    摘要: A space-saving docking station is usable to support a notebook computer docked thereto in a generally vertical, hinge-side up opened orientation on a desktop area with the computer lid display screen exposed and facing the computer user. The docking station includes a generally wedge-shaped expansion base to a front side of which the computer base housing may be electrically coupled to connect to notebook computer to desktop peripheral devices such as a keyboard and mouse, and a stand structure for supporting the expansion base, and thus the docked computer, in the space-saving vertical orientation in which the exposed notebook computer display screen is elevated relative to the desktop area and may be utilized in conjunction with the desktop keyboard and mouse.

    摘要: An external peripheral device connects through a flexible cable to an electrical connector which connects to a computer system. The flexible cable wraps around a cable wrap member that protrudes out of the peripheral device's housing, and the electrical connector snaps into a connector holder built into the peripheral device's housing. The cable wrap member and the connector holder permit the secure storage of the flexible cable and electrical connector during non-use or transportation of the device.

    摘要: A base cabinet system is provided for a laptop computer, on which the laptop can be placed for expanded home-based use. A reinforced removable cover arches over the top of the base cabinet so that the laptop can be slid into position on top of the base cabinet and beneath the cover, and the monitor rested on the top of the cover; when one wishes to use the laptop display, the monitor and cover are easily removed to permit tilt-up of the laptop display. Special retaining devices are provided to assure that the cover seats itself and remains in its proper installed position, and special guides are provided to assure that when the laptop is slid into position the connector on its rear side will mate properly with the corresponding connector on the base cabinet. A leveraged actuator system is provided so that an operator, by exerting a modest force on a manual actuator at the front of the system, can apply a multiplied force between base cabinet and laptop computer to disengage the laptop connector from the base cabinet connector.
