Abstract
The present invention provides an electronic apparatus and a docking station, thereby solving the conventional technical problem that the electronic apparatus is damaged because it cannot sustain the excessive force applied by the user to the auxiliary device during separating the electronic apparatus from the auxiliary device since the electronic apparatus is coupled to the auxiliary device by the spring and the engagement mechanism. The electronic apparatus comprises a first body including N first coupling members; a second body including N second coupling members mated with the first coupling members, wherein when the first body and the second body are kept in contact with each other, the first body is coupled to the second body by cooperation of the N first coupling members and the N second coupling members if the first body and the second body are in a first relative position, and the first body is decoupled from the second body so that the first body is separable from the second body by cooperation of the N first coupling members and the N second coupling members if the first body and the second body are in a second relative position different from the first relative position…
