Foot assembly system
Disclosed is a foot assembly system comprising a foot member configured to attach to a base of a device through a cutout in the base. The system may further comprise a cap configured to affix the foot member to the base, wherein the foot member and cap are configured to engage from opposite sides of the base, through the cutout in the base.
1. A foot assembly for a device comprising:
a foot member; and
a cap,
wherein the foot member is configured to attach to a base of the device from a bottom surface of the base and through a cutout in the base,
wherein the cap is configured to engage with the base from a top surface of the base and through the cutout,
wherein the cap is configured to affix the position of the foot member to the base,
wherein the cutout comprises an insertion channel and an attachment channel, wherein the foot member comprises an attachment member configured to reversibly insert through the insertion channel, and translate into the attachment channel, wherein the attachment channel is configured to capture the attachment member within the cutout, and
wherein the cap has at least one stopper configured to be positioned adjacent to an end of the attachment member and fit within the insertion channel in order to prevent a reverse translation of the attachment member from the attachment channel into the insertion channel ( 122 ).
2. A foot assembly for a device comprising:
a foot member; and
a cap,
wherein the foot member is configured to attach to a base of the device from a bottom surface of the base and through a cutout in the base,
wherein the cap is configured to engage with the base from a top surface of the base and through the cutout,
wherein the cap is configured to affix the position of the foot member to the base,
wherein the cutout comprises first and second insertion channels and first and second attachment channels,
wherein the foot member ( 102 ) comprises first and second attachment members ( 111 b ), the first attachment member being configured to reversibly insert through the first insertion channel ( 107 b ), and translate into the first attachment channel ( 124 ); the second attachment member ( 111 b ) being configured to reversibly insert through the second insertion channel ( 107 b ), and translate into the second attachment channel ( 124 ),
wherein the first attachment channel is configured to capture the first attachment member within the cutout, and the second attachment channel is configured to capture the second attachment member within the cutout, and
wherein the first and second attachment members have semi-circular geometries, wherein the cutout includes two circumferentially aligned cutout channels comprising corresponding semi-circular geometries, and wherein the cap includes first and second stoppers configured to insert and fit within the first and second insertion channels in order to prevent a reverse translation of the attachment members from the attachment channels into the insertion channels.
3. The foot assembly of claim 1 , wherein the attachment member translates into the attachment channel by rotation.
4. The foot assembly of claim 1 , wherein the device is a computer, and wherein the foot member is configured to support the device on a bottom surface of the foot member.
5. The foot assembly of claim 2 , wherein the attachment members translate into the attachment channel by rotation.
6. The foot assembly of claim 2 , wherein the device is a computer, and wherein the foot member is configured to support the device on a bottom surface of the foot member.
