[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a storage case for an information processing apparatus which is preferably used in an office or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art With the recent rapid progress in office automation, offices and the like are now in the age of occupying one information processing device such as a personal computer. In particular, the recent remarkable technological progress has brought about remarkable performance improvement and dramatic downsizing of information processing devices, and at present, various fulfilling functions such as multimedia compatible functions are available in the notebook type as well as the desktop type. The information processing apparatus is now in a situation where it can be used normally.

On the other hand, as a form of offices these days, an increasing number of companies are introducing a small office system or a home office system. In small offices, for example, each person often adopts a non-territorial office system in which the number of seats is not limited, and it is not possible to permanently install articles such as information processing devices used by each person on a desk. This point has a similar situation in home offices. Further, even in the center office, for example, in the case of a job such as a salesperson who often goes around, there is a case where the user's information processing device is used on a shared desk without restricting his / her seat. Also in this case, when the work is not performed, it is necessary to evacuate the information processing device to an appropriate place and open the desk for other users. As described above, in a situation where the information processing device cannot be permanently installed at a fixed location, the notebook type is much easier to use than the desktop type because it is much easier to move.

However, when the notebook type information processing apparatus is moved, an AC adapter attached to the notebook type information processing apparatus,
In addition to peripheral accessories such as a mouse and numeric keypad, equipment such as manuals, writing instruments, and various stationery must be individually moved, which not only complicates the movement work, but also could cause the equipment to be lost. . Therefore, in recent years, in the office, the information processing apparatus and peripheral accessories and equipment can be moved together as a unit, and can be stored in a storage box or other storage furniture in the form of a file box. You may be using a storage case for.
As a conventional information processing device storage case, there is a case-type hard case type made of a resin material having a relatively high strength such as polypropylene.

[0005]

However, since this is a hard case type, the outer dimensions of the case body are always constant and do not change from the production process, distribution, to use by the user. Therefore, there are problems in that a large storage space is taken especially at the time of distribution and the distribution cost is increased, and a predetermined storage space is required even when it is not used, and a wasteful space is generated in the office.

Further, in order to prevent the peripheral accessories and equipment from contacting and damaging the information processing apparatus during the movement, and scattering of these in the storage space, conventionally, the information processing apparatus and the peripheral are not provided. A fixed type storage partition for partitioning a space for storing accessories and the like is provided in the case body, or the information processing device is stored in an inner case or the like. However, since the shape and size of the information processing device varies depending on the model, if the storage partition is a fixed type, the size of the storage space for the information processing device is predetermined,
Depending on the model, there is a possibility that a wasteful space may be generated in the storage space or that the information processing device may not fit well, causing rattling during movement. On the other hand, a movable storage partition that can change the partition position arbitrarily is also conceivable, but it is easy to move up and out during use, and there is a gap created between the raised storage partition and the bottom wall of the case body. It was easy for problems such as small equipment such as writing instruments to move through the partitioned storage space via the. Further, even when the inner case is used, it is necessary to individually provide a device corresponding to the size of the model of each information processing device, which makes it difficult to be used for general purposes.

Further, when the information processing device is put in a storage case and frequently moved, it becomes necessary to protect the information processing device from shocks and the like, but the conventional hard case type does not have a buffering property. In addition, the information processing device is separately housed in an inner case that is formed of a material having a cushioning property or is provided with a cushioning material or the like on its inner surface.

[0008]

In order to solve the above-mentioned inconvenience, the present invention comprises a case body made of a flexible material, which is foldable in the thickness direction, and selectively. By providing a shape-retaining base that imparts shape-retaining properties in the thickness direction to the case body, it is possible to take a use state and a folded state depending on the situation. Furthermore, a storage partition that can arbitrarily change the partition position according to the thickness dimension or width dimension of the information processing device is integrally provided on the shape-retaining base, and the size of each information processing device can be adjusted in the case body. A storage space for the information processing device is formed.

In addition to being able to take a use state forming a storage space and a folded state compressed in the thickness direction by utilizing the flexible deformability of the peripheral wall portion,
The shape-retaining base overlaps with the bottom wall of the case body in use, and the partition position can be flexibly deformed so that the partition position can be arbitrarily changed according to the thickness dimension or width dimension of the information processing device. The shape retention base and the storage partition have the information processing device continuously and integrally through various deformation regions.
Hard sheet material made of hard resin for protection and the hard sheet material

With such a structure, when the shape retention base is used to impart shape retention in the thickness direction to the case body at the time of use, the information processing apparatus can be housed together with peripheral accessories and the like. A storage space that can be used is formed, and the information processing apparatus can be moved together as a unit with peripheral accessories and the like, and can be stored as a file box in storage furniture such as a storage cabinet. On the other hand, when not in use, during the production process, during distribution, etc., after retracting the shape-retaining base, use the flexible deformability of the peripheral wall to compress the case body in the thickness direction and fold it for storage. Reduces the storage space of the case,
It is possible to reduce production and distribution costs and reduce unnecessary storage space in the office.

Further, since the storage partition which can arbitrarily change the partition position is integrally formed on the shape-retaining base, the partition position can be changed according to the thickness dimension or the width dimension of the information processing apparatus. For example, the size of each information processing device can be accommodated. Therefore, the storage space can be efficiently used, and the information processing device can be well accommodated to improve the stability when being carried. Further, since this storage case is a so-called soft case made of a flexible material, it protects the information processing apparatus from shocks during movement as compared with a conventional hard case. be able to. Further, since the shape-retaining base located on the bottom wall of the case body and the storage partition are integrally continuous, it is possible to reduce the number of parts, and of course, the information processing device or the like is installed in the case body during use. When stored, the shape-retaining base is pressed by the information processing device or the like, so that the storage partition provided integrally with the shape-retaining base is prevented from moving up and out. By prohibiting the upward movement and removal of the storage partition, it is possible to prevent problems such as the movement of peripheral accessories and fixtures in the storage spaces separated by the storage partition.

As a concrete embodiment, the shape-retaining base may be detachable. Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the storage partition, the storage partition is
It is formed continuously through a flexible deformable deformation region continuously formed on the shape-retaining base, and is perpendicular to the shape-retaining base by utilizing the flexible deformability of the deformable region. There may be mentioned one that can stand upright and can change the standing position relative to the shape retention base arbitrarily.
