ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a business case or luggage item designed for carrying a personal computer and other business items including folders, small calculators and writing instruments.
Business travelers increasingly travel with their personal computer. A personal computer often requires some additional components such as extra batteries, electric connectors, and the like for use at a remote business site. Additionally, the business traveler often desires to include paper folders, writing instruments, and other business items, preferably in the same convenient and compact briefcase used to carry a personal computer. An assembly of such items often is bulky and heavy. Thus, there has developed a need for a case which conveniently carries such items in a compact and protected manner. This need, among others, inspired the development of the present luggage item.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In a principal aspect, the present invention comprises a business case which includes a telescoping handle, a carrying handle, a strap and three adjacent compartments with the center compartment designed for carrying a personal computer and the side compartments designed for carrying other items and which may serve as a protective layer, or buffer, for the center compartment. The case or luggage thus includes a first, generally parallelpiped side compartment which serves as the foundation for the case and which includes the telescoping handle as well as paper file retainers. The center compartment is hinged to the first or outside compartment along their bottom edges. The center compartment includes padded internal sides which are attached by straps to retain a personal computer. The third compartment comprises a pouch which is attached to the opposite side of the middle or second compartment and provides for storage of various items such as pencils, recorders, address books and other items in an organized fashion.
Thus, it is an object of the invention to provide a wheeled computer and business case.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a computer case which includes a telescoping handle for ease of transport while additionally including a handle and strap for carrying the case.
Another object of the invention is to provide a personal computer case which provides enhanced protection of the computer against damage and buffeting.
Another object of the invention is to provide an improved personal computer and business case which includes separate compartments for a personal computer, business files, and other items, all in an organized fashion.
These and other objects, advantages and features of the invention will be set forth in the detailed description which follows.
