Definitions
- a docking station allows laptop computers to become a substitute for a desktop computer without sacrificing the mobile computing functionality of the machine.
- port replicator-type docking stations allow multiple peripherals—such as a keyboard, a printer, a mouse, and/or one or more monitors— to be connected to the laptop simultaneously by simply connecting the laptop to the docking station.
- peripherals such as a keyboard, a printer, a mouse, and/or one or more monitors— to be connected to the laptop simultaneously by simply connecting the laptop to the docking station.
- the user can get access to an external full-sized keyboard, standard mouse, full-size monitor(s), a printer/scanner and a wired network connection when working in the office environment.
- Ergonomic positioning of the external keyboard and monitor allow the user to assume a more comfortable, neutral posture at the workstation, thus reducing the musculoskeletal stress typically associated with the prolonged use of laptop computers.
- the docking station In a typical office configuration, the docking station will be located on the work surface to allow the user to easily connect the laptop to the dock. However, while this location provides the convenience of a quick and easy connection to the laptop, the docking station can take up valuable workspace, regardless of whether a vertical stand-alone docking station or a horizontal style docking station is utilized. Moreover, current generation docking stations positioned on the work surface leave the permanent cables exposed on the work surface, creating a cluttered work environment.
- the invention disclosed herein is directed to a computer docking station devised to save desktop space while also eliminating the presence of permanent cables that can clutter the work surface.
- prior art computer docking stations typically are unitary units that take up valuable space on the work surface
- the computer docking station of the present invention significantly reduces the docking station's desktop footprint by utilizing a split design, with a lower dock subassembly positioned beneath the work surface for housing the permanent cables necessary for the computer workstation to operate, and an upper dock subassembly comprising one or more data ports positioned on top of the work surface.
- a monitor arm mount can also be integrated into the upper dock subassembly, thereby alleviating the need for a separate monitor arm mount without negatively impacting the docking station's footprint.
- the split-design computer docking station of the present invention provides for improved accessibility to commonly used ports such as universal serial bus (USB) ports, high-speed charging port(s) and audio/microphone ports, while eliminating unsightly pemianent cables (e.g., power, video, and network cables) from the desktop, which not only improves aesthetics and the amount of available desk space, but also eliminates the safety hazard of having cables on the work surface and prevents users from intentionally or unintentionally tampering with permanent cables.
