Abstract:
1. An apparatus supporting mechanism for supporting an apparatus when the apparatus is installed on an installation plane, comprising: a fixing member for fixing the apparatus supporting mechanism to the bottom of the apparatus; a connecting member disposed in the fixing member in such a manner as to project from or to be retracted into said fixing member; a supporting member disposed on the connecting member and freely moveable between a first position, at which the supporting member is grounded or located adjacent the installation plane of the apparatus, and a second position, at which the supporting member is separated from the installation plane of the apparatus; and a displacing mechanism which is configured to move the supporting member to the first position if the connecting member projects from the fixing member and to move the supporting member to the second position if the connecting member is retracted into the fixing member; wherein the displacing mechanism includes a guiding member having a guide groove and a portion to be guided disposed in the connecting member and is configured such that the supporting member is rotatable by guiding the portion to be guided by the guide groove if the connecting member projects or is retracted, so as to displace the supporting member to the first position or the second position by the rotation of the supporting member.
