Abstract
Disclosed is an assembly to hold the angular position of a display panel relative to the bag front to which it is pivotally attached. The display panel is attached to the bag so it can pivot flat against the bag front or away from the bag into the line of sight of the computer operator/bag wearer. The display back and bag front have holders meant to match the ends of a prop bar which extends between the two. There are three embodiments; 1) a rigid bar between the two holders, 2) a semi-rigid bar held pivotally with the first holder and the opposite bar end sliding through the second holder with friction to hold the display panel position, 3) a rigid bar held pivotally with a first holder having a hinge with friction to hold the display panel position and the opposite bar end sliding along the second holder.

A self-contained, wearable computer comprising:
- a) a bag having a front wall and a top wall including a top opening for providing access to the interior of the bag wherein each wall has an inside surface and an outside surface;
- b) one or more prop holders located on the outside surface of the front wall of said bag;
- c) a display panel with a front side, an opposite back side, and an attachment edge, wherein a display is located on the display panel front side;
- d) one or more prop holders located on back side of the display panel;
- e) a pivoting computer equipment mount attaching the display panel to the bag so that the display panel may pivot on a horizontal axis from a storage position parallel to and adjacent to the exterior of the bag's front wall to an operating position away from the bag front with the display in the line of sight of an operator/wearer;
- and
- f) a prop positioned between one or more display panel prop holders and one or more bag prop holders to temporarily hold the display panel at one or more angles relative to the bag front.
