Selectively rotatable feet for an apparatus

An electronic device comprising:

• a casing with a front surface and a rear surface;
• a display device disposed on the front surface of the casing;
• a base portion attached to the casing and positioned to support the casing on an adjacent surface;
• a plurality of feet disposed on the base portion and that at least partially protrude from the base portion;
• brakes disposed within the base portion and that are operable to engage and disengage with different respective feet of the plurality;
• and
• a first brake switch and a second brake switch that are individually selectable to cause the brakes to be selectively disengaged from the different respective feet of the plurality such that:
• selection of the first brake switch without selection of the second brake switch causes a first brake for a first foot of the plurality of feet to disengage while a second brake for a second foot of the plurality of feet is engaged to allow the first foot to rotate relative to the adjacent surface and the base portion to pivot on the adjacent surface relative to the second foot;
• and
• selection of the first brake switch and the second brake switch causes the first brake and the second brake to disengage such that the first foot and the second foot are rotatable on the adjacent surface to allow for translational movement of the base portion relative to the adjacent surface.

An apparatus comprising:

• a body portion;
• feet that are disposed on the body portion and that protrude at least partially from the body portion, the feet including a first foot, a second foot, and one or more other feet;
• brakes that are disposed within the body portion, the brakes including a first brake that is operable to engage and disengage with the first foot, a second brake that is operable to engage and disengage with the second foot, and one or more other brakes that are operable to engage and disengage with the one or more other feet;
• and
• brake switches including:
• a first brake switch that is selectable to disengage the first brake from the first foot and disengage the one or more other brakes from the one or more other feet to allow the first foot and the one or more other feet to be rotatable on an adjacent surface and to allow pivoting movement of the body portion about the second foot and relative to the adjacent surface;
• and
• a second brake switch that is selectable to disengage the second brake from the second foot and disengage the one or more other brakes from the one or more other feet to allow the second foot and the one or more other feet to be rotatable on the adjacent surface and to allow pivoting movement of the body portion about the first foot and relative to the adjacent surface.
