Abstract

Disclosed is a system comprised of a bag and computer combination which allows the bag wearer to quickly access and use a computer while mobile. The system can be in three forms and all three are used in the same way: a pivoting cover is moved out of the way to expose a display which pivots into the line of sight of the wearer/operator. When assembled, all the components are physically connected and electrical components are electrically connected. Additional components include a keyboard or write pad mounted on the pivoting cover or on a separate pivoting mount near the center bag front, a display prop which braces the display in various angular positions and side pockets fitted for peripherals. An example is cited using a bag with flap mounts and equipment which mounts to the flaps using clamps.

Claims

1. A portable bag mounted electronic display apparatus comprised of:

a. a bag comprised of a front wall, an inside surface, an outside surface;

b. a display panel comprised of a proximal edge and a display; and

c. an intermediate panel comprised of a distal edge and an attachment edge, wherein the distal edge is pivotally attached to the proximal edge of display panel and the attachment edge is pivotally attached to the bag.

2. The display apparatus of claim 1, further comprised of a control on the display panel.

3. The display apparatus of claim 1, further comprised of an electrical connection configured to electrically connecting the display panel to electrical equipment.

4. The display apparatus of claim 3, wherein the electrical connection passes through the front wall to an interior of the bag.

5. The display apparatus of claim 1, wherein the intermediate-panel is further comprised of an input/output device.

6. The display apparatus of claim 1, wherein the intermediate panel attachment edge is configured to removably attach the intermediate panel to the bag.

7. The display apparatus of claim 6, wherein the attachment edge is further comprised of a clamp and the bag is further comprised of an attachment flap, wherein the clamp matches the attachment flap and removably attaches the intermediate panel to the bag.

8. The display apparatus of claim 1, further comprising an input/output tool on the display panel.

9. The display apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a computing unit panel attached to the inside surface of the front wall, wherein the computing unit panel acts as a rigid support for the front wall of the bag and facilitates the storage of the display panel on the outside of the front wall of the bag.

10. An electronic display apparatus for mounting to a bag comprised of:

a. a display panel comprised of a proximal edge and a display; and

b. an intermediate panel comprised of a distal edge and an attachment edge, wherein the distal edge is pivotally attached to the proximal edge of display panel and the attachment edge is adapted to pivotally attached to the bag.

11. The display apparatus of claim 10, further comprised of a control on the display panel.

12. The display apparatus of claim 10, further comprised of an electrical connection configured to electrically connecting the display panel to electrical equipment.

13. The display apparatus of claim 10, wherein the intermediate panel is further comprised of an input/output device.

14. The display apparatus of claim 10, wherein the intermediate panel attachment edge is configured to removably attach the intermediate panel to the bag.

15. The display apparatus of claim 14, wherein the attachment edge is further comprised of a clamp configured to removably attach the intermediate panel to an attachment flap on the bag.

16. The display apparatus of claim 10, further comprised of an input/output tool on the display panel.
