Locking mechanism

A method comprising:

• providing an interconnection mechanism for pivotable interconnection of a first component and a second component about a pivot axis;
• providing an actuator for, upon actuation, disconnecting the second component from the interconnection mechanism;
• providing a sliding bar positionable in an obstructing position to obstruct the actuation of an actuator and positionable in an unobstructing position to permit the actuation of the actuator;
• providing the first component and the second component pivotably interconnected via the interconnection mechanism;
• and
• positioning the sliding bar in the unobstructing position.

An assembly comprising:

• a first component that comprises a keyboard;
• a second component that comprises a display and a processor;
• and
• an interconnection mechanism for pivotable interconnection of the first component and the second component about a pivot axis wherein the interconnection mechanism comprises
• a latch mechanism to latch the second component to the interconnection mechanism,
• an actuator to unlatch the latch mechanism, and
• a piece that comprises a slot for receipt of an obstruction to obstruct actuation of the actuator.
