DE102010010451A1 - Laptop has resilient unreelable separation layer that is provided in hinge region between keyboard and picture screen - Google Patents

Abstract

The laptop has a keyboard (1) and a picture screen (2) that are connected by a hinge (3). A resilient unreelable separation layer (4) is provided in the hinge region between the keyboard and picture screen. A shroud (7) is provided with slot (8) by which the separation layer is led out from trough (6).

Description

The invention relates to an improvement on a laptop.

Between the housing part for the laptop keyboard and the housing part for the screen, which are connected to each other with a hinge and arranged open and closed to each other, it is customary to arrange a thin intermediate layer. This prevents the direct contact between the buttons and the screen, in particular to avoid damage to the screen by contact points with individual buttons. This liner is a foil on delivery, which is removed and thus quickly loses. It is similar with liners made of fabric, etc., which are subsequently used as a substitute.

The object of the invention is to arrange a separating layer between the keyboard and the screen, especially when the laptop is closed, which is permanently usable.

This object is achieved with the features of claim 1, advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.

According to the invention is proposed in a laptop with a keyboard part and a screen part, which are connected by at least one hinge and in which between the keyboard and the screen, an elastic separation layer is arranged, that the separation layer up and unrolled in the hinge area and with the screen part or the Tastaurteil is arranged connected.

Preferably, the up and unrollable release layer is arranged on a shaft and connected on one side with the shaft, wherein the shaft is laterally supported in a direction parallel to the hinges extending trough of the screen or button part.

The release layer can be rolled out as needed and fulfill their function as a release layer. Rolled up, the separating layer disappears into the trough.

The trough is covered in a preferred embodiment, wherein the cover has a slot through which the separating layer is led out of the trough.

In another simple embodiment, which is provided in particular as a retrofit unit, the up and unrolling release layer is arranged on a shaft and connected on one side with the shaft, wherein the shaft is arranged parallel to the hinges in an attachment on the screen or keyboard part ,

The attachment on the screen or keyboard part is formed as a separate unit that is connectable to the screen or keyboard part. That can z. B. by clamping on the side portions of the screen or keyboard part or by elastic straps, straps or straps, each comprising the corner regions and thus fix the attachment part.

The attachment on the screen or keyboard part, including the shaft should be sized in height so that when unrolled release layer, the screen and keyboard part are zuklappbar.

Advantageously, the shaft is in each case detachably arranged by its support to z. B. to make a cleaning or replacement.

The rolling up and down on or from the shaft is done in a simple version by rotating the shaft by hand.

In the embodiment with a shaft bearing for the shaft, the shaft should have at least on one side a wheel, by the rotation of the separation layer can be rolled up onto the shaft. In this case, the wheel can partially protrude from the cover of the trough to allow manual operation.

In another embodiment, the shaft can be rotated back by means of a spring which can be tensioned when the separating layer is unrolled, wherein the separating layer is rolled up.

Of course, the rotational movement of the shaft can be solved by motor, z. B by means of an electric motor acting on the reeling shaft.

In order to stabilize the planar shape of the separating layer during unrolling, an advantageous embodiment provides that the separating layer has a stabilizing web on the side not connected to the shaft or the keyboard or screen part and running parallel to this side. It serves both for stable clamping of the separating layer, which is why the stabilizing web has a length which essentially corresponds to the separating layer width, as well as for fixing the unrolled separating layer. For this purpose, in an advantageous embodiment, it has a fixing device which cooperates with a fixing device at the outer end of the key or screen part.

In the drawing, a simple embodiment is shown.

1 shows laptop with a keyboard part 1 and a screen part 2 made by two hinges 3 connected to each other and in which between the keyboard and the screen an elastic separation layer 4 is arranged, wherein the separating layer 4 can be rolled up and down in the hinge area and with the keyboard part 1 is arranged connected.

The rolling and unrolling separating layer 4 is on the wave 5 arranged and one-sided with the shaft 5 connected, with the shaft 5 each side in a parallel to the hinges 3 running trough 6 of the keyboard part 1 is supported.

The hollow 6 is formed covered, with the cover 7 a slot 8th through which the release layer 4 from the hollow 6 led out.

The wave 5 has a wheel on one side 9 on, by its rotation, the separation layer 4 on the wave 5 can be rolled up. The wheel 9 partially protrudes from the cover 7 the hollow 6 out and is so easy to operate.

On the not with the wave 5 connected side has the release layer 4 parallel to the shaft 5 extending a stabilization bar 10 on. The stabilization bar 10 has a fixing device 11 for the outer end of the keyboard part 1 , The fixing device 11 or the stabilizing bar 10 can be grasped by hand and by moving towards the opposite end of the keyboard part 1 becomes the separation layer 4 from the wave 5 unrolled.

The stabilization bar 10 has a length that substantially corresponds to the interface width, whereby when unrolling and rolling the surface of the release layer 4 preserved.

In addition to the function of being an intermediate layer between the keyboard and screen when the laptop is closed, the separating layer is 4 Also usable to protect the keyboard against dust and moisture. If the release layer is made thin and transparent, the keyboard operation is also through the interface 4 possible through.
