Abstract
A foot device for supporting electronic equipment thereon comprises a sleeve having an axial through bole, and a plurality of balls one by one in line provided in the hole wherein the bottom and top balls are extended above the axial through hole. As such, in use, the electronic equipment is supported by the extended ball of the foot device, while not in contact with supporting plane. This point based contact has the effect of suspending the electronic equipment in the air, thus eliminating interference. Further, the vibration generated by the electronic equipment is not absorbed and interfered by the supporting plane, resulting in a uniform transmission of vibration to all directions without damping or interfering for achieving a maximum quality.
Claims3
A foot device for supporting an electronic equipment on a supporting plane, the device comprising:
- (a) a sleeve having an axial hole which extends therethrough to a top end and a bottom end of the sleeve;
- (b) a plurality of balls disposed in the axial hole, whereby any two adjacent balls are in an engagement with each other through a contact point, a topmost ball extending beyond the top end of the axial hole and a bottommost ball extending beyond the bottom end of the axial hole;
- (c) a cap disposed above the top end of the axial hole and in contact with the topmost ball for engagement by the electronic equipment, and a base disposed under the bottom end of the axial hole and in contact with the bottommost ball for engagement with the supporting plane;
- (d) each of the cap and base including a recess formed therein, an air opening formed in a periphery of each of the cap and base for providing communication between the recesses and outside air to balance air pressures in the recesses;
- and
- (e) whereby the device permits supporting the electronic equipment in a suspended manner and out of contact with the supporting plane so that vibrations generated by the electronic equipment is not absorbed by the supporting plane, thereby resulting in a uniform transmission of the vibrations in all directions without damping or interference.
