摘要:
A docking device for a portable computer which can be utilized with a number of portable computers having diverse sizes is disclosed. The docking device includes a body having a number of electronic components disposed therein adapted to be electrically connected to a portable computer. A surface supported by the body is adapted to slidably receive a portable computer selected from among the number of portable computers having diverse sizes. Adjacent to the surface, at least two electrical connectors are disposed, including a first connector rotatably supported by the body which is rotatable between a first position and a second position. The selected portable computer may be electrically connected to the number of electrical components via only the first electrical connector when the first electrical connector is in the first position and may be electrically connected to the number of electronic components via only the second electrical connector when the first electrical connector is in the second position. In a preferred embodiment, the surface is a tray which slides between a docked position at which the selected portable computer is electrically connected to the electronic components via one of the electrical connectors and an undocked position at which the selected portable computer is disconnected from the electronic components. According to a preferred embodiment, when the first electrical connector is in the first position, the first electrical connector extends further from the body along the direction in which the tray slides than the second electrical connector.

Provision of an extension-type battery pack which is improved in safety thereof against dropping and impact application. Although a battery pack is susceptible to damage caused by an impact since partial battery cells are located outside the outline of a notebook PC when it is mounted on the notebook PC, the battery pack is provided with a partition wall structure including an air space and a fireproof wall formed of a material which does not melt at a temperature of combustible gas discharged from a gas discharge valve of the respective battery cells. The material of the fireproof wall is preferably mica or the like. The partition wall structure can be provided between an inside battery compartment and an outside battery compartment of the battery pack or can be provided among other battery cells. This prevents fire spreading to other battery cells even if high-temperature combustible gas is discharged from a battery cell damaged by an impact or the like.

The present invention is directed to a computer in which an optional unit such as a unit including a wireless LAN adapter is installable. The computer including at least a computer body, a display, and a keyboard. The invention is also directed to a note book computer 2, which includes a computer body with a keyboard, and a display workable as a lid being opened and closed free with the computer body. In these computers with an optional unit 14, the optional unit is detachably attached to the top of the display, or the optional unit is detachably attached to a portion of the display, the portion being at a side of the display when the lid is closed and being at a top of the display when the lid is opened.

To provide a portable computer in which a height and angle of a display can be adjusted even in a restricted installation space. In a notebook type personal computer, at an approximately middle portion in a high and low direction of an LCD unit, disposed in a lid, there is provided a hinge, which enables the LCD unit to pivot around a rotation axis crossing perpendicularly with the high and low direction of the LCD unit. This hinge is mounted so as to be movable in the high and low direction of the frame, and is disposed at a higher position than a top of the frame. Thereby, even when rear space where the notebook type PC is installed is restricted, it is possible to adjust the height and angle of the LCD unit, and to make such setting as to enable the display screen to be easily watched.
