Abstract
The charging station for charging devices, such as tablets, smart phones, mobile electronic devices, mobile computing devices, and other electronic devices accepts insertion of the device into a storage aperture. Insertion of the device into the storage pushes a receiver rearward towards a charging base. A locking finger locks the receiver into position to overcome biasing devices that bias the receiver towards the storage aperture. The locking finger maintain the position of the receiver. The locking finger also releases the receiver to push the device outwards towards the exit. A conductive contact within the storage aperture contacts the device to charge and communicate with the device. A blocking finger extends across the device to also limit removal of the device from the storage aperture.
