Adjustable support for multimedia display device

A multimedia display device, comprising:

• a housing;
• an image projector maintained within the housing;
• a media player maintained within the housing;
• a ring rotatably coupled with the housing and including a plurality of ramp surfaces;
• and
• a foot mated with the ring and coupled with the housing, the foot including a plurality of engaging surfaces,
• wherein the plurality of ramp surfaces are circumferentially spaced with respect to one another at substantially equal intervals, wherein each of the engaging surfaces contacts a respective one of the ramp surfaces, and wherein each of the engaging surfaces are adapted to slide along the respective one of the ramp surfaces to vary a distance the foot extends from the housing.

An adjustable support for a multimedia display device including an image projector, the adjustable support comprising:

• means for supporting the image projector;
• means for rotatably coupling a ring with the means for supporting the image projector;
• means for non-rotatably coupling a foot with the means for supporting the image projector;
• and
• means for varying a distance the foot extends from the means for supporting the image projector upon rotation of the ring with respect to the means for supporting the image projector, wherein at least one of the foot and the ring includes means for increasing friction between the foot and the ring.

An adjustable support for a multimedia display device including an image projector, the adjustable support comprising:

• means for supporting the image projector;
• means for rotatably coupling a ring with the means for supporting the image projector;
• means for non-rotatably coupling a foot with the means for supporting the image projector;
• means for biasing the foot toward the means for supporting the image projector;
• and
• means for varying a distance the foot extends from the means for supporting the image projector upon rotation of the ring with respect to the means for supporting the image projector.

An adjustable support for a multimedia display device including an image projector, the adjustable support comprising:

• means for supporting the image projector;
• means for rotatably coupling a ring with the means for supporting the image projector;
• means for non-rotatably coupling a foot with the means for supporting the image projector;
