Laptop harness

Abstract

A carrying case for a computer is made of webbing to permit security personnel to view the computer without removing it from the case. The laptop can be opened and used without removing the case.

1 . A carrying case permitting visual inspection of the contents comprising webbing with a plurality of longitudinal elements and a plurality of horizontal tapes, each of said plurality of longitudinal elements and said plurality of horizontal tapes having opposite ends, said plurality of longitudinal elements perpendicular to said plurality of horizontal tapes, said plurality of longitudinal elements and said plurality of horizontal tapes connected together at said opposite ends, a carrying handle connected to each of said plurality of said horizontal tapes whereby said longitudinal elements may be folded approximately in half about the contents to place said plurality of horizontal tapes adjacent to each other and presenting said carrying handles to be gripped by one hand.  
     
     
         2 . A carrying case of  claim 1  further comprising a plurality of bottom tapes having ends, said ends of said bottom tapes connected to said longitudinal elements, said bottom tapes extending perpendicularly from said plurality of longitudinal elements near the midpoint of said plurality of longitudinal elements.  
     
     
         3 . A carrying case of  claim 1  further comprising a closed loop of webbing, said closed loop having longitudinal portions and terminating in carrying handles, said closed loop of webbing connected to each of said plurality of horizontal tapes between said ends thereof, said longitudinal portions of said closed loop parallel to said longitudinal elements.  
     
     
         4 . A carrying case of  claim 3  further comprising a plurality of bottom tapes having ends, said ends of said bottom tapes connected to said plurality of longitudinal elements, said bottom tapes extending perpendicularly to said longitudinal elements, said closed loop connected to said bottom tapes between said ends.  
     
     
         5 . A carrying case of  claim 1  further comprising a plurality of elastic fasteners having opposite ends, said plurality of elastic fasteners each disposed near an end of said plurality of longitudinal elements, one of said opposite ends connected to one of said plurality of said longitudinal elements and the other of said opposite ends connected to one of said horizontal tapes, said plurality of elastic fasteners disposed at approximately 45 degrees to said plurality of longitudinal elements and said plurality of horizontal tapes.  
     
     
         6 . In a combination of a laptop computer and a carrying case, the improvement comprising a carrying case permitting visual inspection of said computer comprising webbing with a plurality of longitudinal elements extending along the edges of said computer and a plurality of horizontal tapes extending across the width of the computer, each of said plurality of longitudinal elements and said plurality of horizontal tapes having opposite ends, said plurality of longitudinal elements perpendicular to said plurality of horizontal tapes, said plurality of longitudinal elements and said plurality of horizontal tapes connected together at said opposite ends, a carrying handle connected to each of said plurality of said horizontal tapes whereby said longitudinal elements may be folded approximately in half about said computer to place said plurality of horizontal tapes adjacent to each other and presenting said carrying handles to be gripped by one hand.  
     
     
         7 . The combination of  claim 6  further comprising a plurality of bottom tapes having ends, said ends of said bottom tapes connected to said longitudinal elements, said bottom tapes extending perpendicularly from said plurality of longitudinal elements near the midpoint of said plurality of said longitudinal elements, said bottom tapes extending across the width of said computer.  
     
     
         8 . The combination of  claim 6  further comprising a closed loop of webbing, said closed loop having longitudinal portions and terminating in carrying handles, said closed loop of webbing connected to each of said plurality of horizontal tapes between said ends thereof, said longitudinal portions of said closed loop parallel to said longitudinal elements.  
     
     
         9 . The combination of  claim 8  further comprising a plurality of bottom tapes having ends, said ends of said bottom tapes connected to said plurality of longitudinal elements, said bottom tapes extending perpendicularly to said longitudinal elements, said closed loop connected to said bottom tapes between said ends.  
     
     
         10 . The combination of  claim 6  further comprising a plurality of elastic fasteners having opposite ends, said plurality of elastic fasteners each disposed near an end of said plurality of longitudinal elements, one of said opposite ends connected to one of said plurality of said longitudinal elements and the other of said opposite ends connected to one of said horizontal tapes, said plurality of elastic fasteners disposed at approximately 45 degrees to said plurality of longitudinal elements and said plurality of horizontal tapes, said elastic fasteners engaging the corners of said computer.
