ABSTRACT:
A docking apparatus for docking a portable data collection terminal in a vehicle is disclosed. The docking apparatus comprises a housing having a terminal cup mounted therein. The terminal cup may pivot about a horizontal axis to facilitate insertion and removal of the data collection terminal. A lever arm assembly may be depressed by a user causing the terminal cup to pivot to facilitate removal of a portable data collection terminal. The lever arm assembly may provide guides which position the data collection terminal for insertion into the terminal cup and prevent lateral movement of the portable data collection terminal once it is fully inserted therein. A retention pin assembly may secure the portable data collection terminal within the docking apparatus.
