BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

(1) Technical Field
This invention pertains to the field of ergonomics. It has been created with the notion of removing barriers to quality, productivity, and safe human performance by fitting products, tasks, and environments to people. The invention is an alternative solution for those people that are frequent users of information technology and advanced technological innovation. It provides a means for working in places that may have barriers to using innovative technological machinery in both indoor and outdoor environmental settings.
(2) Description of the Related Art
The spread of personal computers and Internet technology among the United States population and businesses over the past decade has been extraordinary. The “World Wide Web” revolution has brought the entire world into the reach of domestic enterprises. In 2001, The Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor stated that, “72.3 million persons used a computer at work. This accounted for about 53.5% or more than half of the total employed population.” By 2008 75% of U.S. professionals will be wireless. Computers have revolutionized many aspects of society and how people perform business practices. With the ability to speed up overall tasks and objectives, many business fields have found it unavoidable to familiarize themselves with various computer applications. Its uses in business operations, policy, and governmental systems have resulted in dramatic steps in economic development. This invention will assists those people within both private and public sectors with a means to perform tasks and objectives more efficiently.

BRIEF SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The invention has been ergonomically designed to provide protective support, assistance, and comfort for those people that most frequently use information technology or carry innovative technological equipment. The invention provides a means for protecting technological machinery such as portable electronic devices, laptop computers, digital game systems, digital cameras, PDA devices, and other innovative wireless devices. The invention is a leather satchel case that provides a safe, convenient and comfortable way to protect valuable wireless electronic equipment when traveling to various indoor and outdoor environmental settings.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWING

FIG. 1 displays the front view of the outside framing, 1. Out side framing 1 is sown in a way that the overall functionality of the invention provides an aerodynamic shape, extreme weather resistance, and protection for all valuable machinery it is securing inside when traveling. The drawing displays the satchel wide shoulder strap 3 and waist strap 2. Shoulder strap 3 enables the invention to be carried securely over the shoulder, neck, back, and chest area when traveling. The single shoulder strap 3 gives the user the ability to carry the invention on either the right or left shoulder area. Shoulder strap 3 has been created with extra wide width to provide support for at least the upper arm, upper back, neck, and shoulder areas. A hole is placed at the top of shoulder strap 3 so that handle grip 4 can be placed through. Handle grip 4 allows the user to carry the invention in the hand and provide extra security for valuable equipment that may be inside. Sown into the left and right side areas of outside framing 1 is waist strap, 2. Waist strap 2 has the ability to secure the invention around the waist area when performing tasks that require excessive motion or use of the arm and hand area. Waist strap 2 provides extra support for activities performed on at least land, water, and within the atmosphere.

FIG. 2 displays the inside case of the invention. Two symmetric cylindrical

shaped molds

5 and 6 created from copolymers foam material are sown into outer framing 1 to form a top and bottom. Both

molds

5 and 6 have good barrier properties, low temperature toughness, stress-crack resistance, hot-melt adhesive and heat sealing properties that give the invention the ability to withstand minor hits, knocks, slams bangs, or small accidental drops. Inside of

molds

5 and 6 are two symmetric square shaped ports, 7 and 8, that secure machinery being carried inside when properly closed and sealed. A special lining material 9and 10 is sown over 5, 6, 7, and 8 in a way that all inside areas are combined with the outside framing 1. Handle grip 4 is attached to the top of the invention in a way that it fits though the shoulder strap 3 when properly sealed. Attachments such as zippers, buttons, clips, rings, and sealing principles are applied in conformance with ergonomic standardization and to make the invention function properly.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Description of the Preferred Embodiment

This invention is an innovative device that combines two separate ergonomic processes. It has been created to provide an alternative solution for people concerned about adapting to innovative technology and environments that may provide barriers for utilizing technologically advanced equipment. The invention is a satchel protective casing that has the ability to provide assistance for those people that use at least small portable electronic devices, laptop computers, digital game systems, digital cameras, PDA devices, and other innovative technological equipment. The invention provides a means for carrying innovative technology to extreme indoor and outdoor environmental settings and easy accessibility in situations that only require a short period of time for use
It has been created with aerodynamic shaping that provides wind resistance during everyday carrying and/or traveling on at least mobile transportations on land, water, and within the atmosphere. The invention is created with a water resistant leather animal hide material outside framing. The leather outside leather hide framing treated and sown in a way that it has the ability protect valuable electronic equipment it is transporting from extreme environmental factors such as weather, temperature change, and pressure variation. An additional piece of leather hide is sown onto the top and bottom area to form a shoulder strap. The shoulder strap has been created with extra wide width to provide extra support for at least the upper arm, upper back, neck, and shoulder areas. Also sown into the left and right side areas of the outside leather hide framing is a waist strap. The waist strap has the ability to secure the invention around the waist area when performing tasks that require excessive motion or use of the hand or arm. The waist strap provides extra support for activities performed on at least land, water, and within the atmosphere.
Sown onto the outside of the leather animal hide material framing is an extractable pocket that is able to conceal at least floppy disk, CDs, writing utensils, PDA accessories, and/or miniature notebooks. Attachments such as zippers, buttons, clips, rings, and sealing principles are applied in conformance with ergonomic standardization and to make the invention function properly.
A protective copolymers foam material inside mold is enclosed and sown into the leather outside leather hide framing so that it provides a hard durable protection outside shell. The inside molding are composed of two individual symmetric shapes to form a top and bottom. Both moldings have good barrier properties, low temperature toughness, stress-crack resistance, hot-melt adhesive and heat sealing properties that give the invention the ability to withstand minor hits, knocks, slams bangs, or small accidental drops. Placed inside of each mold is a symmetric square shaped port so that is able to secure valuable machinery that is being carried inside when properly closed. A special lining material is sown over the two inside moldings and ports to combine the outside leather and inside casing together.
