Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention is a handwriting network panel
protection cover, especially the one that holds up the panel body
for operation with the high friction between the protective cover
and the soft cover strip as well as provides control buttons on
either the left side or the right side in accordance with the
requirements.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] With the coming of the digital times, heavy notebooks or
jotters no longer become a necessity for outdoors. Substituted are
personal digital assistants or handwriting network panels provided
with several memorandum and network functions, allowing the user to
store data and take along and operate at anytime, anywhere. In
spite of the convenient mobility of personal digital assistants or
handwriting network panels, the wear and tear during the trip still
remains inevitable. In view of this, personal digital assistants or
handwriting network panels on market are usually wrapped with a
protective cover to protect themselves from damage. The protective
cover, however, is no more than a safeguard to the personal digital
assistant or the handwriting network panel, protecting them from
damage.
[0003] In view of this, the traditional cover above still has many
disadvantages and has much for improvement.
[0004] In view of the problems of personal digital assistant and
handwriting network panel protection covers, the inventor of the
present invention was devoted to finding a solution and
accomplished structural improvement for the handwriting network
panel protection cover.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0005] The objective of the present invention is to provide a
handwriting network panel protection cover with a cover strip on
either side of the panel body to prevent external objects from
getting into the socket on either side of the panel body.
[0006] Another objective of the present invention is to provide a
handwriting network panel protection cover with a fold-up
protective cover connected to the panel body that wraps the panel
body when out of operation to protect it from damage.
[0007] Another objective of the present invention is to provide a
handwriting network panel protection cover able to prop up the
panel body with the soft cover strip on one side by placing it on
the edge of the protective cover and props up the panel steadily
for operation with the friction of the soft cover strip without
slipping around.
[0008] Another objective of the present invention is to provide a
handwriting network panel protection cover able to place the
control buttons either on the right side or the left side in
accordance with the user's operational habits, allowing the user to
operate with his/her right hand or left hand.
[0009] The protective cover with the above objectives consists of
one panel body, one hard cover strip, one soft cover strip and one
protective cover, wherein the soft cover strip is placed on one
side of the panel body with the hard cover strip on the other side.
At the bottom of the hard cover strip is a slot for the positioning
slice on one side of the protective cover to connect to, firmly
combining one side of the protective cover with the hard cover
strip. In the middle of the protective cover there is a folding
line that makes the protective cover foldable. The protective cover
is divided into the first compartment and the second compartment by
the folding line, wherein the first compartment is where the panel
body is placed. When out of operation, the second compartment of
the protective cover is folded and placed over the panel body to
cover and wrap the whole body, protecting it from any damage.
During operation, the protective cover holds up the panel body with
the soft cover strip on one side by placing it at the edge of the
second compartment of the protective cover. The high friction of
the soft cover strip prevents the panel body from slipping around,
thus fixes and holds up the panel body for the user to operate.
Besides, the control buttons on the panel body can be placed either
on the right side or the left side, depending on the user's
necessity, thus facilitates the operation for the user.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0016] Please refer to FIGS. 1 and 2 for the handwriting network
panel protection cover for the present invention that consists of
the following:
[0017] One panel body 1 with a monitor 11 on the top, control
buttons 12 on one side of the monitor 11, one positioning base 13,
14 with at least one screw hole 131, 141 and one socket 132, 142 on
either side of the panel body 1;
[0018] One soft cover strip 3 containing a slip-resistant strip 32
is set on one side that provides slip resistance and one hole 31
sitting correspondingly to the screw hole 141 on the positioning
base of the body 1, combing the soft cover strip 3 to the positing
base 14 on one side of the body 1. The hole 31 corresponds to the
screw hole 141 on the positioning base, allowing the screw 5 to
pass through and lock the body up, thus combines the soft cover
strip 3 steadily with one side of the panel body 1, preventing the
socket 142 on the positing base 14 from damage. Furthermore, the
soft cover strip 3 can be made of rubber or other soft materials
with high friction;
[0019] One hard cover strip 2 whose bottom is equipped with one
slot 21 and a slip-resistant strip 22 is set on one side, providing
slip resistance. There is a hole 23 bored through the slot 21
corresponding to the screw hole 131 on the positioning base 13 of
the panel body;
[0020] One protective cover 4 wherein two folding lines 42
corresponding to each other are set at the middle of the protective
cover 4, dividing it into the first compartment 43 and the second
compartment 44 with the fold-up function. On one edge of the first
compartment 43 there are one positioning slice 41 and one female
buckle 45, wherein the positioning slice 41 is provided with one
circular hole 411 corresponding to the hole 23 on the hard cover
strip 2. At the middle of the edge of the second compartment 44
there is one male buckle 46. The protective cover could be a
leather cover, plastic cover or other materials;
[0021] Combing the hard cover strip 2 with the positioning base 13
on one side of the panel body 1 and the positioning slice 41 on the
first compartment 43 of the protective cover 4 with the slot 21 of
the hard, the hole 23 of the hard cover strip corresponds to the
circular hoe 411 of the positioning slice and the screw hole 131 of
the positioning base, allowing the screw 5 to pass through and fix
the hard cover strip 2 and the positioning slice 41 firmly on the
positioning base 13 on one side of the panel body 1, thus prevents
the socket 132 of the positioning base 13 from damage. Furthermore,
the panel body 1 placed on the first compartment of the protective
cover 4 is kept from any wear and tear to the bottom of the panel
body 1.
[0022] Please refer to FIG. 3 for the diagram about the first
operation of the handwriting network panel protection cover for the
present invention, wherein the fold-up function of the protective
cover 4 allows the user to fold the second compartment 44 backward
to cover on top of the panel body 1 and buckles up the male buckle
46 and female buckle 45 on the edge of the second compartment 44
and the first compartment 43 respectively when out of operation,
wrapping the entire panel body 1 around with the protective cover 4
so as to facilitate the user to take along and protect the monitor
11 and the control buttons 12 of the panel body 1 from any wear and
tear.
[0023] Please refer to FIG. 4 for the diagram about the second
operation of the handwriting network panel protection cover for the
present invention, wherein the panel body 1 is held up with the
soft cover strip 3 on one side of the panel body 1 against the edge
of the second compartment to form into a triangle. The high
friction between the soft cover strip 3 and the protective cover 4
fastens the soft cover strip 3 from slipping around on the second
compartment 44, thus props up the panel body 1 steadily for the
user's operation.
[0024] Please refer to FIG. 5 for the diagram about the third
operation of the handwriting network panel protection cover for the
present invention, wherein the control buttons 12 could be placed
either on the left or the right side in accordance with the users'
operational habits. During operation, the hard cover strip 2 and
the soft cover strip 3 on both sides of the panel body are detached
and the panel body is turned over for 180 degrees that switches the
control buttons 12 from the right side of the panel body 1 to the
left side. Then, by recombining the hard cover strip 2 and the soft
cover strip 3 with the positioning bases 13, 14 on both sides of
the panel body 1, the user can operate the control buttons with
his/her right hand.
[0025] Compared with the above traditional instances and other
technologies, the handwriting network panel protection cover for
the present invention possesses the following advantages:
[0026] 1. One hard cover strip and one soft cover strip on both
sides of the panel body protects the sockets on both sides of the
panel body from damage.
[0027] 2. One fold-up protective cover connected to one side of the
panel body wraps the entire panel body when out of operation, thus
prevent the monitor, control buttons and the sockets from wear and
tear.
[0028] 3. The ability of holding up the panel body with the soft
cover strip on one side of the panel body being placed on the edge
of the protective cover, thus holds up and prevents the panel body
from slipping around with the high friction, facilitating the
user's operation.
[0029] 4. The ability of placing the control buttons either on the
left side or the right side of the panel body in accordance with
the user's operational habits, allowing the user to operate the
control buttons with his/her right hand or left hand.
[0030] Many changes and modifications in the above described
embodiment of the invention can, of course, be carried out without
departing from the scope thereof. Accordingly, to promote the
progress in science and the useful arts, the invention is disclosed
and is intended to be limited only by the scope of the appended
claims.
