View Patent ↗The present invention provides a protective structure for shipping a projection device. The protective structure includes a carrying case, an impact resistant intermediary case, and a substantially rigid outer case. The carrying case may include a plurality of compartments including a first compartment adapted to receive a projection device and a second compartment adapted to receive an accessory for a projection device. At least one of the compartments may be associated with a unique identifier. The unique identifier also may be associated with a projection device accessory and further may be associated with an attachment point on the projection device.
1. A protective structure for shipping a projection device, the protective structure comprising:
a reusable carrying case having a carrying handle comprising:
a plurality of compartments wherein at least one of the compartments is associated with a unique identifier, the unique identifier corresponding to an attachment point on the projection device, the plurality of compartments including:
a projection device compartment adapted to receive the projection device;
an accessory compartment adapted to receive an accessory;
an impact resistant intermediary case adapted to receive the carrying case; and
a substantially rigid outer case adapted to receive the intermediary case.
2. The protective structure of claim 1 , wherein the unique identifier is a color.
3. The protective structure of claim 1 , wherein the unique identifier is an icon.
4. The protective structure of claim 1 , wherein the carrying case further comprises a moveable divider separating the projection device compartment from the accessory compartment.
5. The protective structure of claim 1 , wherein the accessory compartment is associated with a first Identifier and is adapted to receive a first accessory having a matching identifier.
6. The protective structure of claim 1 , wherein a first accessory is adapted to mate with a first attachment point on the projection device, the first attachment point having an identifier that corresponds with the first accessory.
7. The protective structure of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the intermediary case is transparent, and where the transparent material portion of the intermediary case reveals at least a portion of the carrying case.
8. A protective structure for shipping a projection device, the protective structure comprising:
a carrying case comprising:
a plurality of compartments wherein at least one of the compartments is associated with a unique identifier, the plurality of compartments including:
a projection device compartment adapted to receive the projection device;
an accessory compartment adapted to receive an accessory;
an impact resistant intermediary case'adapted to receive the carrying case;
a divider separating the projection device compartment from the accessory compartment wherein the divider includes a transparent pocket enclosing an instruction sheet; and
a substantially rigid outer case adapted to receive the intermediary case.
9. The protective structure of claim 8 , wherein the instruction sheet is viewable upon opening the carrying case.
