ABSTRACT:
Among other things, a receptacle supports an electronic device; support legs connected to the receptacle are movable in a common plane between a first, retracted position and a second, extended position; and a coupling translates movement of one of the support legs between the positions to corresponding movement of at least another one of the support legs.
