The present application relates to a mobile computer and, more specifically, to a power management system for a user-supported computer that can be operated in a hands-free manner. Specifically, a mobile, body-supported computer comprising a computer housing, a heat insulating grille, an integral battery with a thermally non-conductive casing, activating means, means for attaching said computer housing to a user, said computer housing comprising substantially all of the components of a conventional computer. The thermally non-conducting battery casing and insulating grille provides a user a contact area that will not result in a burn injury.

Mobile body-supported computer with battery

This invention uses a portable computer housing with a battery holder connected directly onto this battery housing. This arrangement does away with the need for cumbersome connecting cables or wires and places the battery at a location where it could be easily changed or removed. The housing and holder have mating electrical connectors so that they can be in electrical connection without need for wires, cables or other clumsy connectors.

Wearable computer-battery system

This is a compartment that provides for increased protection of PCMCIA cards when used in computers. The compartment is covered by a movable door which can be moved to accommodate various size PCMCIA cards with various type projections. Since the entire horizontal portion of a PCMCIA card will seat in the compartment, a firm support is provided for the entire card.

PCMCIA compartment

This invention provides a computer structure where any PC card used with the computer will be inserted and used in a housing where the entire PC card is enclosed and protected. This prevents the frequent damage of PC cards in conventional computer structures.

Mobile computer with PC housing for PC card and dongle

Vest to house the components of a wearable mobile computer

This computer structure provides a body-worn computer that is easily converted into a conventional or laptop computer. Also, the housing for this computer is symetrical so that when turned upside down the cables and cable connections always face the back of the user. A stand is provided in the housing for use when converting to a conventional computer. This stand doubles as a belt loop when the computer is used as a mobile body-worn computer.

Torso worn computer which can stand alone

This computer structure provides a body-worn computer that is easily converted into a conventional or laptop computer. This body-worn computer has a compartment for enclosing the entire PC card being used, and a second compartment for housing a removable hard drive. Also in the housing of this computer are located an opening for an IrDA transceiver and offset connections for protecting connectors to peripherals.
