    摘要： A portable computer docking station housing is provided on its bottom side with a support foot structure which is pivotable relative to the housing to prop it up on a horizontal work station surface in a selectively variable one of a series of different front-to-rear tilt angles thereon. This permits the opened display screen of a docked portable computer disposed on the top side of the docking station housing to be selectively adjusted upwardly and downwardly in a vertical plane to accommodate the height and viewing preferences of a user of the docked computer. A specially designed spring-loaded, manually operable clutch mechanism is useable to releasably lock the support foot in its selected pivotal orientation relative to the housing. Various peripheral device connection ports are conveniently incorporated in the support foot.

    摘要： A docking station for a portable computer has a top side from which peripheral rib structures upwardly project and form a receiving and holding area into which the computer may be lowered in preparation for docking. The receiving and holding area complementarily receives the computer, with the rib structures preventing the computer from shifting parallel to the top docking station side. A lever structure is then manually pivoted to responsively move a docking station electrical connector relative to the stationary computer into a releasably mated relationship with a corresponding connector on the computer to complete the docking process. The rotation of the docking lever also interlocks a security latch member with the computer to block its upward removal from the docking station. A Kensington lock may be used to hold the lever in its docking orientation, and thus keep the security latch interlocked with the docked computer. The computer may subsequently be undocked by simply removing the lock and pivoting the lever back to its original position to move the docking station connector out of engagement with the computer connector.

    摘要： A portable notebook computer has a base housing with a keyboard structure movably supported on its top side. The keyboard structure is movable relative to the base housing between a forwardly disposed, generally horizontal storage and transport orientation and a rearwardly shifted use orientation in which the keyboard structure is upwardly and rearwardly tilted. When the keyboard structure is in its storage and transport orientation a front side portion thereof covers an underlying pointing device, representatively a trackball device. When the keyboard structure is rearwardly shifted to its use orientation it uncovers the pointing device for operation by the computer user. Due to this vertical stacking of the keyboard structure and pointing device, the front-to-rear dimension of the computer base housing may be advantageously reduced. Additionally, due to the rearwardly and upwardly tilted use orientation of the keyboard structure its user operating comfort is enhanced.

    摘要： The front side edge of the display lid portion of a notebook computer has a relatively shallow reverse draft angle of approximately five to fifteen degrees thereon and, with the display lid in its downwardly pivoted closed position on the computer's base housing, is rearwardly offset from the front side of the base housing in a manner exposing a relatively narrow front top side surface portion of the base housing. Because of the slight undercut in its front side edge resulting from the reverse draft thereon, the grasping of the front side edge, to upwardly pivot the display lid from its closed position to its open use orientation, is made appreciably easier. Additionally, when the closed computer is viewed from its front side the rearward and downward slope of the front side edge of the lid creates a shadow thereon which serves to highlight the exposed front top side surface portion of the base housing and give the overall housing structure the desirable appearance of being vertically thinner than it actually is. LCD operating lights are placed on the exposed front top side portion of the base housing and are thus visible to the user even when the display lid in its closed orientation.
