Abstract
A support assembly for a measuring device may include a first retention body, a second retention body, and a wire member having a foot portion, legs and engagement members. The foot portion may extend between distal ends of the legs, and the engagement members may extend from respective proximal ends of the legs. The first and second retention bodies may each include a retaining channel extending at least partially therethrough to receive respective ones of the engagement members. The wire member may be operably coupled to the first and second retention bodies to be transitioned between a retracted state and a deployed state in which the foot member is configured to engage ground upon which the measuring device is operable adjacent to a wheel of the support assembly. The legs and the foot portion may be operably coupled to each other such that tension is increased when the wire member is transitioned between the retracted state and deployed state and is lower in one or both of the retracted state and the deployed state.
