Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hull or protective cover for a laptop, intended to protect the latter against shocks that may occur during its transport or use.
  • Such covers or protective shells are traditionally made of a bottom and a lid, possibly equipped with shock absorbing or damping means integrated within their inner face, that is to say their face intended to come into contact with the computer.
  • a peripheral skirt of flexible material, and typically fabric extends between the cover and the bottom, said skirt being closed by a means to ensure access to the interior of the useful volume defined by the combination of the bottom and lid, including the laptop (see for example the documents US2003 / 0217940 or EP 1069493 ).
  • this skirt extends only on three consecutive sides of the hull, that is to say the two lateral sides and the front face, and not at the level of the rear face of the hull, traditionally devolved to the hinge area of the lid on the bottom, or on an intermediate element, and in addition, generally left open, to allow accessibility to the connection areas of the different peripherals that can cooperate with the drinking computer, of the mouse type , ... power cord on the domestic sector, etc.
  • some of the protective covers can not therefore provide a seal to the useful volume they define, precisely because of the preservation of this accessibility to the rear face of the hull. protection, imperative to be able to fully use the laptop it is supposed to protect.
  • the covers of the prior art comprise two parts forming half-envelopes, which are always mutually connected by a hinge or the like, so that one can not detach them from one another.
  • it is sometimes desirable to be able to separate them for example to replace cheaply a bottom or a damaged or worn cover or to form assemblies aesthetically different patterns and / or renewed colors (e) s.
  • a protective cover for a laptop comprising a bottom and a cover, each consisting of a plate made of a rigid material or not, said shell being provided with at least one peripheral skirt extending substantially from at least the peripheral edge the bottom or the cover, the free edge of said skirt being intended to cooperate with the free edge of a complementary skirt or with the vicinity of the periphery of the bottom or the cover, ie of the element without a skirt by means of a closing and opening member, so as, on the one hand, to close the useful volume of the shell, and on the other hand, to ensure access to the interior of said useful volume, and especially to the laptop. It is characterized in that said skirt extends over the entire periphery respectively of the bottom and the lid, and in that the bottom can be completely detached from the lid.
  • the invention consists in providing the protective shell with an integral peripheral envelope and, as a corollary, providing this envelope with a reversible closure means that is also integral or quasi-integral, said means extending continuously. over the entire length of the envelope.
  • the bottom can be completely detached from the lid.
  • the constituent plates of the bottom and the lid are solid or perforated.
  • said plates can be flat or curved, and in the latter case, have a concavity or convexity.
  • the lid and the bottom of the protective shell are connected to each other on the posterior face by means of pillars, extending perpendicularly with respect to the general plane of the plates which constitute them, and reported, in particular on the bottom by gluing, sewing or any other means near the two posterior angles.
  • they define a through-light at the level of the posterior surface, allowing access to the different connection zones of the rear face of the portable computer, this through-light being reversibly closable by the peripheral skirt (s) or envelope of the 'invention.
  • the cover and the bottom of the protective shell are connected to each other, in the rear face by means of a wall, extending perpendicularly with respect to the general plane of the plates which constitute them, and reported, in particular on the bottom by gluing, sewing or any other means in the vicinity of the two posterior angles, said wall being pierced with one or more through orifices, adapted to allow accessibility at the rear surface of the computer and therefore to the different connection areas of said rear face of the laptop, this or these through lights being closable reversibly by the peripheral skirt or skirts of the invention.
  • the reversible closure means is constituted by a zipper, a plastic slide, a self-gripping tape, or even magnetic joints, and generally by any means allowing such a reversible closure.
  • the protective shell of the invention basically consists of a bottom (2) and a cover (3), also called “flap", both consisting of a flat plate of a rigid material or not, such as for example in synthetic material, and in particular plastic, metal, wood ....
  • These two plates, possibly dressed with fabric, or even possibly openwork, are of dimensions at least equal to the main dimensions (length, width) of the volume that the we want to define, and therefore corresponding to the game, to the volume of the laptop that the shell in question is intended to protect.
  • a peripheral peripheral skirt (4, 5), made of a flexible material, typically fabric, and intended to form a peripheral envelope clean to seal the internal volume of the shell.
  • This resulting envelope is obtained by activation of a reversible closure means, typically a zipper (6) secured to the free edge of the two skirts (4, 5), and extending on all four sides of the protective shell of the invention.
  • a reversible closure means typically a zipper (6) secured to the free edge of the two skirts (4, 5), and extending on all four sides of the protective shell of the invention.
  • this zipper (6) secures to one another the two skirts (4, 5) over the entire periphery of the shell, including the rear face.
  • the bottom and the cover are connected to each other only by the envelope, and therefore constitute two completely independent entities.
  • Such a configuration using a completely independent lid and detachable bottom can be useful in particular when the shell is intended to protect against shocks, a tablet PC, that is to say a type of computer integrating on a same element, including plan, means of interaction and a screen.
  • the invention it is possible to completely separate the two envelopes constituting the protective shell. To do this it is preferable to use a plastic zipper, of the type used to bag food.
  • the bottom and the lid are secured to each other at least in the posterior area, by means of rear pillars (7, 8) positioned substantially in the vicinity of the two rear corners of the bottom plate.
  • These pillars for example made of polypropylene, extend perpendicularly to the bottom plate at a height substantially corresponding to the thickness of the computer that the resulting shell is intended to receive. They are secured on the latter by gluing, sewing or by any other means.
  • These pillars may be replaced by a wall (not shown), having one or more through lights.
  • the upper end of said pillars has a tab (9) extending parallel to the bottom plate, and intended to be fixed, in particular by gluing or stitching at the corresponding posterior edge of the plate. lid.
  • This tab is rigid, so that the cover plate is pre-worked, to allow the opening and closing of said cover at a virtual hinge, extending parallel to said posterior edge, but slightly below this last.
  • the two rear pillars (7, 8) define an area free of any material, thus constituting a through-light extending substantially over the entire rear surface of the protective shell, and allowing free access to all connection areas. traditionally present at the back of a laptop.
  • these zones are capable of being closed by means of the envelope constituted by the aforementioned skirts (4, 5).
  • the bottom plate (2) is also provided with anterior pillars (10), made of a material identical or similar to that constituting the rear pillars (7, 8), and also reported by gluing, sewing or any other means. They are intended to fight against the possible risks of crushing the hull.
  • peripheral rims protruding from the lateral faces substantially corresponding to the envelope defined by the skirts (4, 5).
  • These peripheral flanges (11, 12) are thus likely to constitute impact damping means intervening at this level and statistically the most numerous.
  • the pillars may be replaced by a peripheral wall, also made of a rigid material, and extending perpendicularly to the bottom.
  • the height of this wall corresponds substantially to the thickness of the laptop to be integrated into the shell.
  • This wall is provided with a number of through lights positioned at appropriate locations, to allow accessibility to the connection means, in addition to the insertion areas of floppy disks or CD ROMs in a possible floppy disk drive or CD ROM.
  • the invention makes it possible to confer the required seal on the protective shells, using simple means to implement, while allowing easy accessibility to the different connection areas, which is provided with a laptop. Moreover, by its design, it also makes it possible to provide said shells with projecting peripheral rims at the level of the lateral faces defining them, suitable for constituting as many damping or shock absorbing means as may affect the hulls. question.
