Abstract
A docking apparatus includes a mechanism which allows both manual and powered locking and unlocking of the apparatus. A locking unit is disposed on a housing and is configured to be rotated to either an open position, a closed position, or a neutral position with a key. A key pinion is configured to rotate and drive an engaged key ring in response to a rotation of the locking unit using the key. A motor pinion is configured to rotate and drive an engaged motor ring in response to a rotation of the motor, which is electronically controlled.
