ABSTRACT:
A shoulder strap for carrying a notebook computer is formed as an elongated member with a locking mechanism at a first end which attaches to the lock slot of the computer and a loop at the opposite end. By passing the strap through the loop, the opposite end portion of the strap is positioned around the computer adjacent the side opposite the side which includes the lock slot. With the first end of the strap secured to the computer by securing the locking mechanism at the computer lock slot, the intermediate portion of the strap extends over the users shoulder to enable transport of the computer. By forming the strap using a plastic coated steel cable, the shoulder strap may be used for both carrying the computer and as a security cable for securing the computer when unattended. The shoulder strap surfaces that engage the user's shoulder and surround and engage the notebook computer are formed of non-adhesive, non-slip material. In an alternate embodiment, to more positively secure the strap portion surrounding the computer, hook and loop tape is applied to both the strap portion engaging the computer and the computer side over which the assembled strap passes, so that the strap can be prevented from slipping off the computer when assembled for transport.
