Abstract
A stowable docking module includes a translation housing received within a housing sub-assembly for translation between a first, stowed position and a second, deployed position. A docking station sub-assembly is mounted to the translation housing and is pivotably mounted to the translation housing to pivot between a stowed position and a deployed position. The docking station sub-assembly includes a first hook member having a first gripping position and a second gripping position. The first hook member is moveable on the docking station between the first gripping position and the second gripping position. A second hook member is secured to the docking station and arranged to oppose the first hook member. An electronic device may be docked in the stowable docking module by securing the device between the first hook member and the second hook member.
