ABSTRACT:
A port replicator includes upper and lower cases including a plurality of ports. An inclined supporting surface is formed with a connector for electrical connection with a computer at a front top surface of the cases. An actuating lever is provided at one side of the cases and receives an actuating force from a user. A link mechanism is provided within the cases. A driving plate is provided within the cases and includes at least one pair of cam slots and push cams and linearly moves in response to the actuating force transmitted via the link mechanism. A pair of catching hooks are guided along the cam slots and include a catching protrusion exposed from the top surface of the cases capable of catching a groove formed on a bottom surface of the computer. Push protrusions are guided by the push cams and selectively protrude beyond the top surface of the cases, thereby pushing up the bottom surface of the computer when the catching hooks are unfastened from the computer.
