An improved handle/prop is provided for a pen-based computer wherein the handle/prop is pivotally mounted to opposite side edges of the computer. The handle/prop can be pivoted and locked into a plurality of different positions These positions are selected to facilitate carrying the computer, supporting the computer on a flat surface in one or more inclined positions for writing and/or viewing, and holding the computer during writing. In particular, to facilitate writing on the computer screen while holding the computer, the handle/prop is mounted so that it can be swung into a recessed position behind an overlapping portion of the front display surface. This will minimize the size of the computer and minimize interference with holding the computer and writing on its screen at the same time.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Accordingly, one object of the present invention is to provide a convenient handle/prop arrangement for a pen-based computer that will permit both carrying and supporting the pen-based computer in various positions.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a handle/prop arrangement which will permit carrying the computer, supporting the computer in at least two different positions on a table or other flat surface, and holding the computer with the handle/prop conveniently out of the way.
To achieve these and other objects, the present invention provides a pen-based computer having a handle/prop pivotally mounted to opposite side edges of the computer.
The handle/prop can be pivoted and locked into a plurality of different positions.
In particular, these positions are arranged to facilitate carrying the computer, supporting the computer for writing and viewing on a flat surface, and holding the computer during writing.
