ABSTRACT:
An expansion unit (24) that adds functions to a main computer unit (12) connects to it without cabling. The main unit (12) rests on the expansion unit, and electrical connections between the two units are thereby made automatically by complementary connectors (36, 134) on the upper surface (22) of the expansion unit and the lower surface (20) of the main unit. To insure engagement of the connectors, which the user cannot see when the main unit (12) is placed on the expansion unit (24), locating pins (26, 28) are provided on the upper surface (22) of the expansion unit (24), and guide surfaces (52, 60) guide the pins (26, 28) into the proper position as the main unit is being lowered. The two units (12, 24) are thereby properly positioned with respect to each other. To accommodate tolerances in the positioning of the connectors within the unit, the connector (36) on the expansion unit (24) is allowed to move slightly with respect to the main unit ( 12), and further guide surfaces (66) guide the connector (36) on the expansion unit (24) into engagement with the connector (134) in the main unit (12).
