DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
• As shown inFIG. 1, the bag computer is comprised of abag1 with a pivotingdisplay panel22 having adisplay11 facing upward104 toward the wearer/operator when the display panel is pivoted away from and approximately perpendicular to the bag front and in an operating position (shown inFIGS. 3,10B and11B). The bag may have afront wall45, a top wall30 (showing its outside surface) with anopening49 to access the interior of the bag. Each wall has an outside surface and an opposite inside surface. The outside surface of the bag front wall may include a computer equipment storage area43 (approximate area on bag front bounded by the dotted line) and the bag may include a pivotingcover31 to protect the equipment in the storage area. The cover may be attached near the bottom of the computer storage area and pivot to selectively cover or expose the computer storage area. The display panel is attached to the bag so that it may pivot on a firsthorizontal axis89 near the junction of the top andfront bag walls23 or near the top end of thefront wall23. In operating position, the display panel is pivoted away from the bag front into the line of sight of a bag computer wearer/operator. When stored, the display panel is approximately parallel to the bag front and in the computer equipment storage area.
• The display panel may be attached to the bag in a variety of ways. The display panel may be attached to the bag using a pivoting computer equipment mount (PCEM) which may be located on the exterior of a bag wall, for example, near the junction of the top and front bag walls or near the top end of the front wall.

The fastening frame may also include prop fixtures, such as a prop or propholders66, to assist in propping the display panel in various angles relative to the bag front wall.
• The fastening frame may haveattachments61, such as dips, for holding the fastening frame, front sidedisplay panel portion37 and back sidedisplay panel portion36 together. The fastening frame may includebumpers65 to soften the contact between or provide a gap between the backside of the display panel and the bag front wall.
• Shown here, the front side display panel portion and back side display panel portion may have electrical connections, such aswires8, plugs orsockets10, for electrically connecting them to each other and/or to a computing unit, peripheral or batteries located elsewhere on or in the bag.
• Shown inFIG. 7 andFIG. 7A (with the display/control combination panel in two portions), the display panel maybe comprised of anattachment frame62 which may hold a front sidedisplay panel portion37, a back sidedisplay panel portion36 and/or a display/control combination panel83 to the bag. The front side display panel portion, a back side display panel portion and/or a display/control combination panel may be made of thin film and may be made using thin film technology (TFT). The attachment frame may have afront side77 which maybe reduced to a rim to hold the display panel portions or combination panel in place. The attachment frame may have aback side78, this view showing the inside surface of the back side, which may also be a rim or may include finger guides and/orfinger guide openings63 which allow access to the back side display panel portion or combination panel control side (see85—FIG. 9B) such as a touch pad. The attachment frame has aproximal edge79 on or near which a pivoting computer equipment mount display panel part may be located. This mount is designed to match a pivoting computer equipment mount bag part on the bag and attach the attachment frame to the bag. The attachment frame may have adistal edge80. When the attachment frame is assembled, the attachment frame proximal edge may be the same as the display panel attachment edge. The attachment frame may haveprops74 which may be leg-like extensions of the display panel on or near the proximal edge.
• The pivoting computer equipment mount display panel part may be a clamp with twojaws21 meant to attach to an attachment flap on the bag.
• The attachment frame may have aslot82 fitting and designed for slidably receiving the front side display panel portion, a back side display panel portion and/or a display/control combination panel83 onto the attachment frame. Here, one of the damp jaws may be used to hold the display panel portions or combination panel in place and the damp may include a notch to allow an electrical connection to pass by without damage.
• Shown inFIG. 8A, a view from the top, andFIG. 8B, a view from the bottom, theattachment frame62front side77 and backside78 may be separate parts. Each of the sides has aproximal edge79, closest to the connection with the bag when installed, an outward facingsurface94 and inward facingsurface95. These two parts may be held together withattachments35 such as screws and sockets, dips or other matching attachment parts.
• The two attachment frame sides are configured to hold the display/control combination panel83 between them. The two parts may form a damp for the display/control panels.
• The attachment frame back side may includefinger guide openings63 and/or finger guideridges64 to facilitate locating and accessing the controls.
• The attachment frame front side may include an opening to view the display.
• On or near theproximal edge79 of thefront side77 and/or backside78 there may be located a pivoting computer equipment mount display panel part to hold the attachment frame to the bag. In this case the pivoting computer equipment mount is a damp with twojaws21 comprised of the proximal edge areas of the front and back attachment frame sides. Near the proximal edge of the front side and/or back side there may be one ormore props74 to abut the bag front and hold the display panel at angled relative the bag front.
• The display/control combination panel83 includes adisplay panel side84 with a display and acontrol side85 with at least one control. The display/control combination panel may include anelectrical connection32 designed to connect the panel to electrical equipment attached to the bag or peripherals held within the bag. The connection may be a wire with a connector such as a plug or socket.
• FIG. 9A shows that theattachment frame62front side77 and backside78 may be separate parts. These parts may be pivotally attached on an edge, for example, with a hinge or with a frame with shape and flexible frame material in the pivotingaxis81 suitable for pivoting. The front side display panel portion, a back side display panel portion and/or a display/control combination panel may be installed into the attachment frame between the two parts and the two parts dosed together, in this case with two dampingjaws21. A separate pivoting computer equipment mount display panel part of any sort may be used on or near the proximal edge of either the front side, back side or both sides to attach the attachment frame to the bag. The attachment frame front side and/or back side parts may be shaped to fit and hold the display panel portions or display/control combination. One or both of the damping parts may include anotch103 to allow an electrical connection to pass by without damage.
• The attachment frame may include one or more prop fixtures, such as one ormore props74 fixed to the frame near the proximal edge or to the back side. The prop may be pivotally attached to the attachment frame.
• Instead of a front side display panel portion and/or a back side display panel portion, a display/control combination panel may be used in the attachment frame. The display/control combination panel is a single panel that has adisplay side84 that includes a display, aproximal end86, closest to the attachment frame proximal edge when installed, and adistal end87, distal to the attachment frame proximal edge. When installed into the attachment frame, the display side is next to and showing through the attachment frame front side and the control surface is next to and accessible through the attachment frame back side.
• Shown inFIG. 9B, the display/control combination panel83 has acontrol side85 which includes controls. The controls may be a touch pad and this may be segmented into several separate touch pads (for example85a,85b,85c) to match finger guide openings and sense different control signals from the operator. The touch pads may include controls for a camera mounted to the frame such as a scroll for digitally aiming the camera and/or a control for inverting the image. The display/control combination panel may have anelectrical connection8 to connect the panel with a computing unit, peripheral or batteries.
• The attachment edge of the display panel is the place of attachment of the pivoting attachment to the bag. The attachment edge may be the entire edge of the display panel or it may be just a portion of the edge of the display panel. If a prop is included on the display panel attachment edge and extends from the right side edge to left side edge of the display panel, especially when the prop is on a plane parallel to the display panel, the attachment edge may not seem to be on an edge of the display panel but, rather, somewhat distal from an edge and on the front or back side of the display panel. The attachment edge is the place of attachment of the display panel to the pivoting computer equipment mount bag part. As shown inFIG. 10A andFIG. 10B, the attachment edge of thedisplay panel22 may be anattachment point91. The attachment point allows the connection of afilament88, such as a cord, electrical wires or other flexible line, from thebag1 to the display panel. This kind of attachment may be used in conjunction with one ormore props74 fixed to the display panel (at the attachment edge for example) to allow the display to pivot a secondhorizontal axis90 perpendicular to the plane of thebag front wall45. This type of propping means is simple to make and use and is adapted to use gravity to hold the display panel at angles relative to the surface of an object, especially where the surface is vertical. The display panel can prop at angles approximately 0 to 180degrees 180 relative to an up/down axis (the pull of gravity).
• As shown inFIG. 11A (storage position),FIG. 11B (operating position) andFIG. 11C (magnification of the attachment flap region) the bag's1display panel22 may include two props, aright prop74aandleft prop74b,located to the right and left of a free section113 (hereshown as an attachment flap13)right edge99 and free sectionleft edge100. When the display panel is in the storage position approximately parallel to and in front of the bag front (FIG. 11A), the props are nearer thejunction23 of the top and front walls than theattachment edge5 and are not under the attachment flap. Thus the props act as levers against the free section (shown as an attachment flap) to hold the display panel in the storage position and the attachment flap is directly between the top/front wall junction and the attachment edge instead of passing over the thickness of the display panel. In this arrangement, the props can function as storage levers against the free section or attachment flap to assist in holding the display panel against the bag'sfront wall45 while in storage position and prevent the display panel from swinging from side to side.
• The attachment flap may include a movablefree section113 holding the display panel to the bag and suspending it in various angles, and adistal section114, used to attach the attachment flap to the display panel. As the free section suspends the display panel, theprops74a,74babut the bag front and hold the display panel at angles relative to the bag front.
• In this case, the attachment flap is a type of attachment means with two horizontal pivot axes parallel to the bag front (FIG. 11C). The two horizontal pivot axes are the first horizontal pivot axis parallel to thebag front89a(near the bag) and second horizontal pivot axis parallel to thebag front89b(near the display panel). Instead of an attachment flap, the attachment means with two horizontal pivot axes may be, for example, a plastic or leather sheet with hinge means at the first horizontal pivot axis and second horizontal pivot axis, a wire bent to form two axles near the two axes with connecting side bars or other means to attach the two horizontal pivot axes with some distance between them. Other arrangement maybe imagined.
• The attachment flap may be attached to the display panel in a variety of means including a damp or axle matching a loop sewn in the end of the attachment flap.
• Shown inFIG. 12, thedisplay panel22 may be attached to theattachment flap13 using adisplay panel axle96 which passes through one or moredisplay panel bearings97 and through one or moreattachment flap loops98 at the end of the attachment flap distal to the bag. In this case, the axle comprises the attachment edge of the display panel. Theright prop74aand theleft prop74bmay be located to the right and left of the attachment flap so they are not under the attachment flap when the display panel is in storage position.
• As shown inFIGS. 13 and 14, theattachment frame62front side77 and attachment frame backside78 may be shaped so that when they are attached the frame is easier for the operator to handle. Also shown, there the frame may be hollow105 such as including one or more channels, to pass anelectrical connection32 from a tool located on the frame (such as a camera) through the frame and out of the frame to connect to other electrical equipment. The hollow frame combined with a thin film front side display panel portion, a back side display panel portion and/or a display/control combination panel can make the display panel simpler to make and lighter in weight. The frame may be made of light weight molded plastic, plastic foam, foam filled plastic film (such as Mylar or other polyester film), or other light weight material.
• As shown inFIG. 15, the pivotingcover31 of thebag1 may be shaped to fit the shape of thedisplay panel frame62.
• Shown inFIG. 16A and magnified inFIG. 16B, theattachment frame62 may include acamera105 positioned for easy use. The camera may include aswivel108 designed to allow the camera to physically move and face at an angle106 (for example, greater than 180 degrees) so as to allow the camera image to show the operator/wearer's face (toward operator) or, alternatively, to show the image that the operator is looking at (away from operator).
• Alternatively, as shown inFIG. 17A and 17B (magnified) theattachment frame62camera105 may include a wide angle orultra-wide angle lens107 such as a “fish-eye” lens with a large angle106 (for example, greater than 180 degrees) along one axis. The large angle of the lens may be oriented to pan on an axis parallel to the pivoting computer equipment mount pivoting angle. This type of lens may be combined with a matching image receiving unit which is designed with pixel distribution to takes away the distortion allowing the operator to digitally/electronically pan a large angle to allow the camera image to show toward or away from the operator. The wide angle of the lens may be oriented to pan on an axis parallel to the pivoting computer equipment mount pivoting angle. The back side of the display panel may include controls to aim the camera. These may include a control, such as a touchpad, with matchingscroll finger guide109 and/or a control, such as a touchpad, and matchingfinger guide110 for inverting the camera image. The lens may have mirroring or polarization to reduce glare.
• In a third alternative, Shown inFIG. 18A and 18B (magnified), thecamera105 may be comprised of three lens/receiving units111 facing in different directions, for example, facing 90 degrees from each other. The lens/receiving unit image to alternatively show the operator/wearer'sface111a(toward operator) the image that the operator is looking at111b(away from operator) or the image shown an angle between those two111c(away from the attachment frame distal edge). The choice of lens/receiving unit may be selected by one or more finger guides112 on the frame.
