ABSTRACT:
A docking station that has vertical restraints that are pressed down by the bottom surface of the portable computer. This causes the vertical restraints to engage receptacles that are formed in the bottom side of the portable computer. To disengage the portable computer from the docking station the computer must be moved laterally to release the vertical restraints from the portable computer. This prevents the portable computer and the docking station from being damaged by a user when the portable computer is lifted off of the docking station in an improper manner.
