Sealed protective case for laptop

Abstract

A protective case for a laptop comprising a base and a cover, each consisting of a sheet made of a rigid or non-rigid material, said case having at least one peripheral skirt extending substantially from the peripheral edge of the base or the cover, the free edge of said skirt being intended to cooperate with the free edge of a matching skirt or with the vicinity of the periphery of the base or the cover, i.e. the element that constitutes the enclosure without a skirt by means of a closing and opening device so as to to, firstly, constitute a lateral peripheral enclosure capable of enclosing the useful volume of the case and, secondly, ensure access to inside said useful volume, especially to the laptop. The skirt or skirts extend(s) over the entire periphery of the base and the cover respectively.

1 . A protective case for a laptop comprising a base and a cover, each consisting of a sheet made of a rigid or non-rigid material, said case having at least one peripheral skirt extending substantially from the peripheral edge of the base or the cover, the free edge of said skirt being intended to cooperate with the free edge of a matching skirt or with the vicinity of the periphery of the base or the cover, i.e. the element that constitutes the case without a skirt by means of a closing and opening device so as to, firstly, constitute a lateral peripheral enclosure capable of enclosing the useful volume of the case and, secondly, ensure access inside said useful volume, especially to the laptop, characterised in that said skirt or skirts extend(s) along the entire periphery of the base and the cover respectively.  
   
   
       2 . A protective case for a laptop as claimed in  claim 1 , characterised in that the closing and opening device of the lateral peripheral enclosure extends continuously along the entire length of the enclosure.  
   
   
       3 . A protective case for a laptop as claimed in  claim 2 , characterised in that the base can be completely disconnected from the cover.  
   
   
       4 . A protective case for a laptop as claimed in  claim 1 , characterised in that the cover and base are connected to each other at the rear surface by means of pillars that extend at right angles relative to the general plane of the sheets that constitute them in the vicinity of the two rear corners, said pillars defining a throughslot in the rear surface of the case, allowing access to the various connection areas of the rear surface of the laptop, this throughslot being reversibly closed off by the peripheral skirts.  
   
   
       5 . A protective case for a laptop as claimed in  claim 1 , characterised in that the reversible closing and opening device is selected from a product family that includes a zip fastener, a plastic zipper, a hook-and-loop strip or even magnetic fasteners.  
   
   
       6 . A protective case for a laptop as claimed in  claim 1 , characterised in that the sheets that constitute the base and the cover have dimensions that are larger than the main dimensions of the computer so as to each define an external peripheral rim that projects relative to the space that they define, said rim extending at least to the vicinity of the four corners of said sheets.  
   
   
       7 . A protective case for a laptop as claimed in  claim 1 , characterised in that the sheets that constitute the base and the cover are solid or have cut-outs and in that they are flat or curved.
