Abstract:
A computer docking station for supporting a portable computer includes a body with a cradle portion configured to support a portion of the portable computer, and an arm portion spaced from the cradle portion. A latching member is coupled with the arm portion and movable between a first position relative to the arm portion, in which the portable computer can be removed from the docking station, and a second position relative to the arm portion, in which the portable computer cannot be removed from the docking station. The computer moves the latching member from the second position to the first position, in a direction toward the cradle portion, as the computer is inserted into the docking station and the latching member automatically moves from the first position to the second position, in a direction away from the cradle portion, as the computer is fully inserted into the docking station.

Claim (Index 1):
A computer docking station for supporting a portable computer, the docking station comprising:\n a body having\n a cradle portion adjacent a first end of the body and configured to support a first portion of the portable computer, and \n a recess formed in the body adjacent a second opposite end of the body; \n a latching member configured to move in the recess and coupled with the body to engage a second portion of the portable computer, wherein the latching member is movable in a direction parallel to a plane between a first position, in which the portable computer can be removed from the docking station, and a second position, in which the portable computer cannot be removed from the docking station when the portable computer is fully inserted into the docking station, wherein when the portable computer is inserted into the docking station the portable computer moves the latching member from the second position to the first position and the latching member automatically moves from the first position to the second position as the portable computer moves past and clears the latching member as the portable computer is fully inserted into the docking station, and wherein the latching member is operable to cooperate with the cradle portion to removably hold the portable computer in the docking station; and an activation member that is accessible to a user and operatively associated with the latching member to manually move the latching member from the second position to the first position, wherein when the activation member moves the latching member from the second position to the first position the activation member moves in a first direction parallel to the plane toward the cradle portion.
