ABSTRACT:
In its closed configuration, a portable workstation housing resembles a closed attache case. A lid, having opposed sidewalls and a top, and a planar base, having little or no peripheral lip, are separated by a narrow spine. The lid pivots through a range of up to 180 degrees relative to the base and upper portion of the spine. A lid support element is pivotable between a first position flush to the housing and a second position perpendicular to the lid which supports the weight of the lid when fully open. The base supports a portable computer by means of releasable fasteners. A fastener having a first sex of VELCRO is attached by adhesive to the bottom of the computer and a fastener having a second sex of VELCRO is attached to the base, allowing the computer to be held in place for use and transit. Similarly, a printer, disk drives, modems, ac-converters and other peripherals are held in place. A printer is typically carried by the lid. Elongate VELCRO cord wraps, having a covering of a first sex of VELCRO on one side and a second sex of VELCRO on the opposite side are attached and one end to the housing, and are used to wrap and organize the many power and data cords. A power strip, having a power cord that is retractable into a spool, is carried within the portable workstation housing and provides power to the computer and all peripherals.
