Adjustable Computer Sleeve

Abstract

The present invention provides an adjustable computer sleeve that can be adjusted to snugly fit computers of various sizes in the computer sleeve. In an exemplary embodiment, the adjustable computer sleeve comprises a first panel, a second panel, and a band. The band has a central portion attached between the first and second panels and two side portions extending from opposite ends of the central portion. The side portions are bendable so that the band can be bent into U-shapes of varying widths to snugly fit computers of various widths in the sleeve in order to provide an adjustable fit for computers of various sizes. The adjustable computer sleeve further comprises adjustable fasteners, e.g., hook and loop fasteners, for fastening the side portions of the band between the first and second panels when the band's U-shape is adjusted to a desired width. The adjustable computer sleeve further comprises a strap that can be adjustably fastened to secure computers of various heights in the computer sleeve.

1 . An adjustable computer sleeve, comprising: 
 a first panel;    a second panel;    a band having a central portion and two side portions, wherein the central portion is attached between the first and second panels, and the two side portions extend from opposite ends of the central portion and are bendable so that the band can be bent into generally U-shapes of varying widths; and    adjustable fasteners for adjustably fastening the two side portions of the band between the first and second panels.    
   
   
       2 . The computer sleeve of  claim 1 , wherein the adjustable fastener comprises hook and loop fasteners.  
   
   
       3 . The computer sleeve of  claim 2 , wherein each of the hook and loop fasteners comprises a flexible hook flap extending from one of the side portions of the band and a loop portion on one of the first and second panels.  
   
   
       4 . The computer sleeve of  claim 3 , wherein each of the flexible hoop flaps comprise a nylon strip with hooks extending therefrom.  
   
   
       5 . The computer sleeve of  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 a strap attached to the second panel; and    a second adjustable fastener for adjustable fastening the strap to the first panel.    
   
   
       6 . The computer sleeve of  claim 5 , wherein each one of the first and second panels has a curved in generally U-shaped portion aligned with the strap.  
   
   
       7 . The computer sleeve of claim  51  wherein the second adjustable fastener comprises a hook and loop fastener.  
   
   
       8 . The computer sleeve of  claim 7 , wherein the second adjustable fastener comprises a hook portion on the strap and a loop portion on the first panel.  
   
   
       9 . The computer sleeve of  claim 1 , wherein each of the first and second panels and the band comprises a cushioned inner surface.  
   
   
       10 . The computer sleeve of  claim 9 , wherein each of the first and second panels and the band comprises an outer surface with a protective nylon covering.  
   
   
       11 . The computer sleeve of  claim 1 , wherein each of the first and second panels comprises a resilient semi-rigid material that is capable of resilient deformation.  
   
   
       12 . The computer sleeve of  claim 11 , wherein the resilient semi-rigid material comprises polyethylene.  
   
   
       12 . The computer sleeve of  claim 1 , wherein the band has curved corners adapted to support the bottom edge, corners and sides of a computer in the computer sleeve.  
   
   
       13 . The computer sleeve of  claim 12 , wherein the curved corners are adapted to support the bottom edge, corners and sides of a generally rectangular-shaped computer such that protective dead spaces are formed around the bottom edge and sides of the computer.
