    Patent number: 6319034
    Abstract: To prevent a portable electronic apparatus from being scratched when the portable electronic apparatus is connected to an interface station, the interface station is arranged by an operation member moved by being externally manipulated; a movable member moved in association with the movement of the operation member; a supporting member for supporting a portable electronic apparatus; and a first connecting terminal provided on the movable member, for electrically connecting the portable electronic apparatus. The portable electronic apparatus is held by both the supporting member and the movable member, so that the portable electronic apparatus is electrically connected via the interface station to an external information processing apparatus. In this interface station, an opening portion is formed in one of the operation member and the movable member; and a convex portion inserted into the opening portion is formed on the remainder of the operation member and the movable member.
