Laptop cooling stand with fan

Abstract

A laptop computer support adapted to comfortably and conveniently rest on a user's lap, which also forms one piece of a laptop support system including a base configured to support the laptop support. The laptop support may simply rest in an inclined position on a user's lap, or alternatively rest on the associated base in a inclined position without having to physically lock the laptop support to the base portion.

1 . A laptop support system, comprising:
 a support member having a base configured to rest upon a support surface and having at least one upwardly extending support member;   a laptop support having a surface and configured to support a laptop computer thereon in spaced relation above the surface, and   wherein the laptop support is configured to be selectively supported by the upwardly extending support member without being affixed thereto such that the laptop support surface faces away from the base, and can be selectively removed from the base.   
   
   
       2 . The laptop support system as specified in  claim 1  wherein the laptop support further includes at least one fan proximate the surface and is configured to blow air against the laptop computer when positioned thereupon. 
   
   
       3 . The laptop support system as specified in  claim 2  wherein the at least one upwardly extending support member is comprised of a cradle configured to receive the laptop support thereupon proximate the fan. 
   
   
       4 . The laptop support system as specified in  claim 1  wherein the at least one upwardly extending member has a protrusion, and the laptop support has a recess configured to securely receive the protrusion. 
   
   
       5 . The laptop support system as specified in  claim 1  wherein the base has a base member configured to abut an end of the laptop computer and restrict downward lateral movement of the laptop computer when rested upon the laptop support. 
   
   
       6 . The laptop support system as specified in  claim 5  wherein the base member is configured to cantilever over the laptop computer when positioned on the laptop support. 
   
   
       7 . The laptop support system as specified in  claim 6  wherein the base member is selectively retractable from above the laptop computer. 
   
   
       8 . The laptop support system as specified in  claim 1  wherein the laptop support has at least one flat surface support proximate the surface and configured to abut and support a lower surface of the laptop computer above the surface. 
   
   
       9 . The laptop support system as specified in  claim 1  further comprising a flat support surface on each side of the surface and configured to abut and support a lower surface of the laptop computer above the surface. 
   
   
       10 . The laptop support system as specified in  claim 1  wherein the base has an arched portion configured to open downwardly away from the at least one support member. 
   
   
       11 . The laptop support system as specified in  claim 1  wherein the laptop support has at least one leg member configured to support the laptop support upon a support surface with the surface extending upwardly away from the support surface. 
   
   
       12 . The laptop support system as specified in  claim 11  wherein the at least one leg member is retractable against the laptop support. 
   
   
       13 . The laptop support system as specified in  claim 11  wherein the laptop support comprises two spaced said leg members and configured to incline the laptop support with respect to the support surface. 
   
   
       14 . The laptop support system as specified in  claim 11  wherein the laptop support further includes connectivity ports configured to route data to the laptop computer positioned thereon. 
   
   
       15 . The laptop support system as specified in  claim 3  wherein the support member cradle includes an upwardly extending U-shaped portion configured proximate the fan. 
   
   
       16 . The laptop support system as specified in  claim 2  wherein the laptop support further comprising a battery configured to power the fan. 
   
   
       17 . The laptop support system as specified in  claim 2  wherein the fan is configured to be powered by power provide to the laptop support. 
   
   
       18 . The laptop support system as specified in  claim 4  wherein the laptop support further includes at least one fan proximate the surface and is configured to blow air against the laptop computer when positioned thereupon. 
   
   
       19 . The laptop support system as specified in  claim 5  wherein the laptop support further includes at least one fan proximate the surface and is configured to blow air against the laptop computer when positioned thereupon. 
   
   
       20 . The laptop support system as specified in  claim 6  wherein the laptop support further includes at least one fan proximate the surface and is configured to blow air against the laptop computer when positioned thereupon. 
   
   
       21 . The laptop support system as specified in  claim 1  wherein the laptop support surface is curved. 
   
   
       22 . The laptop support system as specified in  claim 1  wherein the laptop support surface is concave.
