Abstract
In an example, a device foot may include a support movable between a first position and a second position, and a bias member to urge the support towards the first position. An example device foot may further include a latch biased towards a locked position, and movable between the locked position and a released position. Further, the latch may lock the support in the first position if the latch is disposed in the locked position, and may release the support if the latch is disposed in the released position such that the support is movable from the first position to the second position. An example device foot may further include a magnetic element fixed to the latch.
Claims15
A device foot, comprising:
- a support movable between a first position and a second position;
- a bias member to urge the support towards the first position;
- a latch biased towards a locked position and movable between the locked position and a released position,
- wherein the latch is to lock the support in the first position if disposed in the locked position and to release the support if disposed in the released position such that the support is movable from the first position to the second position;
- and
- a magnetic element fixed to the latch.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a device housing, and
- a device foot disposed within the device housing, the device foot comprising:
- a support movable between a first position and a second position;
- a bias member to urge the support towards the first position;
- a first latch biased towards a first locked position and movable between the first locked position and a first released position;
- a second latch biased towards a second locked position and movable between the second locked position and a second released position;
- a first magnetic element fixed to the first latch;
