Abstract
A portable computer carry case assembly, to be used to safely and securely contain and transport a portable computer and various accessories therefor, the assembly having a main housing which is divided into a top compartment and a bottom compartment by a divider panel. Included within the top compartment are various support members which receive the portable computer suspended thereon in such a manner that the keyboard portion of the portable computer will be co-planar with a top edge of the main housing, and which straddle the portable computer to prevent sliding within the top compartment. Also included in the top compartment is a surge suppressor/power conditioner, which is exteriorly accessible through a power cord outlet disposed in one of the walls of the main housing, and a connector access disposed in the divider panel to facilitate access between the top and bottom compartments, the bottom compartment being structured to contain a portable computer printer and various other computer accessories which are accessible through a main opening of the bottom compartment. The main opening is sealable by a closure flap, and the top compartment is sealable by a lid hingedly secured to a top edge of one of the walls. Finally, at least one wheel and an extendable handle are included and utilized to allow the entire assembly to be conveniently pulled along atop the wheel, the entire assembly being structured to qualify as an airplane carry-on item.
