ABSTRACT:
A connecting and latching mechanism in an electronic apparatus is activated by a portion of the housing of a complementary electronic device as it is inserted for interconnection and charging. Varying sizes of devices can be accommodated. Three rotatable elements, two pawls and a connector arm, are mounted on a single base plate. One pawl keeps the connector arm from being damaged before device insertion and helps position the device upon insertion. A connector block on the connector arm is rotated into position for contacting the terminals of the device by a second portion of the device housing. When the connector block is in full contact with the terminals, the connector arm is latched by another pawl. A lock must be deactivated by key or manually operated button to release the latching pawl, the connector arm and the inserted device. Rotatable charging contacts provide scouring motion at the contact points and also accommodate devices of varying lengths.
