Abstract: An improved case is disclosed with a pivoting platform. The case comprises a lower case having a primary side wall and a secondary side wall for defining a lower case chamber. Lower ends of a first arm, a second arm, a third arm and a fourth arm are pivotably coupled to the case. A platform has a primary platform side and a secondary platform side. Upper ends of the first arm, the second arm, the third arm and the fourth arm are pivotably coupled to the platform. The first arm, the second arm, the third arm and the fourth arm displace the platform between an elevated position and a non-elevated position. A primary spring is coupled to the lower end of the first arm and the upper end of the second arm for retaining the platform in the elevated position and the non-elevated position.
Abstract: A case for a device configured to couple with a mounting fixture is provided. The case includes a first housing and a second housing. The first housing and the second housing are cooperatively shaped to enclose a first portion of the device when the device is coupled to the mounting fixture. The first housing and the second housing form an opening when coupled together and expose a second portion of the device that comprises the coupling hardware for attaching the device to the mounting fixture. A third housing is removably coupled to the opening wherein the third housing is cooperatively shaped to receive the second portion of the device and enclose the device when the device is removed from the mounting fixture.
