Patent abstract
A spring-loaded rotatable support integrated into the end of a cable modem housing can be deployed to prevent tipping of the modem housing when it is placed in the vertical position, and stowed to allow placement of the modem in a horizontal position. The support is formed so that its ends are shaped similarly to the front edge of the modem near the bottom end where the support is located. Thus, when the support is stowed, it blends into the overall shape of the modem, facilitating horizontal modem-placement and does not detract from the aesthetics of the modem. The support is shrouded at the rear of the bottom end to the extent that the support extends from the bottom end to provide level support.
