Apparatus for Securing a Laptop Computer to a Users Leg

Abstract

An apparatus for securing a laptop computer to a users leg includes a base having apertures on opposing lateral sidewalls. A frictional material is applied to a top and bottom surface of the base for limiting slip between the base, the laptop computer and the user's leg. A first strap includes a first buckle and a surface having a self-attachment means where the first strap is inserted in one of the apertures with the first buckle above the top surface. A second strap includes a second buckle and a surface including a self-attachment means where the second strap is inserted in another of the apertures on the opposing sidewall with the second buckle below the bottom surface, the second strap is passed through the first buckle for securing the laptop computer and the first strap is passed through the second buckle for securing to the users leg.

       5 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 4 , wherein said seam is approximate midway along said base and said base may be folded in half. 
   
   
       6 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said base further comprises a generally rectangular shape. 
   
   
       7 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said first and second buckles are a loop type buckle. 
   
   
       8 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said first and second self-attachment means comprises a hook and loop attaching means. 
   
   
       9 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said base further comprises a lightweight durable material with a degree of pliability. 
   
   
       10 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 9 , wherein said base further comprises a nylon material in micro fiber format. 
   
   
       11 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said first frictional material comprises a rubber type material adhesively applied to said top surface. 
   
   
       12 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 11 , wherein said second frictional material comprises a frictional rubber type material adhesively applied to said bottom surface. 
   
   
       13 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said first and second straps comprise a nylon material. 
   
   
       14 . An apparatus for securing a laptop computer to a users leg, the apparatus comprising:
 means for providing a base;   first means for providing a first frictional material to a top surface of said base means;   second means for providing a second frictional surface a bottom surface of said base means;   means for securing the laptop computer to said base means; and   means for securing the base means to the users leg.   
   
   
       15 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 14 , further comprising means for storing items in said base means. 
   
   
       16 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 14 , further comprising means for assisting said base means to be folded. 
   
   
       17 . An apparatus for securing a laptop computer to a users leg, the apparatus comprising:
 a base comprising a lightweight durable material with a degree of pliability, a plurality of apertures on opposing lateral sidewalls, a plurality of slits on a top surface opening to sleeve pockets for storage of items and at least one seam scoring along a width of said base for assisting said base to be folded when not in use;   a first frictional rubber like material adhesively applied to a top surface of said base and positioned for contacting a bottom of the laptop computer for limiting slip between said base and the laptop computer;   a second frictional rubber like material adhesively applied to a bottom surface of said base and positioned for contacting the users leg for resisting slippage between said base and the leg of the user;   a first strap comprising a first loop type buckle attached to an end and a surface comprising a first hook and loop attachment means where said first strap is inserted in a first one of said apertures with said first buckle above said top surface; and   a second strap comprising a second loop buckle attached to an end and a surface comprising a second hook and loop attachment means where said second strap is inserted in a second one of said apertures on said opposing sidewall of said first one with said second buckle below said bottom surface, said second strap is passed through said first buckle for securing the laptop computer on said top surface with said second hook and loop attaching means and said first strap is passed through said second buckle with said first hook and loop attaching means securing said bottom surface to the users leg.
