Abstract
A method for protecting a connection interface in a computer-docking assembly in which a computer-support assembly is partially rotated about an arm assembly while moving the computer-support assembly toward a connection interface of the base station. The computer-support assembly is generally aligned with the connection interface of the base station to posture the computer-support assembly in proximity to the interface connection of the base station for protecting the interface connection.
Claims5
A method for protecting an interface in a computer-docking assembly comprising:
- rotating at least partially a computer-support assembly about an arm assembly while moving the computer-support assembly toward a first side of a base station and while the arm assembly is at least partially rotating about the base station;
- and
- aligning generally an interface of the computer-support assembly with the first side of the base station to engage the computer-support assembly with the base station for protecting the interface of the computer-support assembly to pivotally secure the computer-support assembly to the base station,
- wherein said aligning the interface of the computer-support assembly to engage the computer-support assembly with the base station comprises engaging the interface of the computer-support assembly with an interface of the base station.

- and
- aligning generally an interface of the computer-support assembly with the first side of the base station to engage the computer-support assembly with the base station for protecting the interface of the computer-support assembly by aligning a first surface of the computer-support assembly with a top surface of the base station and a second surface of the computer-support assembly with a bottom surface of the base station, to configure the computer-docking assembly into a closed position by forming a unitary assembly.
