Abstract: When an electronic device (e.g., a notebook personal computer) (5) is mounted on an accessory (1), functions of the electronic device (5) are added. To detach the electronic device 85) from the accessory (1), operation levers (37) provided at the rear portions of both sides of the accessory (1) are operated. Since any force necessary to detach the electronic device (5) is not applied until the operation levers (37) are opened to a predetermined angle, the operability of the operation levers (37) does not deteriorate even if the operation levers (37) are so designed as not to project from the accessory (1) in view of the appearance of the accessory (1). To prevent the electronic device from being stolen, a control plate provided in the accessory (1) is set in a predetermined position, and a key (10) is inserted into a lock part (9) fitted to the accessory (1) and rotated so as not to allow the operation levers (37) to be opened.

Abstract: The function of an electronic device (e.g., a portable personal computer) (5) is extended when the electronic device is mounted on an accessory (1). An operation lever (37) attached to the accessory (1) is operated to separate the electronic device (5) from the accessory (1). Operation parts (30, 31) are operated to take out mechanical equipment (8, 15) housed in the accessory (1). There is a setting which enables both the operation lever (37) and the operation parts (30, 31) to be operated, a setting which enables the operation lever (37) to be operated and unables the operation parts (30, 31) to be operated, and a setting which unables both the operation lever (37) and the operation parts (30, 31) to be operated. The user can select a desired setting by position operation of a lock object selecting part (46). The position operation of the lock object selecting part (46) is inhibited by inserting a key (10) into a locking part (9) attached to the accessory (1) and by turning the key (10).

Abstract: A separation type feature expanding device comprises an attachment device comprising a bottom supporting flat portion on which a notebook personal computer is mounted, and a port replicator portion provided in a rear end of the bottom supporting flat portion and having a terminal portion to which a terminal portion provided on the back surface of the notebook personal computer is removably connected, and a feature expanding unit containing one or more feature expanding devices of the notebook personal computer, having its upper end surface on which the bottom supporting flat portion in the attachment device is mounted, and having a terminal portion to which the terminal portion of the port replicator portion in the attachment device is removably connected.

Abstract: A docking station box for functional expansion of portable electronic equipment that has a table with a vertically upstanding back wall to which is mounted a part of a connector corresponding to a connector part of the electronic equipment. The box includes at least one hook that is moved from a position below the table to one above the table to engage the electronic equipment to mount it securely thereon. The docking station box also includes a mechanism for thrusting the electronic equipment away from the position in which the connector parts of the box and the electronic equipment are engaged.

Abstract: There is provided a modified two-part type adhesive composition comprising liquid I composed of an acrylic monomer, an organic peroxide, and, if necessary, a gelation stabilizer and liquid II composed of an acrylic monomer, a curing accelerator, and, if necessary, a gelation stabilizer, at least one of the liquids containing a modified nitrile rubber in an amount of 2 to 50% by weight, and said modified nitrile rubber having carboxyl groups and the carboxyl groups being bonded to a (meth)acrylic group-containing acid phosphate through partially a covalent bond and partially an ionic bond.

Abstract: A printer which is provided with a daisy wheel so that the types thereof are brought into contact with an ink roller to thereby apply ink onto the types and constructed to be disposed the ink roller at the position at an angle of 90.degree. or less circumferential of the daisy wheel from the printing position.The position of the types is grouped into two regions defined in connection with the ink roller set position and the rotation direction of the daisy wheel is decided by the region in which the types to be printed are positioned, in order to get high printing speed.The fingers located at a portion corresponding to the ink roller set position when the daisy wheel is in a printing-stand-by condition are smaller in length than others and have no type respectively, thereby preventing the daisy wheel from being deformation.

Abstract: There are provided two-part type adhesives composed of two liquid systems, exhibiting marked stabilization without impairing its adhesion property. One liquid system thereof comprises an acrylic monomer, an organic peroxide, and a metal salt of which the metal is an alkali metal, zinc or nickel; the other liquid system comprises an acrylic monomer and a curing accelerator; and at least one of the liquid systems further contains an elastomer.
