to 8, the vertical position and length of the straps 132, 136, 140 and 144 will now be described. In some embodiments, the first strap 132 may be slightly longer than the fourth strap 144, for example at least 2 cm (when the fourth strap 144 is folded along itself to form a pull tab, And when one end of the fourth strap is free).

This makes it possible to seal the fourth strap 144 in the secondary or laptop compartment 110 while the laptop 180 is securely stored in the compartment 110. And allows the fourth strap 144 to extend beyond the top of the laptop 180 to facilitate the fourth strap 144 from engaging when the user removes the laptop 180. The fourth strap 144 and the first strap 132 may be long enough for the laptop 180 or to rise sufficiently so that the laptop can be grabbed by the user by removing it from the laptop compartment 110.

5-8, the first end 137 of the second strap 136 and the first end 141 of the third strap 140 are for example 2 cm less than the length of the first strap 132. Ideally, the outer wall 124 may be bound to the outer wall 124 of the laptop compartment 110 at a point vertically high (measured from the bottom of the secondary or laptop compartment 110). In other words, the height of where the first end 137 of the second strap and the third strap 136, 140 is bound to the outer wall 124 is greater than the length of the first strap 132. This relative length keeps the bottom of the suspension from locking the bottom of the compartment when the laptop is mounted.

In addition, the lengths of the second and third straps 136 and 140 are generally the same as the heights of the secondary and laptop compartments 110. In embodiments where the lengths of the second and third straps 136, 140 are substantially the same as the height of the secondary or laptop compartment 110, the first ends 137, 141 of the second and third straps 136, 140 may have an outer wall 124. ) And the height is greater than the length of the first strap 132. This structure allows the laptop 180 to be suspended on the bottom of the compartment 110 relative to the second strap and the third strap 136, 140 if the second strap 136 and the third strap 140 securely store the laptop 180. And a hammock-type resting place for the laptop 180 is created. This may provide a suspension gap 150. The laptop is thus not in direct contact with the bottom of the laptop compartment 110 or luggage 100 and on the other hand the laptop 180 (or other electronic equipment) from damage that may occur when dropping or transporting the luggage. Sophisticated parts inside can be protected. The gravity of the bag falling by suspending the strap from the sidewall can be weakened or dampened by the elasticity (resilience) of the sidewall to which the strap is operatively attached, and this cushioning effect will help protect the laptop. No special cushioning material is needed. In general, the length of the second and third straps 136, 140 is generally the same as the length of the secondary or laptop compartment 110, and the suspension gap is generally the first end 137, 141 of the second and third straps 136, 140. ) May be the difference between the height at which the secondary or laptop compartment 110 is coupled to the outer wall 124 and the length of the first strap 132.

5 to 8, the second strap 136 and the third strap 140 are attached at a height vertically higher than the length of the first strap 132 on the outer wall 124 as follows. This guarantees certainty. That is, when the upward force F is applied to the fourth strap 144, the intersection point between the fourth strap 144, the first strap 132, the second strap 136, and the third strap 140 is also upward. And then pulled upward until the second and third straps 136 and 140 are fully extended (as in FIG. 6), and then the laptop 180 is pulled into the second and third straps. It slides along (136,140) and rises up.

5-8, the straps 132, 136, 140, 144 may be secured to the laptop compartment 110 and their connections to one another in some embodiments, while in other embodiments, one or more straps 132, 136, 140, 144 may be unadjustable. It is possible that such adjustments can be made by the user to fit the height of the suspension gap 150 of the laptop suspension and entry system 130, for example. Even though the straps 132, 136, 140 and 144 cannot be adjusted, the heights of the suspension gaps 150 are different from each other in length, and the straps 132, 136 and 140 are fastened to different heights in the vertical direction of the auxiliary or laptop compartment 110. Can be controlled by For example, if the second and third straps 136,140 are shorter than the height of the secondary or laptop compartment 110, the second and third straps 136,140 are suspended from the laptop suspension and entry system over the appropriate suspension gap 150. The length of the first strap 132 (and possibly the length of the fourth strap 144) will be increased to allow the laptop 180 to lie in the central portion of the. In addition, the appropriate ends of the first, second and third straps 132, 136, 140 may be attached regardless of whether the second ends 134, 138, 142 of the first, second, and third straps 132, 136, 140 are attached to the top or bottom of the intersection point 146. The length can be determined.

With reference to FIG. 7, there is illustrated a cross-sectional view of the suspension and entry system of the luggage 100 with the laptop 180 suspended in the secondary or laptop compartment 110, according to lines 7-7 of FIG. 5. In this accommodated or suspended position, the straps 136 and 140 bind the laptop and the laptop 180 is supported by the second and third straps for safe storage. In addition, in this position, the fourth strap 144 is allowed to enter and exit so that a user can grasp and pull up. When the user grasps the fourth strap 144 with a finger and pulls it up, the second and third straps 136 and 140 slide against the laptop, so that the second or third straps 144 slide at the same speed as the fourth strap 144 is pulled up. Force the laptop to exit above and outside the laptop compartment 110.

FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of the suspension and entry system 130 of the luggage 100 on which the laptop 180 along the line 8-8 in FIG. 6 is lifted. In this position, the user can grab the laptop 180 and remove the laptop from the secondary or laptop compartment 110.

The laptop 180 can be inserted into the laptop compartment 110 when the straps 132, 136, 140 are up (eg, see FIG. 8) or when the straps are in a suspended position (eg, FIG. 7). If the straps 132, 136, 140 are raised when the laptop 180 is inserted, the second and third straps 136, 140 slide against the laptop 180 to be inserted into the compartment 110, and the laptop 180 is The straps 136 and 140 are pushed down until suspended in the secondary or laptop compartment 110. If the straps 132, 136, 140 are in a suspended position when the laptop 180 is inserted, the laptop 180 is directed downward along the second and third straps 136, 140 until it is securely suspended in the compartment 110. Will slide.

With reference to FIG. 9, the secondary or laptop compartment 110 is partially open and the laptop 180 is securely stored in the laptop compartment 110 with the laptop 180 sealed in a laptop case or sleeve 182. In addition, the fourth strap 144 is visible to allow the user to retrieve the laptop case 182. In this configuration, the laptop suspension and entry system 130 is returned to the laptop compartment 110 in place as illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 7 and described above.

An upward force F is applied to the fourth strap 144 and the intersection 146 between the straps 132, 136, 140 and 144 is pulled upward, with the second strap 136 and the third strap 140 and the laptop case (182) comes with it. In particular, when the fourth strap 144 is pulled upward, the intersection 146 between the first, second, third and fourth straps 132, 136, 140, 144 is forced upward, and is bound to the intersection 146. The first ends 137, 141 of the second strap 136 and the third strap 140 are forced upward and the laptop case 182 slides against the lowest point of the second and third straps 136, 140. Forced, the laptop case 182 is partially forced out of the laptop compartment 110 so that the user can hold the laptop case 182 and remove it from the secondary or laptop compartment 110. As the fourth strap 144 is pulled upwards, the lowest points of the second and third straps rise from the compartments and the suspension gap increases, causing the straps to move the laptop upwards and out of the compartments.

FIG. 10B shows that the straps 132, 136, 140, 144 of the laptop suspension and entry system 130 are fully extended to allow the user to grasp the laptop case 182 and retrieve from the secondary or laptop compartment 110. If you look carefully, you will be able to remove the laptop from the compartment even if the strap is not fully extended.
