Carrying device for electric facilities

Abstract

A carrying device includes a cushioning bag having two side walls pivotally coupled together for allowing the side walls to be folded toward each other and for receiving an electric facility between the side walls, and a closing device for openably closing the cushioning bag in order to stably retain the electric facility within the cushioning bag, the cushioning bag includes an air envelope for engaging with the electric facility and for cushioning and protecting the electric facility. The cushioning bag includes an outer layer and an inner layer having an outer peripheral portion secured together to form the air envelope.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0010]The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a protective or carrying device including one or more air envelopes or air bags for softly receiving electric facilities, such as portable computers, etc., and for cushioning the electric facilities, and for preventing the electric facilities from being damaged by shocks or vibrations.

[0011]In accordance with one aspect of the invention, there is provided a carrying device comprising a cushioning bag including two side walls pivotally coupled together for allowing the side walls to be folded toward each other and for forming a chamber between the side walls of the cushioning bag and for receiving an electric facility in the chamber of the cushioning bag, and a closing device for openably closing the chamber of the cushioning bag in order to stably retain the electric facility within the cushioning bag, and the cushioning bag includes an air envelope formed therein for engaging with the electric facility and for cushioning and protecting the electric facility, and for preventing the electric facilities from being damaged by shocks or vibrations.

[0019]An outer casing may further be provided and selectively attached onto the cushioning bag for protecting the cushioning bag and for preventing the cushioning bag from being pricked by sharp-pointed objects. The outer casing is attached onto the cushioning bag with a hook and loop fastening device. A carrying suitcase may further be provided for selectively receiving the cushioning bag.

Problems solved by technology

However, the covers have no air envelopes or air bags or air cushioning structures formed or provided therein such that the electric facilities received within the covers may not be cushioned and may not be protected and prevented from being damaged by shocks or vibrations.

However, the straps or tension force resisting members are disposed only on the front portion and the rear portion of the electric facilities such that the side portions and / or the upper and the lower portions of the electric facilities that are received within the bags may not be suitably protected and cushioned and such that the side portions and / or the upper and the lower portions of the electric facilities also may not be prevented from being damaged by shocks or vibrations.
