Multi-positionable notebook computer case
View Patent ↗A carrying case for an electronic device, such as a tablet personal computer, is provided, and more specifically a case that allows a user to selectively position a display screen of the tablet personal computer by rotation coupled with angular support. The case is easily adapted for use with many types and models of personal electronic devices and may be utilized to view the display screen in a plurality of orientations.
1. A case adapted for storing and selectively positioning an electronic device in a plurality of positions, comprising:
a base panel with an inner surface, an outer surface, and at least four outer edges;
a cover panel operably interconnected to said base panel, with an inner surface, an outer surface, and at least four outer edges for covering said base panel;
at least one pocket integrated into said inner surface of said cover, wherein said pocket is adapted to secure writing instruments;
a supporting mechanism having an upper end and a lower end, said lower end operably interconnected to said inside surface of said base panel, wherein said supporting mechanism is capable of a first non-inclined position which is substantially parallel to said inner surface of said base, and at least a second inclined position;
an attachment mechanism adapted for removable interconnection with the electronic device; and
a rotation mechanism operably interconnected to said supporting mechanism and said attachment mechanism, wherein said attachment mechanism is adapted to rotate about an axis wherein the electronic device is capable of rotation at least about 90 degrees.
2. The case of claim 1 , wherein said attachment mechanism is adapted for use with a tablet personal computer.
3. The case as in claim 1 , further comprising a closure mechanism for selectively securing said base panel to said cover panel.
4. The case of claim 1 , wherein the material of said cover panel and base panel are predominately compliant.
5. The case of claim 1 , wherein said attachment mechanism comprises a plurality of resilient arms which are selectively deflectable to allow interconnection and release of the electronic device.
6. The case of claim 1 , wherein said attachment mechanism includes at least an attachment plate and a fastening device for operable interconnection to said rotating mechanism, said fastening device comprising at least one of a bolt, a screw and an adhesive.
7. The case of claim 1 , wherein said rotating mechanism includes a locking mechanism, wherein said locking mechanism is capable of selectively securing the electronic device in at least two distinct positions of use.
8. The case of claim 1 , further comprising a second rotation mechanism operably interconnected to said base panel and said supporting mechanism, wherein said supporting mechanism is adapted to rotate at least about 90 degrees about a substantially vertical axis.
9. A case adapted for storing and selectively positioning an electronic device in a plurality of positions, comprising:
a base panel with an inner surface, an outer surface, and at least four outer edges;
a cover panel operably interconnected to said base panel, with an inner surface, an outer surface, and at least four outer edges for covering said base panel;
at least one sleeve integrated into said inner surface of said cover that is adapted to secure a plurality of sheet materials;
a supporting mechanism having an upper end and a lower end, said lower end operably interconnected to said inside surface of said base panel, wherein said supporting mechanism is capable of a first non-inclined position which is substantially parallel to said inner surface of said base, and at least a second inclined position;
an attachment mechanism adapted for removable interconnection with the electronic device; and
a rotation mechanism operably interconnected to said supporting mechanism and said attachment mechanism, wherein said attachment mechanism is adapted to rotate about an axis wherein the electronic device is capable of rotation at least about 90 degrees.
10. The case of claim 9 , wherein said attachment mechanism is adapted for use with a tablet personal computer.
11. The case as in claim 9 , further comprising a closure mechanism for selectively securing said base panel to said cover panel.
12. The case of claim 9 , wherein the material of said cover panel and base panel are predominately compliant.
13. The case of claim 9 , wherein said attachment mechanism comprises a plurality of resilient arms which are selectively deflectable to allow interconnection and release of the electronic device.
14. The case of claim 9 , wherein said attachment mechanism includes at least an attachment plate and a fastening device for operable interconnection to said rotating mechanism, said fastening device comprising at least one of a bolt, a screw and an adhesive.
15. The case of claim 9 , wherein said rotating mechanism includes a locking mechanism, wherein said locking mechanism is capable of selectively securing the electronic device in at least two distinct positions of use.
16. The case of claim 9 , further comprising a second rotation mechanism operably interconnected to said base panel and said supporting mechanism, wherein said supporting mechanism is adapted to rotate at least about 90 degrees about a substantially vertical axis.
