Abstract
A docking station suitable for detachably assembling to an electronic device is provided. A bracket of the docking station includes a housing, a pushing element, a restoring element, and a main hook. When the pushing element is slid relative to the housing through the restoring element so the main hook is buckled to a main groove of the electronic device, a main hook relation between the bracket and the electronic device is established. When the pushing element is slid relative to the housing so the main hook departs from the main groove, a secondary hook of the docking station establishes a secondary hook relation between the bracket and the electronic device. When the electronic device is removed from the bracket until the secondary hook relation between the bracket and the electronic device is released, the restoring element restores the pushing element relative to the housing.
