Abstract
A computer holder has a protective case and a conformable backing which is attached to the case. The case holds the computer, and the backing can be formed as a soft membrane or as an accordion-like bellows. The case may also include a feature for redirecting sound toward the user. The space within the backing can be selectively filled with small filling materials, a low viscosity fluid or a gas such as air, or may include a storage space. A two way valve, cap or handle can be attached to the backing to allow for a variation of the backing's fill level and shape. The computer holder can also serve as a bag, having a strap attached to the case and a pocket formed in the backing. The holder may also include a sound bar which can also function as a handle.
Claims20
A carrying bag holder for storing a computer and personal objects and supporting the computer on a surface while being operated, the computer having a front screen side, a back housing side and peripheral sides and corresponding corners, comprising:
- a case with an attachment portion connected to the computer, wherein said case has a pair of longitudinal sides and a pair of lateral sides;
- a conformable backing connected to said case, wherein said conformable backing extends from said longitudinal sides and from said lateral sides to a distal end away from the case in a converging arrangement, wherein said conformable backing comprises a center of gravity between said distal end and said case, and wherein said conformable backing is comprised of a plurality of conformable sides in said converging arrangement, said plurality of conformable sides comprising an upper side and a lower side extending from said longitudinal sides of said case and further comprising a pair of opposing sides extending from said lateral sides of said case and connected to said upper side and said lower side;
- and
- a pocket formed in said conformable backing, wherein said pocket holds the personal objects within said conformable backing, wherein an opening to said pocket is formed in said upper side of said conformable backing, wherein said lower side of said conformable backing rests on the surface, and wherein said opposing sides support said attachment portion of said case and the compute acute angle relative to the surface.
A carrying bag holder for storing a computer and personal objects and supporting the computer on a surface while being operated, comprising:
- a case with an attachment portion connected to the computer, wherein said case has a pair of longitudinal sides and a pair of lateral sides;
- a backing connected to said case, wherein said backing extends from said longitudinal sides and from said lateral sides to a distal end away from the case in a converging arrangement, wherein said backing comprises a center of gravity between said distal end and said case, wherein said backing is comprised of a plurality of sides in said converging arrangement, wherein at least one of said sides rests on the surface and other ones of said sides support said case and the computer at an acute angle relative to the surface;
- and
- a compartment formed in said backing, wherein said compartment comprises an opening in at least one of said sides and further comprises a closure attached to one of said sides proximate to said opening, wherein said compartment holds the personal objects within said backing.
A carrying bag holder for storing a computer and personal objects and supporting the computer on a surface while being operated, the computer having a front screen side, a back housing side and peripheral sides and corresponding corners, comprising:
- a case with an attachment portion releasably connected to the computer, wherein said case has a pair of longitudinal sides and a pair of lateral sides;
- a conformable backing fixedly connected to said case, wherein said conformable backing extends from said longitudinal sides and from said lateral sides to a distal end away from the case in a converging arrangement, wherein said conformable backing comprises a center of gravity between said distal end and said case and provides a fulcrum for the carrying bag holder on the supporting surface, wherein said center of gravity is proximate to said fulcrum, wherein said conformable backing is comprised of a plurality of conformable sides in said converging arrangement, said plurality of conformable sides comprising an upper side and a lower side extending from said longitudinal sides of said case and further comprising a pair of opposing sides extending from said lateral sides of said case and connected to said upper side and said lower side, wherein said lower side rests on the surface, wherein said upper side is further comprised of an opening facing away from said lower side and facing away from the surface when said lower surface rests on the surface, and wherein said opposing sides support said case and the computer at an acute angle relative to the surface;
- a compartment formed in said conformable backing, wherein said compartment holds the personal objects within said conformable backing;
- a carrying handle attached to at least one of said case and said conformable backing;
- and
- a cover connected to at least one of said case and said conformable backing, wherein said cover extends over the computer.
