Definitions
- connection (3) between screen (2) and body (1) is realized via joint or sliding mechanisms or the combination of both, additionally other elements of the constructive connection (3) between screen (2) and body (1) can be realized flexible. In this way the screen of a laptop could be brought in a more convenient and ergo- nomic position for the user, the work at the computer would be less stressing, and muscle throes, caused by a bowed sit position could be avoid.
Abstract
The constructive connection between screen (2) and keyboard (6) / body (1) of usual portable computers (laptops) with f. e. only one hinge causes a unnaturally bowed sit position, because the screen is located very closed to the keyboard (6) and the user wants to bring his eyes on the height of the screen (2). In the new construction the screen (2) will be brought on the height of the eyes by a flexible constructive connection (3) between screen (2) and body (1) without undoing the constructive union of the whole computer unit and without reducing significantly the stability or handling of the laptop. The tecnical construction of the connection (3) between screen (2) and body (1) is realized via joint or sliding mechanisms or the combination of both, additionally other elements of the constructive connection (3) between screen (2) and body (1) can be realized flexible.

Constructive Connection to Alter the Distance between Body and Screen of Portable Computers
Description of the Invention
The connection between the screen (2) and the keyboard (6) or the body (1) of the usual portable computers (laptops) with f.e. only one hinge causes that the screen (2) is located much more nearer to the keyboard (6) than it is used in stationary computer units, where the screen is not connected mechanically withthe keyboard or the computer case. So the user is constrained to get in a unnaturally bowed sit position using his laptop to bring the eyes on the height of the screen - this can cause muscle throes or permanent infirmities. As it is not very practically to disconnect mecanically the screen (2) of a laptop of his body (1) (as it is useful at a stationary computer), it is much more convenient to design the connection (3) between the screen (2) and the body (1) more flexible to bring the screen (2) on the height of the eyes - without reducing significantly the stability or the handling of the portable computer.
The tecnical construction of the connection (3) between screen (2) and body (1) is realized via joint or sliding mechanisms or the combination of both, additionally other elements of the constructive connection (3) between screen (2) and body (1) can be realized flexible. In this way the screen of a laptop could be brought in a more convenient and ergo- nomic position for the user, the work at the computer would be less stressing, and muscle throes, caused by a bowed sit position could be avoid.
Claims
1. Constructive connection (3) between the body (1) and the screen (2) of a portable computer, characterised in that the screen can be brought in a greater distance to the keyboard (6) as it is yet possible by the usual mechanisms of portable computers, in which the body contributes an important function to the static of the screen fixture and the screen (2), the body (1) and the connection (3) are representing a constructive unit.
2. Constructive connection according to claimi ., characterised in that the constructive connection is realized as folding mechanism (3).
3. Constructive connection according to claim 2., characterised in that the constructive connection is realized as folding mechanism (3) with 3 joints (4) at each folding branch.
4. Constructive connection according to claim 2., characterised in that the constructive connection is realized as folding mechanism (3) with 2 joints (4).
5. Constructive connection according to claim 4., characterised in that the central part between the two (4) joints is designed as a plate (7), functioning at the same time as a sealing of the keyboard (6).
6. Constructive connection according to claim 5., characterised in that the screen (2) is located under the body (1), when the portable computer is folded (fig.3).
7. Constructive connection according to claim 3., characterised in that the folding mechanism is constructed with one branch (3).
8. Constructive connection according to claim 7., characterised in that the folding mechanism is constructed with one central branch (3) (fig.2).

11. Constructive connection according to claims 7., 8., 9. or 10., characterised in that the screen (2) is using the body (1) as support via the folding mechanism (3).
12. Constructive connection according to claims 7., 8., 9. or 10., characterised in that the part of the folding mechanism (3) nearer to the body (1) can shore up on a base plate and supports the part of the folding mechanism (3) nearer to the screen (2), to create a more stabile and balanced situation particularly for bigger and heavier screens - the branches are realized longer than in the constructive connection according to claim 6.
13. Constructive connection according to claims 2., 3., 4., 7., 8., 9., 10., 11. or 12., characterised in that the joints (4) of the folding mechanism are realized as hinges.
14. Constructive connection according to claims 2., 3., 7., 8., 9., 10., 11. or 12., characterised in that the joints (4) of the folding mechanism are realized as ball-and-socket joints.
15. Constructive connection according to claim 1., characterised in that the constructive connection (3) is realized as a combination of folding and sliding mechanism.
16. Constructive connection according to claim 15., characterised in that the sliding mechanism is located in or on the body (1).
17. Constructive connection according to claim 15., characterised in that the sliding mechanism is located in or on the screen (2).
18. Constructive connection according to claim 15., characterised in that the sliding mechanism is located in or on the body (2) as well as in or on the screen (2).
19. Constructive connection according to claims 15., 16., 17. or 18., characterised in that the sliding mechanism is realized as a telescopic mechanism.
20. Constructive connection according to claims 15., 16., 17. oder 18., characterised in that the sliding mechanism is realized as a slide rail mechanism (8).
21. Constructive connection according to claim 18., characterised in that the constructive connection (3) between body (1) und and screen is realized as a scissor mechanism.
22. Constructive connection according to claims 17. or 20., characterised in that the sliding mechanism is realized as slide rails (8) on both sides of the screen (2) (fig.4).
23. Constructive connection according to claims 2., 3., 4., 7., 8., 9., 10., 11., 12., 13., 14., 15., 16., 17., 18., 19. or 20., characterised in that the connection parts or props between the joints (4) of the constructive connection (3) are realized flexible.
