When the stopper 262 is at the locking position a, the operating member 240 cannot move relative to the fixing member 230 (i.e., the operating member 241 cannot move along the sliding member 242), so that the operating member 240 cannot be operated. When the limiter 262 is in the unlocked position B, the operating assembly 240 can be operated to move relative to the fixed member 230 (i.e., the operating member 241 can move along the slider 242).
That is, the electronic device set 1000 of the second embodiment further has the effect of preventing the electronic device 100 from being arbitrarily detached from the docking station 200 by an unauthorized person. The connection of the various elements of lock cylinder assembly 260 and securing member 230 to one another will be described below.
