Abstract (en)
[origin: CA2441070A1] A carrying case (1) having a body (4) in which to transport a workstation including a personal computer, computer peripherals (e.g. a printer), and a source of battery power. Located within and extending along one side of the body (4) of the carrying case (1) is a shroud (12) having a cover (14) that is spaced above the body. Pockets (16, 18) are formed through the cover (14) at opposite ends of the shroud (12). A switch module (20) having a series of manually operable function switches (22) is removably received within one of the pockets (18) at one end of the shroud (12). A connector module (30) is removably received within the other pocket (16) at the opposite end of the shroud (12) and adapted to interconnect an available power source, the personal computer, and the computer peripherals within the body (4) of the carrying case (1) without having to disturb either the computer or the peripherals. The function switches (22) of the switch module (20) are selectively operated so that appropriate power and control signals are supplied to the computer and peripherals via the connector module (30).</SDO AB>
