Abstract
Abstract A transportable data system includes two units (3, 4) which are fitted in a rigid case which includes a lid (2) and a bottom part. When the lid is closed, the one unit (3), which is supported by a carrier plate, is located above the other unit (4), whereas when the case is open, with the lid substantially vertical, the one unit can be moved towards and partially into the lid, so as expose the other unit (4) and bring it to a working position. Provided are two separate side - walls (14, 15) which are fitted firmly to the bottom part (1), and each of which has an upper guide rail (6, 7). The guide rails are parallel with the bottom part and also with one another. Furthermore, the carrier plate (5) is displaceably mounted on the guide rails.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
182 words
A transportable data system comprising at least two mutually cooperating units (3, 4), for instance a personal computer and a printer, said system being fitted in a rigid case which includes a lid (2) and a bottom part (1) and, in which system when the case is closed the one unit (3), which is supported by a displaceable carrier plate (5), is located above the other (4) of said units, and when the case is open, with the lid (2) substantially vertical, can be displaced towards and partially into the lid so as to expose the said other unit (4) so that said other unit will come into a working position, characterised in that firmly attached to the bottom part of the case (1) are two separate side-wall elements (14, 15) each of which has an upper guide rail (18, 19, 20) which is parallel with said bottom part, said guide rails being parallel with each other, and in that the carrier plate (5) is displaceably mounted on the guide rails 18, 19, 20 with the aid of guide means (21, 22).
