Abstract

A mobile computer lapdesk is provided, which includes a desk portion and soft-goods member coupled to a bottom side of the desk portion. The desk portion includes a desk surface and an adjustable member operatively coupled to the desk surface, wherein a mobile computer is coupled to the adjustable member in one of a portrait or a landscape orientation. The adjustable member may also include audio recesses, wherein the audio recesses provide passive sound amplification in response to coupling a mobile computer to the rotatable member with the audio recesses adjacent speakers of the mobile computer.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A mobile computer lapdesk comprising:
 desk portion comprising a desk surface and an adjustable member operatively coupled to the desk surface, wherein the adjustable member holds a mobile computer in one of a portrait or a landscape orientation; and   a soft-goods member coupled to a bottom side of the desk surface.   
     
     
         2 . The lapdesk of  claim 1 , wherein the soft-goods member is formed of a flexible material encasing a filler material. 
     
     
         3 . The lapdesk of  claim 2 , wherein the soft-goods member is filled with filler material at a capacity of approximately 75% to 90% full. 
     
     
         4 . The lapdesk of  claim 3 , wherein the filler material is moveable within the flexible material in response to angling the lapdesk. 
     
     
         5 . The lapdesk of  claim 1 , wherein the desk portion comprises an axis, wherein the adjustable member rotates about the axis with respect to the desk surface. 
     
     
         6 . The lapdesk of  claim 5 , wherein the adjustable member is moveable between various angles with respect to the desk surface. 
     
     
         7 . The lapdesk of  claim 6 , wherein the adjustable member is operatively coupled to the desk surface by a friction hinge, wherein the friction hinge allows for soft stops at any angle within a range of angles with respect to the desk surface. 
     
     
         8 . The lapdesk of  claim 1 , wherein the desk surface and the adjustable member comprises recesses for providing access to input and output connection slots of the mobile computer. 
     
     
         9 . The lapdesk of  claim 1 , wherein the adjustable member comprises audio recesses, wherein the audio recesses provide passive sound amplification in response to coupling a mobile computer to the adjustable member with the audio recesses adjacent speakers of the mobile computer. 
     
     
         10 . The lapdesk of  claim 1 , wherein soft-goods portion comprises a storage compartment. 
     
     
         11 . The lapdesk of  claim 1 , further comprising a speaker comprising a connection device for connecting to the mobile computer for transmitting sound through the speaker. 
     
     
         12 . A mobile computer lapdesk comprising:
 desk portion for holding a mobile computer in a position parallel with the desk portion and a position angled to the desk portion, wherein a mobile computer is held by the desk portion in one of a portrait or a landscape orientation; and   a soft-goods member coupled to a bottom side of the desk portion.   
     
     
         13 . The lapdesk of  claim 12 , wherein the soft-goods member is formed of a flexible material encasing a filler material. 
     
     
         14 . The lapdesk of  claim 13 , wherein the filler material is moveable within the flexible material in response to angling the lapdesk 
     
     
         15 . The lapdesk of  claim 14 , wherein the desk portion comprises a desk surface and an angle support member at a fixed angle with respect to the desk surface. 
     
     
         16 . The lapdesk of  claim 15 , wherein the desk portion comprises a slip-resistant material that supports the mobile computer. 
     
     
         17 . The lapdesk of  claim 14 , wherein the angle support member comprises a channel portion for receiving an edge of the mobile computer within the channel portion with the mobile computer. 
     
     
         18 . The lapdesk of  claim 17 , wherein the angle support member adjusts the viewing angle of the mobile computer in response to moving the filler material within the soft-goods member. 
     
     
         19 . A method of using a mobile computer lapdesk, the method comprising:
 holding a mobile computer with an adjustable member of a desk portion of mobile computer lapdesk in one of a portrait or a landscape orientation;   angling the mobile computer lapdesk to move filler material within a soft-goods portion to a desired side; and   supporting the soft-goods portion of the mobile computer lapdesk with a support surface, wherein the moving of the filler material angles the desk portion with respect to the support surface.   
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19 , further comprising orienting the mobile computer at a user defined angle with respect to a desk surface of the desk portion in response to orienting the adjustable member to the user defined angle with respect to the desk surface.
