Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a sheet used for decorating a notebook computer and a notebook computer including the same.

Background Art

[0002] In recent years, many notebook computers with excellent design in addition to practicality have been provided. However, due to the common basic shape including a main body portion on which a keyboard is arranged on the upper surface and a display portion that is attached to one side edge of the main body portion via a hinge and is provided to be openable and closable facing the upper surface, decorations such as sticking stickers on the housing surfaces of the main body portion and the display portion by users have been carried out to create originality.

[0003] However, due to the nature of notebook computers being precision electronic devices, there are limitations to the decorations applied by the user's own hands, and it has been difficult to decorate them into the desired design. Therefore, there is a need for a decoration means for notebook computers that can fully reflect the originality of the user.

[0004] <9000015>On the other hand, a decorative film that uses a film (or sheet) decorated by printing, painting, vacuum evaporation, coloring, etc. and attaches the film to the surface of a molded product is known (for example, see Patent Document 1).

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0006] However, it is technically difficult for users to decorate their laptops themselves using decorative films like the one in Patent Document 1, and it also becomes impossible to enjoy changing the decorations, making it unsuitable for use in decorating laptops.

[0007] Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a decorative sheet for laptops that allows users to easily change the appearance of their laptops to their preferred design and enjoy a variety of design variations. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The decorative sheet for a notebook computer according to the present invention includes an adhesive sheet portion that is attached to the surface of the notebook computer's casing, the adhesive sheet portion comprising a resin layer in which iron powder is mixed, a first decorative layer provided on the upper surface of the resin layer, and an adhesive layer provided on the lower surface of the resin layer for attaching and fixing the adhesive sheet portion to the surface of the notebook computer.

[0009] In other words, the decorative sheet for a laptop computer according to the present invention is installed by attaching the adhesive notebook portion to the surface of the computer's display or other part, and the first decorative layer, on which illustrations, photographs, text, etc. are printed, is exposed on the surface of the laptop computer's casing to provide decoration.

[0010] The present invention further includes a magnetic sheet portion that is detachably attached to the adhesive sheet portion, and the magnetic sheet portion may comprise a magnetic layer that can be attracted to the resin layer via the first decorative layer, and a second decorative layer provided on the surface of the magnetic layer.

[0011] By doing so, the magnetic force between the magnetic layer of the magnetic sheet and the magnetic material contained in the resin layer of the adhesive sheet allows the magnetic sheet to be attached to and detachably placed on top of the adhesive sheet. [Effects of the Invention]

[0012] According to the present invention, a decorative sheet for a laptop computer allows illustrations, photographs, text, etc., printed on the first decorative layer to be applied to the surface of the laptop computer's casing by attaching and fixing the adhesive sheet portion. This makes it easy to create a laptop computer with a highly original design. Furthermore, by combining the adhesive sheet portion with the magnetic sheet portion, a variety of designs can be enjoyed. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0013] [Figure 1] This is a perspective view of a decorative sheet for a laptop computer according to an embodiment. [Figure 2] This is a side cross-sectional view of a decorative sheet for a laptop computer according to an embodiment. [Figure 3] This is a perspective view illustrating a method for attaching a decorative sheet for a laptop computer according to an embodiment to a laptop computer. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0014] The embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the figures. [Examples]

[0015] Figure 1 shows a notebook computer decorative sheet 1 (hereinafter simply referred to as decorative sheet 1 for convenience) according to this embodiment attached to a notebook computer P. The notebook computer P has a display D that is rotatably mounted on one side edge of the main body, which houses the CPU, memory, storage, battery, etc., and has a keyboard mounted on its top surface. The decorative sheet 1 according to this embodiment is attached so as to cover the entire surface S of the housing of the display D.

[0016] Figure 2 shows a cross-section of the decorative sheet 1. The decorative sheet 1 is composed of two sheet members: an adhesive sheet portion 10 and a magnetic sheet portion 20.

[0017] The adhering sheet part 10 is a sheet member directly adhered to the surface S of the housing, and includes a resin layer 11, a first decorative layer 12, and an adhesive layer 13. The resin layer 11 is composed of a flexible steel rubber sheet in which iron powder is kneaded into a resin such as chlorinated polyethylene or silicon. By doing so, the magnet sheet part 20 described later can be detachably attached to the adhering sheet part 10.

[0018] The first decorative layer 12 is disposed on the upper surface of the resin layer 11 and constitutes the surface that is visible when the adhering sheet part 10 is disposed on the housing surface S. On the first decorative layer 12, colors, patterns, designs, characters, pictures, photographs, or combinations thereof can be drawn on a film material made of a synthetic resin material such as polypropylene or polyvinyl chloride, and these can be printed using a printing device such as a solvent inkjet printer.

[0019] The adhesive layer 13 is disposed on the lower surface of the resin layer 11 (the surface opposite to the first decorative layer 12) and is for adhering and fixing the adhering sheet part 10 to the upper surface S of the housing. The adhesive layer 13 can be configured using an adhesive such as an acrylic resin, a rubber resin, a silicon resin, or a urethane resin. In particular, it is preferable to use an acrylic resin in which the adhesive is unlikely to remain when peeled off from the housing surface S.

[0020] The shape and size of the adhering sheet part 10 configured in this way can be set according to the shape and size of the attachment location of the notebook computer P. Also, the thickness of the adhering sheet part 10 is not particularly limited and can be set to a thickness that does not interfere with the functions and portability of the notebook computer P. In particular, it is preferably set to 0.3 mm to 1.0 mm.

[0021] The magnet sheet part 20 is detachably attached with a magnetic force to the surface of the adhering sheet part 10 adhered and fixed to the housing surface S, and includes a magnet layer 21 and a second decorative layer 22.

[0022] The magnet layer 21 is a layer containing magnets that adsorbs and fixes the magnet sheet portion 20 to the surface of the adhesive sheet 10 provided on the surface of the housing, and is composed of a rubber magnet sheet with a thickness of 0.3 mm. The thickness of the rubber magnet sheet constituting the magnet layer 2 is preferably set within the range of 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm so as to ensure flexibility that allows close adhesion even when the surface S of the housing has some curvature. Note that the magnet layer 21 is not limited to a rubber magnet sheet. For example, a magnet formed by mixing a magnetic material such as ferrite or neodymium with a non-metallic material such as a sintered magnet made of metal, plastic, or resin and shaped into a sheet can also be used in sheet form. Also, the type of magnetization of the magnet layer 21 may be either single-sided multi-pole magnetization or double-sided multi-pole magnetization, but it is preferable to use single-sided multi-pole magnetization so that the surface side of the second decorative layer 22, which will be described in detail later, is not adsorbed when attached to the adhesive sheet portion 10.

[0023] The second decorative layer 22 is disposed on the upper surface of the magnet layer 21 (the surface opposite to the adsorption surface with the adhesive sheet portion 10) and constitutes the surface that is visible when the magnet sheet portion 20 is fixed to the adhesive sheet portion 10. On the second decorative layer 22, colors, patterns, designs, characters, pictures, photographs, or combinations thereof can be drawn on a film material made of a synthetic resin material such as polypropylene or polyvinyl chloride, and these can be printed using a printing device such as a solvent inkjet printer.

[0024] Figure 3 shows how to attach the decorative sheet 1 to the casing surface S of the notebook computer P. First, the adhesive sheet portion 10 of the decorative sheet 1 is gradually brought into contact with the casing surface S (in this case, the casing surface of the display D) while aligning it, and then attached. Next, the magnetic sheet portion 20 is brought into contact with the surface of the adhesive sheet portion 10 while aligning it, and fixed to the adhesive sheet portion 10 by the magnetic force generated between the magnetic layer 21 and the resin layer 11. Note that fixing the magnetic sheet portion 20 is not mandatory. For example, if the user wants to display the first decorative layer 13, which has characters, figures, etc. drawn on it, on the casing surface S, they do not need to attach the magnetic sheet portion 20. Also, if the user wants to display the first decorative layer 13 on the casing surface S after fixing the magnetic sheet portion 20 to the adhesive sheet portion 10, they can simply peel off the magnetically fixed magnetic sheet portion 20.

[0025] According to the decorative sheet 1 for a notebook computer described in this embodiment, the surface S of the casing of a notebook computer P can be easily decorated. This allows the notebook computer P to be easily changed from its standard appearance to an appearance preferred by the user. Furthermore, by attaching and fixing the adhesive sheet portion 10 to the casing surface S, while making it possible to detachably attach the magnetic sheet portion 20 to the surface of the adhesive sheet portion 10, it is possible to enjoy variations in design by adding or removing the magnetic sheet portion 20. In addition, accessories that can be fixed with magnets can also be attached to the adhesive sheet portion 10.

[0026] Furthermore, this invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications and combinations are possible within the scope of the claims and embodiments described in the utility model registration claims, and these modifications and combinations are also included in the scope of the rights.

[0027] For example, the first decorative layer 13 and the second decorative layer 22 may be surface-treated to make them less susceptible to dirt. Furthermore, the decorative sheet for the laptop may be designed to be attached not only to the display D, but also to the bottom of the main unit, the palm rest, and other surfaces. [Industrial applicability]

[0028] By using the decorative sheet for laptops according to this invention, users can easily change the surface of their laptop casing to their preferred design, making it applicable to accessories related to the appearance of laptops. [Explanation of symbols]
