[0028] Fig. 1 shows a box 12 of a laptop holder 10 according to the invention (cf. Fig. 3).

[0029] The box 12 has a cuboid shape with two side walls 20, a front wall 16, a rear wall 18, and a base 15. The walls 16, 18, 20 and the base 15 define a receiving space 13 for receiving objects within the box 12, with the box being open at the top. Recessed handles 24 are provided in the side walls 20 for carrying the box 12 from the side with both hands. While the rear wall 18 is rectangular, the front wall 16 has a truncated cutout 22 at the top in the basic rectangular shape. The truncated cutout 22 forms two sloping edges 23 at the top and a recessed horizontal edge 21 between the sloping edges 23.

[0030] In the longitudinal direction, a central partition 26 is provided, which divides the receiving space 13. The partition 26 has a rectangular section 28, which is connected to the side walls 20. A truncated section 30 extends upwards from the rectangular section 28. The truncated section 30 is, in particular, flush with the side walls 20, the rear wall 18, and preferably the front wall 16. A recessed handle 32 is provided in the truncated section 30 for carrying the box 12 with one hand, in particular while hanging.

[0031] Fig. 2a-2b show a lid 14 for the box 12 from Fig. 1 for forming a laptop holder 10 according to the invention (cf. Fig. 3).

[0032] On the Fig. The top side 32 shown in Figure 2a has a laptop stop 38 along its length and side. The laptop stop 38 is shown to have a truncated shape that tapers toward the top side 32. The laptop stop 38 serves primarily to stabilize the laptop.

[0033] In the longitudinal direction, a slot 36, in particular a groove, is provided centrally in the cover 14, which runs from the top side 32 to the bottom side 34 and thus through the entire height of the cover 14.

[0034] On the Fig. 2b, the lid 14 has a leg 40 on the longitudinal side, on the side opposite the laptop stop 38, for positioning the lid 14 on the box 12 (cf. Fig. 4a-4b). For the positive, in particular hooking, connection of the leg 40 to the box 12, preferably an edge 19 of the box 12 (cf. Fig. 4a-4b) the leg 40 has a notch 41.

[0035] The lid 14 serves in particular also independently of the box 12 for the ergonomic arrangement of a laptop 100. The lid, in particular according to Fig. 2a-2b preferably represents an independent invention.

[0036] Fig. 3 shows an embodiment of a laptop holder 10 according to the invention with the box 12 from Fig. 1, which is connected to the lid of the Fig. 2a-2b is closed. For this purpose, the lid 14 is partially recessed into the box 12 and rests with its underside 34 on the upper edges 29 of the partition 26. The upper side 32 of the lid 14 thus forms the upper end of the box 12.

[0037] It is possible, for example (not shown), to secure the lid 14 against removal by means of a padlock attached to the handle structure of the handle recess 32 and thus to lock the box 12.

[0038] Fig. 4a-4b show the laptop holder 10 from Fig. 3, wherein the lid 14 has been placed in an inclined position to accommodate a laptop 100. To implement the inclined position, the lid 14 is positioned against the edge 19 of the rear wall 18 by means of the leg 40. For fixation, the notch 41 of the leg 40 positively engages the corner 17 of the edge 19 (cf. Fig. 4a).

[0039] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 4b, the lid 14 is recessed at an angle into the box 12 on the side opposite the leg 40, so that the lid 14 protrudes beyond the box 12 due to the inclination on the side of the leg 40, but is recessed into the box 12 on the opposite side. The laptop stop rests in the truncated cutout 22.

[0040] Due to the inclined position of the lid 14, which serves as a laptop holder, the laptop monitor 102 is arranged at a higher level relative to a lower surface on which the box 12 is arranged, so that an ergonomic arrangement of the laptop monitor is implemented.

[0041] The portable laptop holder 10 and the tilted laptop stand (according to Fig. 4a-4b) together form an embodiment of a laptop workstation 1000 according to the invention.
