Modularized computer peripherals formed with universally adaptable shape for integration as an unit-body with a portable computer

Claim 2

A total-battery-replacement AC-to-DC adapter for providing DC input to a portable computer operable with a removable rechargeable battery provided for installation in a battery compartment in said portable computer, said adapter comprising: a plurality of circuits for converting an AC input voltage to a DC output voltage suitable for operating said portable computer; a containing means for containing and protecting said circuits therein, said containing means being designed and manufactured to fit into said battery compartment as a single total replacement of said removable rechargeable battery thus allowing said portable computer to operate without said rechargeable battery when said AC-to-DC adapter is installed in said battery compartment whereby said portable computer is more conveniently operated in achieving savings of space and preventing said rechargeable battery from extra discharging-and-charging cycles; a DC output plug provided for connecting to a DC wire when removed from said battery compartment thus provided for serving dual functions in providing a DC power input to said portable computer and providing a second DC power input through said DC output plug and said DC wire when removed from said battery compartment; and said containing means further includes a wire collector compartment constituting a unit body with said containing means for collecting and storing said DC wire therein for total replacement of said rechargeable battery when installed in said battery compartment thus constituting a configuration having a DC wire collected within a wire collector compartment in an AC-to-DC adapter inside said portable computer.

Claim 3

The total battery-replacement adapter of claim 1 further comprising: an AC input plug for receiving said AC input from an AC cable provided for connecting to an AC power source whereby said AC cable may be removed from said AC input plug and handled independently from said adapter.

Claim 4

The total battery-replacement adapter of claim 2 further comprising: said wire collector compartment further includes a means for collecting and storing said AC cable.

Claim 5

The adapter of claim 2 further wherein: said DC wire is removable from said AC-to-DC adapter for storing in said wire collector compartment.

Claim 6

A total-battery-replacement AC-to-DC adapter for providing DC input to a portable computer operable with a removable rechargeable battery provided for installation in a battery compartment in said portable computer, said adapter comprising: a plurality of circuits for converting an AC input voltage to a DC output voltage suitable for operating said portable computer; an AC input plug for receiving said AC input from an AC cable provided for connecting to an AC power source whereby said AC cable may be removed from said AC input plug and handled independently from said adapter; a containing means for containing and protecting said circuits therein, said containing means being designed and manufactured to fit into said battery compartment as a single total replacement of said removable rechargeable battery thus allowing said portable computer to operate without said rechargeable battery when said AC-to-DC adapter is installed in said battery compartment whereby said portable computer is more conveniently operated in achieving savings of space and preventing said rechargeable battery from extra discharging-and-charging cycles; a DC output plug provided for connecting to a DC wire when removed from said battery compartment thus provided for serving dual functions in providing a DC power input to said portable computer and providing a second DC power input through said DC output plug and said DC wire when removed from said battery compartment; and said containing means further includes a wire collector compartment constituting a unit body with said containing means for collecting and storing said DC wire therein for total replacement of said rechargeable battery when installed in said battery compartment thus constituting a configuration having a DC wire collected within a wire collecting compartment in an AC-to-DC adapter inside said portable computer.

Claim 7

A total-battery-replacement AC-to-DC adapter for providing DC input to a portable computer operable with a removable rechargeable battery provided for installation in a battery compartment in said portable computer, said adapter comprising: a plurality of circuits for converting an AC input voltage to a DC output voltage suitable for operating said portable computer; an AC input plug for receiving said AC input from an AC cable provided for connecting to an AC power source whereby said AC cable may be removed from said AC input plug and handled independently from said adapter; a containing means for containing and protecting said circuits therein, said containing means being designed and manufactured to fit into said battery compartment as a single total replacement of said removable rechargeable battery thus allowing said portable computer to operate without said rechargeable battery when said AC-to-DC adapter is installed in said battery compartment whereby said portable computer is more conveniently operated in achieving savings of space and preventing said rechargeable battery from extra discharging-and-charging cycles; a DC output plug provided for connecting to a DC wire when removed from said battery compartment thus provided for serving dual functions in providing a DC power input to said portable computer and providing a second DC power input through said DC output plug and said DC wire when removed from said battery compartment; and said containing means further includes a wire collector compartment constituting a unit body with said containing means for collecting and storing said DC wire therein for total replacement of said rechargeable battery when installed in said battery compartment thus constituting a configuration having a DC wire collected within a wire collecting compartment in an AC-to-DC adapter inside said portable computer.

Claim 8

A notebook computer operable with a plurality of peripherals comprising: a peripheral adaptable pocket being formed with a peripheral adaptable shape; and each of said peripherals of said notebook computer being formed with said peripheral adaptable shape for fitting into said pocket whereby each of said peripherals is modularized and flexibly removable and re-installable in said notebook computer; each of said peripheral further includes a DC plug for interconnecting to said notebook computer with a DC wire when removed from said pocket; and each of said peripheral further includes a DC wire collector compartment constituting a unit body with said peripheral for collecting and storing said DC wire therein for installing into said pocket thus constituting a configuration having a DC wire collected within a wire collector compartment in a peripheral inserted inside said notebook computer.

Claim 9

A notebook computer operable with a plurality of peripherals comprising: a peripheral adaptable pocket being formed with a peripheral adaptable shape; and each of said peripherals of said notebook computer being formed with said peripheral adaptable shape for fitting into said pocket whereby each of said peripherals is modularized and flexibly removable and re-installable in said notebook computer; each of said peripheral further includes a DC plug for interconnecting to said notebook computer with a DC wire when removed from said pocket; and each of said peripheral further includes a DC wire collector compartment constituting a unit body with said peripheral for collecting and storing said DC wire therein for installing into said pocket thus constituting a configuration having a DC wire collected within a wire collector compartment in a peripheral inserted inside said notebook computer.
