  • Carrying case for portable computers
    Patent number: 5325970
    Abstract: A computer carrying case having internally contained non-reflective folding panels which combine with base and cover portions of the case to form a shield enclosure for a portable computer housed within the case. The shield enclosure excludes most extraneous light and glare and reduces unwanted observation of a viewing screen incorporated in a cover of the computer cover when contained within the shield enclosure. Recessing the viewing screen within the shield enclosure permits the screen to be viewed by the operator while allowing the operator access to the computer data entry device.
