User station assembly with improved securing and releasing mechanism

A bracket can selectively engage and disengage with a base in order to selectively secure and release a user station (e.g., a laptop computer configured to interface with a computer system) for access by a user (e.g., a system administrator). The use of the bracket enables a user station assembly to store the user station within a computer device cabinet in a compact manner, and subsequently unfold the user station assembly from the computer device cabinet for convenient access. In one arrangement, a user station assembly, includes a base, a support frame and a bracket which is pivotably attached to the support frame. The bracket is arranged to selectively engage and disengage with the base such that (i) when the bracket engages with the base, the bracket secures the support frame with the base and secures a movable portion of a user station with the support frame, and (ii) when the bracket disengages with the base, the bracket releases the support frame from the base and releases the movable portion of the user station from the support frame. Accordingly, the bracket simultaneously can secure the movable portion of the user station with the support frame the base and the support frame with the base, when the user station is not in use. Furthermore, the bracket can release the movable portion of the user station from the support frame the base and the support frame from the base, when a user needs to access the user station.
