Abstract
Disclosed is a docking station for holding an electronic device including a main body, a vertical support, a horizontal support, a cut-out in the horizontal support, and an ejection mechanism. The ejection mechanism includes a base member, a top member, an extension member disposed on the top member, an electrical connector disposed on the extension member, and a first and second bars hingedly connecting the base member to the top member. The top member is configured to be disposed in a first position in which the electrical connector is disposed at a first height with respect to the horizontal support and substantially parallel to the vertical support. The top member is further configured to be disposed in a second position in which the electrical connector is disposed at a second height with respect to the horizontal member and substantially non-parallel with the vertical support. The second height is less than the first height.
