Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a first machine assembly, a second machine assembly having a pushing part and a first locking part, and a connection mechanism. The connection mechanism connecting the first and the second machine assemblies includes a body, a driven element having a second locking part and a third locking part, and a fourth locking part disposed on the body. Two ends of the body are pivoted to the first assembly and the second assembly respectively. The driven element is movably disposed on the body. When the second assembly is at a first position and the connection mechanism is at a second position, the second assembly is located above the first assembly, the pushing part and the first locking part are far from the connection mechanism, and the fourth locking part locks the third locking part to restrict the relative movement between the driven element and the body.

Abstract: An ejection mechanism for modular electronic elements is used for ejecting a modular electronic element housed in a housing chamber of an electronic device. The ejection mechanism is located in the housing chamber. By moving only one driving member, the latching relationship of the modular electronic element may be released and the modular electronic element may be ejected out of the housing chamber to facilitate replacement of various types of modular electronic elements.

Abstract: An assembly of a notebook computer and a docking station includes a locking apparatus for locking the computer on the station. The apparatus includes a front retaining unit attached to the station and engaged within a front recess unit in the front end portion of the computer, and a rear retaining unit attached to the station and engaged within a rear recess unit in the rear end portion of the computer. In this situation, the computer is coupled completely with a connector unit on the station. Because the front and rear end portions of the computer are locked on the station by means of the retaining units which constitute a double lock, the computer cannot be removed forcibly from the station without disengaging the retaining units from the recess units.

Abstract: A dock for connecting a notebook computer to a personal computer, having a casing having a top notebook computer bearing wall, a sliding block longitudinally moved in the casing, an actuating arm transversely fastened to the sliding block, and two guide mechanisms bilaterally disposed inside the casing and partially projecting out of the top notebook computer bearing wall of the casing for guiding the notebook computer into position, each guide mechanism including a guide block, a spring imparting a downward pulling force to the guide block and a pivoted push rod forced by the actuating arm to push the guide block out of the top notebook bearing wall for guiding the notebook computer into position, wherein when the notebook computer is loaded and moved into position, the sliding block is pushed forwards to move the actuating arm away from the pivoted push rods of the guide mechanisms, causing the guide blocks of the guide mechanisms to be pulled downwards from the top notebook bearing wall and received inside
