Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to a docking station module for a computer docking station. The docking station module comprises a latching mechanism, the latching mechanism comprising a latch moveable between an unlatched position and a latched position, and a retainer moveable between a blocking position and an unblocked position. In the blocking position the retainer prevents movement of the latch to the unlatched position and in the unblocked position movement of the latch to the unlatched position is permitted. An actuator moves the retainer between the blocking and unblocked position. A connection surface is configured to enable the docking station module to be connected to a docking station cradle.
