US Patent 7110252 Docking station with a releasing unit

A docking station includes a housing, an interlocking member, and a releasing unit mounted on the housing. The releasing unit includes a driving member movable relative to the housing in a driving direction for moving the interlocking member from a locking position to an unlocking position, an operating lever pivoted to the housing so as to be rotatable relative to the housing, and a transmission linkage interconnecting the driving member and the operating member in such a manner that rotation of the operating lever in a rotating direction results in movement of the driving member in the driving direction through the transmission linkage.
