Abstract
An enclosure for electronic equipment, such as a computer, and one or more support members mechanically attached to the enclosure. The bottom plate of the enclosure defines a pair of spaced slots for receiving each support member. One end of each support member is adapted to engage the surface on which the equipment is to be supported, a pair of spaced posts project from the other end of each support member, and a head is provided on the end of each post. Each support member is mounted to the enclosure by inserting the heads in the ends of the respective slots and rotating the support member to move the heads and the posts of the support member to the other ends of their respective slots which locks the support member to the bottom plate without protruding into the interior of the enclosure.
