ABSTRACT:
Dock apparatus is provided for the receiving of portable, hand-held data retrieval devices to allow recharging of internal batteries and data communication with centralized computer systems. A frame having electrical contact elements at its inner end receives the hand-held device, which at its lower end is provided with electrical contact pads which engage the contact elements of the receiving frame when the hand-held device is fully inserted in the frame. Detents within the frame engage mating indentations in the hand-held device. The dock frames may be ganged in plural arrangements.
