Abstract

Portable, modular housing system for mounting and on-the-spot and parallel use of electronic and personal accessories through a connection-support mechanism which consists of two (or more) independent carriers, FIG. 7 (2, 3) which are connected together with a carrier-housing system, FIG. 1, through a connection-support mechanism, FIG. 6, 7a, which includes one or two brackets (18) respectively, the upper ends of which (24) are connected through one or more hinges (25) with the one carrier (2) while their lower ends (19) are connected similarly with the other carrier (3) enabling the independent rotational movement of each carrier (2,3) up to 360° degrees around the real or imaginary part-axis (28a, 23a) of the hinge/s (25, 20) which connects the ends of the bracket/s (18) with each carrier (2, 3). This way, a number of combinations of positions is achieved (fixed or not, depending on whether the hinges are frictional or not) between the entities (2, 3) FIG. 10,11, so that the user can select the positions they desire in order to use on-the-spot within the bodies and at the same time the specific objects placed-linked (electronic and personal accessories) at the specific locations-bases FIG. 2, whether they provide access with the housing system open FIG. 2, or they provide external access without having to open the housing system FIG. 4.5. Alongside, the system FIG. 12, given the possibility of detachment of some external and internal parts of it (26, 27) by sliding or plug process (28, 29) enables the user to intervene in an aesthetic and functional level modulating themselves the housing system according to their operational needs and aesthetic preferences.

Claims16

Dependent claims

A portable, modular housing system for storing and use of electronic and personal accessories when stored in the system, the system comprising:

a connection-support mechanism;
and
two independent carriers connected together through the connection-support mechanism, wherein
the two independent carriers comprising:
a first carrier, and
a second carrier,
the first carrier comprising:
two short first carrier sides,
two long first carrier sides, and
a first carrier surface, wherein
each of the lengths of two long first carrier sides are greater than each of the lengths of the two short first carrier sides, and
the first carrier surface is planer,
the second carrier comprising:
two short second carrier sides,
a first long second carrier side,
a second long second carrier side, and
a second carrier surface, wherein
each of the lengths of two long second carrier sides are greater than each of the lengths of the two short second carrier sides,
the two short second carrier sides are continuously curved, and
the second carrier surface is a continuously curved surface extending from the first long second carrier side to the second long second carrier side whereby creating an internal space for accommodating the storing and use of said electronic and personal accessories,
the connection-support mechanism comprising:
a first bracket, and
a second bracket, wherein
the first bracket has an upper end that is connected with the first carrier with a first hinge connection that allows the rotation of the first carrier about a first axis of rotation,
the first bracket has a lower end that is connected with the second carrier with a second hinge connection that allows the rotation of the second carrier about a second axis of rotation,
the second bracket has an upper end that is connected with the first carrier with a third hinge connection that allows the rotation of the first carrier about the first axis of rotation, and
the second bracket has a lower end that is connected with the second carrier with a fourth hinge connection that allows the rotation of the second carrier about the second axis of rotation;
a first side sliding tray connected to one of said two independent carriers, wherein
the first side sliding tray has a first position where the majority of the first side sliding tray is located within the internal space,
the first side sliding tray has a second position where the majority of the first side sliding tray is outside the internal space, and
the first side sliding tray extends away from the internal space from the first position to the second position.
