  • Patent number: 9425849
    Abstract: The present invention is an explosion-proof case for a tablet computer that has a tablet computer having a screen and an outer periphery, an upper shell having an open area such that the screen is exposed through the open area, and a lower shell being in sealed relation to the upper shell. The upper shell is sealed against the periphery of the tablet computer. The upper shell and the lower shell contain the tablet computer therein. The tablet computer and the lower shell define an interior volume. This interior volume has at least one atmosphere of a gas contained therein. The gas is an inert gas. A valve is in communication with the interior volume so as to allow the gas to be introduced into the interior volume. The gas is maintained at a pressure of at least one atmosphere above atmospheric pressure. A subframe is interposed in sealed relationship between the upper shell and the lower shell.
