FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is a handwriting network panel protection cover, especially the one that holds up the panel body for operation with the high friction between the protective cover and the soft cover strip as well as provides control buttons on either the left side or the right side in accordance with the requirements.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

With the coming of the digital times, heavy notebooks or jotters no longer become a necessity for outdoors. Substituted are personal digital assistants or handwriting network panels provided with several memorandum and network functions, allowing the user to store data and take along and operate at anytime, anywhere. In spite of the convenient mobility of personal digital assistants or handwriting network panels, the wear and tear during the trip still remains inevitable. In view of this, personal digital assistants or handwriting network panels on market are usually wrapped with a protective cover to protect themselves from damage. The protective cover, however, is no more than a safeguard to the personal digital assistant or the handwriting network panel, protecting them from damage.

In view of this, the traditional cover above still has many disadvantages and has much for improvement.

In view of the problems of personal digital assistant and handwriting network panel protection covers, the inventor of the present invention was devoted to finding a solution and accomplished structural improvement for the handwriting network panel protection cover.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The objective of the present invention is to provide a handwriting network panel protection cover with a cover strip on either side of the panel body to prevent external objects from getting into the socket on either side of the panel body.

Another objective of the present invention is to provide a handwriting network panel protection cover with a fold-up protective cover connected to the panel body that wraps the panel body when out of operation to protect it from damage.

Another objective of the present invention is to provide a handwriting network panel protection cover able to prop up the panel body with the soft cover strip on one side by placing it on the edge of the protective cover and props up the panel steadily for operation with the friction of the soft cover strip without slipping around.

Another objective of the present invention is to provide a handwriting network panel protection cover able to place the control buttons either on the right side or the left side in accordance with the user's operational habits, allowing the user to operate with his/her right hand or left hand.

The protective cover with the above objectives consists of one panel body, one hard cover strip, one soft cover strip and one protective cover, wherein the soft cover strip is placed on one side of the panel body with the hard cover strip on the other side. At the bottom of the hard cover strip is a slot for the positioning slice on one side of the protective cover to connect to, firmly combining one side of the protective cover with the hard cover strip. In the middle of the protective cover there is a folding line that makes the protective cover foldable. The protective cover is divided into the first compartment and the second compartment by the folding line, wherein the first compartment is where the panel body is placed. When out of operation, the second compartment of the protective cover is folded and placed over the panel body to cover and wrap the whole body, protecting it from any damage. During operation, the protective cover holds up the panel body with the soft cover strip on one side by placing it at the edge of the second compartment of the protective cover. The high friction of the soft cover strip prevents the panel body from slipping around, thus fixes and holds up the panel body for the user to operate. Besides, the control buttons on the panel body can be placed either on the right side or the left side, depending on the user's necessity, thus facilitates the operation for the user.

Please refer to FIGS. 1 and 2 for the handwriting network panel protection cover for the present invention that consists of the following: [0016]
One [0017] panel body 1 with a monitor 11 on the top, control buttons 12 on one side of the monitor 11, one positioning base 13, 14 with at least one screw hole 131, 141 and one socket 132, 142 on either side of the panel body 1;
One [0018] soft cover strip 3 containing a slip-resistant strip 32 is set on one side that provides slip resistance and one hole 31 sitting correspondingly to the screw hole 141 on the positioning base of the body 1, combing the soft cover strip 3 to the positing base 14 on one side of the body 1. The hole 31 corresponds to the screw hole 141 on the positioning base, allowing the screw 5 to pass through and lock the body up, thus combines the soft cover strip 3 steadily with one side of the panel body 1, preventing the socket 142 on the positing base 14 from damage. Furthermore, the soft cover strip 3 can be made of rubber or other soft materials with high friction;
One [0019] hard cover strip 2 whose bottom is equipped with one slot 21 and a slip-resistant strip 22 is set on one side, providing slip resistance. There is a hole 23 bored through the slot 21 corresponding to the screw hole 131 on the positioning base 13 of the panel body;
One [0020] protective cover 4 wherein two folding lines 42 corresponding to each other are set at the middle of the protective cover 4, dividing it into the first compartment 43 and the second compartment 44 with the fold-up function. On one edge of the first compartment 43 there are one positioning slice 41 and one female buckle 45, wherein the positioning slice 41 is provided with one circular hole 411 corresponding to the hole 23 on the hard cover strip 2. At the middle of the edge of the second compartment 44 there is one male buckle 46. The protective cover could be a leather cover, plastic cover or other materials;
Combing the [0021] hard cover strip 2 with the positioning base 13 on one side of the panel body 1 and the positioning slice 41 on the first compartment 43 of the protective cover 4 with the slot 21 of the hard, the hole 23 of the hard cover strip corresponds to the circular hoe 411 of the positioning slice and the screw hole 131 of the positioning base, allowing the screw 5 to pass through and fix the hard cover strip 2 and the positioning slice 41 firmly on the positioning base 13 on one side of the panel body 1, thus prevents the socket 132 of the positioning base 13 from damage. Furthermore, the panel body 1 placed on the first compartment of the protective cover 4 is kept from any wear and tear to the bottom of the panel body 1.
Please refer to FIG. 3 for the diagram about the first operation of the handwriting network panel protection cover for the present invention, wherein the fold-up function of the [0022] protective cover 4 allows the user to fold the second compartment 44 backward to cover on top of the panel body 1 and buckles up the male buckle 46 and female buckle 45 on the edge of the second compartment 44 and the first compartment 43 respectively when out of operation, wrapping the entire panel body 1 around with the protective cover 4 so as to facilitate the user to take along and protect the monitor 11 and the control buttons 12 of the panel body 1 from any wear and tear.
