    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable effective security in a combination state by placing a security selection switch of the extension unit, coupled with a notebook type PC, at a given position and locking a cable lock to a slot. SOLUTION: A security select slide knob 10 provided on the bottom surface of the extension unit 2 has three select positions. When the knob 10 is slid from a 1st select position indicating a free position to a 2nd select position, release buttons 6 and 7 of bays 4 and 5 are fixed to disable subsystems put in the bays to be taken out. To protect both the PC 1 and extension unit 2, the PC 1 is coupled with the extension unit 2 and the knob 10 is set at a 3rd selection position; and then the release buttons 6 and 7 are fixed, an injection lever 3 is also fixed, and the cable lock is fitted to an security slot 9 to couple the extension unit 2 integrally with the subsystems, thereby protecting the whole with the PC 1 which can not be separated.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: To reduce the number of part items, and to improve the space efficiency without damaging the operability in opening/closing a lid. CONSTITUTION: A structure having a lid is provided with a latching mechanism for locking turning end sides of a keyboard part 20 and a lid 16, which are equipped with a body 12 in an opening/closing manner to the body 12 and includes a latching member 26A (or 26B), which is movable from a first position where the latching mechanism locks the lid 16 and the keyboard part 20 to the body 12 to a second position, where the locking condition of the body 12 to the lid 16 and the keyboard part is unlocked, and only the locking condition of the body 12 to the lid 16 is unlocked at a third position a between the first position and the second position. The latching member 26A is constantly urged to the first position by a compressive coil spring 36A, and the compressive coil spring 36A is deformed into a V-shape upper side projects upward) at the second position of the latching member 26A.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: To stop equipment from being detached when a device itself is locked and enables the equipment to easily be detached when not locked by stopping a lid from being detached through operation with a movable body when a lock body is projected from a housing. CONSTITUTION: When a slider 26, i.e., plate (movable body) 60 is moved, the lock body 20A comes out of the housing 2 through an insertion opening 62. A projection 70 of the lid 2A is in a groove 66 of the plate 60 and this plate 60 locks the lid 2A. Consequently, the lid 2A can not be detached from an HDD dismounting part 2E, so nothing can be detached in the housing 2. Thus, the movement of the housing 2 is restrained by using a keyhole 20B of the lock body 20A projecting out of the housing 2 and anything can be prevented from being taken out of the housing 2. When the plate 60 is moved until the lock body 20A enters the housing 2, the lid 2A can be detached from the HDD dismounting part 2E since the projection 70 is released from the groove 66 of the plate 60.

    Abstract: To intend to inhibit an instrument such as a HDD or the like from being detached from an information processing apparatus when the information processing apparatus itself is engaged with an external fixed location and to allow an instrument such as a HDD or the like to be easily detached from the information processing apparatus when it is not so engaged. A body capable of receiving a detachable instrument used for information processing (for example, a storage unit such as a cartridge HDD or FDD, a cartridge IC memory, a card memory, or the like, a battery pack, a communication instrument, etc.), a movable member for allowing the instrument to be detached from the body when the movable member is at a first position and for inhibiting the instrument from being detached from the body when the movable member is at a second position, the member being capable of moving between the first position and the second position and being operated from the outside of the body, and an engaging member operable to inhibit the movable member from moving from the second position to the first position when the body is engaged with an external place and operable to allow the movable member to move from the second position to the first position when the body is not engaged with the external location are provided.

    Abstract: An integrated manual control input device is provided for use in a computer system having a graphical user interface. The device comprises a keyboard unit having a plurality of keys, a pointing actuator mounted to the keyboard between preselected ones of the keys for engagement by a user's index finger, at least one click button assembly pivotably mounted to the keyboard unit adjacent the keys and a normally open momentary switch beneath the click button assembly. The click button assembly has a button moveable downwardly by a user's thumb to select an ON state and subsequently releasable to select an OFF state. The button is also moveable downwardly and slidable laterally in a rearward direction to select a locked ON state to facilitate a drag operation.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a battery pack and a mechanism for connecting the battery pack (40) that provide increased freedom for detachment and removal from an electric/electronic device (10). Since a head (46), wherein a plurality of terminals are so provided inside individual slits as not to be exposed externally, is connected to a battery interface (76) that is a part of a personal computer and that has a plurality of plugs, the terminals of the battery pack are electrically connected to the corresponding plugs. Since all the slits of the head (46) are so formed that each extends fully through the head (46) in the direction of the thickness of the battery pack (40), and so that each is open at the top, at the bottom, and at one side, the head (46) can be connected to the battery interface (76) from the top, from the bottom, or from the side of the battery interface (76).
