Description

This application claims priority over U.S. Pat. No. 5,829,652 that issued Nov. 3, 1998 and U.S. Pat. Design No. 558,974 S that issued Jan. 8, 2008.

FIG. 1 is a right front isometric view of the mobile computer transport harness, with the computer mounting frame extending outwardly. The left front isometric view being a mirror image thereof.

FIG. 2 is a right perspective view of the mobile computer transport harness, with the mounting frame extending upwardly and secured in a stowed position. The left perspective view being a mirror image thereof;

FIG. 3 is a rear view of the mobile computer transport harness, with the mounting frame extending outwardly in a deployed orientation for operation;

FIG. 4 is another rear view of the mobile computer transport harness, with the mounting frame shown extending upwardly in a secured and stowed position for transport;

FIG. 5 is a front elevation view of the mobile computer transport harness, shown in a deployed orientation for use with the mobile computer device mounted therein;

FIG. 6 is another front elevation view of the mobile computer transport harness, shown with the mounting frame in an upwardly position secured and stowed for transport;

FIG. 7 is a right elevation view of the mobile computer transport harness, with the mounting frame shown extending outwardly, the left elevation view being a mirror image thereof;

FIG. 8 is a right elevation view of the mobile computer transport harness, with the mounting frame shown extending upwardly in a stowed and secured position, the left elevation view being a mirror image thereof;

FIG. 9 is a top plan view of the mobile computer transport harness, with the mounting frame shown extending outwardly in a position of use;

FIG. 10 is a top plan view of the mobile computer transport harness, with the mounting frame shown extending upwardly in a secured and stowed position;

FIG. 11 is a bottom plan view of the mobile computer transport harness, with the mounting frame shown extending outwardly in a deployed position;

FIG. 12 is a bottom view of the mobile computer transport harness, with the mounting frame shown extending upwardly and secured in a stowed position;

FIG. 13 is a right perspective view of the mobile computer transport harness shown open an in use on the body of a user;

FIG. 14 is a right front perspective view of the mobile computer transport harness shown closed and stowed on the body of a user;

FIG. 15 is a top perspective view of the mobile computer transport harness shown open and extending outwardly in a portrait orientation as seen by the user;

FIG. 16 is a top right perspective view of the mobile computer transport harness shown open an extending outwardly in a landscape orientation as seen by the user;

FIG. 17 is a right front perspective view of the mobile computer transport harness, similar to FIG. 1, with the harness deployed on a user depicting the mounting frame extended and folded down in standby mode;

FIG. 18 is another right front perspective view of the mobile computer transport harness, similar to FIG. 1, with the harness deployed on a user depicting the mount frame extended and folded down in standby mode;

FIG. 19 is a front isometric view of the mobile computer transport harness, similar to FIG. 1, illustrating the screen angle adjustment design feature. The harness is shown broken away for convenience of illustration;

FIG. 20 is a front isometric view of the mobile computer transport harness, similar to FIG. 1, illustrating the screen angle adjustment design feature (turned counter clockwise). The harness is shown broken away for convenience of illustration;

FIG. 21 is a right isometric view of the mobile computer transport harness shown with a fabric cover closed over the mobile computer. The fabric cover pack being shown in a stowed position with the fabric pack cover zipped up for transportation mode. The left isometric view being a mirror image;

FIG. 22 is a right isometric view of the mobile computer transport harness with the fabric cover pack open over the mobile computer. The fabric cover pack being shown in the extended position with the fabric cover pack unzipped for operational mode. The left isometric view being a mirror image;

FIG. 23 depicts the harness connected to the mounting frame that is rotated upward at the harness hinge attachment allowing the mobile computer device to be stabilized for photographic and video capture applications;

FIG. 24 depicts the mobile computer transport harness in a right side isometric view illustrating the interface (with mobile computer) detached from the harness and mounting frame; and,

FIG. 25 depicts a front and rear view of the interface of the mobile computer transport harness. The interface connects to the harness and mounting frame. The inner portion of the interface, not shown in the drawings, is plain an unornamented.

An improved novel mobile computer transport harness as depicted herein for securely but easily establishing a stable mounting position around the shoulders of a user (shown as Venus De Milo with fractal shading), transporting and using a portable computer (also shown in dashed outline) such as a laptop or tablet computer (iPad) or the like. The broken line showing the environment in the drawing is included for the purpose of illustrating only and forms no part of the claimed design.

Claims

The ornamental design for a mobile computer transport harness, as shown and described.
