Claim 0:
1. An apparatus for mounting an object within a vehicle, the object having a first main surface, a second main surface opposite the first main surface, and one or more peripheral side surfaces at least partially surrounding the first main surface, at least one of the one or more peripheral side surfaces including one or more electrical contacts, the apparatus comprising:
a base configured to receive the object, the base comprising a mounting surface and a docking surface projecting from and fixedly coupled to the mounting surface, the mounting surface facing the second main surface of the object when the object is received by the base, the docking surface facing the at least one of the one or more peripheral side surfaces of the object when the object is received by the base;
a docking connector coupled to the docking surface, the docking connector configured to electrically connect with the one or more electrical contacts of the object, the docking connector movable relative to the docking surface between a first position and a second position; and
one or more biasing elements configured to bias the docking connector,
wherein when the docking connector is electrically connected with the one or more electrical contacts, the second main surface of the object is positioned obliquely relative to the mounting surface in the first position of the docking connector, and the second main surface of the object is aligned in contact with the mounting surface in the second position of the docking connector, and
wherein the docking connector is pivotable around a pivot axis, and the one or more biasing elements comprises one or more elastic springs which are unaligned with the pivot axis in order to bias the docking connector away from the second position and toward the first position.
